This page explains your rights regarding the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information and how to exercise them.
Understanding "Sale" and "Sharing" Under California Law
Important Definition
Under CCPA/CPRA, "sale" has a broader definition than you might expect. It includes sharing personal information with third parties for valuable consideration, even if no money changes hands.
What Constitutes a "Sale" or "Sharing"?
Under the CCPA/CPRA, these terms are defined as:
- "Sale": Sharing personal information with third parties for monetary or other valuable consideration
- "Sharing": Sharing personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising (targeting ads based on your behavior across different websites)

Activities That Do NOT Constitute Sales:
