Ro revised its privacy policy to clarify how it handles advertising partner data and added new protections for certain state residents. The policy now explicitly describes settings that restrict how advertising partners can use personal information, requiring them to act as service providers rather than using data for their own purposes in covered states. The policy also expanded the list of states with appeal rights for denied information requests and clarified opt-out procedures for targeted advertising.

Consumers in covered states: Advertising partners can only use your information to deliver Ro's ads and measure performance, not to build profiles about you or personalize ads for other companies.
Consumers in expanded list of states: If Ro denies your request for your personal information, you now have the right to appeal that denial in more states than before.

The updated policy establishes contractual restrictions on how advertising partners can use personal information in certain states, limiting their ability to build profiles or personalize advertising for other businesses. Ro has enabled settings with advertising partners that require them to act as service providers or processors for residents of covered states, meaning those partners may only use the information to deliver Ro's advertising and measure its performance. The policy also expands the states where residents have the right to appeal if Ro denies their information requests, and clarifies that opt-out choices must be applied separately on each browser or device. You can opt out of targeted advertising through the 'Your Privacy Choices' page or by using the Global Privacy Control.
What you can do
→ Review your state of residence to determine if advertising partner restrictions apply to you
→ Use the 'Your Privacy Choices' page or Global Privacy Control to opt out of targeted advertising if desired

Previous text The updated policy establishes that Ro has enabled contractual settings with certain advertising partners that restrict those partners' use of data to service provision only, meaning those partners may not use the information for their own advertising or profiling purposes. The policy also expands the list of states where Ro does not sell sensitive personal information for tailored advertising, adding New Jersey, New Hampshire, Nebraska, Iowa, and Delaware. For residents of the newly added states and others covered by partner settings, default restrictions on data use may apply even without an explicit opt-out. You can manage advertising preferences through the policy's stated opt-out mechanisms, including the 'Your Privacy Choices' page and Global Privacy Control signals.
