— Excerpt from Thomson Reuters's Thomson Reuters Privacy

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Corporate transaction data sharing engages GDPR requirements for lawful basis for onward transfers (legitimate interests or contract performance are commonly asserted), notification obligations to data subjects, and the requirement that the new controller honour existing data subject rights. CCPA and CPRA impose disclosure requirements for data sharing in corporate transactions. The FTC has examined data asset transfers in mergers and acquisitions. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The provision is standard in corporate privacy policies but operationally significant for enterprise customers who rely on Thomson Reuters as a processor, since a change of control could affect the legal entity responsible for their data processing agreements and the jurisdiction of processing. The statement asserts contractual protection requirements for recipients but does not specify enforcement mechanisms. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and EEA users may have enhanced rights in corporate transaction contexts, including the right to be informed of a change of controller. California users should note that CPRA requires disclosure of data transfers in corporate transactions. The UK ICO has published guidance on data sharing in mergers and acquisitions. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers' DPAs should include provisions addressing change of control, including notification obligations, rights to terminate the agreement, and data return or deletion obligations in the event of an acquisition. Procurement teams should assess whether existing DPAs contain adequate change of control protections. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should ensure their vendor management programmes flag Thomson Reuters as a key vendor subject to change of control monitoring, and review DPAs for assignment restrictions or notification requirements that would be triggered by a Thomson Reuters corporate transaction.
