This provision establishes that audiovisual data, including security footage and event recordings, is collected from individuals who visit Palantir offices or attend affiliated events. The legal basis cited for this processing in EEA/UK/Switzerland contexts is Palantir's legitimate interests in safety and security of employees, visitors, and confidential information.
Interpretive note: The document does not specify whether facial recognition or biometric extraction is applied to collected audiovisual data, and the scope of biometric privacy law applicability depends on this factual determination.
The updated Privacy Statement now authorizes Palantir to disclose personal data to promotional code partners who may then contact you if you sign up for a Palantir service using their code. This establishes a new third-party contact pathway not previously disclosed in the policy. The terms do not specify how frequently partners may contact you, what data is included in the disclosure, or whether you can opt out of partner contact after signing up.

"Audiovisual Data: Image, voice – including photographs, images and audio and video recordings – collected through security and monitoring systems or recorded during events, for example, when you participate in a Palantir or Palantir-affiliated event, visit a Palantir office or present at a seminar hosted by Palantir.Excerpt from Palantir's Privacy Statement
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Audiovisual data collection implicates GDPR and UK GDPR obligations regarding biometric or special category data where facial recognition or voiceprint processing occurs. In the US, Illinois BIPA, Texas CUBI, and other state biometric privacy laws may impose consent and retention requirements for biometric identifiers derived from photographs or recordings. California CPRA includes protections for sensitive personal information. Recording notice laws vary significantly by US state. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The document does not specify whether audiovisual data collected at events includes facial recognition processing or biometric extraction. If facial recognition or voiceprint analysis is applied, heightened regulatory obligations may apply in Illinois, Texas, and several EU jurisdictions. The absence of specificity creates uncertainty about the full scope of processing. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: Illinois (BIPA), Texas (CUBI), Washington, and New York create heightened exposure for biometric data derived from audiovisual collection. EU member states with national implementing legislation that treats facial image processing as biometric data under GDPR Article 9 create additional compliance considerations. Recording consent requirements vary by US state. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations sending employees to Palantir events or offices should assess whether the audiovisual data collection disclosed in this provision is consistent with their own employee privacy notices and applicable employment law. Event co-hosts should assess whether the co-branded event processing disclosure adequately covers audiovisual collection. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should evaluate whether adequate notice of audiovisual collection is provided at point of entry to offices and events, whether consent is obtained where required by applicable law, and whether retention limits for audiovisual data are documented in Palantir's data retention policies.
