The HP Global Master Privacy Policy articulates the privacy and data protection principles followed by HP around the world with regards to the personal information of its customers, including product, outsourcing and other services clients, partners, employees, former employees, applicants and current or former members of the Board of Directors ("covered individuals"). These principles support the highest privacy standards in international trade and commerce and human resource management.

Scope

This HP Global Master Privacy Policy applies to the collection, storage, processing, transfer, and use of personal information concerning covered individuals except where the contract with a covered individual defines different requirements. Personal information includes any data by which a person can be identified or located, as well as any data to which HP has access in customer systems.

Personal information may be collected from covered individuals through a variety of means, including, as examples, websites, other ordering channels, and service or employment processes. HP may also obtain personal information about covered individuals from other publicly or commercially available sources we deem credible.

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

All HP employees, board members, 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.

We use the definitions of personal data and sensitive personal data as defined in the Madrid Resolution. Briefly this is:

• Personal data means any information relating to an identified natural person or a person who may be identified by means reasonably likely to be used.
• Sensitive personal information is that which, in cases of misuse, may cause unlawful or arbitrary discrimination or other serious risk to the data subject. In particular, personal data that reveals aspects such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, or religious or philosophical beliefs will be considered sensitive data.
