Since August 1, 2026, every registered data broker must pull the DROP deletion list at least every 45 days and resolve each request within 90 days. No revenue threshold — a solo email-append shop is as much a broker as a giant. Enterprise suites start at $10k/yr and ignore this segment. DropWatch is the command center built for the 600+ small brokers they price out.
Operational compliance software, not legal advice. No credit card to try the quiz.
The 8-question self-assessment scores your broker risk the way a regulator would — including the "accidental broker" traps in lead-gen, list brokerage, and B2B contact data.
CA, TX, OR, VT — plus CT and NJ on the 2027 law radar. Fees, renewal countdowns, per-state penalty exposure, readiness checklists.
Record each DROP pull, import the deletion-list CSV with duplicate detection, and work every request to deleted / suppressed / exception inside its 90-day window.
Every action lands in an append-only ledger. One click downloads the evidence ZIP — ledger, pull cycles, determinations, hashed suppression list — for the 2028 audits.
OneTrust, Transcend, and DataGrail are built for enterprise privacy teams: data mapping, 100+ integrations, DSAR orchestration. None of them has a purpose-built 45-day DROP pull workflow, a multi-state broker registration tracker, or per-request penalty math — because their buyers aren't small brokers.
| DropWatch | Enterprise suites | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Small registered brokers | Enterprise privacy teams |
| Price | $149–$299/mo | Custom · ~$3k–$10k+/yr to start |
| DROP 45-day pull cadence | purpose-built | not modeled |
| §7614 report-back export | per-cycle CSV + filed tracking | no |
| Unverifiable-request opt-out path | disposition + vendor-notice log | no |
| Broker registration tracker | 6 states + law radar | not their unit of analysis |
| Per-request penalty exposure | $200/req/day, live | no |
| One-click audit evidence pack | ZIP for 2028 audits | generic exports |
| Suppression list (hashed) | SHA-256, with lookup | no |
Honest note: the enterprise platforms lead on automated data mapping and integrations. If you have a privacy engineering team, they're the right buy. DropWatch wins the broker-specific operational cadence they structurally won't build for a $149/mo segment.

Annual billing on request. Cancel anytime — your ledger and evidence pack export before you leave.
Probably, if you sell or share personal information of people with no direct relationship to your business — lead-gen, list brokerage, email append/enrichment, B2B contact databases, ad-tech. California has no revenue threshold. Take the quiz.
$200 per unprocessed deletion request per day, uncapped, with no cure period — plus $200/day for failing to register at all. CalPrivacy's enforcement strike force has already fined unregistered brokers $35k–$55k in settlements. A 5,000-request backlog at 45 days is $45M of exposure.
No. The suppression list stores only SHA-256 hashes — minimum-necessary identifiers. Deletion requests reference hashed identifiers, never plaintext.
CT's $2,500/yr registration duty starts Jan 1, 2027 (PA 26-64), with a state deletion mechanism due 2028. NJ's tiered-fee registry ($5k–$1.5M/yr) is expected spring 2027. Both are tracked on the law radar with readiness checklists.
No. DropWatch is an operational compliance tool. Verify your obligations with privacy counsel.
Yes, anytime, with one click from Billing. Your audit ledger and evidence pack export before you leave — your compliance proof is never hostage to a subscription.
