Overview
- Los Angeles Superior Court approved a settlement requiring Disney to pay $2.75 million, the largest CCPA penalty to date, and entered a permanent injunction.
- Disney must implement account‑wide, consumer‑friendly opt‑out methods that fully stop the sale or sharing of Californians’ personal information.
- The judgment orders Disney to cease selling or sharing data and to stop cross‑context behavioral advertising for consumers who opt out.
- State investigators found Disney’s prior tools were fragmented, including device‑ or service‑limited toggles, incomplete webform coverage, missing in‑app options, and Global Privacy Control signals applied only per device.
- The case stems from a January 2024 sweep of streaming services; it is the seventh CCPA enforcement under AG Rob Bonta, and other platforms remain under investigation, with Disney agreeing to changes without admitting liability.
