That’s an FAQ for consumers. It’s not legally binding.

>These FAQs provide general consumer information about the CCPA and how you can exercise your rights under the CCPA. They are not legal advice, regulatory guidance, or an opinion of the Attorney General. We will update this information periodically.

I hope you can understand that people can be underconfident in their understanding of a law that spans 46 pages, is bound by the entirety of a state’s statutes and case law, and feel overwhelmed by someone asking for a response on their compliance with said law.
