HP respects and protects the privacy of its customers. As a leader in the world of e-commerce and information technology services, HP also leads the way in advancing the rights of consumers to have their personal information safeguarded.
HP has set the bar high when it comes to privacy and consumer trust. As a result, we have or use an array of leading-edge tools that are designed to protect your privacy. These include The Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P), HP Information Rights Management and HP Privacy Practices.
P3P is a new privacy technology developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). P3P technology can be found within the Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 browser and provides the ability to make more informed choices about the use of personal information online. Enabling certain areas of our site with this new technology is one way that HP can protect your privacy.
HP Information Rights Management solutions help companies protect confidential data from getting into the wrong hands. Customers can specify what information can be forwarded to whom and whether it can be printed, cut from or even viewed. This helps prevent sensitive documents from being sent to unauthorised recipients inside or outside of the organisation.
Through its Privacy Office, HP assures that its global policies and procedures match the highest standards of privacy excellence. Additionally, HP champions consumer privacy rights at conferences and forums in countries around the world. Essentially, HP secures customer information, provides customers access to their information, and does not sell, rent or lease customers’ personally identifiable information. The details of HP privacy practices are described in our Online Privacy Statement at the bottom of every HP web page.
HP’s Global Master Privacy Policy is established on principles consistent with Fair Information Practices as well as the Safe Harbor principles established by the European Union and the United States. HP is also founding sponsor of the Better Business Bureau’s BBBOnLine Privacy Seal Program, the “gold standard” for privacy certification.
