ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Users may find that privacy rights they attempt to exercise are only partially honored, because legal obligations or service necessity can override full compliance.

Interpretive note: The excerpt uses 'for example' before listing the two circumstances, indicating the list is illustrative rather than exhaustive. The canonical claim captures only the two stated examples as the primary proposition; other unnamed limiting circumstances may exist.
