California Consumer Privacy Act Notice

Effective Date: December 5, 2025

As a supplement to the other information provided in the Privacy Notice, we provide this California Consumer Privacy Act Notice (“California Notice”) for consumers in California pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act and collectively referred to as, “CCPA”).

Unless otherwise noted, the disclosures below describe how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information in the past twelve (12) months. As used in this California Notice, the term “personal information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a “consumer” or “household,” as those terms are defined by the CCPA. Personal information does not include information that is publicly available, de-identified, or aggregated. GoFundMe commits to maintaining and using de-identified information in its de-identified form and not to attempt to re-identify the information except as permitted by the CCPA.

If you are a California resident, the CCPA requires us to provide you with the following additional information about: (1) the sources from which we collect personal information; (2) the purpose for which we use each category of personal information and “sensitive personal information” (as defined in the CCPA) we collect; and (3) the categories of other parties to which we (a) disclose such information for a business purpose, (b) “share” information for “cross-context behavioral advertising,” and/or (c) “sell” such information. We may collect personal information directly from you when you provide us information in person, online, or through electronic forms; through our customer care efforts; automatically through our Services via cookies and other tracking technologies; and from our service providers, vendors and suppliers, affiliates, or other individuals and businesses.

Your Rights to Opt Out of the Sale and Sharing of Personal Information:

Under the CCPA, “sharing” is defined as disclosure of a consumer’s personal information obtained from the consumer’s activity across websites to third parties for the purpose of cross-context behavioral advertising (or targeted advertising), and “selling” is defined as the disclosure of personal information to third parties in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration. When you interact with the Services, we collect information, including device information, pages viewed, links clicked or shared on social media and other similar information to try to make a user’s experience simple and meaningful. As such, when you visit our Services, our web server, third party business providers, and/or the social networking services integrated into the Services, may use cookies or other electronic technologies (such as web beacons or pixel tags). We use some of this technology to provide you with advertisements for our Services when you visit other websites and to provide us with analytics regarding our Services.

Our use of third-party analytics services and online advertising services may result in the disclosure of online identifiers and other information for cross-context behavioral advertising and thus may be considered a “share” and “sale” of personal information under the CCPA. The categories of information “sold” or “shared” for advertising may include (1) identifiers; (2) donation information; (3) device, internet or other electronic network activity information; (4) browsing history; and (5) inferred general location, such as data derived from your IP address.

You have the right to opt-out of GoFundMe selling or sharing your information as defined under the CCPA. To opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information through tracking technologies, please click here or click the Manage Cookie Preferences link at the bottom of your page. If you are a California consumer and wish to opt-out of the offline sale of your Personal Information, you may exercise this right by clicking the Your Privacy Choices link here.

We do not knowingly “sell” or “share” the personal information of children under 16. We do not use or disclose Sensitive Personal Information for purposes to which the right to limit use or disclosure applies under the CCPA.

Other CCPA Rights: California residents also have the right to receive information about the financial incentives that we offer to you, if any. Please see the “Your Privacy Rights” section of the Privacy Notice for information about the additional rights you have with respect to your personal information under California law and how to exercise them. If you are using the Services, you may also exercise rights by (1) visiting the “Your Privacy Choices”; or (2) emailing us at privacy-requests@gofundme.com.

You may also grant us access to your precise geolocation information through your mobile device settings. You can opt out of the processing of this information by adjusting your device settings.
