Salesforce

You are agreeing to be tracked across websites by Salesforce and its ad partners for the purpose of delivering tailored advertisements.

“Advertising cookies track activity across websites in order to understand a viewer’s interests and to direct marketing to them. ... Advertising networks follow your online activities over time and across different websites or other online services...”

What that means: Your browsing habits on Salesforce and other websites are tracked to build a profile of your interests for targeted ads.

The document explicitly states that advertising cookies track activity across websites and that third-party ad networks follow your activities over time and across different sites. This constitutes cross-site tracking for behavioral advertising purposes.

You are agreeing to provide health and biometric data to Salesforce if you attend events or if local laws require it.

“If you attend an event... To the extent that national or local laws require it, this may also include health status, including your temperature, COVID-19-related symptoms... If you give your explicit consent... your biometric information, such as an image of your facial features...”

What that means: You risk providing private health information and biometric scans during events or interactions if you participate in programs requiring this data.

The policy allows for the collection of specific health data (temperature, symptoms) and biometric data (facial images) under certain conditions like event attendance or legal requirements. While it claims to rely on consent or legal basis, these are highly sensitive data categories.

You are agreeing to have mandatory cookies placed on your device that support site functionality, analytics, and authentication, with no opt-out choice for these specific categories.

“Required cookies are necessary for basic website functionality. ... Because required cookies are essential to operate the websites, there is no option to opt out of these cookies. ... Choosing to disable cookies on your device may limit your ability to use some features on our websites and services.”

What that means: You cannot easily refuse all cookies, particularly those used for site analytics and security, without potentially losing access to full site features.

The document defines 'required' cookies broadly enough to include analytics and authentication, which users cannot turn off. It also warns that disabling all cookies limits functionality, which can discourage users from rejecting non-essential tracking cookies.

You are agreeing to submit health-related information, including temperature and vaccination status, for security and safety checks.

“Ensuring the health of our visitors and employees... ensure the health and safety of our visitors and employees... health status, including your temperature, COVID-19-related symptoms, exposure to COVID-19 positive individuals, vaccination status, testing results, and recent travel history”

What that means: You must disclose specific health information like temperature and vaccination status to enter Salesforce offices or attend events.

The company collects detailed health metrics like temperature and vaccination status for visitor safety. This goes beyond general identification and involves specific medical-adjacent data collection for premises access.

You are agreeing to age-restricted data handling rules where those under 16 require opt-in consent for certain third-party disclosures.

“If you’re under the age of 16, or such other applicable age of consent for privacy purposes in relevant individual jurisdictions, opt in to certain disclosures of your Personal Data to third parties;”

What that means: If you are under 16, you may need parental consent for certain data disclosures, indicating the service handles data from minors.

The document mentions age thresholds (16+) for opting into disclosures. It does not clearly bar under-13s but acknowledges younger users exist in its system design, implying potential collection subject to parental consent laws.
