Excerpt from Pinterest's Privacy Policy

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (regulatory & governance intelligence)

Broad third-party data sharing obligations under GDPR require data sharing agreements and Data Processing Agreements (Article 28), and disclosure of recipients to data subjects. Under CCPA, sharing personal data with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising may constitute a 'sale' requiring opt-out rights.
