Original Request Description

I need a source-backed summary of the new consumer privacy rule and what it changes for a small independent newsletter operation that collects email addresses, zip codes, reading preferences, and occasional donation history. Please keep it direct and practical. I am not looking for legal theory; I want to know what the rule is, who it covers, when it takes effect, what data it treats as sensitive or restricted, and what a normal small publisher should change in its signup flow, privacy notice, data retention, and vendor setup.

Please use primary sources where possible, especially the official rule text, regulator guidance, and any implementation FAQ or enforcement page. If there is ambiguity, say so plainly instead of guessing. Include a short timeline, a bullet list of the main obligations, a table of the consumer rights or opt-outs involved, and a short section titled "What I should do this month" with 5 concrete steps. I also want a brief note on whether the rule affects email marketing, analytics, or donation processing, and whether there are any exceptions for small operators. Please end with a source list that names each source and why it matters.
