Figure out whether CCPA or CPRA likely applies, then move straight into next steps.
Privasee gives operators a dated, source-backed first pass on California privacy scope. It explains the main signals, flags uncertainty, and turns the outcome into a practical workflow handoff.
As of April 19, 2026. Threshold framing is shown with authority links, not timeless hardcoded claims.
What this checks
California reach, business posture, threshold signals, carve-outs, and the operational meaning of the result.
What this does not do
It does not replace counsel or automate full DSAR fulfillment. It helps you triage and route the work.
How it works
Answer a short intake about California connection, business structure, and threshold signals.
Review an explainable verdict with rights, obligations, carve-outs, and missing facts.
Copy the result or hand it into a Process Street workflow for follow-through.
Outcome previews
Likely in scope
Strong California business signals plus at least one major threshold trigger.
Likely out of scope
Weak California signal or no threshold trigger based on the current facts.
Needs review
Some facts are missing, low-confidence, or potentially narrowed by exemptions.

FAQ preview
Does Privasee replace legal advice?
No. It is a first-pass triage workflow that helps an operator organize facts, pressure-test scope, and hand off into a real workflow.
Why are the thresholds date stamped?
Because California privacy rules and agency framing can change. We show an as-of date and source links instead of pretending the numbers are timeless.
What if the result is uncertain?
Privasee routes uncertain scenarios into a needs-review outcome with a fact list to verify next.
