Clause-Level Changes

New Provisions Added
Legitimate Interests as a Legal Basis for Processing
Medium

This new provision explicitly discloses HubSpot's reliance on legitimate interests as a legal basis under GDPR, providing transparency about processing activities that may not require explicit consent.

Full clause text available with Compliance. See Compliance →
Data Sharing with Third-Party Service Providers and Partners
Medium

This separated provision provides more detailed and structured disclosure of third-party sharing practices, including explicit requirement that third parties comply with legal obligations, which was previously embedded in a broader provision.

Full clause text available with Compliance. See Compliance →
Provisions Removed
Third-Party Data Sharing with Advertising and Analytics Partners
High

This standalone high-severity provision was replaced by separate, more granular provisions on data sharing and advertising tracking; the removal of the explicit high-severity classification may indicate reduced emphasis on third-party sharing risks.

Removed clause text available with Compliance. See Compliance →
Use of Data for Product Improvement and AI/ML
Medium

This provision addressing product improvement, analytics, and personalization is no longer explicitly stated, though similar practices may now be covered under the new 'Legitimate Interests' provision or implied in other sections.

Removed clause text available with Compliance. See Compliance →
Provisions Modified
Dual Controller/Processor Framework
High

Simplified and clarified the controller-processor relationship, removing references to 'Customer Data' and 'Contacts' terminology in favor of more standardized 'personal data' language, and emphasized regulatory compliance responsibility.

Before/after clause text available with Compliance. See Compliance →
International Data Transfers via Standard Contractual Clauses
Medium

Removed reference to Privacy Shield framework and simplified to focus on SCCs and equivalent mechanisms; added Switzerland explicitly; removed the 'at least one of' multiple safeguards language in favor of a more singular approach.

Before/after clause text available with Compliance. See Compliance →
Cookies and Advertising Tracking
Medium

Removed detailed technical cookie definition, completed the truncated text about browser instructions, added explicit warning about service limitations if cookies are refused, and integrated third-party advertising partner disclosure into this provision.

Before/after clause text available with Compliance. See Compliance →
Data Subject Rights Request Process
Medium

Broadened from GDPR-specific (EEA/UK only) to location-agnostic language ('depending on your location and subject to applicable law'), completed the truncated list with explicit rights including objection, restriction, portability, and consent withdrawal, and provided a specific contact email address.

Before/after clause text available with Compliance. See Compliance →
CCPA California Resident Rights and Data Sale Opt-Out
Medium

Added explicit reference to CCPA as 'amended by' CPRA, simplified 'use, disclose, and sell' to just 'collect', added new right to correct inaccurate personal information (CPRA-specific), and reworded non-discrimination right from 'for exercising' to 'against for exercising'.

Before/after clause text available with Compliance. See Compliance →
Data Retention Policy
Low

Removed the parenthetical example explaining legal obligations retention and changed terminology from 'personal information' to 'personal data'; severity downgraded from medium to low.
