For more information on cookies, please refer to our Cookie Notice.

We do not have actual knowledge that we sell or share personal information of minors under 16 years of age. DFIN does not conduct business directly with individual consumers. Our business relationships are business-to-business (B2B).

Data Transfers

As a global organization with legal entities and business processes in operation across borders, we cannot always limit the processing of personal information to the country in which an individual is based. In the course of providing our services, DFIN may need to transfer personal information to locations outside the jurisdiction in which our clients are located or where our Sites are viewed. We design processes to comply and ensure adequate safeguards for the transfer of personal information.

Data transfers between the U.S., EU, UK, and other countries will be done subject to compliance with applicable law and appropriate technical and organization safeguards. This includes onward transfers to third parties. DFIN requests our third parties to implement the necessary safeguards to protect personal information both in transit and at rest. DFIN transfers personal information to third parties only for limited and specified purposes.

EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework

DFIN complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF), the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Swiss-EU DPF) as set forth by the International Trade Administration (ITA) of the U.S. Department of Commerce. DFIN certifies that it adheres to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (EU-U.S. DPF Principles) in regard to the processing, collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Union, United Kingdom (and Gibraltar), and Switzerland to the United States in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF. DFIN has certified to the Department of Commerce that it adheres to the EU-U.S. DPF Principles with respect to such information. DFIN commits to respond promptly to any inquiries or requests made by the Department of Commerce relating to the EU-U.S. DPF. If there is any conflict between the terms in this Privacy Notice and the EU-U.S. DPF Principles, the EU-U.S. DPF Principles shall govern. To learn more about the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework program, and to view our certification, please visit https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/.

  • In compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, DFIN commits to cooperate and comply respectively with the advice of the panel established by the EU Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) and the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) with regard to unresolved complaints concerning our handling of human resources (HR) data received in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF in the context of the employment relationship.
  • In compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF Principles, DFIN commits to resolving complaints about our collection or use of your personal information at no cost to the individual. EU, UK, and Swiss individuals with inquiries or complaints regarding DFIN’s use of their personal information should contact DFIN’s Global Data Privacy department at dataprivacy@dfinsolutions.com. DFIN will respond to your inquiry within 45 days.
  • For complaints submitted to a data protection authority (DPA) in the EU, the Department of Commerce has committed to receive, review, and undertake best efforts to facilitate resolution of the complaint and to respond to the DPA within 90 days.

In the event of a reported complaint that DFIN does not resolve itself, DFIN commits to cooperate with EU DPAs, the UK ICO (and the Gibraltar Regulatory Authority (GRA)), and the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC). We will comply with the advice given by each respective regulatory body regarding HR and non-human resource data transferred from the EU and/or UK, as well as non-human resource data transferred from Switzerland to DFIN. DFIN does not transfer HR data from Switzerland. Data transfers between the U.S. and the EU, UK, and Switzerland respectively will be done subject to compliance with the DPF Principles, applicable law, and appropriate technical and organization safeguards. This includes onward transfers to third parties. In the U.S., DFIN has chosen the EU DPAs, the UK ICO, and the Swiss FDPIC to serve as independent recourse mechanisms (IRMs) for dispute resolutions.

Under certain conditions, more fully described on the Data Privacy Framework website, you may invoke binding arbitration when other dispute resolution procedures have been exhausted. DFIN is accordingly subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC). In certain circumstances, DFIN may also be subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of other U.S. authorized statutory bodies.

DFIN takes appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard all personal information against unauthorized or unlawful processing of, or accidental loss, damage, misuse, unauthorized access, unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized alteration, or destruction, and maintains reasonable procedures to help ensure that such information is relevant for its intended use, accurate, complete, current and not excessive and that such information is not retained longer than is reasonably necessary.

With respect to any sharing of business contact information for the purposes of marketing DFIN products and services, DFIN obtains assurances from its affiliates, subsidiaries, and business partners that such entities will use and disclose such business contact information for purposes of marketing DFIN products and services only. In alignment with our EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework certification, we acknowledge that we may be required by applicable law to disclose personal information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. DFIN will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure any data is processed lawfully. 

How We Protect Your Personal Information

The security of your personal information is important to us. We use reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the personal information we collect from loss, theft, misuse, alteration and unauthorized access or destruction. In addition, we maintain appropriate physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information, including:

  • Restricting access to personal information to our employees or service providers on a “need-to-know” basis.
  • Enforcing policies and procedures for our employees in their handling of personal information.
  • Using technologies designed to safeguard data during its transmission, such as SSL encryption for the information you provide on some parts of our Site(s) and using appropriate security to safeguard the data that we have received.

DFIN also employs industry-standard measures and processes for detecting and responding to inappropriate attempts to breach our systems.

There is, however, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage that can be 100% secure. Therefore, DFIN cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. The Internet by its nature is a public forum, and DFIN encourages you to use caution when disclosing information online. Often, you are in the best situation to protect yourself online. You are responsible for protecting your username and password from third party access, and for selecting passwords that are secure.

DFIN Products

We commit to using data privacy principles and strategies to implement Privacy by Design and Default whenever possible within our applications, practices, and organization. DFIN incorporates various technologies into our applications to streamline data-gathering and reporting processes, protect and secure data, enhance user experience, and efficiently improve performance. Depending on the product(s) in scope, the utilization of these technologies may include but are not limited to: artificial intelligence (AI) powered software, automated data extraction, natural language processing technology combined with machine learning, the study of algorithms, tokenized redaction, proprietary pattern matching technology, redaction masking or anonymization to data files, single sign-on (SSO) access, built-in and customized exception and audit reporting, data integration, built-in safeguards to flag non-compliance requirements, streamlined features for safe real-time collaboration and accurate financial reporting, AES 256-bit encryption at rest and in transit, multifactor authentication (MFA), robust role-based access control (RBAC), cloud-based workflow tools, in-app automated publishing capabilities, and Straight Through Processing (STP). These and other technologies continuously provide effective, robust, and innovative forward protections over DFIN’s clients, employees, and stakeholders' personal information.

How We Monitor and Enforce

DFIN regularly reviews our compliance with our Privacy Notice. We also adhere to several self-regulatory frameworks in addition to complying with applicable laws. If we receive formal written complaints, we will follow up with the person making the complaint. We work with the appropriate regulatory authorities to resolve any complaints that cannot be resolved directly.

How Long We Keep Your Personal Information

We will keep your personal information while you have an account with us, or we are providing products or services to you. Thereafter, we will keep your personal information for as long as is necessary to:

  • Respond to any questions, complaints or claims made by you or on your behalf.
  • Keep records required by applicable laws and regulations or DFIN's retention and deletion policies.

We will not retain your personal information for longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice.

Your Rights and Choices

Under specific global privacy laws, individuals are afforded certain rights related to the handling and processing of their personal information. DFIN respects your rights and your exercising of these rights. DFIN will make reasonable efforts to comply with your requests, unless such requests are prohibited by law, or there is a legitimate business purpose to retain personal information. We reserve the right to verify your identity before complying with such requests.

As permitted under applicable law, you may have the right to access and review personal information stored by us to confirm its accuracy. If necessary, you may request that personal information is updated if it is inaccurate. You may also have the right to request that certain personal information be corrected, amended, or deleted from our files. Your rights may also include limiting the use and disclosure of your personal information and restricting the processing of it. To exercise these rights and others (as permitted under applicable law), you may be required to log into your account or contact us at dataprivacy@dfinsolutions.com.

Please direct any questions about your personal information to DFIN’s Global Data Privacy department at dataprivacy@dfinsolutions.com.

In accordance with this Privacy Notice, where we receive personal information directly from an individual to which such personal information relates, where applicable, we will offer the individual the opportunity to choose (opt-out) whether their personal information is (i) disclosed to a third party or (ii) used for a purpose that is materially different from the purpose it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual. This will not apply to transfers of data to third parties performing tasks on our behalf – at our instruction.

Any individual who wishes to opt out can do so by contacting DFIN at the address provided below under the section of this Privacy Notice entitled “How to Contact Us.”

In situations where we receive personal information pertaining to individuals directly from our clients (and not the individual to whom the personal information relates), we will cooperate with our clients’ reasonable requests to:

  • Assist them in informing the impacted individuals about (i) the possibility that we may disclose such individuals’ information to third parties and (ii) the individual’s ability to opt out of such disclosures (except for disclosures to third parties performing tasks directly on our behalf and pursuant to our instructions).
  • Reasonably ensure that we process the information for purposes compatible with the purposes for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the impacted individuals. After we have notified our clients, they will then inform us if any individuals have opted out of such disclosures.

In situations where DFIN processes “sensitive personal information”, we will seek informed express consent (opt in) from individuals if such information is to be disclosed to a third-party (except for disclosures to third parties performing tasks directly on our behalf and pursuant to our instructions) or used for purposes that are materially different from the purpose it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual.

California Consumer Rights and Choices

The CCPA has extended these rights to be afforded to all employees who are residents of California. Under the CCPA, employees are defined as: full or part-time employees, independent contractors, and/or job applicants who are residents of California.

A Right to Know request may be submitted twice within a 12-month period, free of charge.

Exercising the Right to Delete personal information is subject to certain exceptions under CCPA.

  • DFIN is not required to delete personal information if it is still needed in order to complete the transaction for which the information was collected, provide a product or service requested by you (or that we reasonably anticipate based on our relationship with you), perform a contract with you, comply with legal obligations, or accomplish any other objective recognized as an exception to the right to deletion under CCPA.

Exercising Your Rights

DFIN will never charge you or discriminate against you for choosing to exercise your rights. DFIN will make reasonable efforts to comply with all consumer rights requests. Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information.

An authorized agent can make a request on a California residents’ behalf by providing a power of attorney valid under California law, or providing: (i) proof that the consumer authorized the agent to do so; (ii) verification of their own identity with respect to a right to know categories, right to know specific pieces of personal information, or requests to delete which are outlined above; and (iii) direct confirmation that the consumer provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.

You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. DFIN reserves the right to verify your identity before any request to know, access, update, correct, or delete your personal information is processed by us. The verifiable consumer request must provide sufficient information that allows DFIN to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative, as well as describe your request with sufficient detail that allows DFIN to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. We will verify your identity to a reasonable degree of certainty by matching the data points provided by you against information in our systems which are considered reasonably reliable for the purposes of verifying a consumer’s identity.

The CCPA grants businesses 45 days to respond to a consumer rights request. An extension period of up to an additional 90 days is allowed.

All California Consumer Rights requests including deletion requests can be emailed directly to dataprivacy@dfinsolutions.com.

Individuals who would like to opt-out of correspondence or modify their online communications preferences with DFIN, should go to DFIN’s online Preference Center at: https://info.dfinsolutions.com/preferencecenter.

This section does not address or apply to our handling of:

  • Publicly available information from government records.
  • Information excluded from the CCPA's scope, such as health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and personal information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), or the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).
  • De-identified or aggregated consumer information. De-identified information is data that has had all personally identified information removed from it. Aggregated information is numerical or non-numerical information that is compiled into data summaries or summary reports for data statistics or public reporting.

Other Privacy Laws

  • New York SHIELD Act (New York). The New York Stop Hacks and Improve Electronic Data (SHIELD) Security Act applies to any person or business that owns or licenses computerized data which includes private information, regardless of corporate structure, revenues, or location. DFIN conducts business within New York (NY) state and has realigned its processes and procedures to adhere to the requirements established within the SHIELD Act to support the protection of New York residents’ personal and private information.
  • PIPEDA (Canada). DFIN has controls in place to ensure that the privacy of personal information about an “identifiable individual” used in the course of “commercial activity” is protected and managed in such a manner which meets or exceeds the guidelines set out in Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial legislation.
  • GDPR (EU and UK). DFIN may act as a Controller or a Processor under the EU and United Kingdom (UK) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In respect of business customers located in the U.S., UK, EU, and other locations worldwide, DFIN operates as a data processor. DFIN’s business customers remain the data controllers with respect to any customer data that they provide to DFIN for our provision of services. DFIN therefore acts in accordance with the instructions of such customers regarding the collection, processing, storage, deletion, access, rectification, portability, and transfer of customer data. The handling and safeguarding of personal information concerning EU-based and UK-based citizens is a matter of course for DFIN globally and an integral part of DFIN’s corporate governance.
  • Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). DFIN does not sell or offer its services and products to children. As such, our Site(s) are designed for adult user interaction. We do not intentionally collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a minor under the age of 13 and believe that the minor has disclosed personal information to us, please contact us by following the “How to Contact Us” below.

Recruitment

When you apply for an employment opportunity at DFIN through our Careers site or through other third-party platforms, we may collect certain personal information from your job application or where applicable from your personal references (provided by you), your educational institute, or any other relevant professional body. This may include name, postal address, email address, phone number, details of your qualifications, job history, curriculum vitae, contact details of your references and any other personal information submitted along with your application.

DFIN processes your personal information as necessary for the purposes of fulfilling certain legal obligations related to recruitment, for example where employment law or other laws require the processing of your personal information. We may process personal information in reliance on our legitimate business interests in the selection, evaluation and appointment of new employees, and the management and administration of recruitment and HR processes. On occasion, legal grounds such as the protection of your vital interests may also apply. For example, for health and safety reasons, if you attend an interview at one of our offices or in relation to agreements with employee representation groups, if applicable.

We retain the personal information that we obtain about you during the recruitment process for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. The duration for which we keep your information will depend on whether your application is successful, and whether you become employed by us, the nature of the information concerned, and the purposes for which it is processed.
