What it is

If Replicate is sold or merges with another company, your personal data — including training data — can be transferred to the new owner, who may use it for similar purposes without requiring your consent.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

In a sale or merger, all personal data Replicate holds about you — including training data you uploaded — may be transferred to a new company, which could handle it differently than Replicate does today without triggering any opt-out right.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Your data, including potentially sensitive training data, can be shared with unknown third parties during M&A activity without your prior consent or notification, and the receiving company is bound only loosely by 'similar purposes.'

View original clause language
We may disclose your personal information as part of a business transition. We may also share your personal information with prospective purchasers exclusively to evaluate the proposed transaction; and We may also share your personal information with another company that buys the assets or stock of Replicate. That company may use and disclose personal information for purposes similar to those described in this Privacy Policy.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Business transition data sharing implicates CCPA/CPRA Cal. Civ. Code §1798.140 (definitions of 'sale' and 'sharing'), GDPR Art. 6(1)(f) legitimate interests as the likely legal basis for pre-transaction disclosure to prospective purchasers, and FTC Act Section 5 regarding deceptive practices if data is used materially differently post-transfer. The FTC's guidelines on business transitions (2012 Facebook/Instagram guidance) establish precedent for requiring notice and consent for material changes in data use. (2)
