Consumers have the right to direct a business not to sell or share their personal information with third parties. This right must be prominently disclosed in the privacy policy. Businesses may not sell or share personal information of consumers under 16 without opt-in consent (under 13 requires parental consent). Once a consumer opts out, the business must honor the direction unless the consumer subsequently provides consent.
