What it is

Databricks passes your personal data to advertising networks and analytics companies, which may use it to show you targeted ads. Under California law, this counts as 'selling' your data and you have the right to say no.

This analysis describes what Databricks's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The provision establishes the operational scope of personal data sharing within the service delivery model and identifies the categories of recipients who receive access to user personal information. The clause also acknowledges the regulatory classification of these data practices under California privacy statutes, which creates corresponding consumer rights and opt-out mechanisms.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Your browsing behavior, device identifiers, and other personal data collected on the Databricks website may be shared with advertising networks for targeted advertising purposes, which California law treats as a 'sale' — you have the right to opt out by submitting a request through the Databricks privacy portal.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    Visit the Databricks OneTrust privacy portal, select 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' or the applicable opt-out option, provide your email address and submit the form. Databricks must respond within 15 business days under CPRA.

We may share your personal information with third-party advertising networks, social networks, and analytics providers to serve interest-based advertisements and analyze website performance. This may constitute a 'sale' or 'sharing' of personal information under certain state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).
