Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision authorizes the sharing of hashed personal data with Google and other advertising providers for interest-based advertising, contingent on the user's marketing consent. The policy specifies that this sharing occurs across multiple data collection contexts including website registration, account creation, event attendance, and lead generation, meaning the sharing pathway applies broadly across NVIDIA's data collection activities.

High Jun 12, 2026

The updated Privacy Policy removes all disclosure language about how NVIDIA and third-party partners use cookies and other tracking technologies. Previously, the policy stated that cookies were used 'to collect and record information' for 'performance improvement, analytics, and to assist in our marketing efforts' and described consent mechanisms like 'Accept All' and 'Manage Settings'. The updated policy contains no equivalent disclosure of these tracking practices, data collection methods, or consent options. You can review NVIDIA's full Privacy Policy at their Privacy Center, though the updated version no longer describes cookie and tracking technology practices that were previously disclosed.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this clause, consenting users have their contact and profile data hashed and shared with advertising networks including Google for interest-based ad targeting. The agreement permits this sharing across multiple contexts where NVIDIA collects contact or registration data, and users who have consented to marketing communications may be affected across all of these data collection points.

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
    Visit the NVIDIA Privacy Center to withdraw marketing consent or opt out of interest-based advertising. Withdrawing consent will stop future sharing of hashed data with advertising providers, though it does not affect prior sharing.
