This provision authorizes transfer of personal information to a new entity in the event of a business transaction; the notice requirement provides some procedural protection, but the practical ability for users to opt out of the transfer is not specified.
The updated policy organizes personal data collection into specific categories: registration data (name, email, phone), content created (code, files, prompts), collaboration data (teams, workspaces, permissions), usage logs (pages viewed, searches, interactions), communications (messages, attachments), payment data (card details, billing address, subscription type, collected by third-party processors), device data (IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers), and general location inference from IP address (with explicit statement that precise location requires consent). The policy states it 'may collect certain Personal Data' but does not materially expand the types of data collection beyond the prior version's framework. The removal of the explicit Data Processing Agreement reference may affect how EU/UK/Switzerland users exercise data rights, though the policy now cross-references the Terms of Service and indicates DPA compliance may be addressed elsewhere.
