What it is

The statement authorizes international transfers of Personal Information to the U.S. and other jurisdictions, relying on website use as a consent signal where applicable law permits this mechanism.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Reliance on implicit consent through website use as a transfer mechanism for international data flows may require evaluation under GDPR and LGPD, which impose specific requirements on consent validity and adequacy for cross-border transfers.

Interpretive note: The validity of implicit consent through website use as an international transfer mechanism varies by jurisdiction; GDPR Article 49 requirements for derogations may limit the enforceability of this approach for EEA users.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this clause, using Glean's websites is treated as consent to international data transfers where applicable law permits this mechanism; EEA and UK users should note that Standard Contractual Clauses and DPF certification are identified as the primary transfer mechanisms, with implicit consent as a secondary basis.
