This opt-out right is one of the most significant consumer protections in the policy, allowing you to limit how your personal data is used for commercial advertising and data sharing with third parties.
Interpretive note: The phrase 'to the extent required by applicable law' introduces uncertainty about whether the opt-out is honored for consumers in states without explicit opt-out statutes.
Exercising this opt-out right can stop Home Depot from sharing your personal data with advertising networks and other third parties for targeted marketing, though the policy conditions compliance on what is required by applicable law, meaning the scope of the opt-out may vary by state.

"You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. To exercise this right, please click on the 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' link available on our website, or contact us as described in the 'Contact Us' section of this policy. We will process your request and, to the extent required by applicable law, stop selling or sharing your personal information.— Excerpt from Home Depot's Home Depot Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The right to opt out of sale or sharing is mandated by CCPA as amended by CPRA for California residents, and analogous rights exist under privacy laws in Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, and other states. The California Privacy Protection Agency enforces CPRA opt-out requirements and has issued regulations specifying the form and placement of opt-out notices. The FTC may also have jurisdiction over deceptive opt-out practices. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The policy's opt-out provision is qualified by the phrase 'to the extent required by applicable law,' which means consumers in states without strong opt-out rights may not receive the same protections as California residents. The accessibility and technical effectiveness of the opt-out mechanism (including whether it functions for all browsers and devices, whether it persists across sessions, and whether it is honored by all downstream partners) are areas of regulatory focus. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California creates the highest exposure due to CPRA's detailed opt-out requirements and CPPA enforcement authority. Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Texas require accessible opt-out of targeted advertising but have different procedural requirements. EU/EEA users are not addressed, and the policy does not appear to extend GDPR-compliant opt-out rights beyond U.S. state law requirements. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: When a consumer opts out, Home Depot must communicate that opt-out signal to all downstream advertising and data partners in a timely manner; contracts with partners should specify opt-out signal transmission requirements and timelines. Universal Opt-Out Mechanism (UOOM) compliance under applicable state laws should be evaluated, including Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal recognition. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal and compliance teams should verify that the opt-out mechanism is technically functional, accessible on all pages, and that opt-out signals are transmitted to all relevant third parties within legally required timeframes. The policy's use of 'to the extent required by applicable law' should be reviewed to ensure it does not create a misleading impression for consumers in states with fewer protections. Annual audits of the opt-out process should be documented.
