"If you are a California resident, you have the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information and the sharing of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. To exercise this right, you may click on the 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' link.— Excerpt from GOAT's GOAT Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision implements California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act opt-out rights. The California Privacy Protection Agency and California Attorney General enforce these requirements. CPRA requires that the opt-out link be 'clear and conspicuous' and that opt-out requests be honored within 15 business days. Non-compliance with opt-out request timelines or link placement requirements creates direct regulatory exposure. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The existence of this mechanism is legally required and its presence in the policy is appropriate. However, governance exposure arises if the technical implementation of the opt-out is incomplete, if the link is not sufficiently prominent, or if downstream data sharing continues after an opt-out signal is received. The Global Privacy Control signal must also be honored under CPRA. JURISDICTION FLAGS: This right applies specifically to California residents. Users in Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, and other states with enacted privacy laws have analogous but distinct opt-out rights under their respective statutes. EU and UK users have separate rights under GDPR and UK GDPR that are not addressed by this specific mechanism. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: GOAT must ensure that opt-out signals are communicated to all downstream business partners and advertising technology vendors in a timely manner. Failure to propagate opt-out instructions to data recipients may constitute a violation of CPRA even if GOAT's own processing ceases. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should verify that the Global Privacy Control is technically recognized and honored, that opt-out requests are logged and fulfilled within the statutory 15-business-day window, and that the 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' link is displayed in the footer or a similarly prominent location on all relevant pages accessible to California users.
