Adobe Systems Incorporated (our U.S. company) complies with the U.S.–E.U. Safe Harbor Framework and the U.S.–Swiss Safe Harbor Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal data from European Union member countries and Switzerland. Adobe Systems Incorporated has certified that it adheres to the Safe Harbor Privacy Principles of notice, choice, onward transfer, security, data integrity, access, and enforcement.

This Adobe Safe Harbor Privacy Policy describes how we handle personal information (1) collected by Adobe subsidiaries, our corporate customers, and other business partners located in the European Economic Area (the EEA), which is then transferred to Adobe Systems Incorporated in the United States; and (2) received from companies that use one of Adobe’s hosted services (learn more) who operate in the EEA and processed by Adobe Systems Incorporated in the United States on behalf of the company. This Safe Harbor Privacy Policy supplements the Adobe Privacy Policy.

Adobe Systems Incorporated may receive personal information from Adobe subsidiaries (see list of Adobe entities [click "Office locations" tab] and our acquired companies), our corporate customers, and other business partners in the EEA, such as name, email address, company name, title, postal address, telephone number, and preferences regarding our applications and websites. Any personal information sent to us may be used by Adobe Systems Incorporated and its subsidiaries and their agents and business partners for the purposes described at the time the information was collected. If you agree to receive email or telephone marketing from us, personal information we receive will also be used for those purposes, as described in the Adobe Privacy Policy. If we plan to use personal information for a purpose that is incompatible with these purposes or if we plan to disclose personal information to a kind of company not described here, we will seek your consent to such uses or disclosures.

Adobe Systems Incorporated works with several companies to help us deliver our services to you on our behalf. These companies provide services such as offering customer support, processing credit card payments, and sending emails on our behalf. In some cases, these companies will have access to some of your personal information in order to provide services to you on our behalf. They are not permitted to use your information for their own purposes. Adobe Systems Incorporated requires that its agents and service providers that have access to personal information received by Adobe Systems Incorporated from the EU or Switzerland subscribe to the Safe Harbor Privacy Principles, be subject to the EU Privacy Directive or another adequacy finding, or enter into a written agreement that requires them to provide at least the same level of privacy protection as is required by the relevant Safe Harbor Principles.

Adobe Systems Incorporated uses reasonable physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to protect your personal information from loss; misuse; or unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Adobe Systems Incorporated takes reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information we process is accurate, complete, and current by using the most recent information provided to us.

You can review, update, or delete your personal information. If you contact us with a request for access to your personal information, we will respond within 30 days.
