The use of behavioral consent (continued use) as the stated mechanism for authorizing international transfers may require evaluation against GDPR and UK GDPR requirements, which recognize Standard Contractual Clauses, adequacy decisions, and other specific mechanisms as lawful transfer bases rather than general consent obtained through continued service use.
Interpretive note: Whether behavioral consent via continued use satisfies GDPR Article 49 or other lawful transfer mechanism requirements is a legal question not resolved by the document alone; the policy's separate reference to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework may operate as the operative transfer mechanism for some processing activities.
The updated footer no longer includes a direct link to the 'Do not Sell or Share My Personal Data' page. Previously, this link provided quick access to California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) opt-out controls from the footer menu. Users can likely still access these controls through the main Privacy Policy page or dedicated privacy settings, but the removal eliminates a prominent, footer-based navigation shortcut. You should verify whether this opt-out functionality remains accessible through other menu locations or settings.
