CCPA and CPRA personal information discovery
California’s privacy laws give consumers rights over their personal information. Answering those requests starts with finding the data, and FileSentinel finds it locally on Windows.
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.

Questions & answers
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.
