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.
