ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes the legal bases Sourcegraph relies on under GDPR, which determines what rights you have and under what circumstances you can object to or request deletion of your data.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

EU and other users covered by GDPR can withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time using the unsubscribe link in marketing emails or by contacting Sourcegraph directly. For data processed under legitimate interests, you have a right to object, which Sourcegraph must evaluate.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    To exercise GDPR rights including access, erasure, rectification, portability, or objection, contact Sourcegraph at the privacy email address provided at the end of the Privacy Policy. To withdraw marketing consent only, use the unsubscribe link in any marketing email.

"
Where laws like GDPR govern our processing of your Personal Information, Sourcegraph must tell you about the legal basis under which we process your Personal Information. Sourcegraph processes Personal Information under the following legal bases: Performance of a contract: We use your Personal Information to provide the Services you subscribe to and to fulfill requests you make of us. Legitimate interests: We use your Personal Information for our legitimate interests, such as security, abuse, and fraud prevention, product improvement, and communications about your use of our Services. Consent: We may rely on your consent to use your personal information for certain direct marketing purposes, such as sending you newsletter updates about Sourcegraph products. You may withdraw your consent at any time through the unsubscribe feature provided with each marketing email or by contacting us at the address given at the end of this Privacy Policy.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision directly engages GDPR Articles 6, 7, and 21. The reliance on legitimate interests for product improvement and communications requires a documented legitimate interests assessment. The European Data Protection Board and national data protection authorities may examine whether legitimate interests are appropriately balanced against user rights, particularly where behavioral analytics are involved. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The policy's invocation of legitimate interests for product improvement is broad and may encompass behavioral analytics and event tracking. GDPR Article 21 gives users the right to object to processing under legitimate interests, and Sourcegraph should have a documented process for handling such objections. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA users have the full suite of GDPR rights (access, erasure, rectification, portability, objection, restriction). UK GDPR imposes equivalent obligations post-Brexit. Users in other jurisdictions may have equivalent rights under applicable local laws referenced in the policy's global privacy section. 4) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should confirm that legitimate interests assessments are documented and available for regulatory review. Consent withdrawal mechanisms should be tested and documented. Data subject request workflows (access, deletion, portability) should be audited for responsiveness and completeness. 5) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: For enterprise customers, the applicable legal bases may differ from those described in this policy, depending on the terms of their customer agreements. Enterprise legal teams should confirm which bases apply under their specific agreements.
