You may also have the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information and the use or disclosure of your personal information for purposes of serving you advertisements based on your activity across other sites and services (“cross-context behavioral advertising” or “targeted advertising”). Although CapCut does not sell your personal information for money, we do process and disclose your personal information collected in the CapCut app to third parties for cross-context behavioral or targeted advertising purposes. You may opt-out of the use and disclosure of your personal information for these advertising purposes by navigating to “Your Privacy Choices” in your in-app settings and switching off the applicable toggle. CapCut does not knowingly sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising of users under 16 where restricted by applicable law.


Note that you may also exercise your right to opt-out by enabling the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”), which is a browser-based opt-out preference signal that enables you to communicate your privacy preferences to the websites you visit. For more information about the GPC, please visit their website here. If we recognize that you have enabled the GPC on your browser, our policy is to opt you out of the use or disclosure of your personal information for cross-context behavioral and targeted advertising purposes for the browser on which you have GPC enabled. Please note that because the Global Privacy Control is a browser-based mechanism, your opt-out preference will apply only to the browser from which you enabled the signal.


Although some of the information we collect may be considered sensitive personal information, we only process such information in order to provide the Services and within other exemptions under applicable law, such as when we process your sensitive personal information in order to perform the services or provide the goods you request from us.
