California Delete Act, definition of data broker (Cal. Civ. Code 1798.99.80(c))
A company selling data about its own customers, people it has a direct relationship with, is not a California data broker for that data (the CCPA's rules on selling still apply). A buyer or reseller that collects and sells data about people it has no relationship with is one.
