California's privacy laws require you to display — and retain evidence of displaying — specific privacy notices, Do Not Sell links, and consumer rights disclosures. VaultShot captures them automatically.

CCPA/CPRA requires a visible 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' link on your website
Privacy policies must disclose specific categories of data collected — and be updated at least annually
The California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) can audit your website for compliance at any time
Enforcement includes fines of $2,500 per violation and $7,500 per intentional violation
The CCPA and CPRA require businesses to display specific privacy disclosures on their websites and update them at least annually. The newly empowered California Privacy Protection Agency conducts sweeps and audits of website compliance. VaultShot's automated captures prove you had the required notices displayed continuously — not just at the time of an audit.
$7,500
CCPA fine per intentional violation
California's privacy enforcement has teeth — and the California Privacy Protection Agency is proving it. Since CPRA took effect, the CPPA has launched investigation sweeps targeting specific website requirements: the 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' link, the 'Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information' link, and updated privacy policy disclosures. These sweeps don't just check whether the links exist today; enforcement letters request evidence that the required links were displayed continuously since the CPRA's effective date. A single day without the required link can constitute a violation at $2,500 per affected consumer. VaultShot captures your California-facing pages daily, creating SHA-256 verified proof that the required links were always present.
The CCPA's private right of action for data breaches (Cal. Civ. Code §1798.150) adds a litigation dimension that most businesses overlook in the website compliance context. Plaintiffs' attorneys in data breach class actions routinely examine what the defendant's website promised about data security at the time of the breach. If your privacy policy claimed 'industry-leading security measures' and the breach revealed otherwise, that discrepancy becomes Exhibit A in the complaint. Website archives with cryptographic timestamps aren't just a regulatory requirement — they're litigation defense. VaultShot's SHA-256 hashed captures create a contemporaneous record that your legal team can use to prove exactly what representations were made and when.
CCPA and CPRA compliance isn't a one-time checkbox — it's an ongoing obligation that changes with your data practices and California's evolving regulations. The CPPA's rulemaking process has already produced new requirements for automated decision-making disclosures, risk assessments, and cybersecurity audits, each of which may require corresponding website updates. Every time your privacy team updates your website to comply with new CPPA regulations, the old version becomes a historical record that must be retained. VaultShot handles this automatically: when your privacy team publishes an update, the next scheduled capture picks up the new version while the old version remains in your archive with its original SHA-256 hash intact. No version is ever overwritten or lost.
Every feature is designed to produce evidence that regulators accept.
Every screenshot is cryptographically hashed at capture time. Any modification — even a single pixel — produces a different hash, proving the file is original.
Screenshots are stored on AWS S3 with WORM-grade immutability. Files cannot be deleted or overwritten — meeting FINRA 17a-4 and SEC requirements.
Set it and forget it. VaultShot captures your website on your schedule — hourly, daily, or weekly — ensuring no gaps in your compliance timeline.
Each capture generates a professional PDF with hash, timestamp, metadata, and screenshot preview — ready to hand directly to auditors or regulators.
Anyone can verify a screenshot's authenticity by uploading it or pasting its hash. Provides instant, independent proof that the file is untampered.
VaultShot automatically detects and dismisses cookie consent banners before capture — ensuring clean, unobstructed screenshots every time.
Same SHA-256 hashing standard. Fraction of the cost.
