This provision establishes that account creation constitutes consent to receive automated telephone calls and pre-recorded messages from Glassdoor, affiliates, and third-party service providers. The scope of consent extends to communications about affiliate services, which may include Indeed-related services. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act in the U.S. requires prior express written consent for autodialed or pre-recorded calls to mobile phones.
Interpretive note: Whether account creation constitutes prior express written consent satisfying TCPA requirements is subject to ongoing judicial and regulatory interpretation and may vary by jurisdiction.
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.

Message and data rates may apply.Excerpt from Glassdoor's Terms of Use
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision implicates the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), which requires prior express written consent for autodialed or pre-recorded calls to mobile numbers. The FCC has enforcement authority over TCPA compliance. The FTC's CAN-SPAM Act governs commercial email communications. State laws in California, Florida, and other states may impose additional restrictions on automated communications. GDPR and ePrivacy Directive requirements apply to marketing communications directed at EEA users. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The characterization of account creation as prior express written consent for TCPA purposes has been subject to significant litigation in the U.S. Courts have scrutinized whether terms-of-service consent mechanisms satisfy the TCPA's written consent specificity requirements, particularly where the scope of automated communications is broad. The extension of consent to third-party service providers' communications increases the exposure surface. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: U.S. users, particularly in California, face heightened exposure given California's Consumer Privacy Act and TCPA enforcement activity. EEA and UK users retain opt-in rights for marketing communications under ePrivacy and GDPR requirements that may not be overridden by account creation consent. Florida and Texas have enacted state-level telemarketing restrictions that may apply. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Third-party service providers authorized to send communications under this provision should be identified and assessed for TCPA compliance, including maintenance of do-not-call lists and honoring opt-out requests. Contracts with such providers should include TCPA compliance warranties and indemnification provisions. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: The account creation consent mechanism should be reviewed for consistency with TCPA written consent requirements, including whether the consent disclosure is sufficiently specific regarding the types of automated communications covered. Opt-out procedures should be documented and tested. The extension of consent to affiliates and third-party service providers should be reconciled with TCPA consent requirements that specify the entity for which consent is granted.
