"We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.— Excerpt from Lime's Lime Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Business transfer provisions engage GDPR Article 6(1)(f) (legitimate interests as a basis for transfer), and the requirement under GDPR Articles 13/14 that data subjects be notified of material changes to processing purposes or controller identity. In the US, the FTC has previously challenged acquisitions where privacy policy terms changed materially post-merger. CCPA/CPRA does not prohibit such transfers but requires the acquiring entity to honor existing consumer rights requests. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low-Medium. This is a standard provision common across the industry. However, for a company that processes sensitive location data at scale, the data asset being transferred in a corporate transaction has significant value and sensitivity. The policy does not commit to notifying users prior to a completed transfer or providing opt-out rights in connection with such a transfer. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA (GDPR notification obligations for change of controller), California (CPRA rights survive transfer), UK (UK GDPR equivalents). Jurisdictions with data residency requirements may be implicated if a corporate transaction results in a change of processing location. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: M&A due diligence for Lime as a target should include a full data asset inventory, review of consent mechanisms, assessment of regulatory obligations in all operating jurisdictions, and evaluation of data sharing agreements that may require consent to assignment. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Ensure that privacy notice update procedures are in place to notify users of changes in data controller identity following a transaction, confirm that acquiring entity due diligence includes full privacy compliance review, and assess GDPR Article 14 notification obligations where a new controller is processing data originally collected by Lime.
