ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The collection of precise location data and trip details, combined with use for purposes described in a separate Privacy Notice incorporated by reference, means the full scope of data use is not entirely contained within these terms and requires review of an additional document.

Interpretive note: The full scope of data use and third-party sharing is governed by a separately incorporated Privacy Notice, which must be reviewed concurrently to assess the complete data practices applicable to users.
