WeTransfer / Privacy Policy EU

WeTransfer EU privacy policy drops several legal-basis rows, controller address and cookie details

AI training: reworded

The new version removes the controller identification line with the Amsterdam address, and several table rows describing why data is processed and on what legal basis (including analysis and research on user content). It also drops the affiliate data-sharing sentence, the cookie list commitment, browser cookie control advice, examples of transfer safeguards, and the rights contact address. Nothing was added in the compared text, so this may be restructuring or truncation rather than a policy change.

Taken from you

  • Stated legal bases for analysis/research on user content and compliance purposes no longer shown
  • Named controller address and contact for exercising rights removed
  • Commitment to update a cookie list four times a year removed
  • Examples of safeguards for international transfers removed
