| 83 | Effective: July 1, 2026. Last Revised: May 26, 2026. | ||||
| 84 | Introduction | ||||
| 85 | At Reddit, we believe that privacy is a right. We want to empower our users to b | ||||
| > | e the | ||||
| 86 | masters of their identity. In this privacy policy, we want to help you understan | ||||
| > | d how and | ||||
| 87 | why Reddit (“Reddit,” “we” or “us”) collects, uses, and shares information about | ||||
| > | you when | ||||
| 88 | you use our websites, mobile apps, widgets, APIs, emails, and other online produ | ||||
| > | cts and | ||||
| 89 | services (collectively, the "Services") or when you otherwise interact with us o | ||||
| > | r receive a | ||||
| 90 | communication from us. | ||||
| 91 | We want this privacy policy to empower you to make better choices about how you | ||||
| > | use Reddit. | ||||
| 92 | We’d love for you to read the whole policy, but if you don’t, here is the TL;DR: | ||||
| 93 | Reddit is a public platform. | ||||
| 94 | Reddit is a public platform. Our communities are largely public and anyone can s | ||||
| > | ee your | ||||
| 95 | profile, posts, and comments. | ||||
| 96 | We collect minimal information about you. | ||||
| 97 | We collect minimal information that can be used to identify you by default. If y | ||||
| > | ou want to | ||||
| 98 | just browse, you don’t need an account. If you want to create an account to part | ||||
| > | icipate in a | ||||
| 99 | subreddit, we don’t require you to give us your real name. We don’t track your p | ||||
| > | recise | ||||
| 100 | location. You can even browse | ||||
| 101 | anonymously. You can share as much or as little about yourself as you want when | ||||
| > | using Reddit, though | ||||
| 102 | you may have different feature experiences if you choose to share less. | ||||
| 103 | We use personal data to make Reddit a better place. | ||||
| 104 | Any data we collect is used primarily to provide our Services, which are focused | ||||
| > | on allowing | ||||
| 105 | people to come together and form communities. We don’t sell your personal data t | ||||
| > | o third | ||||
| 106 | parties, including data brokers. | ||||
| 107 | All of our users get privacy rights - not just those in select countries. | ||||
| 108 | Privacy rights are for everyone. At Reddit, anyone can request a copy of their p | ||||
| > | ersonal | ||||
| 109 | data, account deletion, or information about our policies. | ||||
| 110 | If you have questions about how we use personal data, just ask. | ||||
| 111 | We’ve tried our best to make this as easy to understand as possible but sometime | ||||
| > | s privacy | ||||
| 112 | policies are still confusing. If you need help understanding this policy or anyt | ||||
| > | hing about | ||||
| 113 | Reddit, | ||||
| 114 | just ask. | ||||
| 115 | Reddit Is a Public Platform | ||||
| 116 | Much of the information on the Services is public and accessible to everyone, ev | ||||

| > | reshare that | ||||
| 120 | content, the username associated with that content, and the date and time you or | ||||
| > | iginally | ||||
| 121 | submitted that content. That content and information may also be available in se | ||||
| > | arch results | ||||

| > | like | ||||
| 123 | OpenAI’s ChatGPT as well as reshared by others without permission or where Reddi | ||||

| 124 | control. You should take the public nature of the Services into consideration be | ||||

| 141 | Reddit allows moderators to access Reddit content and information using moderato | ||||
| > | r bots and | ||||
| 142 | tools. Reddit also allows other third parties to access Reddit public content an | ||||
| > | d | ||||

| 153 | What Information We Collect | ||||
| 154 | Information You Provide to Us | ||||
| 155 | We collect information you provide to us directly when you use the Services. | ||||
| 156 | This includes: | ||||
| 157 | Account Information | ||||
| 158 | You don’t need an account to use Reddit. If you create a Reddit account, | ||||
| 159 | your account will have a username, which you provide or which is | ||||
| 160 | automatically generated. Your username is public, and it doesn’t have to | ||||
| 161 | be related to your real name. You may need to provide a password, | ||||
| 162 | depending on whether you register using an email address, Single Sign-On | ||||
| 163 | (SSO) feature (such as Apple or Google), or phone number. If your account | ||||
| 164 | does not have a password, we may send you a SMS message for verification | ||||
| 165 | purposes. We also ask you to select an interest, or multiple interests, | ||||
| 166 | during account creation (for example, history, nature, sports) to help | ||||
| 167 | generate content and community recommendations or select more relevant | ||||
| 168 | advertising for you. | ||||
| 169 | When you use Reddit, you may also provide other information, such as a | ||||
| 170 | bio, gender, birthday, location, language, profile picture, or social | ||||
| 171 | link. You can remove or revise this information at any time. | ||||
| 172 | We also store your user account preferences and settings. We may ask for | ||||
| 173 | such information prior to you creating a username or account to help | ||||
| 174 | improve your experience exploring Reddit. | ||||
| 175 | Public Content You Submit | ||||
| 176 | Public content you submit includes your public posts, comments, and chat | ||||
| 177 | messages, usernames, and some of your profile information, as well as | ||||
| 178 | related metadata. Public content you submit may also include text, links, | ||||
| 179 | images, gifs, audio, videos, software, and tools. Our | ||||
| 180 | Public Content Policy | ||||
| 181 | applies to this content. | ||||
| 182 | Non-Public Content You Submit | ||||
| 183 | Non-public content you submit includes your saved drafts of posts or | ||||
| 184 | comments, your non-public messages with other users (such as private | ||||
| 185 | messages, private chats, and modmail), and your reports and other | ||||
| 186 | communications with moderators and with us. Non-public content you submit | ||||
| 187 | may also include text, links, images, gifs, audio, videos, software, and | ||||
| 188 | tools. | ||||
| 189 | It also includes information you submit when you fill out a form or | ||||
| 190 | survey, provide feedback, participate in Reddit-sponsored activities, | ||||
| 191 | promotions, or programs, request customer support, or otherwise | ||||
| 192 | communicate with us. | ||||
| 193 | Actions You Take | ||||
| 194 | We collect information about the actions you take when using the Services. | ||||
| 195 | This includes your interactions with the platform and content, like | ||||
| 196 | voting, saving, hiding, and reporting. It also includes your interactions | ||||
| 197 | with other users, such as following and blocking. We collect your | ||||
| 198 | interactions with communities, like your subscriptions or moderator | ||||
| 199 | status. | ||||
| 200 | Transactional Information | ||||
| 201 | If you purchase products or services from us or otherwise through the | ||||
| 202 | Services, you will have to provide payment information in order to | ||||
| 203 | complete your purchase. Reddit uses industry-standard payment processor | ||||
| 204 | services (such as Stripe) to handle payment information, and those | ||||
| 205 | services are subject to separate terms and conditions and privacy | ||||
| 206 | policies. We will collect information about the product or service you are | ||||
| 207 | purchasing (for example, purchase dates, amounts paid or received, and | ||||
| 208 | expiration and renewal dates). | ||||
| 209 | We may also collect public blockchain data and addresses, such as when you | ||||
| 210 | purchase or create a Collectible Avatar, receive or mint an NFT, or create | ||||
| 211 | a Reddit Vault. However, we never store Reddit Vault private key | ||||
| 212 | information. | ||||

| 218 | browser type, operating system, referral URLs, device information (such as | ||||
| 219 | device IDs), device settings, and mobile carrier name. Except for the IP | ||||
| 220 | address used to create your account, Reddit will delete any IP addresses | ||||
| 221 | collected after 100 days. | ||||

| 224 | how you interact with content, ads, and communities, upvotes/downvotes, | ||||
| 225 | links clicked, the requested URL, and search terms. | ||||
| 226 | Information Collected From Cookies and Similar Technologies | ||||
| 227 | We may receive information from cookies, which are pieces of data your | ||||
| 228 | browser stores and sends back to us when making requests, and similar | ||||
| 229 | technologies. We use this information to deliver and maintain our | ||||
| 230 | Services, improve your experience, understand user activity, personalize | ||||
| 231 | content and advertisements, measure the effectiveness of advertising on | ||||
| 232 | and off Reddit, and improve the quality of our Services. For example, we | ||||
| 233 | store and retrieve information about your preferred language and other | ||||
| 234 | settings. See our | ||||
| 235 | Cookie Notice for | ||||
| 236 | more information about how Reddit uses cookies. For more information on | ||||
| 237 | how you can disable non-essential cookies, please see “Your Rights and Choices” | ||||
| > | below. | ||||
| 238 | Location Information | ||||
| 239 | We automatically collect information about your approximate location based | ||||
| 240 | on our Logs Data. We may also receive location information from you when | ||||
| 241 | you choose to share such information on our Services, including via the | ||||
| 242 | Location Customization setting or by associating your content with a | ||||
| 243 | location. | ||||
| 244 | Public Information Related to You | ||||
| 245 | Information that we collect about you based on your interactions on our | ||||
| 246 | Services will appear on your public profile. This includes your karma | ||||
| 247 | scores, trophies and achievement badges, moderator, contributor, and | ||||
| 248 | Reddit Premium status, communities you are active in, and how long you | ||||
| 249 | have been a member of the Services (your cake day), as well as related | ||||
| 250 | metadata. Our | ||||
| 251 | Public Content Policy | ||||
| 252 | applies to this content. | ||||
| 253 | Inferred Information | ||||
| 254 | We infer attributes such as age range, gender, and/or preferred | ||||
| 255 | language(s) based on the information we have about you. | ||||
| 256 | Information Collected from Other Sources | ||||
| 257 | We may receive information about you from other sources, including from | ||||
| 258 | other users and third parties, and combine that information with the other | ||||
| 259 | information we have about you. For example, we may receive demographic or | ||||
| 260 | interest information about you from third parties, including advertisers | ||||
| 261 | (such as the fact that an advertiser is interested in showing you an ad), | ||||
| 262 | and combine it with data you have provided to Reddit, using a common account | ||||
| 263 | identifier such as a hash of an email address or a mobile-device ID. You can | ||||
| 264 | control how we use this information to personalize advertisements for you by | ||||
| 265 | visiting the User Settings menu in your account, as described in the section | ||||
| 266 | titled “Your Rights and Choices” below. | ||||
| 267 | Linked Services | ||||
| 268 | If you authorize or link a third-party service, such as an unofficial | ||||
| 269 | mobile app client, to access your Reddit account, Reddit receives | ||||
| 270 | information about your use of that service when it uses that | ||||
| 271 | authorization. Linking services may also cause the other service to send | ||||
| 272 | us information about your account with that service. For example, if you | ||||
| 273 | sign in to Reddit with a third-party identity provider, that provider may | ||||
| 274 | share an email address with us. To learn how information is shared with | ||||
| 275 | linked services, see “How We Share Your Information” below. | ||||
| 276 | Information Collected From Integrations | ||||
| 277 | We also may receive information about you, including log and usage data | ||||
| 278 | and cookie information, from third-party sites that integrate our | ||||
| 279 | Services, including our embeds and advertising technology or app store | ||||
| 280 | APIs. For example, when you visit a site that uses | ||||
| 281 | Reddit Embeds, we may receive information about the web page you visited. Simila | ||||
| > | rly, | ||||
| 282 | if an advertiser incorporates Reddit’s ad technology, Reddit may receive | ||||
| 283 | limited information about your activity on the advertiser’s site or app, | ||||
| 284 | such as whether you bought something from the advertiser. You can control | ||||
| 285 | how we use this information to personalize the Services and ads on and off | ||||
| 286 | Reddit for you as described in “Your Rights and Choices” below. If you use the i | ||||
| > | OS or Android Reddit app, we may also receive | ||||
| 287 | information about you from app store APIs, such as where you have elected | ||||
| 288 | to share your age range information associated with your Apple or Google | ||||
| 289 | accounts. | ||||
| 290 | Information Collected if you Use Certain Reddit Offerings | ||||
| 291 | Reddit Ads Users | ||||
| 292 | If you use Reddit Ads (Reddit’s self-serve ads platform at ads.reddit.com) | ||||
| 293 | on behalf of your business or organization, we collect some additional | ||||
| 294 | information. To sign up for Reddit Ads, you must provide your name, email | ||||
| 295 | address, and information about your company. Reddit may make information | ||||
| 296 | about your company public to comply with applicable law. If you purchase | ||||
| 297 | advertising services, you will need to provide transactional information | ||||
| 298 | as described above in “Information We Collect - Transactional | ||||
| 299 | Information,” and we may also require additional documentation to verify | ||||
| 300 | your identity. When using Reddit Ads, we may record a session replay of | ||||
| 301 | your visit for customer service, troubleshooting, and usability research | ||||
| 302 | purposes. | ||||
| 303 | Reddit Pro Users | ||||
| 304 | If you sign up for Reddit Pro, on behalf of yourself, your business or | ||||
| 305 | your organization, we may collect some additional information from you, | ||||
| 306 | including your profile type, name, industry category, website, and | ||||
| 307 | organization size, if applicable. If you request certain limited Reddit | ||||
| 308 | Pro features, we may request additional documentation to verify your | ||||
| 309 | identity. | ||||
| 310 | Reddit Program Participants and Potential Participants | ||||
| 311 | If you sign up to participate in a Reddit Program (for example, our | ||||
| 312 | Contributor Program), we collect, directly or indirectly through our | ||||
| 313 | providers, some additional information from you (such as your name, date | ||||
| 314 | of birth, address, email, tax, government ID, and payment information). | ||||
| 315 | This additional information is used and shared with our third-party | ||||
| 316 | payment and compliance providers to determine your eligibility to | ||||
| 317 | participate in the applicable Reddit Program, facilitate payments, and | ||||
| 318 | comply with law. Those providers and their services are subject to | ||||
| 319 | separate terms and conditions and privacy policies. | ||||
| 320 | Information Collected by Third Parties | ||||
| 321 | Embedded Content | ||||
| 322 | Reddit displays some linked content in-line on the Services via embeds. | ||||
| 323 | For example, Reddit posts that link to YouTube or X may load the linked | ||||
| 324 | video or tweet within Reddit directly from those services to your device | ||||
| 325 | so you don’t have to leave Reddit to see it. In general, Reddit does not | ||||
| 326 | control how third-party services collect personal data when they serve you | ||||
| 327 | their content directly via these embeds. As a result, embedded content is | ||||
| 328 | not covered by this privacy policy but by the policies of the service from | ||||
| 329 | which the content is embedded. | ||||
| 330 | Audience Measurement | ||||
| 331 | We partner with service providers that perform audience measurement to | ||||
| 332 | learn demographic information about the population that uses Reddit. To | ||||
| 333 | provide this demographic information, these companies collect cookie | ||||
| 334 | information to recognize your device. | ||||
| 335 | How We Use Your Information | ||||
| 336 | We use information about you to: | ||||
| 337 | Provide, maintain, and improve the Services; | ||||
| 338 | Provide you personalized, age-appropriate services, content, and features; | ||||
| 339 | Provide you with relevant advertising, including personalized advertising on and | ||||

| 340 | Reddit; | ||||
| 341 | Optimize and measure the effectiveness of ads shown on our Services; | ||||
| 342 | Advertise Reddit Services to you on other sites and apps, including measuring th | ||||

| 345 | spammers, addressing abuse, age restricting certain content and enforcing our ri | ||||

| 356 | Monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with our Service | ||||

| 357 | How We Share Your Information | ||||
| 358 | In addition to the ways that public content is shared as described above in “Red | ||||

| 450 | Controlling Personalized Advertising | ||||
| 451 | You may opt out of us using information we collect from third parties, | ||||
| 452 | including advertising partners, to personalize the ads you see on and off | ||||
| 453 | Reddit. To do so, visit the Privacy section of the User Settings in your | ||||
| 454 | account here, if | ||||
| 455 | using desktop, and in your Account Settings if using the Reddit mobile | ||||
| 456 | app. | ||||
| 457 | Controlling the Use of Cookies | ||||
| 458 | Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you | ||||
| 459 | can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject first- and | ||||
| 460 | third-party cookies. In some jurisdictions, you may update your cookie | ||||
| 461 | preferences at any time by visiting your Account Settings. Users without | ||||
| 462 | an account may update by visiting “Cookie Preferences” at the top right | ||||
| 463 | corner of reddit.com. Please note that if | ||||
| 464 | you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect the availability | ||||
| 465 | and functionality of our Services. For more information on controlling how | ||||
| 466 | cookies and similar technologies are used on Reddit, see our | ||||
| 467 | Cookie Notice. | ||||
| 468 | Controlling Advertising and Analytics | ||||
| 469 | Some analytics providers we partner with may provide specific opt-out | ||||
| 470 | mechanisms and we may provide, as needed and as available, additional | ||||
| 471 | tools and third-party services that allow you to better understand | ||||
| 472 | tracking technologies and how you can opt out. For example, you may manage | ||||
| 473 | the use and collection of certain information by | ||||
| 474 | Google Analytics | ||||
| 475 | via the | ||||
| 476 | Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. You can opt out of the Audience Measure | ||||

| 477 | Nielsen | ||||
| 478 | and Quantcast. In some | ||||
| 479 | jurisdictions, if you have an account with us and you visit our site with | ||||
| 480 | an opt-out preference signal (such as Global Privacy Control) enabled, we | ||||
| 481 | will treat that as an opt-out request. | ||||
| 482 | You may also generally opt out of receiving personalized advertisements | ||||
| 483 | from certain third-party advertisers and ad networks. To learn more about | ||||
| 484 | these advertisements or to opt out, please visit the sites of the | ||||

| 489 | Do Not Track | ||||
| 490 | Most modern web browsers give you the option to send a Do Not Track signal | ||||
| 491 | to the sites you visit, indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. | ||||
| 492 | However, there is no accepted standard for how a site should respond to | ||||
| 493 | this signal, and we do not take any action in response to this signal. | ||||
| 494 | Instead, in addition to publicly available third-party tools, we offer you | ||||
| 495 | the choices described in this policy to manage the collection and use of | ||||
| 496 | information about you. | ||||
| 497 | Controlling Promotional Communications | ||||
| 498 | You may opt out of receiving some or all categories of promotional | ||||
| 499 | communications from us by following the instructions in those | ||||
| 500 | communications or by updating your email options in your account | ||||
| 501 | preferences here. If you opt | ||||
| 502 | out of promotional communications, we may still send you non-promotional | ||||
| 503 | communications, such as information about your account or your use of the | ||||
| 504 | Services. | ||||
| 505 | Controlling Mobile Notifications | ||||
| 506 | With your consent, we may send promotional and non-promotional push | ||||
