Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes that personal information, including that aggregated from public and private sources into attorney directories and professional profiles, may be made available to all users of Thomson Reuters services and acknowledges that this constitutes a potential sale under applicable law. California residents and residents of other states with sale opt-out rights may exercise those rights, but individuals whose information appears in public records products face a structurally distinct regime governed by the supplemental Public Records Privacy Statement.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

This clause authorizes Thomson Reuters to incorporate personal information into third-party-accessible listings, reports, and professional directories and acknowledges this may constitute a sale under applicable law. California residents and eligible state residents can opt out of sale or sharing of their personal information using the mechanisms described in the statement.

What you can do
