I wrote to Flock's privacy contact to opt out of their domestic spying program

A California resident's CCPA data deletion request to Flock Safety (license plate recognition and surveillance company) was denied. Flock Safety claimed it operates as a data processor for its law enforcement and municipal customers, not a data controller, and that individuals must request deletion from the organizations that contracted Flock's services, not from Flock directly. The interaction illustrates gaps between CCPA deletion rights and the way surveillance data flows through contracted service providers.
