This establishes a categorical restriction on the monetization and sharing of personal data for a protected age group, subject to the qualifier that Calm must knowingly be doing so.
Interpretive note: The qualifier 'knowingly' limits the scope of the commitment; it does not constitute an absolute guarantee against such sharing if age is unknown to Calm.
The updated policy now permits Calm to infer health-related characteristics from information users voluntarily provide about their feelings, though such inferred data will only be processed for the stated purpose. For minors, the policy explicitly prohibits targeted advertising and data sales, and applies age-appropriate data minimization practices. For residents of 20+ U.S. states with privacy laws, the policy adds detailed disclosures of privacy rights, including the ability to opt out of targeted advertising and data sales (scope varies by state), designate agents to exercise rights on their behalf (Colorado, Connecticut, Minnesota), and request lists of third parties receiving personal data (Minnesota). You can exercise these rights by contacting Calm through the methods specified in the policy or following state-specific instructions provided.
