"Opt-out of profiling/automated decision making. You can opt-out of automated processing or profiling performed on personal information to evaluate, analyze, or predict personal aspects related to a person's economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.Excerpt from RunPod's Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision implicates CCPA as amended by CPRA (Cal. Civ. Code Section 1798.185 regarding automated decision-making), the Virginia CDPA, the Colorado Privacy Act, and comparable state privacy frameworks that include opt-out rights for profiling. GDPR Article 22 separately governs automated individual decision-making with legal or similarly significant effects for EU and UK users. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The provision acknowledges an opt-out right for a broad set of automated profiling activities. Compliance teams should verify that RunPod's data processing infrastructure can identify, isolate, and cease profiling activities for specific users who submit valid opt-out requests, and that these requests are honored within the timeframes required by applicable state law. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California (CPRA automated decision-making regulations are subject to ongoing regulatory development), Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and other states with active privacy frameworks. EU and UK users have additional protections under GDPR Article 22 that may be more operationally demanding than state law opt-out rights. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: If profiling is conducted by third-party service providers on RunPod's behalf, vendor agreements should address the ability to honor opt-out requests in a timely and verifiable manner. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should map which specific automated processing or profiling activities are covered by this opt-out right, confirm that DSAR@runpod.io requests for opt-out of profiling are routed to the appropriate operational team, and document response timelines to satisfy applicable state law requirements.
