"If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose about you. You have the right to request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions. You also have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, and the right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights.— Excerpt from Discord's Discord Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision implicates CCPA and CPRA, enforced by the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) and the California Attorney General. CPRA's definition of sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising is relevant given Discord's advertising data flows. The FTC may also have concurrent jurisdiction over related deceptive or unfair practices. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The opt-out right for sharing of personal information for targeted advertising is operationally significant given the policy's disclosure of advertising partner data sharing. Compliance teams should verify that opt-out mechanisms are accessible, functional, and honored within CPRA's prescribed timelines. JURISDICTION FLAGS: Applies specifically to California residents. Organizations with significant California user bases should ensure CPRA compliance programs address Discord as a service provider or third party depending on the nature of their relationship. The CPPA has active rulemaking and enforcement authority. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Businesses using Discord that have California employees or customers should assess whether their use of Discord involves personal information subject to CCPA service provider agreements. Discord's role as a service provider or third party under CCPA/CPRA depends on the nature of the business relationship and data use. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should confirm that the opt-out mechanism for targeted advertising data sharing is functioning and that requests are honored within the 15-business-day response period required by CPRA. Records of opt-out requests should be maintained per CPRA recordkeeping requirements.
