Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Users' account information and content may be accessed, retained, or shared with third parties by Dun & Bradstreet based on either a legal requirement or its own good faith judgment that it is reasonably necessary.

Interpretive note: The excerpt is truncated after 'reasonably necessary to'; the full clause likely enumerates specific purposes that qualify as reasonably necessary but those cannot be stated here.

The updated Terms of Use no longer include explicit language describing cookie preferences, consent options (Agree and Proceed, Required Only, Manage Choices), or chat functionality data collection requirements. Previously, the document stated that users could manage cookies or enable chat functionality through specific settings. This removal means users navigating the website will not find these disclosures in the Terms of Use itself, though cookie and chat functionality may continue to operate according to the Cookie Policy, which remains referenced separately.
