We disclose personal data to third parties for the business purposes described in the How We Use Your Personal Data section above, including for the performance of services on our behalf.

In addition, we may allow certain third parties (such as online advertising services and social networks) to collect your personal data, including your sensitive personal data, via automated technologies on our Consumer Services for the purposes of online advertising or to provide third-party social network features and functionality. You have the right to opt out of disclosing your personal data for these purposes, which may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law.

We will retain your personal data, including sensitive personal data, as described in the How We Secure & Retain Your Personal Data section of our Privacy Policy for Consumer Service.

In some cases, for example, with Rewards by Foursquare, you may have an opportunity to provide personal data on an ongoing basis in exchange for points you may redeem for prizes, gift cards, and sweepstakes entries. You will be notified of the opportunity to earn rewards and allowed to opt in to earn more additional rewards. The rewards relating to the submission and use of personal data are based on our reasonable but sole determination of the estimated value of such information, which is used in accordance with this notice and our Privacy Policy for Consumer Services.

You can opt out of earning additional rewards at any time by following the instructions in the Rewards by Foursquare app. 

Under California law, you may have the right to access, correct, and delete your personal data, limit the use and disclosure of your sensitive personal data, and opt out of the sale of your personal data and the sharing of your personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising. In addition to those rights, Foursquare will also honor all privacy rights outlined in Your Privacy Choices. For information about how to exercise these rights, please visit Your Privacy Choices. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

Foursquare honors privacy rights for all users, regardless of where they are located, and we seek to be transparent about the requests we receive by providing certain metrics. Our global privacy metrics are available here.
