This policy only covers Palantir's own website and hiring activities — it does not cover what Palantir's software does with data when deployed by government agencies or enterprise clients.

Palantir's most significant data operations involve analyzing large datasets for government and corporate clients, and those processing activities are entirely outside the scope of this public privacy statement.
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.
View change record →Removal of this carve-out clause suggests the privacy statement's scope may have been expanded or the disclaimer was repositioned, potentially affecting transparency about government/enterprise product data handling practices.
View full change record →If data about you has been processed through Palantir's Gotham, Foundry, or AIP platforms — for example as part of a government surveillance or investigation program — your rights under those deployments are governed by contracts between Palantir and its clients, not by this consumer-facing policy. This means there may be no direct mechanism through this document to exercise privacy rights in that context.
