While Zelle asserts it does not sell data, the notice separately confirms that browsing data and identifiers are shared with advertising networks for behavioral advertising, which is regulated as 'sharing' under CPRA even if not technically a sale.
Zelle's website now operates under a binding privacy notice that requires you to expressly consent to the collection, use, disclosure, and retention of your personal information as a condition of visiting the site.

"In the past 12 months, we have not sold Personal Information from the Website. For purposes of this Privacy Notice, 'sale' means the disclosure of Personal Information to a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration.— Excerpt from Zelle's Zelle Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The distinction between 'selling' and 'sharing' personal information is central to CPRA's framework. The document correctly identifies that behavioral advertising data sharing is subject to opt-out rights as sharing even if it does not constitute a sale. The FTC and California Privacy Protection Agency both have authority over representations about data sale practices. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low with respect to the sale assertion itself, given the document's acknowledgment of sharing for behavioral advertising purposes. The primary governance risk is ensuring that no data flows exist that could constitute a sale under applicable law but are not captured by the document's disclosure. JURISDICTION FLAGS: The definition of 'sale' in this document aligns with CPRA's definition but may differ from definitions in other state privacy laws. Legal teams should evaluate whether any data flows with advertising partners could constitute a sale under the broader definitions used in some state frameworks. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Advertising network agreements should confirm that the data sharing arrangement does not involve consideration flowing from the third party to Zelle in a form that could constitute a sale under applicable law, including non-monetary consideration such as audience data or data enrichment. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Annual review of data flows with third-party advertising and analytics partners should confirm that no arrangements have been established that would constitute a sale of personal information under the applicable legal definitions, and that the no-sale assertion remains accurate at the time of the policy's effective date.
