ConductAtlas User-Protection Index
Insufficient coverage
Insufficient coverage to score
Only 2 of 6 governance dimensions are confidently known for Thomson Reuters — too few for a headline score. What we do have is shown below.
How is this scored? →

Higher = more protective of you, the user/customer — a deliberately user-protective lens, not a universal “good vs bad” score. Computed algorithmically from Thomson Reuters’s cited governance stances; no dimension we haven’t confidently read is ever counted against the score. Free, reproducible, and never purchasable.

High Chinese residents deemed to consent to sensitive data processing by interacting

Deemed consent triggered by interaction — rather than explicit opt-in — means Chinese residents may not receive a separate, affirmative consent request before Thomson Reuters collects and processes t…

High Unresolved DPF complaints referred to JAMS arbitration

Users whose complaints about EU-U.S. DPF personal data handling remain unresolved have a defined escalation path — JAMS arbitration — rather than being left without a formal remedy.

High TR reserves right to update privacy statement at any time

Because Thomson Reuters may update the Privacy Statement at any time for any reason, the terms governing use of personal information can change without any substantive limitation on timing or grounds.

High Biometric data destroyed within legally specified timeframe

The commitment is to take steps toward destruction rather than guaranteeing destruction, and the timeframe is governed by variable applicable law, meaning retention periods may differ by jurisdiction.

High Acknowledgment of risk from transfers to less-protective countries

Users are required to pre-acknowledge a specific risk — reduced privacy protections — before that risk materializes, which limits their ability to later dispute the adequacy of protections afforded t…
