ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision authorizes both inbound data collection by third-party advertising partners and outbound sharing of user information with those partners for cross-platform advertising purposes, creating a data flow that engages GDPR consent requirements and CCPA opt-out-of-sale or sharing provisions.

Interpretive note: Whether data sharing with advertising partners constitutes a sale or sharing of personal information under CCPA and CPRA definitions depends on the specific contractual and operational arrangements with those partners, which are not detailed in the policy.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this clause, third-party advertising partners may collect interaction data from Greenhouse's website and communications over time, and Greenhouse may share user information with those partners to enable interest-based advertising on other platforms. Users can access opt-out controls described in Greenhouse's Cookie Notice.
