CCPA Consumer Rights Request Generator

Your Request Letter

How this works

This tool assembles a plain-language request letter citing the California Consumer Privacy Act, tailored to the specific right you're exercising — access, deletion, correction, or opt-out.

It doesn't verify whether the business you're contacting is actually a "covered business" under CCPA/CPRA (use our CCPA/CPRA Applicability Checker for that) or submit anything on your behalf — you'll need to send the generated text yourself, typically via email or the business's designated privacy request channel (many larger businesses have a dedicated web form or toll-free number for this).

Keep a copy of what you send and when, since a covered business generally has 45 days to respond, extendable once by another 45 days if they notify you why.

Frequently Asked Questions

What consumer rights does CCPA give me?

California consumers can request to know what personal information a business has collected about them, request deletion of that information, request correction of inaccurate information, and opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information.

How long does a business have to respond to my request?

Generally 45 days, with a possible one-time 45-day extension if the business notifies you and explains the reason — for a maximum of 90 days in most cases.

Do I have to use a specific form to make a CCPA request?

No specific form is legally required, but your request should clearly identify which right you're exercising and provide enough information for the business to verify your identity. A written letter or email like the one this tool generates is a common, effective approach.

Can every business ignore my CCPA request?

No, but only businesses that meet CCPA's applicability thresholds (revenue, consumer volume, or data-sale-revenue share) are legally required to respond. Use our CCPA/CPRA Applicability Checker to see if a specific business is likely covered.

What if a business doesn't respond to my request?

You can file a complaint with the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) or the California Attorney General's office. In some cases, especially data breaches, consumers may also have a private right of action.
