ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

User information may be transmitted to third-party advertising platforms, though Discord qualifies the scope of that sharing as limited.

Interpretive note: The clause does not define what constitutes 'limited information', leaving meaningful ambiguity about the actual scope of data shared with advertising platforms.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Some of a user's information may be shared with advertising platforms, constrained to what Discord characterizes as limited, for audience targeting and ad measurement purposes.
