CCPA and Your Mobile Privacy

The CCPA gives California residents significant control over their personal data. PrivateSims supports these privacy rights by minimizing data collection from the start.

Your CCPA Rights

  • Right to know: Request disclosure of what personal data carriers collect
  • Right to delete: Request deletion of your personal data
  • Right to opt-out: Opt out of the sale of your personal data
  • Right to non-discrimination: Carriers cannot penalize you for exercising rights

Major Carrier Data Practices

Investigations have revealed that major carriers collect and sell extensive customer data including location, browsing history, and app usage. The most effective protection remains preventing data collection through an anonymous eSIM. Read our carrier surveillance defense guide.

FAQ

Does CCPA apply to prepaid and eSIM services?

Yes, CCPA applies to any business collecting personal information from California residents.

Can I use CCPA to stop carrier data sales?

Yes, but carriers may still share data for operational purposes. An anonymous eSIM avoids this issue entirely.
