I love the idea. A few thoughts though:

- This needs teeth and they should inform you of what to do if you find out they ignored the request and what penalties they will receive. Tell people they can aid in the enforcement and I bet they will.

- I understand why the residency requirement is there but it just bums me out.

- The language is wrong. People are people, not 'consumers': "...In addition, the consumer must first have their residency verified as described in the Use of DROP section above..."

"consumer" is the language in the CCPA (which had its origins in a ballot initiative); most general privacy laws in the states are designed as consumer protection laws rather than civil rights like in the EU.
