This clause establishes the scope of data sources Intuit may use to build user profiles, extending beyond data collected through direct user interactions to include purchased or obtained data from external sources. The authorization to combine these datasets means user profiles may incorporate information from multiple origins with different provenance.
The updated terms establish new procedures for handling personal data complaints related to international data transfers under the EU-U.S., UK Extension, and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Frameworks. Users from these jurisdictions now have access to defined complaint and dispute resolution mechanisms, including referral to TRUSTe as an alternative dispute provider at no cost, and binding arbitration under certain conditions. Additionally, the policy now requires that before personal data is used for a materially new purpose or shared with external parties not covered as processors, Mailchimp will offer users the opportunity to opt out through appropriate means or collect opt-in consent.
