ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The clause establishes Indeed's authority to exploit submitted content across multiple uses and derivative applications without additional compensation or individual authorization for each use, and permits Indeed to authorize third parties through sublicensing to do the same.

Recent Activity

This document changed recently

Medium May 16, 2026

The updated terms establish new explicit tax obligations for users. Indeed now states it will calculate and bill applicable taxes based on user location or linked employer location, and users are responsible for any applicable taxes, duties, or levies. Additionally, the terms now state that reducing or canceling sponsored ad budgets will result in loss of access to premium features exclusive to higher budget plans. Previously, the agreement described auto-apply activity as a pricing factor; this reference has been removed from the pricing methodology section.
