"We may share your personal information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company. In such cases, the acquirer may use your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Notice or a revised privacy notice of which you will be given notice.— Excerpt from Databricks's Databricks Privacy Notice
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Business transaction data sharing implicates GDPR Art. 6(1)(f) (legitimate interests as legal basis for transfer in M&A), Art. 14 (notification obligations when data is obtained from another controller), CCPA §1798.140(d) (business purpose exception may cover asset transfers), and FTC guidance on successor liability in data transactions. In the US, the FTC has specifically addressed M&A data transfers (Toysmart consent order; Radio Shack bankruptcy asset sale) where consumer data was treated as a corporate asset.
