A 30-day advance notice obligation gives users a defined window to review changes before they take effect, though alternative notice methods may apply where law requires.
Interpretive note: The excerpt does not specify what 'such use' refers to — the trigger for this notice obligation is not present in the excerpt, creating ambiguity about the scope of what changes prompt the 30-day notice. The canonical claim captures the notice mechanism as stated without resolving that ambiguity.
The updated terms authorize Indeed to process personal data for a broader range of purposes, including fraud, abuse, platform-security threats, and risks to users or the public. The policy now explicitly states that Indeed may share information with law enforcement, regulators, and government authorities where lawful and appropriate, including in cases where sharing is voluntary rather than in response to compulsory legal process. For job seekers, device information is now included when applications are transferred to employers' systems, such as applicant tracking systems or scheduling platforms.
View change record →The updated policy explicitly includes phone number as a type of device information that Indeed collects. Previously, the policy described device information as limited to IP address, device ID, and user agent. Additionally, the policy now states that Indeed relies on legitimate interests not only for keeping sites safe and secure, but also for 'improving our Sites and services', which broadens the stated basis for processing personal data. These changes formalize expanded data collection categories and processing justifications under the same legal framework.
View change record →Users are entitled to at least 30 days' advance notice via email and/or site posting before certain changes apply, unless law requires a different method.
