From November 18, 2025, users may log in via an Indeed account. Legacy Glassdoor login remains available until April 20, 2026, after which full access may require a connected Indeed account. Once accounts are connected, the terms state they cannot be disconnected, and Profile data will be continuously synchronized between Glassdoor and Indeed until one account is deleted.

This provision establishes a mandatory, irrevocable account linkage mechanism between Glassdoor and Indeed with a deadline of April 20, 2026, and requires ongoing Profile data synchronization across both platforms under their respective Privacy Policies. The irrevocable nature of the connection and the continuous data synchronization create compliance considerations regarding whether users can exercise data subject rights, including deletion or restriction, with respect to one platform without affecting the other.
Interpretive note: The enforceability of the irrevocable account connection term may vary by jurisdiction, particularly in the EU and UK where data subject withdrawal rights may constrain the practical effect of this clause.
The updated terms identify Indeed, Inc. as the legal entity responsible for Glassdoor services, which affects where legal claims or notices must be directed. The terms now provide detailed procedures for copyright infringement claims under the DMCA, requiring claimants to submit specific information and contact an Indeed copyright department address. Users can opt out of the mandatory arbitration agreement by submitting a signed notice to the registered agent at the specified California address, though opting out does not affect other terms or previous arbitration agreements. The removal of the April 20, 2026 deadline for legacy login transition means that date-specific enforcement pressure has been eliminated, though the terms continue to authorize Indeed account login requirements.
View change record →The agreement states that once a user connects their Glassdoor account to an Indeed account, the connection cannot be severed, and a complete copy of Profile data will be held and processed by both Glassdoor and Indeed independently under their respective Privacy Policies. Users who do not connect before April 20, 2026, may lose full access to Glassdoor services as described in the terms.
