Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Ad targeting draws on multiple data sources simultaneously—off-platform business data, neighborhood-level demographics, and individual behavioral signals—creating a layered profile used to shape what advertising content each user sees.

The updated footer no longer includes a direct link to the 'Do not Sell or Share My Personal Data' page. Previously, this link provided quick access to California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) opt-out controls from the footer menu. Users can likely still access these controls through the main Privacy Policy page or dedicated privacy settings, but the removal eliminates a prominent, footer-based navigation shortcut. You should verify whether this opt-out functionality remains accessible through other menu locations or settings.
