Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes the stated consumer choice framework across multiple data use categories; the operational scope, mechanism, and legal standard applied to each choice (opt-in versus opt-out, granularity of control, accessibility) are not detailed in this summary document and would need to be assessed against applicable state law requirements.

Interpretive note: The provision does not specify whether each choice category is governed by opt-in or opt-out consent, the technical mechanism through which choices are propagated to third parties, or whether choices persist across all channels and devices.
