The updated policy establishes explicit rights for EU, UK, and Swiss individuals to access, correct, amend, and delete personal information that Glassdoor holds about them, particularly data transferred to the United States under the Data Privacy Framework. The policy also creates a formal complaint resolution pathway: individuals can first contact Glassdoor directly, then escalate unresolved complaints to BBB National Programs, and under certain conditions invoke binding arbitration. The policy adds an opt-out choice before Glassdoor shares data with third parties or uses it for purposes other than originally collected, and specifies that Glassdoor will respond to data removal requests within a reasonable timeframe.
