What engineering work it implies
Sample acceptance criteria Landfall generates for this obligation:
- List every use of sensitive personal information (including data of consumers known to be under 16) and mark which fall outside 11 CCR § 7027(m)
- If any use falls outside § 7027(m), a "Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information" link (or the combined alternative opt-out link) and a Notice of Right to Limit are published
- A limit request restricts processing to the permitted purposes within 15 business days and is passed to service providers, contractors and third parties
- If every use is within § 7027(m), the assessment is documented instead
- After a limit request, the test user's sensitive data is used only for § 7027(m) purposes
