CCPA-Aligned File Sharing with Full Visibility

01. How does MX help businesses meet CCPA file transfer requirements?

My MX Data is designed to support CCPA-aligned file sharing and data exchange, helping businesses protect the personal information of California residents during digital transfers. Whether you’re processing consumer requests, managing internal records, or transferring sensitive customer data, MX applies encryption, access control, and transparency to help ensure CCPA compliance.

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) requires businesses to implement reasonable security procedures and safeguards. MX supports this through ASR (Anonymize, Shard, Restore) encryption, named-user access policies, and real-time file tracking – offering verifiable protections for every transfer.

CCPA-focused protections within MX include:

• End-to-End Encryption: Files are secured in transit and at rest using AES-256 and quantum-resilient ASR encryption.
• Named-User Sharing Only: Prevents unauthorized access by eliminating public links and enforcing recipient validation.
• Access Logs & Timestamping: Maintain detailed records of file views, downloads, and handoffs to support audit readiness.
• Client Upload Portals: Allow consumers to safely submit files during subject access or deletion requests.
• Data Residency Options: Choose U.S.-based hosting to maintain compliance with jurisdictional data controls.

Given that 60% of uploaded files are never shared but still contain regulated information, tools like MX help ensure that even dormant data remains protected and fully governed under CCPA rules.

02. What CCPA rights does MX help facilitate (e.g. access, deletion)?

My MX Data helps your organization uphold key consumer rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) by providing the tools and controls needed to manage personal data access, disclosure, and deletion with precision and security.

Whether you’re handling requests from clients, customers, or employees, MX allows you to respond quickly and compliantly – while maintaining full traceability and encryption throughout the process.

CCPA rights supported by MX include:

• Right to Access: Generate a secure, auditable export of personal data tied to an individual request, without exposing it via public links.
• Right to Deletion: Delete files associated with a user or transaction from MX servers, with optional automated confirmation workflows.
• Right to Know: Use MX audit logs to identify where personal data has been shared, who accessed it, and when.
• Right to Restrict Sharing: MX never shares files via open URLs – only with named users under strict access controls.
• Custom File Request Forms: Accept and manage subject access requests through secure upload portals linked to your domain.

All of this is backed by quantum-safe encryption and detailed file activity tracking, helping reduce legal exposure while respecting user privacy.

03. How does MX help document CCPA request activity and access logs?

My MX Data is purpose-built to support CCPA compliance by giving businesses robust tools to log access, monitor file sharing, and track privacy-related actions. Whether you’re handling requests for access, deletion, or data portability, MX helps maintain a complete, verifiable audit trail.

Key features that support CCPA documentation include:

• Detailed access logs: Track every time a file is viewed, downloaded, or modified, with user identity and timestamps.
• Request tagging: Flag uploads or shares as related to a CCPA consumer request for streamlined oversight and retrieval.
• Searchable audit history: Quickly retrieve historical actions for compliance verification and reporting.
• Automated data expiration: Set files to expire after a CCPA request has been fulfilled, reducing long-term liability.

This end-to-end tracking allows you to confidently respond to any audit or consumer rights inquiry. MX also supports compliance with other major privacy frameworks, such as HIPAA and NIST 800-171, offering a unified system for regulated data transfer and visibility.

04. Is MX suitable for both CCPA intake requests and outbound delivery?

Yes – My MX Data is designed to support the full CCPA lifecycle, from secure intake of consumer requests to outbound delivery of personal data in a compliant and trackable format.

Secure Intake Collection – Consumers can submit requests through encrypted upload portals tailored to your brand. Each portal is access-restricted and logs all uploads with time stamps, reducing legal exposure during audits or investigations.

Controlled File Responses – When fulfilling requests, your team can send data using secure file delivery with automatic expiry rules, download tracking, and optional access authentication. No public links, no uncontrolled forwarding.

Audit Support – MX logs every interaction for full accountability. Whether it’s a deletion request or access disclosure, you’ll have verifiable evidence of when data was received, reviewed, and delivered – aligned with CCPA reporting requirements.

Data Residency & Retention – Retain or remove consumer data in accordance with your own policies, with support for regional storage and built-in expiration controls.
