The updated policy establishes that Ro has enabled contractual settings with certain advertising partners that restrict those partners' use of data to service provision only, meaning those partners may not use the information for their own advertising or profiling purposes. The policy also expands the list of states where Ro does not sell sensitive personal information for tailored advertising, adding New Jersey, New Hampshire, Nebraska, Iowa, and Delaware. For residents of the newly added states and others covered by partner settings, default restrictions on data use may apply even without an explicit opt-out. You can manage advertising preferences through the policy's stated opt-out mechanisms, including the 'Your Privacy Choices' page and Global Privacy Control signals.
