California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced a $2.75 million settlement with The Walt Disney Company, the largest CCPA settlement in state history, resolving allegations that Disney violated the CCPA by failing to fully honor consumers’ opt-out requests for the sale or sharing of their personal data across all devices and streaming services linked to their accounts.
