Sensitive Personal Information (SPI)

CPRA category of personal information subject to the right to limit its use and disclosure.

Definition

SPI includes government identifiers, account log-in credentials, financial account and card numbers with access codes, precise geolocation, racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, union membership, contents of mail, email, and texts not directed to the business, genetic data, biometric data for identification, health, sex life or sexual orientation, and citizenship or immigration status. Many other state laws require opt-in consent for sensitive data.

Example

Precise geolocation within a 1,850-foot radius is SPI under the CPRA.

Exam tip

US sensitive data definitions vary by state; most non-California laws require opt-in consent.
