Google non-personal identifier opt out
Google Platform Provided ID (PPID) is an anonymous user id that we use with our advertising partner Google that allows us to keep your personal identifiable information private while serving you relevant advertising based on your activity on OfferUp.
If you opt-out of PPID you’ll continue to see ads on our platform, but they will be less relevant to you.
Personal information opt-out
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA) gives consumers in those states more control over the personal information that businesses share about them by granting consumers in those states the right to request to opt-out of targeted advertising, cross-contextual advertising, and selling consumer’s information.
While we don’t share personal information in exchange for money, we do allow Google’s online advertising service to collect identifiers (such as cookies and other device identifiers) and internet or other electronic network information (such as the webpage you visited) through the OfferUp Service for the purpose of sending personalized ads to you.
If you are a California or Virginia-based user and do not want to see more relevant advertising (you will continue to see ads), you may indicate your choice by turning on the “Do not sell” toggle in your privacy settings.
