CCPA requires that businesses disclose the categories of third parties with whom the business shares personal information. The CCPA regulations state:
“Categories of third parties” means types or groupings of third parties with whom the business shares personal information, described with enough particularity to provide consumers with a meaningful understanding of the type of third party. They may include advertising networks, internet service providers, data analytics providers, government entities, operating systems and platforms, social networks, and data brokers.
