ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The deemed acceptance provision establishes that continued platform use after a privacy policy update constitutes agreement to the updated terms. The policy does not specify the advance notice period for material changes beyond the requirement to notify as required by applicable law, which may vary by jurisdiction.

Interpretive note: Whether deemed acceptance through continued use satisfies applicable consent requirements varies by jurisdiction, particularly under GDPR and UK GDPR where consent-based processing may require affirmative re-consent for material changes.
