HP respects and is committed to protecting the personal information of our customers, business partners, and employees. We follow privacy policies and data protection practices to comply with the law and to earn trust and confidence in HP and its business practices. HP privacy policies and data protection practices extend by contract to our supplier and partner relationships. HP employees are informed about these policies and practices and are expected to follow them. HP privacy policies and practices reflect and reinforce the HP company values of trust, integrity, and quality.

Scope


This HP Global Master Privacy Policy applies to the collection, storage, transportation, and use of personal information obtained from customers, prospects, business partners, employees, job applicants, and retirees. Personal information includes any data by which an individual can be identified or located as well as any data to which HP has access in customer systems.

This global master policy governs customer and employee data protection policies; implementation standards; rulebooks; applications; web, product, and service developments; and technology roadmaps.

All HP employees and contracted parties working on behalf of HP must comply with these policies, even if local law is less restrictive. Specific practices are tailored to meet the legal, regulatory, and cultural requirements of the countries and regions where HP operates.


Global policy fundamentals


Our privacy policies reflect current global principles and standards on handling personal information. These principles include notice of data use, choice of data use, data access, data integrity, security, onward transfer, and enforcement/oversight. We abide by the privacy laws in the countries where we do business.
