EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework

We are committed to upholding the Data Privacy Framework Principles.

NTT DATA complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF), as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce. NTT DATA has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (EU-U.S. DPF Principles) with regard to the processing of personal data received from the European Union in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF. If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the EU-U.S. DPF Principles, the Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Data Privacy Framework (DPF) program, and to view our certification, please visit https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/.

NTT DATA is responsible for the processing of personal data it receives, under the EU-U.S. DPF, and subsequently transfers to a third party acting as an agent on its behalf. NTT DATA complies with the EU-U.S. DPF Principles for all onward transfers of personal data from the EU, including the onward transfer liability provisions.

The Federal Trade Commission has jurisdiction over NTT DATA’s compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF. In certain situations, NTT DATA may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

In compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF, NTT DATA commits to resolve DPF Principles-related complaints about our collection and use of your personal information. EU individuals with inquiries or complaints regarding our handling of personal data received in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF should first contact NTT DATA at privacy@nttdata.com.

In compliance with the EU-U.S. NTT DATA commits to refer unresolved complaints concerning our handling of personal data received in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF, to JAMS, an alternative dispute resolution provider based in the United States. If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your DPF Principles-related complaint from us, or if we have not addressed your DPF Principles-related complaint to your satisfaction, please visit this link for more information or to file a complaint. These dispute resolution services are provided at no cost to you.

For complaints regarding EU-U.S. DPF, you have the possibility, under certain conditions, to invoke binding arbitration. Further information can be found on the official DPF website.


Other Issues

  1. What is the legal basis of processing?

    Some jurisdictions require an explanation of the legal basis for the collection and processing of Personal data. We have several different legal grounds on which we collect and process Personal Data, including: (i) as necessary to perform a transaction (such as in order to provide the services you requested); (ii) as necessary to comply with a legal obligation (such as when we use Personal Data for record keeping to substantiate tax liability); (iii) consent (where you have provided consent as appropriate under applicable law, such as for direct marketing or certain cookies); and (iv) necessary for legitimate interests (such as when we act to maintain our business generally, including maintaining the safety and security of the Site). With respect to legitimate interests, given that we are a B2B company, we typically collect and process limited Personal data about customer contacts and other individuals acting in their business capacities, as part of our overall effort to reduce the privacy impact on individuals.

  2. What are the consequences of not providing Personal Data?

    You are not required to provide all Personal Data identified in this Privacy Policy to use our Site or to interact with us offline, but certain functionality will not be available if you do not provide certain Personal Data. If you do not provide certain Personal Data, we may not be able to respond to your request, perform a transaction with you, or provide you with marketing that we believe you would find valuable.

  3. Do we engage in automated decision-making without human intervention?

    We do not use automated decision-making without human intervention, including profiling, in a way that produces legal effects concerning you or otherwise significantly affects you.

  4. Does the Site honor do not track ("DNT") signals sent via browsers?

    Given the divergent practices of organizations that offer browsers and the lack of a standard in the marketplace, we do not respond to DNT signals at this time.

  5. How long do we retain Personal Data?

    We typically retain personal data related to marketing activities for as long as you accept marketing communications from us, and upon request, we will securely delete such data in accordance with applicable law. For Personal Data that we collect and process for other purposes described above, we typically retain such Personal Data for no longer than for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy and as otherwise needed to address tax, corporate, compliance, litigation, employment, and other legal rights and obligations.

  6. Are third party websites governed by this Privacy Policy?

    This Site contains links and references to other websites administered by unaffiliated third parties. This Privacy Policy does not apply to such third-party sites. When you click a link to visit a third-party website, you will be subject to that website's privacy practices. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the privacy and security practices of the linked third-party websites before providing any Personal Data on that website.

  7. How does NTT DATA handle employee and contractor privacy issues?

    Personal Data about our employees and contractors are addressed through internal company policies and procedures and are outside the scope of this Privacy Policy.

  8. How will we handle any changes to this Privacy Policy?

    We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our services and privacy practices change, or as required by law. The effective date of our Privacy Policy is posted above, and we encourage you to visit our Site periodically to stay informed about our privacy practices. We will post the updated version of the Privacy Policy on our Site and ask for your consent to the changes if legally required.
