Disney may collect your precise GPS location from your device when you agree to it, as well as your approximate location from your IP address and information you provide.
This analysis describes what Disney+'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
Precise GPS-level location data is a sensitive data category under multiple privacy laws and can reveal sensitive information about where you live, work, or spend time; knowing when and how to grant or revoke location access matters.
If you have granted location access to any Disney app, your precise GPS coordinates may be collected and used for personalization, advertising, or park experiences; you can revoke this permission in your device settings at any time.

"Location Information. We collect information about your location. For example, we collect your location information (i) from your device (such as GPS signal, information about nearby Wi-Fi access points and cell towers) when you agree to the collection of your precise location through any of our Services, (ii) from the Internet Protocol address of the device you are using, and (iii) when you or others provide your location to us.— Excerpt from Disney+'s Disney Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Precise geolocation is classified as sensitive personal information under CPRA, requiring specific disclosures and giving California residents the right to limit its use and disclosure. GDPR treats location data as personal data and, when precise, may engage heightened obligations depending on the processing purpose. The FTC has signaled that precise geolocation data warrants heightened scrutiny. Several state privacy laws (Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, and others) also classify precise geolocation as sensitive data requiring opt-in consent. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The policy discloses collection from GPS signals, Wi-Fi triangulation, and cell tower data when users consent through app settings. The sensitivity of this data category and its potential use for advertising creates compliance obligations under CPRA and multiple state laws that require purpose limitation and, in some states, opt-in consent. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California residents have the right to limit the use of precise geolocation under CPRA. Colorado's CPA and Connecticut's CTDPA require opt-in consent for processing precise geolocation data. EU/EEA users are protected by GDPR's purpose limitation and data minimization principles. The collection of location data from minors raises additional COPPA concerns. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Any third-party advertising or analytics vendors receiving precise location data should be identified in data processing agreements and their use of such data should be contractually restricted to disclosed purposes. Procurement teams should verify that location data recipients do not use it for purposes beyond those disclosed in this policy. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should audit whether in-app consent prompts for location access clearly explain how precise location data will be used; verify that location data is not shared with advertising partners in jurisdictions where opt-in consent is required; assess data retention periods for location data; and confirm that state-specific sensitive data frameworks are implemented for California and other covered states.
