Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes the legal and operational basis for cross-context behavioral advertising using Zillow user data, and is directly relevant to CCPA/CPRA opt-out obligations and FTC guidance on online tracking.

Interpretive note: The scope of third-party partner independent data collection through tracking technologies on Zillow properties may not be fully captured in the policy's disclosures, creating uncertainty about the completeness of the sharing description.
