Job application data is explicitly categorized as sensitive under both GDPR and US state law, meaning it warrants stronger protections — but it is also shared with employers and affiliates.
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.
