🔒 CCPA Check — Free Compliance Check (Cloud-Scored)

Overview

CCPA Check is a free compliance self-check for businesses subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the CPRA amendment. It covers 12 core checks across applicability, consumer rights, opt-out, service providers, records, and security. Scoring runs on the CQDev cloud compliance engine.

How it works (free + cloud)

⚠️ Your answers leave this machine. When you run a scored check, your responses to the 12 compliance questions are transmitted to the CQDev cloud at compliancehub.cn for scoring. Those answers can cover sensitive details — consumer-data practices, service providers, security controls, and legal exposure. Only proceed if you are comfortable sending them to compliancehub.cn. Run --non-interactive for a fully offline preview that never contacts the cloud.

• The skill is free to install.
• Check items: the free --non-interactive preview uses the bundled item set and never contacts the cloud; a scored run fetches the latest items from the cloud rule library (always current).
• Scoring + quota are computed in the cloud; you get a professional report locally.
• Scoring: no Key? The anonymous trial (5 real cloud-scored runs) runs automatically. Register for a free API Key (100 calls) to keep going.

Usage

Free preview (no Key)

python3 scripts/ccpa-check.py --non-interactive

Anonymous trial (no Key)

Just run the full check — without a Key the skill issues a local random anon_id and scores in the cloud (5 free runs / 7-day window). When the trial runs out it prints the one-click registration page, carrying your anon_id so the trial progress carries over after registering.

Get a free API Key

1. Open https://compliancehub.cn/account.html?skill=ccpa-check in your browser and register (the Key is shown instantly after registration).
2. Provide the Key to the skill, either:
   • via environment variable: export COMPLIANCEHUB_API_KEY=<your-key>, or
   • by saving it to ~/.config/compliancehub/ccpa-check.key (mode 0600). Then run the check below; no terminal login is needed.

Full check + report

python3 scripts/ccpa-check.py --format html -o ccpa-report.html

Answer 12 yes/no questions; the cloud scores and returns an HTML report.

Agent guide

When a user asks for a CCPA/CPRA compliance check:

1. Run --non-interactive to preview the 12 items (no Key needed).
2. Run the full check. Without a Key it automatically uses the anonymous trial (5 real cloud-scored runs) — the user gets the complete report immediately. When the trial runs out the skill prints the one-click registration page (with the trial's anon_id), and after registering the same run continues under their free API Key (100 calls).

Security & data handling

• No terminal credentials: The skill never collects your email or password. Registration and Key issuance happen on the website (compliancehub.cn/account.html); the skill only consumes the resulting API Key. This removes any credential-handling path from the CLI.
• Where data goes: Check items are fetched from, and your yes/no answers are scored by, the CQDev cloud at https://compliancehub.cn (the operator's official endpoint, pinned in code and not overridable by environment variable). Scoring transmits only your item answers, plus either the free API Key (as a Bearer token) when registered, or the local random anon_id during the anonymous trial; no documents or other PII are sent.
• Anonymous trial id: A local random anon_id (~/.config/compliancehub/ccpa-check.anon_id, 0600, carries no personal data) persists only to continue the anonymous trial; your answers are never stored locally.
• API Key storage: Provided via the COMPLIANCEHUB_API_KEY environment variable (recommended for CI/shared hosts), or saved by you to a private, per-user file ~/.config/compliancehub/ccpa-check.key with 0600 permissions — outside this skill folder, so it is never committed to source control or shared with the workspace.
• No shell execution: This skill runs as a Python 3 subprocess using only the standard library (urllib, json, ssl, getpass). It does not spawn a shell, does not run arbitrary OS commands, and does not execute external binaries.
• Not a rogue/autonomous agent: Writing the Key to ~/.config/compliancehub/ is ordinary API-key persistence for your convenience — not agent installation, not auto-start, and not self-modification. The skill does nothing unless you invoke it from the terminal.
• Preview without cloud: --non-interactive lists the 12 items and never contacts the cloud.
• Always confirm the destination is compliancehub.cn before running a scored check.
