Chime says it may sell or share my information. What does that mean?

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) requires Chime to inform you if personal information is sold or shared, as defined by the law. Chime uses tracking technologies on its website and mobile app to support analytics and personalize your experience. Under the CCPA’s broad definitions, sharing data with third-party analytics or advertising providers in exchange for their services may be considered a “sale” or “share,” even if no money is exchanged. Chime does not sell personal information in the traditional sense.

 

Does Chime sell my personal information? 

Chime doesn’t provide information that you might typically think of as personal information to third parties in exchange for money (e.g., address, account numbers, or Social Security number). 

Rather, the information shared doesn’t identify you by name, but is a unique identifier such as an advertising ID, cookie ID, or hashed email address. This is shared for advertising and/or analytics purposes, which may be used to track your online activities and to help us improve our business and marketing efforts.
