If you want to know this information, it would be stupid to just read the press release. This information is contained in a privacy policy, which is much more detailed than a press release, which never contains details like this which - let’s be honest - most people don’t give a shit about.
Persona’s privacy policy is here. It does not cover selling your data to reddit or any other company - which means that under EU and California law, doing so is not legal. It does say it will share your data among affiliates such as to “archive” it - but I don’t really see the issue with that specifically. The fact that your personal data is sitting in an Amazon S3 bucket is not of itself a problem, except if there is a problem with S3. You’re exposed to similar risks if Persona keeps all the data itself.
They specifically mention that they use your data for marketing and advertising, and they also say in the CCPA section that California may view their activities as “selling data”, as “some of our data sharing described in this privacy policy may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under those definitions, such as disclosing Personal Data to third parties for our own advertising purposes.”
So, yeah, they totally do sell all your data to everyone who is paying.
Very careful wording there - this leaves them open to…
a. Sell it to Reddit.
b. Pass it to their partner company who “archives” it.
c. Sell it to someone else.
