What it is

Thomson Reuters can change its privacy policy at any time and primarily notifies users by updating the date on the policy page, meaning you would need to check the page yourself to notice changes.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Changes to the privacy policy may expand the ways your personal data is used, and the primary notification method (updating the effective date) may not provide adequate notice to users who do not regularly review the policy.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Material changes to how Thomson Reuters handles your personal data may take effect after only updating the date on the policy webpage, without direct notification to you in all cases, which could affect your ability to respond to changes that affect your rights.
