What it is

Craigslist explicitly promises it will never sell your personal information or share it with companies for advertising or marketing.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Your personal data — including name, email, phone number, and location — will not be sold or shared with marketers, which significantly reduces the risk of receiving targeted advertising based on your Craigslist activity.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision directly implicates CCPA §1798.100 and the 'sale' definition under Cal. Civ. Code §1798.140(t), enforced by the CPPA and California AG. FTC Act Section 5 applies as a baseline against deceptive statements about data practices. If Craigslist were to contradict this commitment, it would create FTC and CPPA enforcement exposure. (2)
