This provision establishes that all collected personal data is transferable to acquiring entities without requiring individual user consent beyond notification, which is a standard U.S. commercial practice but may require evaluation under GDPR, Canadian, and other international privacy frameworks depending on the nature and destination of any transfer.
Interpretive note: The policy states notification will occur but does not specify the timing, method, or content of such notification, creating ambiguity about whether the described notification mechanism meets applicable statutory requirements across jurisdictions.
Under this clause, personal information collected by Rumble may be transferred to a new entity in the event of a corporate transaction; the policy states users will be notified of ownership changes but does not specify a right to withdraw consent or object to such transfers.

"If Rumble is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of company assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.— Excerpt from Rumble's Rumble Privacy Policy
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: U.S. law generally permits personal data transfer in corporate transactions with notice, consistent with FTC guidance. GDPR requires that any transfer to a new controller be assessed for compatibility with original collection purposes and may require a new legal basis or notification to data subjects under Articles 13 and 14. Canadian PIPEDA and provincial laws may require consent or notification for transfers to entities in jurisdictions with lower privacy protections. Cross-border transfers implicated by an acquisition involving non-U.S. entities would require additional GDPR adequacy or safeguard assessments. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The provision is standard in U.S. practice but creates international compliance exposure if an acquisition involves transfer of EU or UK user data to a new controller without completing applicable transfer mechanism assessments. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK users are subject to GDPR and UK GDPR controller change and cross-border transfer requirements. California residents should assess whether a corporate transaction triggers CCPA notice obligations. Canadian users are subject to PIPEDA transfer provisions. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Acquisition due diligence processes should include assessment of Rumble's data asset categories, applicable user rights, and outstanding regulatory obligations. Purchasers should conduct privacy due diligence covering all jurisdictions in which Rumble's users are located. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should ensure that any corporate transaction triggering this clause includes a privacy due diligence workstream covering CCPA, GDPR, and Canadian obligations, and that notification mechanisms described in the policy are operationally implementable at the scale of Rumble's user base.
