However, if you don't share certain data with us, we may not be able to provide you with our services or respond to your requests.— Excerpt from Glassdoor's Glassdoor Privacy Policy
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: GDPR requires that data sharing with third parties (including employers and advertising partners) be grounded in a documented lawful basis under Article 6, and for special category data, Article 9. CCPA/CPRA requires disclosure of categories of third parties with whom personal information is shared and, for data sales or sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising, an opt-out mechanism. The FTC Act applies to deceptive representations about data sharing practices. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium to High. The combination of job application data and advertising-partner data sharing creates potential for employment discrimination risk and raises questions about whether employer-facing data flows are adequately disclosed and consented to. CPRA's opt-out of sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising must be operationally available. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California users have the right to opt out of sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising under CPRA. EU/UK users must have lawful bases documented for each sharing purpose. Jurisdictions with sector-specific employment data protections may impose additional constraints. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Advertising partner agreements should be reviewed to confirm data processing terms are consistent with GDPR and CCPA/CPRA representations made to users. Employer data access arrangements should be assessed for scope limitations to prevent misuse of user data in hiring decisions. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: A data flow inventory mapping each data category to each recipient category (employer, advertiser, analytics provider, affiliate) should be maintained and kept current. Opt-out mechanisms for advertising data sharing should be audited for prominence and functionality. Users should be able to distinguish between data shared for service delivery and data shared for advertising.
