What it is

Job seekers who use their Indeed credentials to log into Glassdoor create a linked 'Connected Profile' that syncs data between both platforms. Once linked, the accounts cannot be unlinked without deleting one of the accounts entirely.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes that account linking between Indeed and Glassdoor is effectively irreversible short of full account deletion, and that data synchronization between the two platforms is permanent once initiated. Job seekers should be aware that deleting their Indeed account will also terminate their access to Glassdoor services.

The updated terms state that Indeed may automatically draft job application content based on job seeker profile information and preferences. The drafted content may be AI-generated and subject to Indeed's AI-Generated Content Terms in Section D.9 of the General Terms. The agreement continues to establish that job seekers remain responsible for reviewing, correcting, editing, or deleting any drafted applications or application content before submission. You should review any AI-drafted content carefully to ensure it accurately reflects your qualifications and preferences before adopting and submitting applications.

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.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under these terms, job seekers who log into Glassdoor using their Indeed account link the two accounts and sync their profile data, and the only way to unlink the accounts is to delete either the Glassdoor or Indeed account. Deleting the Indeed account also removes access to all Glassdoor services.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Close Your Account
    To unlink your Indeed and Glassdoor accounts, you must delete either your Glassdoor or Indeed account. Navigate to account settings on the platform you wish to delete and follow the account deletion process. Note that deleting your Indeed account will also remove access to Glassdoor services as stated in the terms.

By using the OAOP Login, you agree to the (i) linking of your Glassdoor and Indeed accounts and (ii) creation of a 'Connected Profile', whereby certain profile information will be synced between your Indeed and Glassdoor profiles. Once you link your Glassdoor and Indeed accounts, you may not unlink them or unsync your Connected Profile other than by deleting your Glassdoor or Indeed account. If you delete your Indeed data or close your account, you will no longer be able to access Glassdoor services.
