Dropbox's retained responsibility means users have a point of accountability with Dropbox itself, rather than having to pursue third-party processors directly, for mishandling of their information.
A reader can hold Dropbox responsible for how third-party processors handle their information, provided those processors are acting on Dropbox's behalf per Dropbox's instructions.
How other platforms handle this
Under Section 1798.83, Ancestry currently does not share any Personal Information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
Third-party apps use data from Gemini consistent with their own privacy policies and terms.
