The breadth of permitted sharing, which includes marketing assistance providers and unspecified affiliates, means your sensitive financial data may reach organizations beyond Public's direct control, and the policy does not exhaustively name all recipients.
Interpretive note: Whether marketing-related data sharing constitutes a CCPA 'sale' or 'sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising' depends on the specific nature of the data flows, which the policy does not detail with sufficient specificity to resolve.
