California Residents: Did Babylist Share What You Searched?

It appears that words typed into babylist.com's search box reach outside advertising companies.

It appears that a word typed into babylist.com's search box is received by three outside advertising companies: Microsoft Bing, Google Ads and TikTok. As the page loads, before a visitor types anything, the site appears to send data to eleven outside companies, with no request for permission. Many Babylist users are expecting parents, so what they search for can reveal a pregnancy, a due date or a family's plans.

Who can sign up: California residents who searched, built a registry, shopped or signed up on Babylist's website.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to prove I lost money?: No. California law lets people whose communications were read without consent seek damages without proving they lost money.
Why only California?: This investigation relies on a California privacy law that protects people who live in California. If you live in California now, or lived there when you used Babylist, you can sign up.
What information do you need from me?: Your name, email and phone number, and a few yes-or-no answers. The form also asks for the email address on your Babylist account and your mailing address. Both help us identify your account and present your claim, but neither is required to sign up.
Does it cost anything?: No. There is no upfront cost. We work on contingency, which means we are paid only if your claim succeeds.
I only created a registry, or only shopped. Does it apply?: It may. This investigation focuses on the search box, which anyone can use while building a registry or shopping. If you typed searches on babylist.com while living in California, we would like to hear from you. You do not need to have bought anything.
I don't remember seeing a cookie banner. Does that matter?: That is common. The site does not appear to show a banner asking permission. Either way, sign up and we will review what the site showed and disclosed.
Will I have to go to court?: No. We handle the filings and communications on your behalf.
