Clear "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link in website footer

CCPA § 1798.135(a)(1) mandates that businesses that sell or share PI place a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link — the statute specifies this exact text — conspicuously in the website footer, accessible on every page. A link only on the marketing homepage that disappears once users enter the authenticated app is non-compliant. Missing the exact statutory text (using "Privacy Choices" alone, for example) is also non-compliant. The footer link is often the first thing a CPPA investigator checks; its absence is a clear-cut violation requiring no further investigation to establish.

Add the link to your site-wide footer component, not just a marketing layout, so it appears in the authenticated application experience.

// components/layout/SiteFooter.tsx
export function SiteFooter() {
  return (
    <footer className="border-t py-8">
      <div className="container mx-auto flex flex-wrap gap-4 text-sm text-muted-foreground">
        <a href="/privacy">Privacy Policy</a>
        <a href="/terms">Terms of Service</a>
        {/* Required by CCPA § 1798.135(a)(1) if you sell or share PI */}
        <a href="/do-not-sell">Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information</a>
      </div>
    </footer>
  )
}

Import SiteFooter in your root app/layout.tsx, not just app/(marketing)/layout.tsx. Confirm the link renders on authenticated dashboard pages in addition to public marketing pages. If space is tight, the approved short form is "Do Not Sell or Share" — anything shorter is non-compliant.
