## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Privacy, Data Protection & Cyber](https://ailawframework.com/practice/privacy-data-protection-and-cyber.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | List which of the section 1798.100(a) items the current notice does not state: categories, purposes, sale or sharing, sensitive-information categories, and retention. Write no replacement notice and no chatbot label. |
| What the lawyer must review | Section 1798.100(a) requires the notice at or before collection. A chatbot that collects personal information does not change that duty, and no opened statute adds a separate chatbot label. Subsection (c) still requires collection and use to be reasonably necessary and proportionate to the disclosed purpose. You decide whether the current notice is enough and you write any replacement. Opinion 512 and Model Rule 1.6: prompts can contain personal information. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: List which of the section 1798.100(a) items the current notice does not state: categories, purposes, sale or sharing, sensitive-information categories, and retention. Write no replacement notice and no chatbot label.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Do not treat a chatbot transcript as the notice.
- Employee and business-to-business coverage is a separate question. Open the current exemption text before you exclude those collections.
