Change Summary
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.
