"We may update this policy from time to time. When we change the policy in a material way, we will contact you via your email contact information on file.Excerpt from Boston Dynamics's Privacy Policy
1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: GDPR requires that data subjects be informed of material changes to data processing practices; email notification to an on-file address is a common mechanism but may not satisfy GDPR requirements if contact information is stale. CCPA similarly requires updated privacy notices to reflect current practices. The FTC Act applies to representations about notification practices. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. Email notification of material changes is a standard industry practice. The provision does not specify a notice period prior to changes taking effect, which may warrant review under applicable law. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EEA individuals have heightened exposure if email notification alone is deemed insufficient under GDPR for certain categories of processing changes. California residents should verify that the California-specific policy linked in Section 12 is also updated consistent with any material changes. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: B2B customers relying on the privacy policy as part of their vendor risk framework should establish processes to monitor policy update notifications and assess whether received notifications trigger contract review or data mapping update obligations. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should maintain current email contact information with Boston Dynamics to ensure receipt of material change notifications, and should establish a policy review process triggered upon receipt of such notifications.
