Opting-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information
Because the term “sale” is defined broadly under various state privacy laws, we want to be clear about the ways in which we share information that may be considered a sale or sharing under the various laws.
We provide Authorized Developers the opportunity to work with Geocaching HQ to provide a broader range of tools for the benefit of the geocaching community, and, through the use of certain marketing cookies, we allow targeted ads to be placed on our website to support the free use of Geocaching.com. Additional information is available in our Privacy Policy.
If you wish to opt out of the uses described above, please follow the directions below :
-
Choose Authorizations and check the “Do not share...” option to stop sharing with Geocaching Authorized Developers.
Under various state privacy laws, information we share with Geocaching Authorized Developers for the purpose of creating a broader ecosystem of geocaching applications and websites is considered a “sale” of personal information.
-
Choose Cookies and select the option to withdraw your consent for advertising cookies.
The ads that help support free use of the Geocaching.com website are also considered a “sale” because the third-party ad networks responsible for the ads use cookies to help serve content that may be targeted to you.
You can also fill out this webform and ask to opt-out of the sale of your information. Opt-out using the webform may take up to 15 days. Please note: the webform cannot be used to opt-out of cookies.
