Sharing of Personal Information
The CCPA defines “sharing” personal information to include providing personal information to third parties for certain online behavioral advertising purposes. Pursuant to this CCPA definition, we “shared” personal information with third parties for customized and personalized marketing and advertising in the past 12 months, including identifiers, internet or other similar network activity, and inferences drawn from other personal information. The recipients of this personal information are prohibited from using this shared personal information except to provide services to us or as otherwise required by law.
We recognize the right for California residents (and all other individuals regardless of where they live) to opt-out of the “sharing” of personal information by clicking on the Do Not Share My Personal Information link in this notice and on our website. You can also request that we not share your personal information by emailing us at privacy@godaddy.com.
Use of Sensitive Personal Information
GoDaddy does not use sensitive personal information, as defined in the CCPA, for any purpose other than:
- providing the services or goods requested by our customers
- preventing, detecting, and investigating security incidents
- detecting and responding to malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal actions
- to ensure the physical safety of natural persons
- for short term, transient use, including but not limited to, nonpersonalized advertising shown as part of a consumer’s interaction with us
- to service accounts
- to verify or maintain the quality or safety of products, services, and/or devices that are owned, manufactured, manufactured for, or controlled by us
- for employment purposes
As a result, the right to limit use of sensitive personal information under the CCPA does not apply to our activities.
