Data Sharing with Employers

Why it matters

Your data — including your resume, job application history, and potentially sensitive profile information — may be passed to employers without you explicitly initiating contact with that employer.

Consumer impact

Glassdoor collects an extensive range of personal data including highly sensitive categories such as race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, and health information, as well as your job applications, messages, and behavioral activity. This data may be shared with employers, affiliated companies including Indeed and Indeed Flex, and third-party advertising partners, meaning your sensitive information could reach multiple organizations beyond Glassdoor itself. You can review and manage your data sharing preferences, exercise deletion rights, or adjust privacy settings through Glassdoor's account settings or by contacting their privacy team.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Export Your Data
    Submit a data access request through Glassdoor's privacy portal to see what data has been shared with employers and with whom.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC can investigate unfair or deceptive practices related to consumer data sharing with third parties including employers.
