The California Privacy Protection Agency ordered Growbots, Inc. to pay $35,400 for failing to register as a data broker as California law requires. The Board approved the order in closed session on November 8, 2024, and the agency announced it on November 14, 2024. The published record states the amount as 177 days of late registration multiplied by the daily statutory amount.
What the action was about
California requires a business meeting the statutory definition of a data broker to register with the agency each year by January 31. The statute attaches a penalty of up to $200 per day for each day a business fails to register. That is the duty at issue in this action, and it is separate from the ongoing deletion work a registered broker has to run every 45 days.
