ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The provision establishes operational boundaries on how the Services may be accessed and utilized. By requiring prior written consent for automated access and commercial use, Glassdoor retains gatekeeping authority over data extraction practices and commercial applications of the platform, which affects the permissible scope of third-party integration and commercial data usage.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users who wish to access the Services through automated means, utilize data from the Services for commercial purposes, or engage in solicitation or advertising activities must first obtain prior written consent from Glassdoor. Unauthorized automated access or commercial use constitutes a breach of the terms of use.
