"We may share your personal information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, including cloud hosting, analytics, payment processing, customer support, and marketing services. We may also share your information in connection with a corporate transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.— Excerpt from Cohere's Cohere Privacy Policy
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages GDPR Article 28 regarding data processor agreements, Article 44 et seq. regarding cross-border data transfers, and CCPA provisions on service providers and third-party disclosures. The distinction between processors and independent controllers is relevant to determining whether GDPR Article 28 agreements are required with each disclosed third party. The FTC and relevant EU supervisory authorities are the primary enforcement bodies. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The enumeration of service provider categories without naming specific vendors is standard industry practice but creates a data mapping challenge for organizations that require a complete inventory of sub-processors. The corporate transaction provision is standard but operationally significant because it permits transfer of personal data to an acquiring entity without individual notice or consent, subject to the policy's terms. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: GDPR requires that transfers to sub-processors be governed by Article 28-compliant data processing agreements and that cross-border transfers rely on an adequate transfer mechanism. EU and UK enterprise customers should verify that Cohere maintains current sub-processor lists and that DPAs with sub-processors are in place. California users should evaluate whether third-party disclosures described here constitute sharing under CCPA. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers should request Cohere's current sub-processor list and evaluate each listed party against their own vendor risk frameworks. The corporate transaction clause may trigger notification obligations under some enterprise agreements and should be reviewed by procurement and legal teams. Data processing addenda should address sub-processor change notification periods and objection rights. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should request Cohere's sub-processor list and ensure that the categories of third parties described in this provision are reflected in their own records of processing activities. The corporate transaction provision should be flagged for review if the organization has contractual data localization or confidentiality requirements that could be affected by a change in Cohere's ownership.
