ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes a dual legal basis structure for marketing communications and personalization profiling: consent where obtained, and legitimate interests where consent has not been separately sought. This means Palantir may send marketing communications without prior consent in contexts where legitimate interests is asserted as the applicable basis, subject to the right to object.

Interpretive note: The enforceability of legitimate interests as a basis for unsolicited electronic marketing varies by EU member state and depends on the applicable national implementation of the ePrivacy Directive.
