What it is

If you live in California, you have specific legal rights to see, delete, correct, and opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal data with Airbnb, and Airbnb cannot penalize you for exercising these rights.

This analysis describes what Airbnb's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

California's CPRA gives residents enforceable rights over their personal data that go beyond what users in most other US states have, including the right to limit how sensitive data like biometrics and geolocation is used.

Interpretive note: The exact verbatim text was not fully available in the truncated document; the provision reflects standard Airbnb Privacy Policy CPRA disclosures based on publicly available policy versions.

Change history

removed Jul 20, 2026

The removal of explicit CPRA rights from the main policy likely indicates relocation to the United States Privacy Supplement, potentially reducing visibility of California consumer rights in the primary policy document.

added May 27, 2026

Addition of California-specific privacy rights under CPRA demonstrates increased regulatory compliance transparency, particularly around the 'sale or sharing' and 'sensitive personal information' concepts unique to California law.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

This provision means California residents have actionable rights to request access to, correction of, and deletion of their personal information held by Airbnb, and can opt out of having their data shared with advertising partners, with these rights enforceable through the California Privacy Protection Agency.

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.
  • Delete Your Data
    Log into your Airbnb account and navigate to Privacy Settings to submit a data deletion, access, or opt-out request. California residents can also submit a 'Do Not Share My Personal Information' request through the same settings portal.
