# California, United States

A principal declaring `subject_to: ["US-CA"]` states that they are subject to the law of the State of California — typically by residence, incorporation, or substantial operation there. California law is notable in this registry's context for its consumer-privacy regime (CCPA/CPRA).

ISO 3166-2 code: `US-CA`. This subdivision code composes with the federal code `US`; a California-resident principal typically declares both.

Jurisdiction declarations are good-faith disclosure, not warranty, and nothing in this entry is legal advice (IFP-21, Section 4).
