"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.— Excerpt from Fastly's Fastly Privacy Policy
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages GDPR Article 6 lawful basis requirements for processing in the context of business transactions, as well as CCPA requirements that personal information transferred in a merger be used consistent with the original privacy notice or that consumers receive notice and opportunity to opt out. The FTC has historically scrutinized whether post-merger entities honor pre-merger privacy commitments, particularly where those commitments were material to consumer consent. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium-Low. This is a standard clause across the industry. The primary risk arises if an acquiring entity uses the acquired personal data in ways materially inconsistent with this policy without providing adequate notice and choice, which could attract FTC or EU DPA scrutiny. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA data subjects retain their GDPR rights regardless of corporate ownership changes. The lawful basis for continued processing must survive the transaction. California residents' rights under CPRA continue to apply to the transferee. Transactions involving data of EU residents may require DPA notifications depending on jurisdiction and transaction structure. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers whose data is processed by Fastly should include provisions in their service agreements requiring notification in advance of any corporate transaction that would result in transfer of their data to a third party, and should assess whether their own DPA with Fastly survives such a transaction or requires renegotiation with the acquirer. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should monitor for any Fastly corporate transaction announcements and assess whether applicable regulatory notification obligations are triggered, including data protection authority notifications in the EU. Data subject notification obligations following a change of controller should be evaluated against GDPR Article 14.
