“When you interact with us, your personal information may be transferred outside of your home country, and you acknowledge the risk that we may transfer your personal information to countries that may provide less protection than your home country's privacy laws...”
“To annotate, tag, and add metadata to our content, including naming or tagging individuals in our news content”
“We take steps to permanently destroy any biometric data we maintain within the applicable timeframe specified by law or when it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected...”
“By interacting with us, you will be deemed as having consented to our collection and processing of your sensitive personal information in accordance with this Privacy Statement.”
“Personal information in content and communications uploaded, sent, shared, or inputted through our Services...including the content of your queries on our Services, such as artificial intelligence prompts”
“Provide our Services to third parties where our Services and content include your personal information. Under some local privacy laws, this may constitute a "sale" of personal information.”
This document explains how Thomson Reuters collects, uses, and shares your personal information. It collects a wide range of data — including biometrics and the content of your AI prompts — and may use it to send you personalized advertising or share it with third parties in ways that some laws treat as a sale of your data. By simply using Thomson Reuters services, you are treated as having authorized international data transfers and, if you are a Chinese resident, as having consented to the processing of your sensitive personal information.
This document establishes Thomson Reuters's collection, use, sharing, and retention practices for personal information across its services. Thomson Reuters collects a broad range of personal data — including biometric data, AI prompt content, and third-party-sourced data from data brokers and advertising partners — and uses it for purposes including content annotation, interest-based advertising, and service provision to third parties that may constitute a sale under applicable privacy laws. Cross-border transfers and deemed consent for sensitive data collection are structured through interaction-based authorization rather than separate affirmative consent. Thomson Reuters retains the right to update its Privacy Statement at any time for any reason, and commits to JAMS arbitration for unresolved complaints arising under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
Using Thomson Reuters services means your personal information — including biometric data, AI prompt content, and data obtained about you from data brokers — is collected and may be used to tag published news content, target you with interest-based advertising, and shared with third parties in ways that may qualify as a sale of your personal information under some local privacy laws. Cross-border transfers and, for Chinese residents, processing of sensitive personal information are authorized through the act of interaction itself rather than through a separate consent step. Users in jurisdictions where third-party sharing qualifies as a sale may have a right to opt out of that sale under applicable local law.
