The provision establishes Glassdoor's operational rights over user-generated content independently of ongoing user involvement or consent withdrawal. The perpetual and transferable nature of the license means these rights persist beyond the user's relationship with the platform and can be exercised by subsequent licensees.
Users who submit content to Glassdoor authorize the platform to use that content indefinitely and across any media format without additional compensation. Users also authorize Glassdoor to distribute submitted content to third parties for republication and syndication on other services.
