Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes that Thomson Reuters collects multiple categories of special category data under GDPR Article 9, sensitive personal information under CCPA/CPRA, and analogously protected categories under other data protection frameworks, each of which imposes heightened lawful basis, consent, and data subject rights requirements beyond those applicable to ordinary personal data.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this clause, Thomson Reuters collects political and religious beliefs, sexual orientation, racial and ethnic origin, union membership, health and medical records, disability status, and government identification numbers. California residents may limit the use of sensitive personal information through the opt-out mechanism described in the statement.
