What it is

By submitting any personal information on D&B's website, you are consenting to that information being transferred to other countries for processing as part of D&B's normal business operations.

This analysis describes what Dun & Bradstreet's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

For EU and UK users, international data transfers are subject to strict legal requirements under GDPR, and a general website consent embedded in terms of use may not constitute a sufficient legal basis for such transfers under applicable law.

Interpretive note: Whether this consent mechanism satisfies GDPR Chapter V transfer requirements depends on supervisory authority interpretation and whether D&B relies on additional safeguards documented in its Privacy Policy; the document does not specify those safeguards.
