Overview

The area known as Ahwatukee Foothills lies within the City of Phoenix. The City of Phoenix maintains a privacy program and public records process that govern municipal data handling and disclosure.

Municipal systems based in Arizona generally fall under local and state public-records rules, but they may also face CCPA obligations when providing services or processing data of California residents.California Attorney General - CCPA[3]
