"We may share your personal information with third-party service providers that perform services on our behalf, such as payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, customer service, and marketing assistance. These third parties are only provided with access to personal information needed to perform these functions and are required to protect it in the same manner we do and are not permitted to use it for other purposes.— Excerpt from Cloudflare's Cloudflare Privacy Policy
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.
