§ 77843 Handler Data Confidentiality Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •Private business info given to the commission is kept secret.
  • •Only a court can make them share it, and only in special cases.
  • •They can share general numbers (like total sales) but not details about one company.

Example

A farmer tells the commission how many oranges they sold this year.

The commission can’t tell anyone else the farmer’s exact numbers. But they can say, ‘All farmers sold 1 million oranges total this year.’
