# Reddit Privacy Policy

Effective: July 1, 2026. Last Revised: May 26, 2026.

We’ve updated our Privacy Policy. Please take a look before the changes take effect on
July 1, 2026.

This page is the updated Privacy Policy; for the version effective until July 1, 2026,
click here .

## Introduction

At Reddit, we believe that privacy is a right. We want to empower our users to be the
masters of their identity. In this privacy policy, we want to help you understand how and
why Reddit (“Reddit,” “we” or “us”) collects, uses, and shares information about you when
you use our websites, mobile apps, widgets, APIs, emails, and other online products and
services (collectively, the "Services") or when you otherwise interact with us or receive a
communication from us.

We want this privacy policy to empower you to make better choices about how you use Reddit.
We’d love for you to read the whole policy, but if you don’t, here is the TL;DR:

- Reddit is a public platform.

Reddit is a public platform. Our communities are largely public and anyone can see your
profile, posts, and comments.

- We collect minimal information about you.

We collect minimal information that can be used to identify you by default. If you want to
just browse, you don’t need an account. If you want to create an account to participate in a
subreddit, we don’t require you to give us your real name. We don’t track your precise
location. You can even browse anonymously . You can share as much or as little about yourself as you want when using Reddit, though
you may have different feature experiences if you choose to share less.

- We use personal data to make Reddit a better place.

Any data we collect is used primarily to provide our Services, which are focused on allowing
people to come together and form communities. We don’t sell your personal data to third
parties, including data brokers.

- All of our users get privacy rights - not just those in select countries.

Privacy rights are for everyone. At Reddit, anyone can request a copy of their personal
data, account deletion, or information about our policies.

- If you have questions about how we use personal data, just ask.

We’ve tried our best to make this as easy to understand as possible but sometimes privacy
policies are still confusing. If you need help understanding this policy or anything about
Reddit, just ask .

## Reddit Is a Public Platform

Much of the information on the Services is public and accessible to everyone, even without
an account.

When you submit content (for example, a post, comment, or chat message) to a public part of
the Services, any visitors to and users of our Services will be able to see and reshare that
content, the username associated with that content, and the date and time you originally
submitted that content. That content and information may also be available in search results
on internet search engines like Google or in responses provided by an AI chatbot like
OpenAI’s ChatGPT as well as reshared by others without permission or where Reddit has no
control. You should take the public nature of the Services into consideration before
posting. By using the Services, you are directing us to share this information publicly and
freely.

Your Reddit account has a profile page that is public. Your profile contains information
about your activities on the Services, such as your username, prior posts and comments,
karma, trophies and achievement badges, profile display name, about section, social links,
avatar or profile image, moderator, contributor, and Reddit Premium status, communities you
are active in, and how long you have been a member of the Services (your cake day).

We offer social sharing features that let you share content or actions you take on our
Services with other media. Your use of these features enables the sharing of certain
information with your friends or the public, depending on the settings you establish with
the third party that provides the social sharing feature. For more information about the
purpose and scope of personal data collection and processing in connection with social
sharing features, please visit the privacy policies of the third parties that provide these
social sharing features (for example, Tumblr , Facebook , and X ).

Reddit allows moderators to access Reddit content and information using moderator bots and
tools. Reddit also allows other third parties to access Reddit public content and
information using Reddit’s developer services, including Reddit Embeds, our APIs, Developer
Platform, and similar technologies. We limit third-party access to this content and
aggregate information (for example, voting ratios) before sharing. We also require third
parties to pay licensing fees for access to larger quantities of content and information.
Reddit’s Developer Terms are our
standard terms governing how these services are used by third parties. Please review our Public Content Policy for more information about how your public content is publicly available and accessible to
anyone with access to the internet.

## What Information We Collect

Information You Provide to Us

We collect information you provide to us directly when you use the Services.
This includes:

_Account Information_

You don’t need an account to use Reddit. If you create a Reddit account,
your account will have a username, which you provide or which is
automatically generated. Your username is public, and it doesn’t have to
be related to your real name. You may need to provide a password,
depending on whether you register using an email address, Single Sign-On
(SSO) feature (such as Apple or Google), or phone number. If your account
does not have a password, we may send you a SMS message for verification
purposes. We also ask you to select an interest, or multiple interests,
during account creation (for example, history, nature, sports) to help
generate content and community recommendations or select more relevant
advertising for you.

When you use Reddit, you may also provide other information, such as a
bio, gender, birthday, location, language, profile picture, or social
link. You can remove or revise this information at any time.

We also store your user account preferences and settings. We may ask for
such information prior to you creating a username or account to help
improve your experience exploring Reddit.

_Public Content You Submit_

Public content you submit includes your public posts, comments, and chat
messages, usernames, and some of your profile information, as well as
related metadata. Public content you submit may also include text, links,
images, gifs, audio, videos, software, and tools. Our Public Content Policy applies to this content.

_Non-Public Content You Submit_

Non-public content you submit includes your saved drafts of posts or
comments, your non-public messages with other users (such as private
messages, private chats, and modmail), and your reports and other
communications with moderators and with us. Non-public content you submit
may also include text, links, images, gifs, audio, videos, software, and
tools.

It also includes information you submit when you fill out a form or
survey, provide feedback, participate in Reddit-sponsored activities,
promotions, or programs, request customer support, or otherwise
communicate with us.

_Actions You Take_

We collect information about the actions you take when using the Services.
This includes your interactions with the platform and content, like
voting, saving, hiding, and reporting. It also includes your interactions
with other users, such as following and blocking. We collect your
interactions with communities, like your subscriptions or moderator
status.

_Transactional Information_

If you purchase products or services from us or otherwise through the
Services, you will have to provide payment information in order to
complete your purchase. Reddit uses industry-standard payment processor
services (such as Stripe) to handle payment information, and those
services are subject to separate terms and conditions and privacy
policies. We will collect information about the product or service you are
purchasing (for example, purchase dates, amounts paid or received, and
expiration and renewal dates).

We may also collect public blockchain data and addresses, such as when you
purchase or create a Collectible Avatar, receive or mint an NFT, or create
a Reddit Vault. However, we never store Reddit Vault private key
information.

Information We Collect As You Use Our Services

We automatically collect information as you use our Services. This includes:

_Logs Data_

We collect device and network connection information when you access and
use the Services. This may include your IP address, user-agent string,
browser type, operating system, referral URLs, device information (such as
device IDs), device settings, and mobile carrier name. Except for the IP
address used to create your account, Reddit will delete any IP addresses
collected after 100 days.

_Usage Information_

We collect information about how you use our Services, like pages visited,
how you interact with content, ads, and communities, upvotes/downvotes,
links clicked, the requested URL, and search terms.

_Information Collected From Cookies and Similar Technologies_

We may receive information from cookies, which are pieces of data your
browser stores and sends back to us when making requests, and similar
technologies. We use this information to deliver and maintain our
Services, improve your experience, understand user activity, personalize
content and advertisements, measure the effectiveness of advertising on
and off Reddit, and improve the quality of our Services. For example, we
store and retrieve information about your preferred language and other
settings. See our Cookie Notice for
more information about how Reddit uses cookies. For more information on
how you can disable non-essential cookies, please see “ Your Rights and Choices ” below.

_Location Information_

We automatically collect information about your approximate location based
on our Logs Data. We may also receive location information from you when
you choose to share such information on our Services, including via the
Location Customization setting or by associating your content with a
location.

_Public Information Related to You_

Information that we collect about you based on your interactions on our
Services will appear on your public profile. This includes your karma
scores, trophies and achievement badges, moderator, contributor, and
Reddit Premium status, communities you are active in, and how long you
have been a member of the Services (your cake day), as well as related
metadata. Our Public Content Policy applies to this content.

_Inferred Information_

We infer attributes such as age range, gender, and/or preferred
language(s) based on the information we have about you.

Information Collected from Other Sources

We may receive information about you from other sources, including from
other users and third parties, and combine that information with the other
information we have about you. For example, we may receive demographic or
interest information about you from third parties, including advertisers
(such as the fact that an advertiser is interested in showing you an ad),
and combine it with data you have provided to Reddit, using a common account
identifier such as a hash of an email address or a mobile-device ID. You can
control how we use this information to personalize advertisements for you by
visiting the User Settings menu in your account, as described in the section
titled “ Your Rights and Choices ” below.

_Linked Services_

If you authorize or link a third-party service, such as an unofficial
mobile app client, to access your Reddit account, Reddit receives
information about your use of that service when it uses that
authorization. Linking services may also cause the other service to send
us information about your account with that service. For example, if you
sign in to Reddit with a third-party identity provider, that provider may
share an email address with us. To learn how information is shared with
linked services, see “How We Share Your Information” below.

_Information Collected From Integrations_

We also may receive information about you, including log and usage data
and cookie information, from third-party sites that integrate our
Services, including our embeds and advertising technology or app store
APIs. For example, when you visit a site that uses Reddit Embeds , we may receive information about the web page you visited. Similarly,
if an advertiser incorporates Reddit’s ad technology, Reddit may receive
limited information about your activity on the advertiser’s site or app,
such as whether you bought something from the advertiser. You can control
how we use this information to personalize the Services and ads on and off
Reddit for you as described in “ Your Rights and Choices ” below. If you use the iOS or Android Reddit app, we may also receive
information about you from app store APIs, such as where you have elected
to share your age range information associated with your Apple or Google
accounts.

Information Collected if you Use Certain Reddit Offerings

_Reddit Ads Users_

If you use Reddit Ads (Reddit’s self-serve ads platform at ads.reddit.com)
on behalf of your business or organization, we collect some additional
information. To sign up for Reddit Ads, you must provide your name, email
address, and information about your company. Reddit may make information
about your company public to comply with applicable law. If you purchase
advertising services, you will need to provide transactional information
as described above in “Information We Collect - Transactional
Information,” and we may also require additional documentation to verify
your identity. When using Reddit Ads, we may record a session replay of
your visit for customer service, troubleshooting, and usability research
purposes.

_Reddit Pro Users_

If you sign up for Reddit Pro, on behalf of yourself, your business or
your organization, we may collect some additional information from you,
including your profile type, name, industry category, website, and
organization size, if applicable. If you request certain limited Reddit
Pro features, we may request additional documentation to verify your
identity.

_Reddit Program Participants and Potential Participants_

If you sign up to participate in a Reddit Program (for example, our
Contributor Program), we collect, directly or indirectly through our
providers, some additional information from you (such as your name, date
of birth, address, email, tax, government ID, and payment information).
This additional information is used and shared with our third-party
payment and compliance providers to determine your eligibility to
participate in the applicable Reddit Program, facilitate payments, and
comply with law. Those providers and their services are subject to
separate terms and conditions and privacy policies.

Information Collected by Third Parties

_Embedded Content_

Reddit displays some linked content in-line on the Services via embeds.
For example, Reddit posts that link to YouTube or X may load the linked
video or tweet within Reddit directly from those services to your device
so you don’t have to leave Reddit to see it. In general, Reddit does not
control how third-party services collect personal data when they serve you
their content directly via these embeds. As a result, embedded content is
not covered by this privacy policy but by the policies of the service from
which the content is embedded.

_Audience Measurement_

We partner with service providers that perform audience measurement to
learn demographic information about the population that uses Reddit. To
provide this demographic information, these companies collect cookie
information to recognize your device.

## How We Use Your Information

We use information about you to:

- Provide, maintain, and improve the Services;
- Provide you personalized, age-appropriate services, content, and features;
- Provide you with relevant advertising, including personalized advertising on and off
Reddit;
- Optimize and measure the effectiveness of ads shown on our Services;
- Advertise Reddit Services to you on other sites and apps, including measuring the
performance of those ads;
- Help protect the safety of Reddit and our users, which includes blocking suspected
spammers, addressing abuse, age restricting certain content and enforcing our rights, the
Reddit User Agreement and our
other terms and policies, as well as
comply with applicable law;
- Research and develop new services;
- Send you technical notices, updates, security alerts, invoices, and other support and
administrative messages;
- Provide customer service;
- Communicate with you about products, services, offers, promotions, events, and programs,
and provide other news and information we think will be of interest to you (for
information about how to opt out of these communications, see “Your Rights and Choices” below); and
- Monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with our Services.

## How We Share Your Information

In addition to the ways that public content is shared as described above in “Reddit Is a
Public Platform,” we may share information in the following ways:

- _With your consent._ We may share information about you with your consent or at
your direction. For example, at your direction through social sharing features that allow
you to share content with third party sites like Tumblr and X.
- _With linked services._ If you link your Reddit account with a third-party service,
Reddit will share the information you authorize with that third-party service. You can
control this sharing as described in "Your Rights and Choices" below.
- _With our service providers._ We may share information with vendors, consultants,
and other service providers who need access to such information to carry out work for us.
Their use of personal data will be subject to appropriate confidentiality and security
measures. A few examples: (i) payment processors who process transactions on our behalf,
(ii) cloud providers who host our data and our services, (iii) third-party ad serving and
measurement providers who help us and advertisers serve relevant ads and measure the
performance of ads (by disclosing information such as cookie IDs, your IP address, and/or
a hashed version of your email; these third parties may combine that information with
other information they already have about you to provide services to Reddit), (iv) age
verification providers who help us confirm your age, (v) compliance providers who help us
determine your eligibility to participate in Reddit Programs, and (vi) LLM providers who
help us compile and summarize public content for relevant search results on Reddit.
- _To comply with the law._ We may share information if we believe disclosure is in
accordance with, or required by, any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or
governmental request, including, but not limited to, meeting national security or law
enforcement requirements. To the extent the law allows it, we will attempt to provide you
with prior notice before disclosing your information in response to such a request. Our
Transparency Report has
additional information about how we respond to government requests.
- _In an emergency._ We may share information if we believe it's necessary to prevent
imminent and serious bodily harm to a person.
- _To enforce our rights and promote safety and security._ We may share information
if we believe your actions are inconsistent with our User Agreement,
rules, or
other Reddit terms and policies, or to
protect the rights, property, and safety of the Services, ourselves, and others.
- _With our affiliates._ We may share information between and among Reddit, and any
of our parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, and other companies under common control and
ownership to provide, maintain, and improve the Services.
- _Aggregated or de-identified information._ We may share information about you that
has been aggregated or anonymized such that it cannot reasonably be used to identify you.
For example, we may show the total number of times a post has been upvoted without
identifying who the visitors were, or we may tell an advertiser how many people saw their
ad.

## How We Protect Your Information

We take measures to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse and
unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. For example, we use HTTPS
while information is being transmitted. We also enforce technical and administrative access
controls to limit which of our employees have access to non-public personal information.

You can help maintain the security of your account by configuring two-factor authentication .

We store the information we collect for as long as it is necessary for the purpose(s) for
which we originally collected it. We may retain certain information for legitimate business
purposes and/or if we believe doing so is in accordance with, or as required by, any
applicable law. For example, if you violate our policies and your account is suspended or
banned, we may store the identifiers used to create the account (such as phone number) to
prevent you from creating new accounts.

## Your Rights and Choices

You have choices about how to protect and limit the collection, use, and sharing of
information about you when you use the Services. Depending on where you live, you may also
have the right to correction/rectification of your personal information, to opt out of
certain advertising practices, or to withdraw consent for processing where you have
previously provided consent. Please see “ Additional Information for EEA, Swiss, and UK Users ” and “ Additional Information for California & Other U.S. State Users .” Below we explain how to exercise each of these rights. Reddit does not discriminate
against users for exercising their rights under data protection laws.

_Accessing and Changing Your Information_

You can access your information and change or correct certain information
through the Services. See our Help Center page for more information. You can also request a copy of the personal
information Reddit maintains about you by following the process described here .

_Deleting Your Account_

You may delete your account at any time from the settings page in your
account. For more information, please visit our Help Center . When you delete your account, your profile is no longer visible to
other users and disassociated from content you posted under that account.
Please note, however, that the posts, comments, and messages you submitted
prior to deleting your account will still be visible to others unless you
first delete the specific content. After you submit a request to delete
your account, we initiate a deletion process to safely and completely
remove your data from our servers or retain it only in anonymized form.
After running our process, Reddit will not be able to provide access to
deleted data. We may also retain certain information about you for
legitimate business purposes and/or if we believe doing so is in
accordance with, or as required by, any applicable law.

_Controlling Linked Services’ Access to Your Account_

You can review the services you have permitted to access your account and
revoke access to individual services by visiting your account’s Apps page (for third-party
app authorizations), the Connected Accounts section of your Account Settings (for Google
Sign-In, Sign in with Apple, and connected X accounts), and the Social
links section of your Profile Settings .

_Controlling Personalized Advertising_

You may opt out of us using information we collect from third parties,
including advertising partners, to personalize the ads you see on and off
Reddit. To do so, visit the Privacy section of the User Settings in your
account here , if
using desktop, and in your Account Settings if using the Reddit mobile
app.

_Controlling the Use of Cookies_

Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you
can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject first- and
third-party cookies. In some jurisdictions, you may update your cookie
preferences at any time by visiting your Account Settings. Users without
an account may update by visiting “Cookie Preferences” at the top right
corner of reddit.com . Please note that if
you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect the availability
and functionality of our Services. For more information on controlling how
cookies and similar technologies are used on Reddit, see our Cookie Notice .

_Controlling Advertising and Analytics_

Some analytics providers we partner with may provide specific opt-out
mechanisms and we may provide, as needed and as available, additional
tools and third-party services that allow you to better understand
tracking technologies and how you can opt out. For example, you may manage
the use and collection of certain information by Google Analytics via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on . You can opt out of the Audience Measurement services provided by Nielsen and Quantcast . In some
jurisdictions, if you have an account with us and you visit our site with
an opt-out preference signal (such as Global Privacy Control) enabled, we
will treat that as an opt-out request.

You may also generally opt out of receiving personalized advertisements
from certain third-party advertisers and ad networks. To learn more about
these advertisements or to opt out, please visit the sites of the Digital Advertising Alliance and the Network Advertising Initiative , or if you are a user in the European Economic Area, Your Online Choices .

_Do Not Track_

Most modern web browsers give you the option to send a Do Not Track signal
to the sites you visit, indicating that you do not wish to be tracked.
However, there is no accepted standard for how a site should respond to
this signal, and we do not take any action in response to this signal.
Instead, in addition to publicly available third-party tools, we offer you
the choices described in this policy to manage the collection and use of
information about you.

_Controlling Promotional Communications_

You may opt out of receiving some or all categories of promotional
communications from us by following the instructions in those
communications or by updating your email options in your account
preferences here . If you opt
out of promotional communications, we may still send you non-promotional
communications, such as information about your account or your use of the
Services.

_Controlling Mobile Notifications_

With your consent, we may send promotional and non-promotional push
notifications or alerts to your mobile device. You can deactivate these
messages at any time by changing the notification settings on your mobile
device.

_Controlling Location Information_

You can control how we use location information for feed and
recommendations customization via the Location Customization setting in your Account Settings.

If you have questions or are not able to submit a request to exercise your rights using the
mechanisms above, you may also email us at redditdatarequests@reddit.com from the email
address that you have verified with your Reddit account, or submit your requests here .

Before we process a request from you about your personal information, we need to verify the
request via your access to your Reddit account or to a verified email address associated
with your Reddit account. If we deny your request, you may appeal our decision by contacting
us at redditdatarequests@reddit.com.

## International Data Transfers

Reddit is a global platform with operations across the world. We process and store
information on servers located in the United States, and we may transfer it to our
affiliates, service providers, and other third parties located in various countries
depending on factors such as the locations of our users and operational needs.

When we transfer the personal data of users in the EEA, UK and/or Switzerland to countries
outside these regions, we ensure an adequate level of protection through mechanisms such as
adequacy decisions and the Standard Contractual Clauses (with the UK Addendum or Swiss
equivalent where applicable), along with the supplementary measures where required.

## EU-U.S., UK Extension, and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Frameworks Disclosure

Reddit, Inc., complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF) and the UK
Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Swiss-U.S. DPF) as
set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Reddit, Inc., has certified to the U.S.
Department of Commerce that it adheres to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles
(EU-U.S. DPF Principles) with regard to the processing of personal data received from the
European Union and the United Kingdom in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to
the EU-U.S. DPF. Reddit, Inc., has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it
adheres to the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles) with
regard to the processing of personal data received from Switzerland in reliance on the
Swiss-U.S. DPF. If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the
EU-U.S. DPF Principles and/or the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles, the Principles shall govern. To
learn more about the Data Privacy Framework (DPF) Program, and to view our certification,
please visit https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/ .

Reddit, Inc.’s compliance with the DPF is subject to the investigatory and enforcement
powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. In accordance with the DPF, Reddit, Inc., is
also liable for onward transfers to third parties that process personal information in a way
that does not follow the DPF unless Reddit, Inc., was not responsible for the event giving
rise to any alleged damage.

In some situations, the DPF Framework gives you the right to invoke binding arbitration. You
can do this to resolve complaints not resolved by other means, as described in Annex I to
the DPF framework . In
compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF and the Swiss-U.S.
DPF, Reddit, Inc., commits to refer unresolved complaints concerning our handling of
personal data received in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S.
DPF and the Swiss-U.S. DPF to JAMS, an alternative dispute resolution provider based in the
United States. If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your DPF Principles-related
complaint from us, or if we have not addressed your DPF Principles-related complaint to your
satisfaction, please visit https://www.jamsadr.com/dpf-dispute-resolution for more information or to file a complaint. The services of JAMS are provided at no cost to
you.

## Additional Information for EEA, Swiss, and UK Users

If you live in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or Switzerland, Reddit Netherlands B.V. is
the controller of information processed in connection with the Reddit platform and this
policy. If you live in the United Kingdom (“UK”), Reddit, Inc., is the data controller and
Reddit UK Limited is Reddit’s UK GDPR Article 27 Representative.

Users in the EEA, Switzerland, and UK have the right to request access to, rectification of,
or erasure of their personal data; to data portability in certain circumstances; to request

the “ Your Rights and Choices" section above.
EEA and Swiss users also have the right to lodge a complaint with their local supervisory
authority.

As required by applicable law, we collect and process information about individuals in the
EEA, Switzerland, and UK only where we have a legal basis for doing so. Our legal bases
depend on the Services you use and how you use them.

## Additional Information for California & Other US State Users

Some US state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), as amended,
require us to provide residents with some additional information and rights, which we
address in this section.

In the last 12 months, we collected the following categories of personal information from
residents, depending on the Services used:

- Identifiers and account information, like your Reddit username, email address, phone
number, IP address, and cookie information.
- Commercial information, including information about transactions you undertake with us.
- Internet or other electronic network activity information, such as information about your
activity on our Services and limited information about your activity on the services of
advertisers who use our advertising technology.
- Geolocation information based on your IP address.
- Your messages with other users (for example, private messages, private chats, and
modmail).
- Audiovisual information in pictures, audio, or video content submitted to Reddit.
- Professional or employment-related information or demographic information, but only if you
explicitly provide it to us, such as by filling out a survey.
- Inferences we make based on other collected data, for purposes such as recommending
content, advertising, and analytics.

You can find more information about (a) what we collect and sources of that information in
the “What Information We Collect” section of this notice, (b) the business and commercial
purposes for collecting that information in the “How We Use Your Information” section, and
(c) the categories of third parties with whom we share that information and the purpose for
sharing that information in the “How We Share Your Information” section.

Depending on your jurisdiction, and subject to exceptions and limitations provided by local
law, in addition to the rights listed in “ Your Rights and Choices ” above, you may have: the right to opt out of any sales or sharing of your personal
information, to request access to and information about our data practices, and to request
deletion or correction of your personal information, as well as the right not to be
discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights. For users in states with
applicable privacy laws, you may exercise your rights via your Privacy Settings . You can opt out of
the sharing of your personal information with third-party partners, used to measure the
effectiveness of Reddit's advertisements on other platforms by toggling the “Ads off Reddit”
setting to off in your privacy preferences. Reddit does not “sell” personal information as
those terms are defined under applicable state privacy laws. Reddit does not have knowledge
that it “sells” or “shares” the personal information of users under 16 years of age. We do
not use or disclose sensitive personal information except to provide you the Services or as
otherwise permitted by applicable regulations. We do not engage in profiling of consumers in
furtherance of automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects as
those terms are defined in applicable regulations.

You may exercise your rights to access, delete, or correct your personal information as
described in the “ Your Rights and Choices ”
section of this notice. When you make a request, we will verify your identity by asking you
to sign into your account or if necessary by requesting additional information from you. You
may also make a rights request using an authorized agent. If you submit a rights request
from an authorized agent who does not provide a valid power of attorney, we may ask the
authorized agent to provide proof that you gave the agent signed permission to submit the
request to exercise rights on your behalf. In the absence of a valid power of attorney, we
may also require you to verify your own identity directly with us or confirm to us that you
otherwise provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request. If you have any
questions or concerns, you may reach us using the methods described under “ Your Rights and Choices ” or by emailing us at redditdatarequests@reddit.com .

The CCPA requires us to disclose certain metrics about the various requests we receive, such
as how many specific requests we received from California residents in the last calendar
year. See our CCPA Metrics Disclosure .
