Booking.com updated their Terms and Conditions on April 29, 2026 by removing the link and reference to 'Don't sell or share my personal information' from their footer navigation. Before the change, users had a clearly visible option in the document footer to opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information. That link is no longer present, which may reduce the visibility of this privacy control for users, particularly those in California who have rights under CCPA.
Booking.com removed the 'Don't sell or share my personal information' link from the footer of their Terms and Conditions page, making it harder for users — especially California residents — to find and exercise their opt-out rights under state privacy law. While the right itself may still exist elsewhere on the platform, reducing its visibility undermines practical access to the control. You can search for Booking.com's Privacy Notice directly and look for an opt-out mechanism or contact their customer service to exercise your CCPA opt-out right.
Booking.com removed the easy-to-find link that let you stop them from selling or sharing your personal information, making it harder to exercise this privacy right.
California residents have a legal right to opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information, and this link was a key mechanism for exercising that right. Its removal reduces the visibility and accessibility of a legally mandated privacy control.

Booking.com removed the 'Don't sell or share my personal information' opt-out link from its Terms of Service footer on April 29, 2026. This link is a standard CCPA compliance mechanism required to be 'clear and conspicuous' under Cal. Civ. Code §1798.135(a). Its removal from this page may not eliminate the right itself if the link exists elsewhere, but it reduces the conspicuousness of opt-out access required by California law. Compliance teams should verify whether the opt-out mechanism remains accessible per CCPA requirements and assess whether this constitutes a material reduction in required disclosures.
1. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) / CPRA — Cal. Civ. Code §1798.120 (right to opt-out of sale), §1798.135(a) (requirement to provide a clear and conspicuous 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' link on the homepage and in privacy policy), §1798.135(b) (methods for submitting opt-out requests must be easy to execute). Removal of this link from a prominent document page may violate conspicuousness requirements.
