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.
