Why it matters

California law gives residents stronger privacy rights than federal law, including an explicit right to stop Klarna from selling or sharing your personal data with advertisers and data brokers.

Consumer impact

Klarna collects extensive personal data including financial information, purchase history, and behavioural data, and shares it with a broad range of third parties including merchants, credit reference agencies, and advertising partners. This means your shopping habits and financial profile may be used for credit decisions and targeted advertising beyond what you might expect from a payment service. You can review and exercise your data rights β€” including access, deletion, and portability β€” by logging into your Klarna account and visiting the privacy settings section.

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.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    California residents can visit Klarna's privacy page and use the 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' link to submit an opt-out request. You should receive confirmation and processing should cease within 15 business days.

Applicable agencies

  • State AG
    The California Attorney General has enforcement authority under CCPA/CPRA for violations of California consumer privacy rights.
