Short answer
California's privacy laws regulate the sale and sharing of personal information and give consumers rights to opt out. De-identified data that meets the legal standard is treated differently. US businesses with California customers or employees should confirm whether their dataset contains personal information before licensing. Other states have similar laws, so check with counsel.
Key point#
"Sale" is defined broadly; removal of identifying details and contracts matter.
