I work at Glassdoor. My colleague was asked by his manager (on request of his manager's manager, maybe coming from the CEO but I don't know for sure) to share the user data (posts made for other co's, location, browsing activity on the site, etc.) of a user/poster. The request came from Recruit Holdings (this is a Japanese company which owns Glassdoor). Someone at Recruit Holdings wanted the user/poster information (either for their own internal purposes or as a favor for a client, etc. - I don't know how the info will be used).
I always assumed Glassdoor very strictly protects it's users' data but I now have evidence this is not the case. If HQ (i.e. Recruit Holdings) pressures Glassdoor management, they will hand over user data.
Does anyone know how I can get the word out about this? This isn't right.
