ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (regulatory & governance intelligence)

Sharing personal data with advertising networks for behavioral targeting constitutes 'sharing' under CPRA and may qualify as 'sale' under CCPA, triggering opt-out and disclosure obligations. Data broker relationships may additionally implicate state data broker registration laws in California (AB 1202) and Vermont.
