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

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

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.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

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.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Export Your Data
    Visit Headspace's cookie settings on their website to opt out of advertising-related data sharing. You can also submit a 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' request via the privacy rights portal.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

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.
