What it is

The policy states that personal data including contact information, financial data, usage data, technical data, and potentially biometric data may be transferred to third parties in the event of a merger, acquisition, asset sale, bankruptcy, or insolvency, including during pre-transaction due diligence.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision reserves the right to transfer personal data including biometric data to acquiring entities or parties involved in due diligence prior to any transaction closing, which may occur before users are notified of the transfer. The inclusion of biometric data in potentially transferable assets creates heightened compliance considerations under BIPA and GDPR Article 9.

Interpretive note: Whether biometric data is included in transferable assets is not explicitly confirmed but is inferable from the broad 'some or all of our assets' language; applicability of BIPA to business transfers lacks definitive judicial resolution in all contexts.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this clause, the agreement states that personal data may be shared with third parties during due diligence or transferred to a new entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, or similar transaction. The policy does not specify a user notification mechanism before or after such transfers occur.
