What it is

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.

This analysis describes what Headspace's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
