CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act)

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), is a state statute that grants California residents rights over their personal information: the right to know, delete, correct, opt-out of sale/sharing, limit use of sensitive personal information, and non-discrimination for exercising privacy rights. It is enforced by the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) and the California Attorney General. Technical interoperability mechanisms include the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal and the IAB Tech Lab US Privacy (USP) / Global Privacy Platform (GPP) signals for advertising technology. This index tracks the official regulatory resources, technical privacy signals, and commercial APIs that help businesses comply with CCPA/CPRA obligations.

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) the way a machine reads it — 31 machine-readable artifacts across 4 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) scores 22.5/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 7/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act)

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act). For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 4

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.
