This provision establishes the categories of third parties with whom personal data may be shared, which is directly relevant to CCPA opt-out rights, GDPR legitimate interests assessments, and the scope of data flows that must be disclosed and contractually managed.
Interpretive note: The specific identity of advertising and analytics partners and the precise scope of data shared with each is described in linked sub-notices rather than the main notice text, so full assessment requires review of those supplementary documents.
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.
