California Delete Act DROP Platform Launches with $200/Day Fines for Data Brokers

California's Delete Act DELETE Request Platform (DROP) launched January 1, 2026, imposing compounding $200/day fines for registered data brokers who fail to fulfill deletion requests. The new ADMT and cybersecurity audit requirements are now operative under CPRA. Businesses with CCPA programs built before 2024 likely have compliance gaps.
