CCPA authorized agents: how someone can opt out for you

Under the CCPA/CPRA, a California consumer can designate an authorized agent to submit "Do Not Sell or Share" and deletion requests for them.

Brokers may ask the agent for proof of authorization and may ask you to verify your own identity. That is why Withheld generates a signed, versioned mandate up front.

California also maintains a public data-broker registry under the DELETE Act — a rare structured starting point for knowing who holds your data.
