Clearwater tells you whether you are a data broker, keeps every state's yearly registration on its date with California's late penalty worked out, and - from August 1, 2026 - holds the record of every DROP pull, every request processed, never 45 days apart.
Opens in this browser with an invented affiliate network already in it. No account, no email address, nothing installed. Never holds a consumer's name, email or identifier.
The problem
California, Vermont, Texas and Oregon want data brokers registered every year - California charges $200 for each day late. From August 1, 2026, California's DROP sends deletion requests every broker must pull at least every 45 days and process in full.
California's penalty for each day a data broker goes unregistered after January 31.
Perkins Coie →Not a reminder. A DROP pull is refused with any request unprocessed, before DROP opens, or twice in a day; one more than 45 days after the last is marked. A registration is refused twice for a state and year. Nothing is deleted.
How it works
Do you sell or share data of people you don't know directly?
Every state, every year, on its date.
At least every 45 days, every request processed.
What it will never do
Clearwater holds dates and counts, nothing more.
Pricing
For one platform.
Every registration, every DROP pull.
Monthly. Your bank statement says Clearwater Software. Your licence key is on your screen as soon as the payment confirms.
Pay by card through Square, on Square’s own checkout page — we never see or store your card number. Or pay with bitcoin through our own bitcoin server. Either way you come back here, type your business name, and your licence key is on the screen — no email, no waiting on us.
Questions
If you sell or share personal data about people you have no direct relationship with - an affiliate network's traffic data, a purchased list - very likely.
California's Delete Request and Opt-out Platform. From August 1, 2026 it sends brokers consumers' deletion requests, to be pulled at least every 45 days.
$200 for each day. Clearwater works it out.
No. It is the dates and the record.
The demo on this page is the whole program, running on invented records. Paying gets you a licence key — one line of text, on your screen as soon as the payment confirms: the checkout brings you back to our thank-you page, you type your business name and the key appears. Paste it into the program and from then on it keeps your own records. Until then, nothing you type into it is kept.
The key is checked inside the page, on your own machine. It never calls us, so there is still no account and nothing about your business goes anywhere. If you ever stop paying, your records stay exactly where they are, read-only, and Export still hands you every one of them.
