Receiving Consumer Opt-Out Requests for Wholesale Deliveries

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a new data privacy law that applies to businesses which collect personal information from California residents. The new law went into effect on January 1, 2020.

Starting January 1, 2020, we will be passing hashed email and mobile device ID opt-out requests for for customers who receive cookie <> hashed email linkages and mobile device ID <> hashed email linkages. See below for further instructions.

Note

At this time we will not be passing deletion requests.

LiveRamp will stop delivering data on opted out cookies and hashed emails for customers that are receiving cookie <> hashed email linkages for pixel-based integrations.

For historical data, LiveRamp will deliver batch files of opted-out hashed emails to an SFTP or AWS S3 bucket you specify. The files will contain the following columns:

Column

Definition

MD5 Hash

Email address using MD5 hashing.

SHA-1 Hash

Email address using SHA-1 hashing.

SHA-256 Hash

Email address using SHA-256 hashing.

Opted-Out

Whether the user is opted-out (“1” or “0”). If “1”, user has opted-out.

Contact your LiveRamp technical representative to provide an SFTP or S3 bucket to receive these files.

LiveRamp will propagate opt-outs as the last column of the files for customers that are receiving cookie <> hashed email linkages or mobile device ID <> hashed email linkages via flat file.

No changes to your usual delivery path, or your SFTP or S3 bucket, will be required.
