Consumer impact EU, UK, and Swiss users now have explicitly stated rights to access, correct, amend, or delete their personal information held by Glassdoor in the United States under the Data Privacy Framework. Glassdoor also committed to providing opt-out (or opt-in for sensitive data) choices before sharing your data with third parties for purposes beyond the original collection. You can exercise these rights by following the instructions in the 'Controlling Your Personal Data' section of Glassdoor's Privacy Policy.
Why it matters EU, UK, and Swiss Glassdoor users now have explicitly codified rights to access, fix, or delete their personal data held in the US, which strengthens their practical ability to exercise data protection rights across borders. The removal of the TrustArc escalation pathway, however, may make it harder to resolve complaints if Glassdoor does not address them directly.
