Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information Page in Magento 2

CCPA: Short Overview

Data privacy regulation is no longer a European Union-only initiative. One of the more comprehensive information privacy laws to come out of the United States is the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which went live on January 1, 2020. Many of the provisions of the CCPA have been modeled after or influenced by the European Union"s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The last one is widely considered the gold standard for protecting individual privacy. However, everyone should know the differences between the GDPR & CCPA, especially if you are running the Magento 2 online store.

One of the main differences between the two principal regulations is that, unlike GDPR, CCPA requires a clear "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link for users to opt out of the sale of their personal info.
