ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision authorizes the transmission of pseudonymized user identifiers to named social media advertising platforms and unnamed advertising partners for cross-device targeting and retargeting. The use of hashed email addresses as cross-device identifiers is a common but regulated practice that may constitute sharing or selling of personal information under certain state privacy laws.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this clause, hashed versions of user email addresses and platform user IDs may be shared with advertising partners and social media platforms for the purpose of delivering targeted advertising across devices and platforms. Users can opt out of personalized advertisements on Kick's platform via the user preferences center toggle, though the policy notes this does not prevent all advertising.

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.

We may share a common account identifier (such as a hashed email address or user ID) with our third-party advertising partners to help identify you across devices. We and our third-party partners use this information to make the advertisements you see online more relevant to your interests, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics and market research. We may also use services provided by third parties (such as social media platforms) to serve targeted advertisements to you and others on such platforms. We may do this by providing a hashed version of your email address or other information to the platform provider.
