Badge & Risikobewertung
  • Badge: ⚠️ Caution
  • Red Flags:
    • RF1 — Own advertising / cross-service profiling
    • RF2 — High-risk third-country exposure without meaningful mitigation
  • Risk Indicators:
    • Own-purpose data use; cross-site tracking; high-risk international transfers
Begründung & Quellen

Key Facts: Disqus (Zeta Global) tracks commenters across all Disqus-enabled websites and uses this cross-site behavioural data for advertising targeting and audience building on behalf of Disqus/Zeta (RF1). US company; US transfer (RF2). California AG enforcement action against Disqus (2021) for undisclosed data selling.

Framework Note (v2.2): FRAMEWORK NOTE (v2.2): RF2 (high-risk third-country exposure) is recorded here as a significant risk factor and lowers the domain E score. Under the revised framework, RF2 alone does not trigger Caution — the Caution badge for this service is driven by RF1 / RF3 / RF4 (as noted above). The US transfer risk (where applicable) is covered by DPF participation and/or SCCs, which GDPR treats as a compliant transfer mechanism.
