Headspace may share your personal information — including data about your use of the app — with third-party advertising and analytics companies to help serve you targeted ads and improve their marketing. This sharing may constitute a 'sale' or 'sharing' of personal data under some state privacy laws.
Your mental health app usage data could be shared with advertisers, which many users would not expect given the sensitive nature of mental wellness information.
Data sharing with advertising and analytics vendors using tracking technologies (cookies, pixels, SDKs) likely constitutes 'sale' or 'sharing' under CCPA/CPRA, triggering opt-out obligations and requiring a 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' mechanism. When the data involved includes mental health or wellness indicators, additional restrictions may apply under MHMDA and FTC Act Section 5 principles.
