Most companies still treat CCPA like a “Do Not Sell” pop-up.

Azure regions aren’t interchangeable.
Your data residency, lawful access risk, and regulatory exposure shift the moment you choose a region.

Brazil does require an “encarregado” (DPO), but the ANPD allows flexibility for small businesses with low-risk data processing.
