Notice at collection
Short notice given at or before the point of collection under Civil Code § 1798.100(a). It states categories, purposes, whether the information is sold or shared, and retention. A link to the privacy policy does not replace those items.

When to use it
Use at a form, an account page, or another point where a business collects personal information from a consumer. Use the on-premises paragraph only for collection on premises, including in a vehicle. Do not use it as the full privacy policy.
Used for these tasks
- Draft or review a privacy policy and collection notice
- Update collection notices for AI chatbots
- List the personal information a client-intake chatbot would collect and check it against the Privacy Act 1988
Each task page says how far AI may help with the task and what the lawyer must review.
How AI may be used
AI may fill the categories and purposes from the collection point the lawyer has described. The lawyer checks that each item in section 1798.100(a) is actually in the notice before it is shown to consumers.
AI may
- Fill categories, purposes and retention from the lawyer's collection map for this page or form
- List fields the form collects that are missing from the notice
- Keep a separate version for sensitive personal information when the map shows it is collected
AI must not
- Must not replace the notice with a link to the privacy policy
- Must not state that information is not sold or shared unless the lawyer has said so
- Must not add the on-premises wording to a website collection, or the reverse
The lawyer checks
- The notice is given at or before collection and contains categories, purposes, sale or sharing, and retention or criteria
- Sensitive personal information has its own categories, purposes and sale or sharing statement if it is collected
- A third party controlling collection uses the homepage path or the on-premises path only as section 1798.100(b) states them
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
