Sponsor does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13 and Sponsor does not target its websites to children under 13.
   
   Sponsor uses your personal information to provide you with services and to help us better understand your needs and interests. Specifically, Sponsor uses your information to help you complete a transaction or order, to communicate with you, to provide service and support, to update you on services and benefits, to personalize promotional offers and to personalize some HP websites. Occasionally Sponsor may also use your information to contact you for market research regarding HP products or services. Sponsor will give you the opportunity to choose your privacy preferences regarding such communications. Credit card information is used only for payment processing and fraud prevention. Sensitive personal information is collected only to facilitate our financial service providers' credit decisions and will be shared with them only with your permission. Credit card information and sensitive personal data are not used for any other purpose by our financial services providers or Sponsor and will not be kept longer than necessary for providing the services, unless you ask us to retain your credit card information for future purchases. In order to offer you a more consistent and personalized experience in your interactions with HP, information collected through one HP service may be combined with information obtained through other HP services.
   
   HP is a global organization, with legal entities, business processes, management structures, and technical systems that cross borders. Sponsor's privacy practices are designed to provide protection for your personal information, all over the world. Sponsor may share your personal information within HP and transfer it to countries in the world where we do business. Some countries may provide less legal protection for your information. In such countries Sponsor will still handle information in the manner we describe here. Non-personal data is aggregated for reporting about HP website usability, performance and effectiveness. It is used to improve the customer experience, usability and site content.
   
   Sponsor will not sell, rent or lease your personal information to others. Sponsor will not share your personal information with third parties except in responding to your requests for products or services. Your permission will be requested when you submit your information. Sponsor shares customer information across companies working on our behalf and HP-owned business entities, but only as described above in "How we use your information." Sponsor contracts with third-party service providers and suppliers to deliver complete products, services and customer solutions described in "How we use your information." Suppliers and service providers are required to keep confidential the information received on behalf of HP and may not use it for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for HP. These service providers may change or we may contract with additional service providers to better accommodate our customers. Sponsor will not share personal information with any other third parties without your permission, unless to: (i) respond to duly authorized information requests of governmental authorities; (ii) comply with any law, regulation, subpoena, or court order, (iii) help prevent fraud or to enforce or protect the rights and properties of HP or its subsidiaries; or (iv) to protect the personal safety of HP employees and third parties on HP property. Circumstances may arise where, whether for strategic or other business reasons, HP decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize businesses in some countries. Such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personal information to prospective or actual purchasers, or receiving it from sellers. It is HP's practice to seek appropriate protection for information in these types of transactions.
   
   Sponsor gives you the choice of receiving a variety of information that complements our products and services. You can subscribe to receive certain product- and service-specific information and HP-wide marketing communications. HP-wide communications may include new product information, special offers, or an invitation to participate in market research. We give you a choice regarding delivery of HP-wide communications by postal mail, e-mail and telephone. You can make or change your choices at the data collection point or through HP Passport (HP's proprietary online customer registration tool, available only in the United States). Sponsor will make every effort to honor your preferences. This option does not apply to communications for the purpose of administering order completion, contracts, support, product safety warnings or driver updates.
   
   Sponsor will not use your personal information for a different purpose than the one stated when you provided your data. Examples of unrelated uses include sending communications about special offers, product information, and marketing messages.
   
   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. Sponsor will not share your personal information with those third-party companies unless you make that choice.
   
   Sponsor strives to keep your personal information accurate. Sponsor has implemented technology, management processes and policies to maintain customer data accuracy. Sponsor 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, Sponsor 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.
   
   Sponsor 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, Sponsor has in place appropriate physical and managerial procedures to safeguard the information we collect. Sponsor uses 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, Sponsor subscribes to a fraud management service. This service gives you and Sponsor an extra level of security to guard against credit card fraud to protect your financial data. As Privacy Policies may be updated, Entrant is encouraged to check the Sponsor's Policy periodically at http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/privacy.html.
