Protecting our customers' privacy is a top priority. As a world leader in Internet security, that should go without saying. We understand and respect your desire to protect your personal information. That's why we have a comprehensive and transparent privacy policy, so you can choose what information to share with Symantec and how that information is used. For more, read our complete privacy policy, and learn about all of our Consumer Protection efforts.
Symantec recently enhanced privacy protection efforts by appointing the Chief Information Officer to serve as the company’s Chief Privacy Officer and by forming a Privacy Council composed of executives from each business unit. In 2007 we hired an Information Privacy Lead to drive internal and external privacy initiatives, and we also set up a dedicated email box (privacy@symantec.com) to field inquiries regarding our privacy policies and issues.
Symantec hosted a Data Privacy Day on January 28, 2008, in conjunction and coordination with the International Association of Privacy Professionals. Hundreds of employees worldwide attended training sessions on the importance of privacy. Mandatory privacy awareness training for all Symantec employees was launched in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 with training materials available in six languages.
Email spamming from third parties is a growing problem on the Internet. Spam campaigns can include misinformation about Symantec and our products. We want to assure you that we take our customers' privacy very seriously and want to provide you with the tools and information to protect yourself against suspicious spam, as well as pirated software or credit card fraud.
