- Small data brokers handling California DROP requests
- Worth noticing
- The walkthrough covers SHA-256/Base64 normalization, including composite identifiers, and cites the DROP API spec v1.2.0.
Field notes
The documented process includes six request-list types and a ZIP download containing one CSV per list; after the first download, the page says later files contain new or amended requests plus a Removed file. It also explains how to report Deleted, Opted out, Not found, or Exempted statuses, and says matched and unmatched requests belong on a suppression list. These are described requirements and intended product steps, not verified automation.
