What it is

Glean reserves the right to update this Privacy Statement at any time, treating continued website use after posting as acceptance of revised terms.

This analysis describes what Glean's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The continued use acceptance mechanism does not include a notice requirement, meaning users may not receive direct notification before updated terms take effect, which has compliance implications under GDPR and CCPA where material changes to processing may require renewed consent or proactive notice.

Interpretive note: Whether continued use constitutes valid acceptance of material privacy policy changes may be constrained by applicable law in specific jurisdictions, particularly under GDPR and CPRA.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this clause, revised Privacy Statement terms take effect upon posting and are treated as accepted through continued website use; the statement recommends periodic review but does not commit to proactive notification for material changes.
