>> Where does it say they will sell the data? I missed that in my reading. My interpretation is companies will say "show my product to users with this criteria" and it will. This is the same as fb and Google ads, right?
This is IMHO an important distinction. AFAICT Google doesn't sell data to advertisers, they target the ads for the advertisers. It's still annoying, but it's way less offensive than all the data sharing/selling that goes on.
- lesuorac 3y agoWell, Google does sell user data (see Squarespace acquisition [1]) but sure not yet to an advertiser. IIUC, it's a much more vetted system than most online advertisers do. Chase has some screenshots [2] which would imply they're not grabbing data at runtime from a 3rd party and it seems very similar to their experiences "adverts" [3]. I think PayPal's Offers is probably the best parallel.

- nerdix 3y agoIf Google sells a part of its business to another company then the data required to operate that business must be included in the sale. That goes without saying. And a lot of companies "sell user data" by that metric. Also, there is no indication that Squarespace has received any user data that is not required for them to take over Google Domain operations (so they would get a user's domains, billing info, etc but not their Google Maps location or their search history).
