As a leading producer of customer transaction solutions, Teradata Corporation has long been concerned about protecting personal information it gathers about its employees and customers.
Teradata also considers data protection a customer satisfaction issue. We seek to meet all customer expectations in our solutions, products and services—and in our business practices. We will meet the customer demand for privacy protection.
Teradata believes that individuals have the right to be informed about the information being collected about them and about its intended use. People have the right to opt out if they do not wish to have personal data used for other purposes. They should also have the right to review information being retained and the means to update and correct it.

Introduction
Teradata recognizes that appropriate protection and management of personal data is a critical element in enabling consumers to realize the potential of global electronic commerce. Teradata also recognizes that its long tradition of protecting employee personal data is encountering new challenges as Teradata's personnel databases and systems become increasingly electronic and global.
Teradata has therefore adopted the following privacy principles for the protection of consumer and employee personal data. (Personal data is defined as any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual.) Teradata will follow these principles, consistent with applicable local laws, in all its operations globally.
1. Providing Information on Data Protection Policies
Teradata will provide consumers and employees with easily understood information about Teradata's policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data.
2. Limiting Data Collection and Use
Teradata will limit the collection and use of personal data to that which is needed for valid business purposes or to comply with local law, and any such data will be obtained only by lawful and fair means.
3. Ensuring Data Accuracy
Teradata will strive to maintain the accuracy of the personal data held, including establishing, as appropriate, mechanisms allowing consumers and employees to have the opportunity to review and correct their personal data.
4. Enabling Informed Choice
Teradata will furnish consumers and employees with information
on the intended use of personal data, and with mechanisms permitting
the exercise of choice on its disclosure. More specifically,
Consumers - Teradata will not release personal data to unaffiliated
third parties, unless (1) the consumer requests it; (2) the data
is provided to help complete a consumer-initiated transaction; (3)
the disclosure is required by law; or (4) the consumer has been
informed about the possibility of such disclosure and has decided
not to opt out.
Employees - Teradata will not release personal data to unaffiliated
third parties, except and only as specifically provided for under
internal corporate management policies.
If employee or consumer personal data is provided to an affiliated
third party (e.g., contractors and partners), Teradata will require
the third party to adhere to similar data protection principles
that provide for keeping such data confidential.
5. Safeguarding Security
Teradata will take appropriate steps to ensure that personal data
is protected from unauthorized access and disclosure, including
limiting access to such data only to those employees with a business
need to know.
6. Adapting Privacy Practices to Electronic and Online Technologies
Teradata will apply these principles via practices that have the
equivalent effect regardless of the specific technologies employed
for data collection and use. Consumers and employees should have
a reasonably consistent expectation of privacy in both electronic
and paper-based environments.
7. Leading in the Marketplace
Teradata will develop and offer market-driven solutions, particularly
in the scalable data warehouse portfolio, that empower its corporate
customers to protect consumers' personal data. Teradata will also
support and participate in consumer education efforts about the
importance of fair information practices and privacy protection.
Teradata follows the Online Privacy Alliance guidelines.
