Reddit privacy policy drops 'share' wording and names Reddit, Inc. in data-transfer clauses

✓ Machine-checked

The privacy policy now says Reddit does not 'sell' personal information under state privacy laws. It no longer includes the earlier statement that Reddit does not 'share' it, and it refers to 'applicable' laws instead of the CCPA. Data Privacy Framework clauses now name Reddit, Inc. rather than Reddit. A new line points users in states with privacy laws to their Privacy Settings to exercise their rights.

Taken from you

  • Explicit statement that Reddit does not 'share' personal information (cross-context advertising sense) was removed
  • Specific reference to the CCPA in the no-sale and sensitive-data statements was replaced by generic 'applicable' laws

Won back

  • Pointer to Privacy Settings for exercising rights for users in states with privacy laws
  • Data Privacy Framework commitments now name a specific legal entity, Reddit, Inc.
