out of 100. Number 473 of 512, counting from the worst.
Where Roper Technologies does well
- Arbitration 0 of 20. Nothing found.
- Renewals 0 of 20. Nothing found.
- Explicit no-sale pledge, twice: 'We have not sold and do not sell any Personal Data that you provide to us as part of your employment or share that Personal Data as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act' and 'We do not sell or share Personal Data about you to unrelated companies for their independent use.'
- Broad individual rights with a real deadline: access, correction, deletion, portability, objection to profiling/marketing, non-discrimination, and 'We will respond to any such requests within 30 days of receipt.'
- Vendor safeguards with teeth: 'We will obtain assurances from each third party with whom we share your Personal Data that it will safeguard your Personal Data in a manner consistent with this policy' plus 'If we have knowledge that a third party is using or disclosing Personal Data in a manner contrary to this Policy, we will take reasonable steps to prevent or stop the use or disclosure.'
- As a B2B holding company, Roper runs no consumer accounts, subscriptions, or ad-tech on its corporate site, so there is no forced-arbitration, auto-renew, or targeted-advertising machinery to find; its SEC-confirmed public governance policies (Code of Conduct, Conflict Minerals Policy, Supplier Code of Conduct, Human Rights Policy at ropertech.com/policies) are published rather than hidden.
Apply for one job at one Roper subsidiary and your application data can circulate across the entire Roper conglomerate (parent Roper Technologies plus all affiliates) without you opting in — one résumé becomes group-wide inventory.
The fine print
6 clauses and findings from the draft archive, dated 1 October 2026. The plain English comes first; the small print is the company's own words. None of these has been checked yet.
-
Apply for one job at one Roper subsidiary and your application data can circulate across the entire Roper conglomerate (parent Roper Technologies plus all affiliates) without you opting in — one résumé becomes group-wide inventory.
We also may share information about your application with other members of the Roper Group in the event that they have openings that may be a fit for your skillset.
-
When you apply for a Roper job, they can pull your data from your LinkedIn and Facebook profiles and from third-party background-check vendors — your public social footprint becomes part of your file.
We may collect personal data about you from the following sources: ... from publicly accessible sources, such as Linkedin, Facebook, etc.; and from background check service providers (if we extend a conditional offer of employment).
-
They can rewrite the privacy rules unilaterally at any time; the only promise is 'reasonable efforts' to tell you, with no guaranteed advance notice and no opt-in to the new terms — your continued application counts as acceptance.
We reserve the right to update this Employment Candidate Privacy Notice from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this Notice. If there are material changes to this Notice or in how Data Innovation LLC will use your personal data, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes before they take effect or by directly sending you a notification.
-
There is no actual time limit on how long your data is kept — retention is defined only by reference to an internal 'corporate data retention schedule' that is not published, so rejected applicants cannot know when (if ever) their file is deleted.
We will keep and process your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless there is a legal right or obligation to retain the data for a longer period. Generally, this means that your Personal Data will be retained as documented in our corporate data retention schedule.
-
Your personal data is treated as a transferable corporate asset: if any part of the business is sold, merged, or reorganized, your file goes with it. This matters at Roper, a serial acquirer that buys and integrates dozens of niche software companies.
Your Personal Data may be also disclosed or transferred to a third party in the event of any proposed or actual reorganization, sale, merger, or any other type of corporate action involving of any portion of our company or assets (including insolvency). Should such an event take place, we will direct the transferee to use Personal Data in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.
-
Roper reserves the right to electronically monitor your use of company systems — including your personal computer — and openly admits your data may be moved to jurisdictions with weaker privacy protections than your home country.
This may include the electronic monitoring of your use of company systems (including personal computers), specialized software, or system administrative access. ... Data Innovations LLC is an affiliate of the Roper Group, with offices located throughout the world. ... please be aware that the laws and practices relating to the protection of Personal Data are likely to be different and, in some cases, may be weaker than those within your home jurisdiction.
How these were found
Roper Technologies (ROP) is a B2B industrial-software holding company; its corporate site (ropertech.com) is investor-facing and carries no consumer accounts, subscriptions, or checkout flows, so several rubric categories are near-empty by nature. Roper's own website Terms of Use / website Privacy Policy could not be located: they are not indexed by public search engines, one direct fetch of ropertech.com failed (upstream fetch error), and no verbatim mirror was found on OpenTermsArchive, Difficode, or PrivacyTracker. SEC filings confirm ropertech.com legal-adjacent pages exist — www.ropertech.com/policies (Conflict Minerals Policy, Supplier Code of Conduct, Human Rights Policy, PO terms; per the Form SD filed 2026-05-06) and www.ropertech.com/governance-documents (per the 2026 proxy statement) — but their contents were not retrievable via search. All substantive findings below come from Roper's official group-level 'Employment Candidate Privacy Notice' template v2.0, 'Last Updated: October 29, 2025', issued by Roper Technologies' group and hosted by Roper subsidiary Data Innovations LLC — a Roper-authored, group-level document, but scoped to employment candidates rather than general website visitors or product customers. No consumer-facing forced-arbitration clause, auto-renewal term, or data-broker-style provision was found anywhere; scores reflect this B2B limitation and are deliberately modest.
