What it is

Glassdoor collects data about how you interact with their services — including links you click, communications you open, and jobs you search for or save — and uses this to draw inferences about you.

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

Medium Apr 23, 2026

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.

High Mar 19, 2026

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.

Behavioral tracking and inference-based profiling engage GDPR Article 22 automated decision-making provisions and CCPA inferences as a defined personal information category; legal teams should assess whether profiling activities require separate disclosure or opt-out mechanisms.
