Facing a CCPA Right to Delete Request? You’re Not Alone.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), businesses must securely and completely erase personal data upon request. But responding isn’t as simple as clicking ‘delete.’

BCWipe’s latest update makes CCPA compliance faster, easier and verifiable.

This webinar and demo video guide you through:

  • What is the CCPA Right to Delete?
  • Common Challenges of Data Deletion
  • The 3-Step Compliance Plan
  • Why BCWipe & Data Discovery?
  • Demo
  • Q&A

What Is the CCPA Right to Delete?

The CCPA ‘Right to Delete’ gives California residents the legal power to request full erasure of their personal data. Organizations must permanently and completely remove all related information, including backups and hidden traces.

Failing to comply can lead to:

  • Regulatory fines
  • Damaged brand trust
  • Ongoing data exposure

Common Challenges of CCPA Data Deletion

  • Locating All Data
    Sensitive data may be scattered across emails, temp folders, remote devices, archives and third-party apps.
  • Ensuring Permanent Erasure
    Standard deletion leaves recoverable traces. True CCPA compliance requires sanitizing metadata and free space.
  • Providing Proof
    You must demonstrate that the data has been securely erased for both customers and auditors.

The 3-Step CCPA Compliance Plan

Jetico recommends this approach, demonstrated in the video:

  1. Find All Personal Data
    Use BCWipe’s built-in Data Discovery module to search your entire network, including pattern matching for Social Security numbers, email addresses and customer IDs.
  2. Erase Completely & Securely
    Wipe original files, backups, remnants and hidden traces using proven data erasure standards.
  3. Verify & Report
    Automatically generate detailed erasure reports to support internal audits and regulatory requirements.
