This provision confirms that your personal data may flow to external advertising and marketing networks, which means your driving habits, location, and profile data could be used to target you with ads across the web.
Interpretive note: The full verbatim policy text was truncated; the precise scope of the opt-out mechanism and whether it extends to non-California residents is inferred from standard CCPA-compliant policy structures and the document's stated California-specific rights section.
If you are a California resident and do not opt out, GM's terms permit your personal information to be sold or shared with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising. Non-California residents do not receive an equivalent opt-out right under this policy.

"We may share your personal information with third parties in ways that may be considered a 'sale' or 'sharing' for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law. California residents have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information.— Excerpt from General Motors's GM Privacy Statement
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision directly engages CCPA as amended by CPRA (California Civil Code Section 1798.100 et seq.), enforced by the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) and the California AG. The policy's disclosure of 'sale' and 'sharing' triggers mandatory opt-out link requirements ('Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information'), annual category disclosure, and data broker registration obligations where applicable under California law. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. The explicit acknowledgment that data sharing may constitute a 'sale' or 'sharing' under California law creates ongoing compliance obligations including honoring opt-out signals (including Global Privacy Control), updating disclosures annually, and ensuring downstream recipients do not re-sell data. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California residents have the strongest protections. Virginia (VCDPA), Colorado (CPA), Connecticut, and Texas privacy laws also provide opt-out rights for targeted advertising using personal data, though the mechanisms and enforcement differ. Non-U.S. residents are excluded from this policy's scope. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Contracts with advertising technology partners and data brokers receiving GM consumer data should include service provider or contractor-level restrictions to avoid triggering 'sale' characterization under CCPA. Absence of such contractual controls could expose GM to regulatory liability. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should audit whether the opt-out mechanism honors Global Privacy Control signals as required under CPRA. Data flows to advertising platforms should be mapped to confirm that all 'sharing' recipients are properly classified. Annual privacy notice updates disclosing data categories sold or shared are required under CCPA/CPRA.
