Highest Risk Categories

The highest-scoring risk categories identified in this assessment.

3rd-Party Sharing

CCPA section explicitly states: 'In the preceding twelve (12) months, we may have sold the following categories of Personal Information to third parties or businesses for commercial purposes: Identifiers.' This is a direct CCPA data-sale disclosure. Also shares Public Data with customers as core business function. Shares personal data with subsidiaries and affiliated companies.

Data Retention

Retains 'as long as necessary to provide the Service.' Policy states Bright Data 'may retain data it has collected or delivered to its Clients and may use it for its own purposes in its sole discretion.' Dataset exports have limited client-side review periods only. Potentially indefinite retention for some data types.

Data Sovereignty

Headquarters in Netanya, Israel — not EU. Israel has EU adequacy decision for data protection. US entity (New York) is subject to US CLOUD Act. Global operations with broad data collection network. Israeli national security laws could compel data disclosure. GDPR compliance maintained through EU representative (EDPO Brussels).
