Know what you hold
Find consumer personal information
The CCPA, as amended by the CPRA, gives California consumers the right to know, delete, and correct the personal information a business holds about them. You cannot honour those rights without a clear picture of where that information lives.
FileSentinel scans your Windows files for personal information, identifiers, contact details, financial data, and more, and scores findings so the data-rich files stand out. Everything runs on-device.
Consumer requests
How discovery supports each right
| Consumer right | How FileSentinel helps |
|---|---|
| Right to know | Locate the categories of personal information you hold in files |
| Right to delete | Find records so you can delete or redact them |
| Right to correct | Surface where a consumer’s data appears across files |
| Data inventory | Build a picture of personal information on your endpoints |
Local by design
No new vendor, no upload
Handling consumer data discovery through a cloud service adds another processor and another exposure. FileSentinel keeps the work on your own machine, with reports you can export as a record of what you found.
- On-device
- Exportable reports

FAQ
Does FileSentinel make my business CCPA compliant?
It supports discovery and remediation: finding personal information so you can respond to consumer requests and minimise what you keep. Full compliance also involves notices, processes, and policies.
Can it help respond to a deletion request?
Yes. Scan for a consumer’s identifiers to locate their personal information across your files, then delete or redact it.
Is the scan private?
Yes. FileSentinel scans entirely on-device with no uploads, so no new cloud processor handles the data.
Does it cover the CPRA changes too?
The discovery approach applies the same way: FileSentinel helps you locate personal information regardless of which California provision the request falls under.
