Summary

Calm's Privacy Policy describes what personal data Calm collects, how it uses and shares that data, and what rights you have over it. Calm and its advertising partners use tracking technologies to collect data about your activity on Calm and other websites, and your data may be used to show you targeted ads on other platforms. You have the right to opt out of the sale of your personal data, targeted advertising, and sharing of your personal data, and Calm can update this policy at any time.

Analysis

This Privacy Policy establishes Calm's data collection, usage, sharing, and transfer practices, as well as user rights over personal data. Calm collects data through its own services and through third-party analytics and advertising partners using cookies, device identifiers, and related technologies, and uses that data to personalize experiences and serve targeted advertising on external platforms. Calm may share personal data in connection with corporate transactions such as mergers or acquisitions, with third-party subscription providers, and across international borders where Calm and its service providers operate in jurisdictions that may not offer equivalent data protection to a user's home country, with adequate-transfer mechanisms applied only where law requires them. Users are granted rights to opt out of sales, targeted advertising, and sharing of their personal data, and Calm imposes a categorical restriction on the knowing sale or sharing of personal data belonging to consumers under the age of 16. The policy is subject to unilateral revision at any time, with notice limited to an updated date at the top of the document.

What this means for you

As an individual user, your data—including inferred location, estimated age and gender, browsing behavior, and communications such as chat messages—is collected and used to personalize your experience and serve you ads on other platforms. If you subscribed through an employer or family member, Calm may disclose to that person or organization that you signed up. Your personal data may be processed in countries with weaker privacy protections than your own, and it can be transferred to another company if Calm is acquired or sells assets. You can exercise your right to opt out of the sale of your personal data, targeted advertising, and sharing of your personal data by contacting Calm directly.
