They're very specific about the actual meaning of "your data". By any basic understanding of "selling your data", Honey does exactly that.

> We may also share information in the following cases

> in an aggregate or anonymized format that does not identify any specific person;

These cases are ORs, not ANDs. Whenever any company sells your personal info, it's always anonymized and aggregated. I can't just buy Facebook or Google data of a specific person, and I think almost anyone would agree those companies do "sell your data."

Also the 5th item in that list says they may sell your data if:

> with a buyer or successor if Honey is involved in a merger, acquisition, or similar corporate transaction. If that happens, you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on the Website of any change in ownership, as well as any choices you will have as a result.



You can just not use the service or delete your data. It's a CA company that by law must abide by CCPA so you know your data is deleted except for regulatory purposes


I don't use the service, and for the reasons I mentioned in my comment. But saying they do not sell your data because some non legally binding webpage says so is not true and that is the point of my comment.
