ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The provision uses an open-ended 'including but not limited to' formulation that does not limit collection to the listed categories, which means actual data collection could extend beyond name, phone number, and postal address without additional disclosure. Compliance teams should evaluate whether the categories disclosed align with actual data processing activities.

⚠

Interpretive note: The 'including but not limited to' formulation creates uncertainty about the full scope of personal information that may be collected under this provision.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this clause, users who engage with the service may be required to provide name, phone number, and postal address, and the open-ended language of the provision does not restrict collection to those specific identifiers.
