What it is

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision governs the collection of device identifiers and browsing activity through cookies and tracking technologies, determining which data flows are subject to prior consent and which are managed through opt-out, with direct implications for advertising and analytics partner data sharing.

Interpretive note: The specific categories of cookies in use and the precise scope of consent versus opt-out mechanisms are described in linked sub-notices and the consent management platform interface rather than the main notice text.

Recent Activity

This document changed recently

Medium Jun 5, 2026

The updated privacy policy states that only Smartsheet's U.S.-based affiliates participate in the EU-U.S., UK Extension, and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Previously, the policy referenced participation by Smartsheet and its affiliates without geographic qualification. This narrowed scope may affect the data transfer mechanisms available for processing personal data from EU, UK, and Swiss users if non-U.S. affiliates are involved in data handling. The policy does not explicitly describe alternative transfer mechanisms for non-U.S. affiliates.
