Glassdoor has appointed separate legal representatives in the EU (Glassdoor Hiring Solutions Ireland Ltd.) and UK (Glassdoor Global Ltd.) to handle GDPR rights and complaints.

The designation of local representatives in the UK and EU is a GDPR requirement for non-EU controllers processing personal data of EU and UK residents. This structure enables compliance with Articles 27 and 28 of the GDPR by establishing points of contact for supervisory authorities and individuals to exercise data rights without requiring direct engagement with Glassdoor's primary operating entity.
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.
