NVIDIA

You are agreeing to terms where your non-sensitive data is treated as being sold when shared with ad providers for targeted advertising.

“NVIDIA does not use, sell, or share “sensitive personal information” as defined by California law. However, our sharing of non-sensitive data with advertising providers may qualify as the sale of personal data or the sharing of personal data for purposes of targeted advertising.”

What that means: Your personal information may be sold to advertisers for profit, even if it is only 'non-sensitive' data like your interests or browsing habits.

The document explicitly states that sharing non-sensitive data with advertisers can legally constitute a 'sale' of personal data under regulations like California's CCPA.

You are agreeing to the tracking of your detailed online behavior, including mouse movements and error logs, via your website visits.

“We use this data to ensure reliable responses from our websites... We process this data based on our legitimate interest in making and improving our products and services.”

What that means: Your every move on their site, including mouse clicks and errors, is tracked to build profiles for improvement and legitimate business interests.

NVIDIA collects detailed technical and behavioral data such as IP addresses, error messages, web response times, and mouse movements to track user interactions.

You are agreeing to cross-site identification and ad targeting through hashed identity sharing with partners like Google.

“If you’ve consented to receive marketing communications or recommendations, we share hashed details about your identity with third-party ad providers such as Google...”

What that means: Third parties like Google can recognize you across the web and show you ads based on your known identity, effectively tracking you outside NVIDIA's own sites.

By consenting to marketing, you allow NVIDIA to identify you on third-party platforms using hashed identifiers, linking your identity across different sites for ad targeting.

You are agreeing to having your professional and public data collected from outside sources to enrich their records about you.

“We collect certain personal data from publicly available sources (e.g., the internet) to find individuals and organizations that may be interested in our products or services. The personal data we collect includes names, titles, areas of work... social media handles.”

What that means: They collect your professional details and social media info from outside sources, building a deeper profile of you than you intended to share.

NVIDIA gathers professional and public data from external sources without direct interaction, enriching their profile of you beyond what you give them directly.

You are agreeing to indefinite data retention as long as you maintain any form of engagement with NVIDIA services.

“We retain your personal data for as long as our engagement with you continues... We erase customer and enterprise personal data if there has been no engagement with you for more than five years.”

What that means: If you stop interacting with NVIDIA, your data stays until you hit a five-year idle mark, meaning past interactions remain stored for a significant time.

Data is kept indefinitely while you interact with them, but they provide a specific five-year purge rule for inactive customers.

You are agreeing to policies that allow data collection from users aged 13+ or those with parental permission.

“We only collect data from children who are above the age of digital consent in their jurisdiction (e.g., at least 13 for the United States), or if we have express parental consent...”

What that means: Children over 13 can use the service, and their game play data and session info may be shared with third-party partners.

While they bar under-13 use, they do accept children over 13 or those with parental consent, and share some of their data with GeForce NOW partners.
