How to protect your information

On this page

Californians have the strongest consumer privacy protections in the country. But many of us don’t have the time or expertise to exercise our rights. CalPrivacy is working hard to make privacy easy. Follow these tips to get more control over your privacy.

Enable Opt-out preference signals. A woman points toward a signal

Submit a privacy request - A man fills out a paper form

Limit website tracking - a person in a browser uses a sword and shield to defend itself against eyes

Limit mobile device tracking - footprints surround a person who is struggling to float in a pool/phone surrounded by apps and icons

Secure your account - a person tries to login on their phone

Monitor breaches and watch for scams - a woman holds up a magnifying glass to detect a scammer hiding in a letter

Submit a complaint - a hand pushes a paper into a submission box

Additional protections - three people search for something next to a search bar
