Cognizant appears elsewhere in this tracker as a call-centre and IT services provider, and that is the row's substance: outsourced customer service means the person reading your account file works for a different company in a different country under a contract you cannot see. Cognizant also experienced a significant ransomware incident affecting client-facing operations. Offshore business process outsourcing is a genuine and underexamined layer in the consumer data chain.

Terms
Arbitration
Not independently confirmed this pass — Cognizant operates as a B2B IT/business-process outsourcing provider; individual consumers typically interact with Cognizant only indirectly, as customers of companies (like Papa John's) that outsource call-center/IT functions to it.
Data sharing
Cognizant is referenced elsewhere in this tracker as a CALL-CENTER SERVICES PROVIDER named alongside Papa John's in a privacy case where a California federal judge reportedly granted summary judgment FOR the defendants (Papa John's and Cognizant) on wiretapping claims — a rare instance of a company winning outright on the merits in this specific category of litigation, in contrast to many other companies in this tracker facing ongoing or settled tracking-technology claims.
