ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Privacy policy update and notification obligations are governed by GDPR Art. 13 and 14 (transparency — controllers must inform data subjects of any changes to processing purposes); FTC Act Section 5 (deceptive practices where policy changes result in data use inconsistent with representations made at collection); CCPA §1798.130(a)(5) (right to know includes the right to be informed of changes). The absence of a re-consent requirement for material changes may be insufficient under GDPR where the lawful basis is consent.
