“share,” “shared,” or “sharing” means sharing, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer’s personal information by the business to a third party for targeted advertising, whether or not for monetary or other valuable consideration, including transactions between a business and a third party for targeted advertising for the benefit of a business in which no money is exchanged. For purposes of this definition, a business does not share personal information when: (a) a consumer uses or directs the business to intentionally disclose personal information or intentionally interact with one or more third parties; (b) the business uses or shares an identifier for a consumer who has opted out of the sharing of the consumer’s personal information or limited the use of the consumer’s sensitive personal information for the purposes of alerting persons that the consumer has opted out of the sharing of the consumer’s personal information or limited the use of the consumer’s sensitive personal information; or (c) the business transfers to a third party the personal information of a consumer as an asset that is part of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or other transaction in which the third party assumes control of all or part of the business, provided that information is used or shared consistently in accordance with applicable law.

“targeted advertising” means the displaying to or targeting of advertising to a consumer that is selected based on the consumer’s personal information obtained or inferred from the consumer’s activity across businesses, distinctly-branded websites, applications, or services, excluding the business, distinctly-branded website, application, or service with which the consumer intentionally interacts. For purposes of clarity, the definition of targeting advertising does not include advertising based on your activities within our Technology Sites. In some jurisdictions, targeted advertising is referred to as “cross-context behavioral advertising.”

“verifiable request” means a request that is made by you, by you on behalf of your minor child, by a natural person or a person authorized by you to act on your behalf, or by a person who has power of attorney or is acting as a conservator for you, and that we can verify, using commercially reasonable methods, pursuant to applicable law.
