ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision authorizes both direct third-party tracker deployment on Mixpanel properties and outbound data sharing with advertising partners for cross-platform and lookalike audience advertising, with the named third-party cookie list including AdRoll, AppNexus, DoubleClick, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Twitter, and others.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this clause, third-party advertising partners named in the policy may collect interaction data across browsers and devices via cookies placed on Mixpanel properties, and Mixpanel may share user information with those partners to serve interest-based advertising on other online platforms. Users who opt out of interest-based advertising via the 'Your Privacy Choices' link or GPC signal will have that opt-out honored per the policy.

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
    Click the 'Your Privacy Choices' footer link on the Mixpanel website to opt out of interest-based advertising sharing. EU users may also use the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out tool as referenced in the policy.
