Version 20091102-001. Replaces all prior versions in their entirety.

Introduction

Please note that capitalized words have specific definitions stated somewhere in this document. "Teradata" refers to Teradata Corporation and its affiliates. This "Website" refers to all webpages that have a hypertext link to this Privacy Policy. "Privacy Policy" refers to this, or subsequently published versions of this, document. "Personal Data" is defined as any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual.

Teradata Personal Data Protection Principles

Teradata has adopted the following privacy principles for the protection of personal data. 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 you with easily understood information about Teradata's policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of your 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 you to have the opportunity to review and correct your personal data.

4. Enabling Informed Choice

Teradata will furnish you with information on the intended use of personal data, and with mechanisms permitting the exercise of choice on its disclosure. More specifically, 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. If your 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.
