What it is

Paramount+ allows outside ad companies to place tracking tools on your device to build a profile of your browsing and viewing habits and serve you targeted ads both on and off the Paramount+ platform.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Your browsing behavior, device identifiers, and viewing habits collected by Paramount+ are shared with advertising networks and social media companies who use this data to target you with ads across the internet, creating a cross-platform profile you may not be aware of.

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
    Access your account privacy settings on Paramount+ and select the option to opt out of targeted advertising and the sharing of your data with advertising partners.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Third-party trackers embedded by Paramount+ follow your activity across the internet, not just on the platform, meaning your data is being collected and monetized in ways that extend far beyond your use of the streaming service itself.

View original clause language
We work with third-party advertising companies and social media companies to serve ads on our Services and elsewhere online. These companies may use cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to collect information about your use of our Services and other websites to provide you with targeted advertising based on your browsing activity and interests.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Implicates CCPA/CPRA §1798.120 (right to opt out of sale/sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising), FTC Act Section 5 (unfair or deceptive practices in data collection), and GDPR Art. 6(1)(a) (consent) and Art. 7 for EU users where consent is the lawful basis for behavioral advertising. The EU ePrivacy Directive (Cookie Directive, 2002/58/EC as amended) requires prior informed consent for non-essential cookies, enforced by national data protection authorities.
