1.2 Scope

This Global Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) provides clear, accurate information about the privacy and data protection (“PDP”) measures adopted by Teradata Corporation and its subsidiaries worldwide and how we access, collect, use, process, retain, transfer, disclose and handle (“Use”) your personally identifiable information/personal data (“PII”). It applies to all offline and online Use, including Teradata websites, social media sites, education and networking sites, mobile and desktop applications (“apps”) and other online portals, contacts and communications between you and Teradata, and to any other scenario to which this Privacy Policy is stated to apply or is incorporated by reference (collectively, our “Sites”).

“PII” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual, either alone or in reasonable combination with other information available to us. It includes all: personally identifiable information regarding you, to the extent it is subject to privacy law or privacy regulation provisions; and, non-public information identifiable to individuals to the extent it is subject to privacy or confidentiality provisions in written or electronic contracts entered into by or for Teradata.

In this document, “Teradata” includes Teradata Corporation and all of its subsidiaries throughout the world (also referred to as “we” or “us”).

As a reflection of the importance we attach to the privacy and security of your PII, Teradata has elected to adopt a globally uniform approach to PDP, as set out in this Privacy Policy. In the unlikely case the standards set by your country’s PDP laws exceed the standards in this Policy, then we meet the standards set by your country. Whilst we adopt a globally uniform approach to PDP, your legal rights and remedies are exercisable to the extent provided by applicable law in the relevant country.

Teradata does not and will not sell your or anyone else’s PII and requires the same of its service providers. Teradata has not sold your or anyone else’s PII to a third party in the 12 months preceding the Effective Date. Teradata offers no financial incentives in exchange for the collection/retention of PII.

1.3 Changes and Supplemental Terms

We will post public notice, through the Effective Date written on the cover page of this document and at the top of this page, and at www.teradata.com/privacy for at least 30 days when this Privacy Policy is updated or modified in a material way. You may request a file showing the changes from the last version of 13th October 2021 by emailing privacy@teradata.com.

From time to time, we may propose to supplement or amend this Privacy Policy and other PDP terms with site- or interaction-specific information and terms (“Supplemental Privacy Terms”). If so, you will be given notice of any such applicable Supplemental Privacy Terms and the choice to consent or not consent to them.

1.5 Verifying your Identity when you make Requests under CCPA

If you are an office-based employee/contractor, we will verify your identity by requiring you to meet in person to confirm you made the request.

If you are not an office-based employee/contractor:

  • Request to know categories of PII: Teradata will verify your identity to a reasonable degree of certainty by matching at least two data points provided by you with data points maintained by Teradata that we determine to be reliable for the purpose of verifying your identity.
  • Request to know specific pieces of PII: Teradata will verify your identity to a reasonably high degree of certainty by matching at least three pieces of PII provided by you with data points maintained by Teradata that we determine to be reliable for the purpose of verifying your identity, together with, should Teradata deem it necessary, a declaration signed by you under penalty of perjury that it is your PII that is the subject of the request. Teradata shall maintain all signed declarations as part of its record-keeping obligations
  • Request to delete PII:  Teradata will verify your identity to a reasonable degree or a reasonably high degree of certainty depending on the sensitivity of the PII and the risk of harm posed to you by unauthorized deletion, using the methods in the previous bullets. You must first submit your request to delete PII, and then separately confirm you want your PII deleted. 
  • Request to delete from Job Applicants: Teradata will verify your identity by requiring you to log in and make your request via online portal GR8 People (or subsequent provider/portal, if any). This is the also the preferred and most efficient method for you to make your job applicant deletion requests.

Teradata retains the right to vary any of the above verification procedures at its discretion.
