Late registration: your statutory exposure

$35,400

177 days × $200

Plus 250 unprocessed deletion requests.

Each one carries its own $200-a-day clock, counted separately.

Statutory maximums under Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.99.82. Not predictions, and not legal advice. DropDue keeps the record. Your counsel makes the judgment calls.

Automated is $4.90 a day. The fine is up to $200 a day.

One cycle, every 45 days.

You download the list every 45 days, we match it, you approve, the status file is filed.

The part that quietly breaks.

A hash is a scrambled identifier. Get the field order wrong and every match fails silently. The deletion never happens, and the clock keeps running.

We keep what the state doesn’t.

Every cycle, match, and filed status: logged, chained, exportable as PDF or JSON. Hashing runs in your browser; raw data never reaches our servers.

How we hold your key.

The DROP key is the most sensitive thing you hand us. Here is exactly what happens to it.

No SOC 2 report yet. It is on the roadmap, and we will say so here the day that changes.

AT REST
Encrypted at rest with AES-256. Never written to a log.
WHO SEES IT
Nobody at DropDue. It is decrypted only inside the job that calls DROP, never shown back to you or to us.
WHEN YOU LEAVE
Delete it, or cancel, and it is purged immediately. Automated pulls stop the same minute.
ON PAPER
A DPA carrying California's service-provider terms is presented at signup. Not on request.

Two dates, all year.

We track both, alert you early, and fill in your registration answers. You still click submit.

If we drop the ball, we pay for it.

Miss a cycle you set up correctly, and that month is refunded.

Correctly set up = valid key, accurate settings, your confirmations made in time.

The refund is the remedy. Statutory penalties stay with you, the broker of record. Full guarantee terms →

Do you see our records?
No. Hashing runs in your browser. We store hashes and cycle records, not raw data.
How do I know your hashing is right?
Check it yourself, free, before paying us anything. We test against CalPrivacy’s own published vectors.
Where do I get a DROP key, and do I have to hand it over?
You issue it yourself in the CPPA Data Broker Portal: Consumer Deletion Lists, then the API Key tab. You only give it to us on Automated and Done for you. Self-serve never asks for it.
What does “Submitted” mean, versus “Filed”?
Submitted means your status file reached DROP and was accepted for validation. Filed means the CPPA confirmed it back, usually within a week. We show both, because only one of them is proof.
Who decides Deleted versus Exempted?
You do. DropDue shows you every match and files exactly the status you pick, with your reason and your name against it. We do not make that call for you.
What if DropDue shuts down?
Every export is a file you already own. Your compliance record doesn’t depend on us staying open.

Your next cycle opens whether you’re ready or not.

Start with the free hash checker. It takes about a minute.
