California users have specific legal rights to see, delete, correct, and limit the sale or sharing of their personal data, and MyFitnessPal is required under California law to honor these requests.
This analysis describes what MyFitnessPal'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
California's CCPA/CPRA gives users meaningful control over how their health and fitness data is used and shared, including the ability to opt out of data sharing with advertising partners without losing access to the service.
California residents can formally request that MyFitnessPal stop sharing their personal data with advertising partners, delete their stored health data, or provide a copy of what data is held, all without penalty to their service access.

"If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell or share about you; the right to delete personal information we have collected from you; the right to correct inaccurate personal information; the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information; and the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising your privacy rights.— Excerpt from MyFitnessPal's MyFitnessPal Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision directly implements California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) requirements. The California Privacy Protection Agency and the California Attorney General share enforcement authority. CPRA introduced the right to correct and expanded sensitive personal information protections, both of which are referenced in this provision. Non-compliance with verified consumer request timelines (generally 45 days under CPRA) or failure to honor opt-out requests creates direct regulatory exposure. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. While the provision represents a legally required disclosure, the operational implementation of these rights (intake, verification, fulfillment within statutory timelines, non-discrimination) carries compliance risk if not properly resourced. The combination of sensitive health data and advertising-purpose sharing makes accurate opt-out implementation particularly critical for this user population. JURISDICTION FLAGS: Applies exclusively to California residents. Other US state privacy laws (Virginia CDPA, Colorado CPA, Connecticut CTDPA, Texas TDPSA, and others) have analogous rights that may require parallel implementation, though those are not the subject of this specific provision. Non-California US users do not have equivalent statutory rights under federal law currently. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: MyFitnessPal's downstream advertising and analytics partners must be capable of honoring deletion and opt-out requests passed through from MyFitnessPal. Service provider agreements should include CPRA-compliant terms restricting third-party use of personal information. Absence of such contractual controls could affect whether MyFitnessPal can demonstrate CPRA compliance in the service provider exemption context. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should verify that the opt-out mechanism for sale or sharing is functional on both web and mobile platforms, that verified consumer request intake is operational, and that response timelines are tracked. The sensitive personal information category under CPRA should be mapped against the health and dietary data collected to determine whether additional disclosure or opt-in controls are required.
