No.

The CCPA states that a business “may offer financial incentives” to a consumer for the “collection of personal information,” the “sale of personal information,” or the “deletion of personal information.”[1]  The CCPA does not state, however, that a business “must” offer consumers a financial incentive prior to information collection.
