Glassdoor shares data across its corporate family, which includes Indeed and Indeed Flex, meaning your Glassdoor activity may inform your Indeed profile and vice versa.
This analysis describes what Glassdoor's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
Cross-affiliate data sharing between Glassdoor and Indeed means that your job search behavior, profile, and contributions on one platform may be linked to your activity on the other, potentially without users realizing the two are connected.
Interpretive note: The document does not enumerate the specific purposes or scope of Glassdoor-Indeed affiliate data sharing, making the full operational extent of this provision uncertain.
The updated policy grants EU, UK, and Swiss residents explicit rights to request access to their personal data held by Glassdoor in the United States, and to correct, amend, or delete that data. Glassdoor commits to responding to deletion requests within a reasonable timeframe and to obtaining explicit consent before sharing sensitive data with third parties or using data for purposes beyond the original collection. You can exercise these rights by following the instructions in the 'Controlling Your Personal Data' section of the policy.
View change record →The updated privacy policy removes explicit language granting users the right to correct, amend, or delete personal information held by Glassdoor. It also eliminates the documented right to opt-out before data is shared with third parties or used for purposes beyond the original collection. Previously, users could request limits on data use and disclosure; this right is no longer stated in the policy. Instead, the updated terms establish binding arbitration as the mechanism for resolving privacy complaints. Under the revised policy, users who have unresolved privacy concerns may invoke binding arbitration through TrustArc, but they no longer have contractually documented access to data correction, deletion, opt-out, or use-limitation mechanisms.
View change record →Previous version had empty excerpt; current version now explicitly names Indeed and Indeed Flex as affiliates and references a Privacy Center for more information.
View full change record →Your personal data from Glassdoor may be shared with Indeed and Indeed Flex for joint service delivery, profiling, or advertising purposes, expanding the scope of who can access your data beyond what users typically expect from a single-platform relationship.

"Glassdoor affiliates include Indeed and Indeed Flex. You can read more about our affiliates and our shared commitment to privacy at our Privacy Center.— Excerpt from Glassdoor's Glassdoor Privacy Policy
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: GDPR requires that intra-group data transfers be governed by documented lawful bases and, where entities act as joint controllers, a transparent joint controller arrangement under Article 26 must be in place. CCPA/CPRA requires disclosure of affiliate data sharing and, where such sharing constitutes a sale or sharing for advertising, an opt-out must be provided. The FTC Act applies to representations about affiliate data use. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. Affiliate data sharing at scale between large HR technology platforms (Glassdoor and Indeed combined represent significant labor market data coverage) raises questions about data aggregation and profiling risk. The policy does not enumerate specific purposes for which affiliate sharing occurs, which may create transparency gaps under GDPR and CCPA notice requirements. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/UK users face GDPR joint controller or processor obligations. California users may have rights regarding affiliate sharing depending on whether it constitutes sale or sharing under CPRA. Cross-border transfers between the US and EU/UK require transfer mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Intra-group data sharing agreements should be reviewed to ensure GDPR Article 26 joint controller arrangements or Article 28 processor agreements are in place. Transfer impact assessments may be required for transatlantic data flows. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should ensure the privacy notice adequately discloses the specific purposes of Glassdoor-Indeed-Indeed Flex data sharing. CPRA opt-out mechanisms should cover affiliate sharing where it constitutes sharing for advertising. Data mapping should capture affiliate data flows and retention schedules.
