The clause establishes dual pathways for marketing communication—affirmative opt-in and legitimate interest—with a unilateral opt-out mechanism. This structure governs the conditions under which promotional contact may occur and specifies the procedural method for discontinuing such communications.
The provision operationalizes a consent-based marketing communication system with an affirmative opt-out structure. The carve-out for non-marketing communications preserves Thomson Reuters' ability to transmit transactional and account-related messages independent of marketing preference settings.
The policy states marketing communications are sent and that an opt-out mechanism is available, which is relevant to users who do not wish to receive promotional emails from Pinecone.
The clause establishes the operational framework for marketing communications and specifies the procedures by which users may decline receipt of promotional materials. This clarifies both the service's authorization to conduct marketing outreach and the administrative mechanisms for users to restrict such communications.
Zelle
· Zelle Privacy Policy

Twitch
· Twitch Privacy Notice
If Twitch is acquired or merged, your personal data becomes an asset transferred to the new entity, which may operate under different privacy practices than those you originally agreed to.
Microsoft

· Ring Terms of Service
If a minor uses Ring services without proper parental consent, the parent or guardian may nonetheless be bound by the terms and held responsible for the minor's use, including any data collected from their use of Ring's platform.
The age threshold of 16 is higher than the 13-year COPPA threshold used by many US services, which may reflect GDPR Article 8 compliance for EU users, but the policy does not describe what age verification mechanisms are in place.
This provision establishes the age restriction applicable to the platform and the policy's scope with respect to minors, engaging COPPA obligations for users under 13 in the United States and analogous requirements under GDPR for users in the EEA.
Employment platforms that collect detailed personal data, including resumes and application history, have heightened obligations under laws like COPPA in the U.S. and GDPR Article 8 in the EEA when minors may access the platform.
Zelle
· Zelle Privacy Policy
This provision establishes Zelle's COPPA compliance posture, but the 'do not knowingly' standard means that if a child under 13 visits the site, data may still be collected unless the site has active age-verification or screening mechanisms in place.
This provision gives minors a mechanism to retract publicly posted content, which is required under California law, but the caveat that removal is not comprehensive means third-party copies or cached versions may persist.
SoFi
· SoFi Privacy Notice
The hub-and-spoke policy structure means that the applicable privacy terms for any given user depend on which SoFi products they use, and users of multiple products are subject to multiple overlapping policy documents with potentially different data collection, sharing, and retention terms.
This provision confirms Supabase's stated position that it does not sell personal data under Nevada's definition, which is reassuring for Nevada residents but does not address broader data sharing practices that may fall outside that legal definition.
This is a meaningful departure from the advertising-based business models of many competing platforms; however, users should note this is a policy commitment rather than a technical guarantee enforced by architecture.
This provision establishes a stated commitment that user data is not analyzed or mined for advertising purposes, which is operationally distinct from advertising-supported platforms that use behavioral or demographic data for targeting. This commitment applies to Telegram's own advertising system; it does not govern data practices of third-party bot developers.
For developers and businesses, this is a core assurance that proprietary prompts and API inputs remain confidential and are not leveraged to improve models that could benefit competitors or expose sensitive information.
Signal
· Signal Privacy Policy
This is a direct, unqualified commitment that distinguishes Signal from ad-supported platforms and provides a clear baseline expectation for users concerned about commercial data use.
This commitment directly limits one of the most common ways consumer data is monetized; users can rely on the stated promise, though enforcement depends on Craigslist's internal practices and applicable law.
Zillow
· Zillow Privacy Notice
This provision operationalizes non-discrimination protections by explicitly prohibiting price disparities, service denials, and quality reductions tied to privacy right exercise. The clause establishes a binding obligation that privacy right exercise cannot trigger differential commercial treatment.
This provision operationalizes legal non-discrimination requirements by explicitly binding Spotify to neutral treatment of users exercising privacy rights. It establishes that access to services or pricing will not be conditioned on waiver or non-exercise of privacy rights.
This disclosure is operationally relevant to users and regulators because it describes the absence of algorithmic content ranking or behavioral profiling in content display, which is a notable characteristic of the platform's design relative to social-media-style recommendation systems.
This is a meaningful consumer protection commitment, though its practical scope depends on how 'sell' is defined relative to the de-identified data sharing and joint marketing practices described elsewhere in the policy, which may or may not be characterized as a sale under applicable law.
This provision directly addresses the risk of targeted surveillance or profiling of individual users through the AI cloud infrastructure, which is a specific privacy protection relevant to both consumers and regulated enterprises.
A commitment not to sell personal data is meaningful for consumers concerned about their financial and identity data being monetized by third-party data brokers, though the policy separately permits broad sharing with service providers and affiliates.
While Wealthfront states it does not collect cross-site personal information, the non-response to DNT signals means consumers cannot use standard browser tools to control data collection, and must rely on Wealthfront's own stated practices.
While the no-sale commitment addresses one category of concern, the policy still permits broad sharing with affiliates and service providers, meaning data can flow to third parties through channels other than a formal sale.
This clause operationalizes compliance with statutory definitions of data sales under privacy regulations such as CCPA. It establishes the baseline practice while creating a mechanism for users to restrict a specific category of data use.
This provision establishes a clear data handling boundary that limits the commercial uses to which personal data may be put. It defines a specific restriction on monetization practices involving personal information collection.
