Cloudflare shares your personal information with third-party companies that help run its business — including payment processors, marketing firms, and analytics providers — though it says those companies are required to protect your data and not use it for their own purposes.
Your personal data is shared with an unspecified number of third-party vendors for purposes including marketing and data analysis, creating additional exposure points beyond Cloudflare itself, with no mechanism for you to see or approve those vendors.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Third-party sharing implicates GDPR Art. 28 (processor agreements), Art. 13(1)(e) (transparency about recipients), and Art. 26 (joint controllers where applicable). Under CCPA, disclosure of service provider categories is required under §1798.110(c)(4), and service provider agreements must include the contractual restrictions in §1798.140(ag). FTC Act Section 5 applies to any deceptive representations about the scope or nature of third-party sharing.
