Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), consumers have the right to request the deletion of their personal information held by a business. However, there are several exceptions to this right that allow businesses to retain personal information even if a deletion request has been made.
One such exception is for completing transactions and providing services. If the consumer has an ongoing relationship with the business, such as an active account or an outstanding order, the business may need to retain personal information to fulfill the terms of that relationship. Additionally, businesses are permitted to retain personal information for certain other purposes, including:
-
Completing the transaction for which the personal information was collected, providing a good or service requested by the consumer, or reasonably anticipated within the context of a business’s ongoing business relationship with the consumer, or otherwise performing a contract between the business and the consumer.
-
Detecting security incidents, protecting against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; or prosecuting those responsible for that activity.
-
Complying with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (CalECPA) or other legal obligations.
-
Engaging in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information's deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research's achievement, if the consumer has provided informed consent.
-
Enabling solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with the expectations of the consumer based on the consumer’s relationship with the business.
-
Making other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which the consumer provided it.
Therefore, if a customer's personal information is necessary for completing transactions or for keeping accurate business records (such as in accounting), the business may deny a request to delete this information. However, businesses must also clearly communicate the reasons for denying such requests to the consumer. It's important for businesses to review their data retention policies and ensure they are in compliance with CCPA and other relevant laws, balancing legal obligations and consumer rights effectively.
