Two independent conditions must both be satisfied before Indeed collects demographic data: user consent and market-level legal permissibility.
The updated policy expands the categories of personal data Indeed processes and shares. Indeed now explicitly authorizes processing data for fraud, abuse, platform-security threats, and risks to users or the public, and states it may share this information with law enforcement, regulators, and government authorities where lawful and appropriate, including on a voluntary basis without a legal requirement. Additionally, device information is now included in data transfers to employers' third-party platforms such as applicant tracking systems. These changes broaden the scope of data sharing beyond what the previous policy stated.
View change record →The updated policy now explicitly discloses that Indeed collects phone numbers as part of device information, a personal data category that was not previously itemized in the device information section. The policy also expands the stated legitimate interest basis for data processing to include 'improving our Sites and services' beyond the prior focus on safety and security. Under the revised terms, Indeed reserves the right to use collected phone numbers and other device data for these expanded purposes.
