What it is

The policy authorizes sharing of personal data with third-party vendors providing hosting, analytics, and advertising services, subject to contractual data protection obligations imposed on those vendors.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision permits disclosure of personal data collected through ADP's website and marketing channels to advertising and analytics third parties, which is operationally relevant for CCPA opt-out rights and GDPR consent or legitimate interests assessments for website visitor data.

Interpretive note: The precise list of named advertising and analytics vendors and whether the sharing meets the CPRA definition of 'sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising' requires review of the California supplement and the current sub-processor or vendor list, which are not fully reproduced in the document text provided.

ADP deleted the cookie preference management tool that previously allowed users to understand and control which cookies were placed on their devices, including functional, analytics, and advertising cookies. The removal eliminates the transparency mechanism through which users could consent to or opt out of different cookie categories. The practical effect depends on whether ADP has replaced this functionality elsewhere or whether cookies continue to be placed without equivalent granular user control.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this clause, personal data collected from website visitors and business contacts may be shared with advertising and analytics vendors; the policy's technical infrastructure as observed includes third-party tracking scripts from Google, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, and other advertising platforms, which may constitute data sharing or selling under applicable state privacy laws.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    Access the cookie consent management tool on ADP's website to adjust advertising and analytics tracking preferences. California residents should locate and use the 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' link in the California CCPA supplement linked from the privacy page.
