WBD US State Privacy Supplement

Sharing & Disclosure · User right or choice

Right to opt out of the sale of personal information

You can tell WBD not to sell your personal information, according to applicable law. The supplement separately states that WBD does not sell the personal information of individuals it knows to be children as defined by applicable law, so a sale opt-out is inapplicable to that known-children practice as described here.

Sharing & Disclosure · User right or choice

California residents' right to opt out of sale or sharing for targeted advertising

If you are a California resident, you can tell WBD not to "sell" or "share" (as defined under California law per the supplement) your personal information for the specific purpose of targeted advertising. Opting out does not stop other processing: even if you opt out of "sales" and "sharing" (the source wording, which contains an "opt of" typographical variant, is quoted exactly and not silently corrected), WBD will continue to collect, use, and disclose data for other purposes, including providing and personalizing its service, products, and experiences; operating and improving its business; and other business purposes permitted by law and disclosed in its Privacy Policy. WBD also states it does not sell your personal information in exchange for money. The supplement says the right is exercised by taking all of the following steps (websites step here; further steps continue in the next blocks).

Both apply to "sales" and "sharing" using personal information from this service and this browser by cookies and similar technologies. If you opt out via the link and then clear your cache, or use another browser, service, or device, you will need to opt out again. With GPC enabled, the opt-out applies across services on the particular browser(s) and device(s) for which GPC is enabled.
