"Boston Dynamics does not sell your personal information (and does not sell personal information of minors), and does not share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We treat your personal information with the utmost respect and do not sell or share it with third party organizations for their own marketing purposes.Excerpt from Boston Dynamics's Privacy Policy
1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision directly addresses CCPA requirements regarding the right to opt out of the sale of personal information, and COPPA obligations regarding children's data. The FTC enforces both COPPA and, alongside State AGs, CCPA-adjacent federal consumer protection standards. The explicit prohibition on selling minors' personal information engages CCPA provisions applicable to consumers under 16 requiring affirmative authorization before sale. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. This provision represents a commitment that narrows data monetization exposure rather than expanding it; however, compliance teams should verify that data sharing arrangements with marketing agencies and service providers referenced elsewhere in the policy do not constitute a 'sale' as defined under CCPA or applicable state law. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California residents benefit from this commitment as it aligns with CCPA opt-out rights. The statement regarding minors is relevant across US jurisdictions where COPPA applies and in EEA contexts under GDPR provisions on children's data. The definition of 'sale' under CCPA is broad and includes certain sharing arrangements; legal teams should confirm that data flows to marketing agencies described in the sharing section do not meet the statutory definition. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: This commitment should be reflected in data processing agreements with marketing agencies and other third-party service providers to ensure contractual alignment with the stated policy. Vendor contracts should include representations that shared data will not be used for the vendor's own marketing purposes. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should audit actual data flows to marketing agencies and advertising partners against this stated commitment to confirm operational alignment. Where Boston Dynamics uses targeted advertising or analytics platforms, a technical assessment of whether data passed to those platforms constitutes a 'sale' under applicable state law is warranted.
