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.
