This provision establishes an opt-out rather than opt-in structure for cross-context behavioral advertising data sharing, meaning personal information flows to advertising partners unless users actively exercise the opt-out right. Under CPRA, this type of 'sharing' for cross-context behavioral advertising triggers specific disclosure and opt-out mechanism requirements enforceable by the California Privacy Protection Agency.
Under this clause, personal information may be shared with advertising network partners for targeted advertising purposes unless a user submits an opt-out request via email to CCPA@goat.com or through the platform's cookie-based opt-out mechanism. Third parties receiving the data operate under their own privacy policies, meaning GOAT's privacy commitments do not extend to how those parties use the shared information.

Unless you have exercised your Right to Opt-Out, we may disclose or "sell" your personal information to third parties for non-monetary consideration, or "share" your personal information to third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes. The third parties to whom we sell or share personal information may use such information for their own purposes in accordance with their own privacy policies.Excerpt from GOAT's Privacy Policy
