Glassdoor updated its privacy policy to align with Data Privacy Framework (DPF) requirements for EU, UK, and Swiss individuals. The revised policy adds explicit rights for individuals to access, correct, amend, and delete personal information transferred to the US under the DPF, establishes a complaint resolution process through BBB National Programs, and clarifies opt-out and opt-in mechanisms for data sharing with third parties. The policy also removed a reference to a public bug bounty program and corrected a typo.

What this means for you

Generated by a model from the captured document; not read by a person

The updated policy establishes explicit rights for EU, UK, and Swiss individuals to access, correct, amend, and delete personal information that Glassdoor holds about them, particularly data transferred to the United States under the Data Privacy Framework. The policy also creates a formal complaint resolution pathway: individuals can first contact Glassdoor directly, then escalate unresolved complaints to BBB National Programs, and under certain conditions invoke binding arbitration. The policy adds an opt-out choice before Glassdoor shares data with third parties or uses it for purposes other than originally collected, and specifies that Glassdoor will respond to data removal requests within a reasonable timeframe. You can request to limit use and disclosure of your personal information by following instructions in the 'Controlling Your Personal Data' section.

What you can do

→ Request access to your personal information by following instructions in the 'Controlling Your Personal Data' section

→ Request correction, amendment, or deletion of your personal information using the same process

→ Opt out of data sharing with third parties or new uses of your data before Glassdoor shares or repurposes it

→ File a privacy complaint with Glassdoor directly, then escalate to BBB National Programs if unresolved
