ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes Amplitude's participation in targeted advertising data sharing ecosystems and creates an opt-out obligation under CCPA/CPRA for California residents. Under CPRA, sharing personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising constitutes a regulated activity even where no monetary consideration is exchanged.

Interpretive note: The specific third-party advertising partners and the scope of data shared are not enumerated in the document, which creates some uncertainty about the full scope of data flows covered by this provision.
