Glassdoor's privacy policy was updated on July 2, 2026, with several administrative and organizational changes. The policy now identifies Indeed, Inc. as the data controller instead of Glassdoor LLC, and expands the definition of Glassdoor affiliates to include other Indeed services and entities. The UK and EU GDPR representative entries were removed, and minor formatting adjustments were made to data category listings and punctuation throughout the document. These changes reflect Glassdoor's corporate restructuring under Indeed ownership but do not materially alter the types of data collected or how user information is processed.

1 protection removed

Consumers: Users in the UK and EU no longer have a disclosed contact method in the privacy policy to submit GDPR-related requests, though GDPR law itself may still require accessible representation.

What this means for you

The updated policy reorganizes Glassdoor's corporate structure under Indeed, Inc.'s data controller role. This is an administrative restructuring rather than a functional change to what data is collected or how it is used. The removal of UK and EU GDPR representative contact information may affect how users in those regions submit data subject access requests or GDPR-related inquiries, though applicable law likely still requires appropriate representation under GDPR regardless of whether it is listed in the policy. The policy continues to authorize collection of the same categories of data: profile information, job application details, employment preferences, communications, and service activity.

Key Clauses Affected

Data Controller Designation

Shifted from Glassdoor LLC to Indeed, Inc., affecting the legal entity responsible for data processing under GDPR and other data protection laws.

GDPR Representative Disclosure

Removed explicit contact information for UK and EU GDPR representatives, creating ambiguity about how users in those regions exercise data subject rights.

Affiliate Definition

Expanded from listing Indeed and Indeed Flex specifically to including other Indeed services and entities more broadly.
