ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Opting out of the Resume Database does not undo prior data access, meaning the user's ability to reclaim their information is limited once a third party has already saved it.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

A user who opts out of the Resume Database cannot prevent continued access to their data by any entity that already copied or saved it before the opt-out.
