"We may disclose your information to third parties in connection with a transaction, such as a merger, sale of assets or shares, reorganization, financing, change of controlExcerpt from Writer's Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages GDPR requirements regarding disclosure of personal data to third parties, where a legitimate interest or contractual necessity basis would typically need to be established. Under CCPA, disclosure of personal information in connection with a merger or acquisition is generally permitted under the business transfer exception. FTC oversight of post-acquisition data use practices is relevant where an acquiring entity materially changes data handling practices. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. This type of provision is commonly observed in privacy policies and generally reflects standard commercial practice. The absence of a described user notification mechanism for completed transactions or post-acquisition data governance changes is a standard limitation of this clause type. JURISDICTION FLAGS: GDPR requires that post-acquisition data processing by a new controller be disclosed to data subjects if material changes to processing purposes or conditions occur. EEA and UK users have the highest exposure regarding post-acquisition data governance. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Due diligence processes involving disclosure of personal data to potential acquirers should include confidentiality and data use restrictions in transaction agreements. Post-acquisition data governance review should assess whether existing legal bases and consent mechanisms remain valid under new ownership. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams involved in corporate transaction due diligence should assess whether personal data sharing with transaction counterparties is conducted under appropriate confidentiality controls and whether GDPR notification obligations arise upon completion of a transaction that results in a material change to data processing.
