Privacy Policy

CRITICAL
FIRST SEEN 2026-08-11 · VERSION 20260811_rev01 · FIRST CAPTURED VERSION

What changed, in plain language

How reviews are made

This update adds an entire California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) section to Britannica's privacy policy — text that was not present in the previously tracked version. The new section spells out that Britannica collects identifiers, internet activity, geolocation, student education records, and inferences about you, and that in the past 12 months it has sold identifiers, internet activity, geolocation data, and inferences to advertising partners. It also lets Britannica share your data with affiliates, contractors, data aggregators, and partners, and transfer it in a merger or bankruptcy. You can opt out of sales with a "Do Not Sell My Info" link or by email, but the opt-out has holes: it does not cover data already sold (beyond the prior 90 days), it does not stop all ad targeting, and you must redo it on every device and browser. The section also says that simply continuing to use Britannica after a policy change means you accept it. Because this text appeared all at once, some of it may reflect existing practices only now being disclosed rather than brand-new practices — but as written, it is the first time these terms appear in the tracked policy.

Changes that may affect you

Britannica sells your identifiers, location, and browsing activity to advertisersCRITICAL
DATA SHARING

The policy now says outright that in the last 12 months Britannica sold four kinds of personal data collected on its ad-supported services: identifiers (like cookie IDs and device advertising IDs), internet activity, geolocation data, and inferences it has drawn about you. Selling location data and identifiers lets outside ad companies build a profile of where you go and what you read. You can stop future sales, but only if you take action yourself.

“Except with respect to our Institutional Services, in the preceding twelve (12) months, the Company has sold the following categories of personal information collected through our ad-supported Services”

What you can do — Click the "Do Not Sell My Info" link at the bottom of any Britannica page, and repeat it on every device and browser you use. You can also email Britannica's privacy address (listed in the policy) to submit an opt-out request in writing.

Your data can go to affiliates, data aggregators, and marketing partnersSERIOUS
DATA SHARING

Beyond ad sales, Britannica lists "data aggregators" — companies whose business is combining data about people from many sources — as a category it may share your information with, along with affiliates, contractors, and partners who sell products alongside Britannica. Once data reaches an aggregator, it is very hard to track where it ends up.

“Data aggregators.”

What you can do — Opt out of sales using the "Do Not Sell My Info" link, and submit a "Shine the Light" request by email to find out which third parties got your data for their own marketing.

Location data and student education records are collectedMATERIAL
DATA COLLECTION

The disclosure table confirms Britannica collects geolocation data and non-public education information covered by FERPA — the kind of school record data that comes from classroom and student products. It also collects inferences, meaning guesses about your interests and characteristics built from your behavior. Location and education records are sensitive, especially for students using Britannica in school.

“Non-public education information (per the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. Section 1232g, 34 C.F.R. Part 99))”

What you can do — Turn off location permissions for Britannica apps in your phone settings, and if you or your child uses Britannica through a school, ask the school what student data it sends to Britannica.

Britannica can change this policy anytime and your continued use means you agreedSERIOUS
UNILATERAL CHANGES

Britannica reserves the right to change the privacy notice whenever it wants, with no promise to email you or give advance warning. Posting the new version on its site is enough. If you keep using Britannica afterward, you are treated as having accepted the change — even if you never saw it.

“Your continued use of our websites, mobile applications, and other products, services and platforms”

What you can do — Check https://corporate.britannica.com/privacy-policy/ periodically for a new effective date, especially before sharing new personal information.

The opt-out has gaps and must be redone on every deviceMATERIAL
OTHER

Even after you click "Do Not Sell My Info," Britannica keeps sharing some data with the same ad partners (relabeled as "service providers"), and the opt-out does not undo sales that happened more than 90 days before you opted out. Your choice is stored per browser and per device, so clearing cookies or switching phones wipes it — and clearing cookies is explicitly described as a way to opt back in to sales.

“it will not opt you out of the use of previously collected and sold personal information (except for personal information sold within 90 days prior to your exercising your right to opt out) or all interest-based advertising”

What you can do — Re-do the "Do Not Sell My Info" opt-out on each browser and device, and re-check it after clearing cookies. Also use http://optout.aboutads.info and http://optout.networkadvertising.org, plus the AppChoices app for mobile.

Nine exceptions let Britannica keep data after a deletion requestMINOR
DATA RETENTION

You can ask Britannica to delete your data, but it can refuse under nine broad exceptions, including "internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations" and other lawful internal uses compatible with why you gave the data. These are the standard exceptions California law allows, but they are wide enough that a deletion request may not erase everything.

“We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:”

What you can do — When you request deletion, ask Britannica in writing to confirm exactly what was deleted and what it kept, and under which exception.

Access requests are limited to twice a year and look back only 12 monthsMINOR
OTHER

You can only ask for a copy of your data twice in any 12-month period, and Britannica will only report on the 12 months before your request. Anything older than that will not appear in the answer. Britannica can also charge a fee if it decides your request is excessive or repetitive.

“You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period.”

What you can do — Make your access request count — ask for all categories and the specific pieces of data in one request rather than several small ones.

Your data transfers if Britannica is sold or goes bankruptMATERIAL
DATA SHARING

If Britannica merges, restructures, is sold, or goes through bankruptcy, your personal information is treated as a business asset that can be handed to the buyer. Whoever buys it may have different privacy practices than Britannica does today.

“To evaluate or conduct a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of the Company's assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by the Company about our Website users is among the assets transferred.”

What you can do — If you want to limit exposure, request deletion of your data before closing your account rather than just letting the account sit unused.

  6. + ADDEDOpt-out tools described, with limits

    A "Do Not Sell My Info" link and an opt-out email address are provided. The policy also spells out what the opt-out does not do: it does not undo past sales older than 90 days, does not stop all targeted advertising, and must be repeated on each device and browser.

  8. + ADDEDNine reasons Britannica can refuse to delete your data

    Deletion requests can be denied to finish a transaction, catch fraud, fix bugs, protect free speech, follow the law, do research, or for internal uses that fit why you gave the data.

  9. + ADDEDNo punishment for using your privacy rights

    Britannica can change this notice at any time by posting an update. If you keep using the site or apps after that, you are treated as having accepted the new terms.

34
35The Company will not collect additional categories of personal information or use the personal information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you notice.
36
37**Sharing Personal Information**
38
39The Company may disclose your personal information to a third-party for a business purpose or sell your personal information, subject to your right to opt-out of those sales (see '_Sales of Personal Information_' below). When we disclose personal information for a business purpose, we enter a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract. The CCPA prohibits third parties who purchase the personal information we hold from reselling it unless you have received explicit notice and an opportunity to opt-out of further sales (see '_Sales of Personal Information_' below).

41We may share your personal information with the following categories of third parties:
42
43- Subsidiaries and affiliates.
44- Contractors and service providers.

67The Company and our advertising partners collect the personal information identified above (such as the cookies stored on your browser, the advertising identifier on your mobile device, or the IP address of your device) when you visit our websites, apps, and other products, services and platforms, or open our emails. We, and our partners, use this information to tailor and deliver ads to you on our websites, apps, emails, and other products, services and platforms, or to help tailor ads to you when you visit others' sites (or use others' apps). To tailor ads that may be more relevant to you, we and/or our partners may share the information we collect with third parties.
68
69If you do not wish for us or our partners to sell your personal information to third parties for advertising purposes, click the **"Do Not Sell My Info"** link accessible from the pages of our websites, apps, and other products, services and platforms. Note that although we will not sell your personal information after you click that button, we will continue to share some personal information with our partners (who will function as our service providers in such instance) to help us perform advertising-related functions such as, but not limited to, measuring the effectiveness of our ads, managing how many times you may see an ad, reporting on the performance of our ads, ensuring services are working correctly and securely, providing aggregate statistics and analytics, improving when and where you may see ads and/or reducing ad fraud. If you access our websites, apps, and other products, services and platforms from other devices or browsers, visit our "**Do Not Sell My Info**" link from those devices or browsers to ensure your choice applies to the data collected when you use those devices or browsers. Additionally, although clicking the "**Do Not Sell My Info**" link will opt you out of the sale of your personal information for advertising purposes, it will not opt you out of the use of previously collected and sold personal information (except for personal information sold within 90 days prior to your exercising your right to opt out) or all interest-based advertising. If you would like more information about how to opt out of interest-based advertising in desktop and mobile browsers on a particular device, please visit [http://optout.aboutads.info/#/](http://optout.aboutads.info/) and [http://optout.networkadvertising.org/#](http://optout.networkadvertising.org/).

70
71**Your Rights and Choices**
72
73The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.
74
75**_Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights_**
76

81- Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
82- The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
83- The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).
84- If we disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, we will identify the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.
85
86**Deletion Request Rights**
87
88You have the right to request that the Company delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.
89
90We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:
91
921. Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
932. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
943. Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
954. Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
965. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
976. Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information's deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research's achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
987. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
998. Comply with a legal obligation.
1009. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.
101
102**_Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights_**
103
104To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:
105
106- Calling us at (800) 323-1229; Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (U.S. Central Time)
107- Emailing us at [\[email protected\]](https://corporate.britannica.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#6f0b1f002f0a0d410c0002)
108
109Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.
110
111You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:
112
113- Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.
114- Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
115
116We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.
117
118Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.
119
120We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.
121
122**_Response Timing and Format_**
123
124We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing in accordance with CCPA requirements.
125
126If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.
127
128 Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request's receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
129
130 We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
131
132**_Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights_**
133
134If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any time (the "right to opt-out"). We do not sell the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the "right to opt-in") from either the consumer who is between 13 and 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers who opt-in to personal information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time.
135
136To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by emailing [\[email protected\]](https://corporate.britannica.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#b5c5c7dcc3d4d6ccf5d0d79bd6dad8).
137
138Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize personal information sales. However, you may change your mind and opt back in to personal information sales at any time by clearing cookies from your browser or emailing [\[email protected\]](https://corporate.britannica.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#2555574c5344465c6540470b464a48).
139
140 You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We will only use personal information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.
141
142**Non-Discrimination**
143
144We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:
145
146- Deny you goods or services.
147- Charge you different prices or rates for like-goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
148- Provide you a different level or quality of like-goods or services.
149- Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for like-goods or services or a different level or quality of like-goods or services.
150
151However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your Personal Information's value and contain written terms that describe the program's material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time. **We do not currently provide any financial incentives.**
152
153**Other California Privacy Rights**
154
155 California's "Shine the Light" law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our websites, mobile applications, and other products, services and platforms that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to [\[email protected\]](https://corporate.britannica.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#f7938798b79295d994989a) or write us at: Encyclopaedia Britannica, Inc., Attn: M.G. Kim, DPO, 325 N. LaSalle Street, Suite 200, Chicago, Illinois 60654.
156
157**Changes to Our Privacy Notice**
158
159The Company reserves the right to amend this privacy notice at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this privacy notice, we will post the updated notice on our website at [https://corporate.britannica.com/privacy-policy/](https://corporate.britannica.com/privacy-policy/) and update the notice's effective date. **Your continued use of our websites, mobile applications, and other products, services and platforms** **following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes**.
