Watch out for
- Focus USA's registry entry says it holds gender identity and expression data, which is worth naming if that's your concern.
- The registry contact is an individual's email address rather than a privacy desk, so go through the page first.
- The page is the only route the registry names. If it won't load, phone before you assume the request went through.

Your rights
Focus USA is on the California data broker registry, so California residents can opt out of sale and ask for deletion.
California: CCPA. If you live in California, the CCPA lets you ask a business to delete the personal information it holds about you and to stop selling or sharing it. Businesses generally have 45 days to respond.
California: the Delete Act. Data brokers that hold information on Californians must register with the state. California residents can use DROP, the state's Delete Request and Opt-out Platform, to send one deletion request to every registered broker at once.
Other US states. Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Oregon and a growing list of other states give residents a similar right to delete. Vermont, Texas and Oregon also make data brokers register with the state. Where no state law applies, the broker's own opt-out above still works for most people.
