8. Your information and third-party companies
Certain HP services are linked with those from unrelated third-party companies, some which offer you the option to share with both HP and the
third party personal data you provide. Examples include the ability to register software products from multiple vendors from a single HP Web
page, to request communications from HP marketing or solution partners, or to enable order completion through a reseller. We will not share your
personal information with those third-party companies unless you make that choice.
9. Access to and accuracy of your information
HP strives to keep your personal information accurate. We have implemented technology, management processes and policies to maintain
customer data accuracy. We will provide you with access to your information, including making reasonable effort to provide you with online
access and the opportunity to change your information. To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your
identity, such as a password and user ID, before granting access to your data. Certain areas of HP's websites may limit access to specific
individuals through the use of passwords and other personal identifiers.
The most effective way to view and change your personal information is to return to the Web page where you originally submitted your data and
follow the instructions on that Web page or use HP Passport.
10. Keeping your information secure
HP is committed to protecting the information you provide us. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, to maintain data accuracy, and to
ensure the appropriate use of the information, HP has in place appropriate physical and managerial procedures to safeguard the information we
collect.
We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive data such as credit card information. SSL encryption is
designed to make the information unreadable by anyone but us. This security measure is working when you see either the symbol of an
unbroken key or closed lock (depending on your browser) on the bottom of your browser window.
Credit card numbers are used only for processing payment and are not used for other purposes. As part of real-time payment processing, HP
subscribes to a fraud management service. This service gives you and HP an extra level of security to guard against credit card fraud to protect
your financial data.
11. Changes to this Statement
If there are updates to the terms of HP's Online Privacy Statement, we will post those changes and update the revision date in this document, so
you will always know what information we collect online, how we use it, and what choices you have. For material changes to this Statement, HP
will provide notification to affected customers.
12. Contacting us
We value your opinions. If you have comments or questions about our privacy policy, please send them to the HP Privacy Office or write to us at

An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks use the TCP/IP protocol to route
information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web, allowing Web servers to
locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet, browse and shop.
