You may need to renew your choices each time you clear your cookies, or use a new browser or device.
Although most browsers and devices accept cookies by default, their settings usually allow you to clear and decline cookies. Web browsers often store your preferences in a cookie. Blocking cookies may prevent the services from operating as expected and may also prevent storing your preferences and choices.
Below are links to the cookie opt-out pages of common web browsers. If your web browser is not listed here, you should review your web browser terms to learn more about your cookie choices.
5. Other Choices and Privacy Rights
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to opt out of certain processing activities, request access, rectification, deletion, restriction of processing, portability, objection to legitimate-interest processing or direct marketing, withdrawal of consent, and complaints to data protection authorities. We may need to verify your identity before processing a request. Depending on applicable law, you may also authorize another person or entity to submit a request on your behalf. We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights.
Residents of the U.S., please see Additional Disclosures for U.S. States for more information about the rights available to you.
If you are located outside of the U.S. in a territory with comprehensive data protection laws, including the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, please see Additional Disclosures for International Territories, including the EEA/UK for more information about the rights available to you.
Your Privacy Choices
You may also opt out of marketing emails using the unsubscribe link in the email. Even if you opt out of marketing messages, we may still send transactional or service-related communications.
We, our service providers, business partners, and other third parties may use targeted advertising, which is also referred to as interest-based advertising by the Digital Advertising Alliance. For more information on the choices that may be available to you to opt out of receiving interest-based advertising, please visit:
• Digital Advertising Alliance (Canada)
• European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EU)
• Digital Advertising Alliance (US)
If you opt out of interest-based advertising, some Information will still be collected for other purposes, such as research, analytics, and internal operations. You will also continue to receive contextual advertisements, but they may be less relevant to your interests. Your choice to opt out is device- or browser-specific and you will need to manage your preferences for each device or browser you use. You may also need to make this choice separately on different Services.
6. Retention
We retain Information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide our Services, maintain records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, protect rights and security, prevent fraud, complete transactions, and support business operations.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of Information, the Services involved, legal requirements, and business needs.
7. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Information. However, no system, website, database, or transmission is completely secure.
Where feasible, we use pseudonymous or anonymized Information to help reduce privacy and security risks. We de-identify, aggregate, or anonymize Information so that it no longer identifies you when legally required, including when we no longer have a legal basis to process Personal Information. When we process deidentified Information, we maintain and use it in deidentified form and do not attempt to reidentify it except as permitted by applicable law.
8. International Transfers
We may process and store Personal Information in the United States and other countries that may have privacy laws different from those in your location. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers of Personal Information, such as contractual protections or other legally recognized mechanisms.
9. Third-Party Links and Services
Our Services may link to third-party websites, platforms, apps, or services that we do not control. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party services. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing information to them.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last Updated” date above. If we make material changes, we will provide additional notice where required by law.

Additional Disclosures for U.S. States
Depending on where you reside, there are additional disclosures and certain additional rights regarding your Personal Information, as described below. The rights available to you will depend on the laws of where you live.

In accordance with applicable law, your rights as specified under state law may include the following:
- Right to Delete Your Information. Upon your request, we will delete the Personal Information we have collected from you, subject to certain legally permissible exceptions.
- Right to Know and Access Your Personal Information. You have the right to ask us to confirm whether we process your Personal Information (including, where required under applicable law, information about third parties to whom we disclose Personal Information), to provide more information about how we process and disclose Personal Information, and for a copy of the Personal Information we maintain about you. You may also have the right to receive a list of the third parties we share Personal Information with.
- Right to Correct Inaccurate Personal Information. You have a right to request that we correct inaccurate Personal Information about you.
- Right to Opt Out of the Sale of Your Personal Information. You can tell us not to sell your Personal Information according to applicable law. We do not sell Personal Information of individuals we know to be children as defined by applicable law.
- Right to Opt Out of Sharing or other Use of Your Personal Information for Targeted Advertising. You can ask us not to use or disclose your Personal Information for targeted advertising or for cross-context behavioral advertising. Even if you opt out of targeted advertising, we will continue to collect and use data for other purposes. We do not use or disclose Personal Information of individuals we know to be children as defined by applicable law for targeted advertising.
We do not use or disclose Personal Information for profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you without either your explicit consent or where otherwise permitted by applicable law.
In accordance with disclosures required by Connecticut law, Skydance does not collect, use, and sell your Personal Information for large language model (LLM) developers to train their foundation LLMs.
How to Exercise Your Rights
Where you have the right to do so, you can tell us not to sell your Personal Information or share or otherwise use your Personal Information for targeted advertising by clicking the “Your Privacy Choices” link in the footers of the relevant Service. Our Services also respond to Global Privacy Control signals where appropriate. Opt-outs do not necessarily stop all collection or all advertising. Please note that you may need to renew your choices each time you clear your cookies or use a new browser or device. You may also need to make this choice separately for some of our Services.
You can also contact us by email. When you submit a request, we will usually ask you to provide an email address to verify your identity and prevent fraud. You may also designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. Depending on the nature of the request, we may authenticate the request, such as by requiring a signed written permission from you that authorizes the agent to act on your behalf. A valid power of attorney will constitute signed written permission, but you are not required to obtain a power of attorney to use an authorized agent. Please note that some rights are not absolute. For example, these rights may be limited if fulfilling your request would reveal Personal Information about another person, or if you ask us to delete Personal Information that we are required by law to keep.
If we deny your request or cannot fulfill it, you may appeal our decision by contacting us via privacy@skydance.com to ask us to review your request again. Your email should include “Appeal” in the subject line. You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment if you exercise any of the rights explained in this U.S. State section.
