ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision states that continued use of the Services after a 10-day posting period constitutes acceptance of any policy changes, including potentially material changes to data collection, sharing, or use practices, without requiring affirmative re-consent.

Interpretive note: Whether deemed consent through continued use satisfies GDPR validity requirements depends on the nature of the change and applicable supervisory authority interpretation.
