The updated terms expand employer obligations to ensure posted roles comply with child labor and minimum age laws, shifting responsibility from Indeed to the employer to determine lawfulness. Demographic data collection is now permitted from any employer subject to legal authorization, rather than only federal contractors, broadening the scope of collection. The terms explicitly state that employers have no access to demographic data collected from job seekers without their permission, even through legal process. For API users and developers, the restructured terms remove specific usage caps and billing restrictions that previously applied to Sponsored Jobs API, though the terms now require developers to inform end users of Indeed's terms and monitor for violations.
