Cloudflare shares your personal data with third-party service providers for functions like billing and marketing, and may also transfer your data as part of a business sale, merger, or acquisition.

The clause establishes the operational scope of data sharing beyond Cloudflare's direct control, permitting disclosure to service providers and enabling information transfer during corporate restructuring events. This defines the circumstances under which user data may be accessed by external parties in the normal course of business operations and during ownership or structural changes.
Your personal data could be transferred to a new company if Cloudflare is acquired or merged, potentially under different privacy terms, which is a standard but material risk in any platform relationship.

"Cloudflare may share your information with third-party vendors and other service providers that perform services on our behalf, such as billing, marketing, and analytics. We may also disclose your information in connection with, or during negotiations concerning, a corporate merger, consolidation, the sale of substantially all of our stock or assets, financing, acquisition, divestiture or dissolution of all or a portion of our business.— Excerpt from Cloudflare's Cloudflare Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: GDPR requires that data transfers in corporate transactions maintain lawful basis and that users be informed of changes to data controller identity. CCPA requires disclosure of categories of third parties with whom data is shared. The FTC Act applies to deceptive representations about data sharing practices. Corporate transaction data transfers may engage merger notification requirements in various jurisdictions. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. Third-party service provider sharing for operational purposes is standard and expected. The merger and acquisition carve-out is a common provision but may create transition risks if the acquiring entity changes data practices. GDPR requires that data subjects be informed of controller changes with adequate notice. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU users have the right to be informed of controller changes under GDPR. California users have the right to know categories of third parties receiving their data. In an acquisition scenario, the acquiring entity would need to assess whether existing consent and legal bases remain valid for their intended processing purposes. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers should assess whether their DPAs with Cloudflare include change-of-control provisions requiring notice and an opportunity to terminate or renegotiate in the event of an acquisition. Standard commercial practice includes such provisions in enterprise agreements. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should monitor for Cloudflare corporate transaction announcements that could trigger data transfer obligations and assess whether existing consent mechanisms and legal bases would remain valid post-transaction. Privacy impact assessments for any corporate transaction should include Cloudflare data flows.
