Compare Data Broker Registries
data_broker_diffCompares two files of the MORVS California Data Broker Register (a yearly CPPA registry, named by its year, or the Attorney General's 2020-2023 list) under the register's published method: a registration in the earlier file whose normalised legal name has no registration in the later file is an apparent leaver; if its website domain does have a later registration it is counted as re-registered at the same domain, with the later names, otherwise as not re-registered under either name or domain; a later registration whose name and domain are both absent earlier is net new. Returns the counts and the named registrations in each group, plus the register's own published figures for consecutive files. A registration absent from a later file is not an exit, a merger or a finding: registration is self-reported and California-only, and a business may have stopped brokering, merged, changed domain or simply not filed.
