ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This clause establishes a broad authorization for unrestricted use of data once it has been de-identified or aggregated, creating a category of data exempt from the privacy policy's standard limitations. The provision commits the entity to maintain de-identified data without attempting to re-identify it, establishing the procedural boundary for this data class.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users' personal data may be converted to de-identified form and used for any purpose by the company without the restrictions that apply to personal data. The terms apply this authorization upon continued use of the service, meaning any data converted to de-identified status becomes subject to unrestricted use as stated in the policy.

We also collect, use and share 'Aggregated Data' (where data has been combined or collected together in summary or other form that cannot identify an individual) or 'De-Identified Data' (where Personal Data points have been removed so that the remaining data cannot reasonably be linked to an identifiable individual) for any purpose. Aggregated Data and De-Identified Data may each be derived from Personal Data but are not considered Personal Data since it does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. We will maintain and use De-Identified Data as permitted in this Privacy Policy without attempting to reidentify it.
