A: If you're asking for only the name and address of a person affiliated with a non-party in a deposition subpoena, it may still trigger privacy concerns. California law protects personal information, even basic details like names and addresses, so serving the Notice to Consumer or Employee (SUBP-025) might be required, depending on the situation.

The purpose of SUBP-025 is to notify individuals that their personal information is being sought and to give them an opportunity to object. If the information being requested involves someone’s private details, even if it's just their name and address, the privacy notice may be necessary to ensure legal compliance.

It's important to be cautious when dealing with personal information. If there's any doubt about whether SUBP-025 is needed, it’s always better to err on the side of caution and serve the notice.
