Summary

This document establishes Thomson Reuters' privacy practices governing the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information across its legal, tax, news, and risk products and website. The policy authorizes Thomson Reuters to collect personal data including financial records, government identification numbers, professional history, and in certain contexts health or biometric data, and to use such data in compiling information products for distribution to third parties as part of its data broker operations. The policy establishes procedures for U.S. residents to submit privacy rights requests, including requests to access, correct, or delete personal information, through Thomson Reuters' designated privacy portal.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document is Thomson Reuters' global Privacy Statement, governing how Thomson Reuters and its worldwide affiliated companies and subsidiaries collect, use, disclose, and retain personal information across their products, services, and websites, with stated legal bases including consent, legitimate interests, contract performance, and legal obligation. The statement asserts that Thomson Reuters collects a broad range of personal data including contact details, financial information, government-issued identifiers, professional and employment data, location data, device and usage data, and sensitive categories such as health, biometric, and political information, and states that this data may be shared with affiliated entities, business partners, third-party service providers, government authorities, and purchasers in corporate transactions. Notably, the statement covers Thomson Reuters' role both as a data controller and as a data processor on behalf of business customers, and explicitly addresses the use of personal data in AI and machine learning model training, which creates distinct exposure in jurisdictions with emerging AI-specific regulation; the statement also discloses that Thomson Reuters operates as a data broker in certain contexts, compiling and selling information products derived from publicly available and licensed data sources. The statement engages GDPR and UK GDPR for EU and UK residents, CCPA and CPRA for California residents, PIPEDA and provincial equivalents for Canadian users, and a range of additional national frameworks; the document includes region-specific supplemental notices and describes cross-border data transfer mechanisms including Standard Contractual Clauses and adequacy decisions. Material compliance considerations include the adequacy of consent mechanisms for sensitive data processing, the lawfulness of AI training data use under GDPR, and the sufficiency of Thomson Reuters' data broker disclosures under state-level U.S. law.

What changed Thomson Reuters updated a section of their privacy policy on June 26, 2026 that was previously directed at tax, audit, and accounting firms. The revised language now specifically references 'CoCounsel Tax Essentials,' an AI product for tax work designed for mid-market and small CPA firms. This appears to be a product-focused update to a contact or promotional section rather than a substantive privacy policy change affecting data handling, collection, or user rights.
Why this matters This change updates promotional language within the privacy policy document rather than modifying core privacy practices, data collection authorities, or user rights. The revised text now directs tax and accounting professionals to CoCounsel Tax Essentials, Thomson Reuters' AI product for tax work. No changes to how personal data is collected, processed, retained, or shared are indicated in this modification.
