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-publisher data collection for advertising; high-risk international transfers
Begründung & Quellen

Key Facts: ShareThis social sharing widgets collect cross-site user data (pages visited, content interacted with) which ShareThis uses to build and sell audience segments to advertisers — a textbook own-purpose cross-site profiling operation (RF1). US company; US transfer (RF2). ShareThis has faced FTC scrutiny.

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.
