Reddit collects your behaviour, device data, and inferences about your demographics, and shares some of it with ad-tech partners — but it explicitly doesn't sell your personal data, deletes IP addresses after 100 days, doesn't track precise location, and extends privacy rights to all users worldwide, not just those in regulated regions.
