ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

A corporate transaction could result in your personal data being transferred to a new entity with potentially different privacy practices, and this clause permits that transfer even during the negotiation phase before any transaction is complete.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Your personal data could be shared with potential acquirers or merged entities during or after a corporate transaction involving Zendesk, potentially before such a deal is finalized, which means a new company may access your data under different privacy standards.
