Cross-Border Data Transfers

Why it matters

When your data is transferred from the EU or UK to the US, it moves to a jurisdiction with different privacy protections, and the adequacy of Reddit's transfer mechanisms is subject to ongoing legal challenges that could affect the lawfulness of processing.

Consumer impact

Reddit collects a wide range of personal data including browsing activity, location inferences, device identifiers, and all content you post, and uses this data for targeted advertising and to train AI and machine learning models. Users who have not reviewed their privacy settings may be unknowingly contributing their content and behavioral data to third-party ad targeting and AI development without realizing the scope. You can limit data sharing for advertising and exercise deletion or opt-out rights by visiting Reddit's Privacy Settings at reddit.com/settings/privacy or submitting a data request at reddit.com/settings/data-request.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC enforces compliance with the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and has authority to act against deceptive representations about cross-border data transfer safeguards under FTC Act Section 5.
