Cisco Privacy Statement

This update is almost entirely cosmetic. Cisco removed the 'Trust Center' promo box, dropped a few broken internal anchor links (they now point nowhere instead of to a working page), added a link to a CCPA metrics report and a new plain-language summary page, and changed heading levels and the effective date. The 'Questions, comments, and how to contact us' section with the privacy officer mailing addresses was removed from this excerpt, but no substantive rights, data practices, or legal terms changed.

Some reference links are now brokenA handful of 'see this section' links inside the policy (and the contact-us link) no…

A handful of 'see this section' links inside the policy (and the contact-us link) no longer point to a working page, they're empty placeholders. This doesn't change your rights, but it could make it harder to find or follow a referenced section if you're trying to look something up.

Cisco-U.S. has also certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles with regards to the processing of Personal Data received from Switzerland in reliance on the Swiss-U.S. DPF.

 Residents of the State of California, under California Civil Code § 1798.83, have the right to request from companies conducting business in California a list of all third parties to which the company has disclosed Personal Data during the preceding year for direct marketing purposes.

 Cisco has a comprehensive Privacy Statement and provides you with details on how you may either opt-out or opt-in to the use of your Personal Data by third parties for direct marketing purposes. Therefore, we are not required to maintain nor disclose a list of the third parties that received your Personal Data for marketing purposes during the preceding year.
