What it is

When you visit Headspace's websites, they automatically collect information about you through cookies and other tracking tools, such as pixels and analytics scripts. You can control which cookies are used through the cookie settings on their websites.

Why it matters

Tracking technologies can collect detailed information about your browsing behavior across the web, including your interest in mental health topics, and this data may be shared with third parties.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

Use of cookies and similar tracking technologies is governed by GDPR and ePrivacy Directive requirements (for EU/UK users), CCPA/CPRA (for California users), and various state laws requiring opt-out mechanisms. Compliance teams should verify that consent mechanisms meet applicable legal standards, particularly given the sensitive nature of health-related browsing data.

Consumer impact

Headspace collects highly sensitive personal data including mental health information, therapy session details, and behavioral data from your use of their app, and may share this with advertising partners and third-party service providers. Users in therapy or psychiatry programs are subject to HIPAA protections, but general app users should be aware their meditation habits and wellness data may be used for targeted advertising. You can request deletion of your personal data or opt out of certain data sharing by visiting Headspace's privacy rights portal or emailing privacy@headspace.com.
