Summary

This policy governs how Glassdoor collects, uses, and shares your personal data, including using it to train AI models and personalize ads drawn from data Glassdoor receives from its affiliates and third parties. New users must sign in through Indeed, and once you link accounts you cannot disconnect them — your profile information automatically syncs between Glassdoor and Indeed. If you are a US user, you can opt out of targeted advertising by visiting a specified link or calling 800-616-6535.

Analysis

This privacy policy establishes Glassdoor's collection, use, sharing, and processing of users' personal data across its services and those of its affiliates, including Indeed. It sets out that personal data — including data sourced from affiliates and third parties — may be used to personalize advertising, and may be used or combined with other users' data to develop, train, and deploy AI and statistical models. The document mandates that new users access Glassdoor exclusively through Indeed Login, that connected accounts cannot be disconnected, and that Profile information is automatically synchronized between Glassdoor and Indeed. Users are granted a right to opt out of targeted advertising processing, and Glassdoor commits that no algorithm or profiling will produce a significant legal effect on a user without the opportunity for human review. Glassdoor explicitly disclaims any guarantee of anonymity for users who post Content, and retains liability for service provider data processing failures unless it establishes non-responsibility.

What this means for you

Your personal data on Glassdoor may be used to power AI features — including generating summaries, personalized outreach messages, and job matches — and may be combined with other users' data to train AI models. Information you post as Content may be tagged with your demographic attributes, and Glassdoor explicitly cannot guarantee your anonymity even when you post under a semi-anonymous identifier. Your Profile is automatically kept in sync between Glassdoor and Indeed, and connecting accounts is irreversible. Glassdoor does not use automated profiling to make decisions with significant legal effects on you without the opportunity for human review. If you are a US user and want to stop Glassdoor from using your personal data for targeted advertising, you can opt out by visiting the designated link or calling 800-616-6535.

What changed Glassdoor updated the URL for their Data Privacy Framework dispute resolution contact point in an update detected on July 21, 2026. The previous URL (http://www.bbbprograms.org/dpf-complaints) was changed to a secure HTTPS version (https://www.bbbprograms.org/dpf-complaints). This change affects how users access the BBB National Programs dispute resolution service if they have unresolved privacy concerns related to Glassdoor's Data Privacy Framework participation.
Why this matters The updated privacy policy now directs users to a secure HTTPS URL (https://www.bbbprograms.org/dpf-complaints) instead of the previously listed HTTP URL when filing unresolved privacy complaints with BBB National Programs under Glassdoor's Data Privacy Framework participation. The substantive dispute resolution process and rights remain unchanged; this is a technical update to the contact point.

What changed Glassdoor's privacy policy was updated in an update detected on July 14, 2026 to reflect that the company is now operated under the Indeed, Inc. corporate structure. The policy previously attributed data handling, compliance certifications, and liability statements to Glassdoor; the updated version attributes these same responsibilities to Indeed, Inc. This change does not alter the substantive data protection frameworks, transfer mechanisms, or legal obligations previously described, but it clarifies the corporate entity responsible for compliance with data protection laws and Data Privacy Framework certifications.
Why this matters The updated policy now identifies Indeed, Inc. as the corporate entity responsible for data processing, compliance with international data transfer frameworks, and handling of Data Privacy Framework (DPF) certifications. The substantive protections, transfer mechanisms, and legal obligations described in the policy remain functionally the same; only the named responsible party has changed. EU, UK, and Swiss users should direct DPF-related inquiries and complaints to Indeed, Inc. rather than Glassdoor.
