Summary of Key Points

At Adobe we take data privacy seriously. We believe in transparency so you can control your data and make informed choices about how it is used. We are here to support and protect your privacy decisions wherever you use our products and services. Adobe prioritizes your control over the data you store in the cloud in the following ways:

• This policy explains when we process personal information for our legitimate interests. You can ask us to stop processing this information. Learn more about your rights and how you can exercise them.
• This policy also explains when we will first get your consent before processing your personal information, including when doing so is required by law.
• We use your personal information to enable you to register with Adobe and to provide you with our Services and Software, and other products or services that you request. Learn more.
• We provide interactive features that engage with social media sites, such as Facebook. If you use these features, these sites will send us personal information about you. Learn more.

What does this privacy policy cover?

This privacy policy describes how Adobe (also referred to as "we," "us" or "our") will make use of your information in the context of:

• Adobe websites and web-based services (together referred to as "websites");
• Services that display or include a reference to this policy;
• Adobe’s marketing, sales, and advertising practices;
• The privacy practices of previously acquired companies, unless otherwise noted here.

This privacy policy applies when (i) Adobe provides products and services directly to an individual (such as when you buy on Adobe.com or units via resellers) or (ii) Adobe collects usage information from employee users of Adobe enterprise customers (unless otherwise directed by an enterprise customer). In (i) and (ii), we are considered the “data controller” because we determine what personal data will be collected and how it will be handled, as detailed and allowed per this policy.

In contrast, Adobe is considered the “data processor” and not the data controller when enterprise customers such as businesses or educational institutions, use Adobe products and services (e.g., Adobe Experience Cloud) to support their own provision of products and services to individuals since Adobe acts at the direction of these enterprise customers regarding any collection or processing of data on their behalf. This privacy policy does not apply to the data Adobe enterprise customers may collect from individuals or their uses of that data. For questions about any specific organization’s data practices in these scenarios, please contact the organization directly. You can also find more privacy information about Adobe Experience Cloud here.

In some cases, different or additional privacy and data protection policies and notices apply.

Some of our products and services have different or extra privacy details to consider. For example, when we acquire a company, their privacy policy and notices apply until such time as Adobe’s privacy practices are implemented. Also, certain products and locations have additional privacy policies and notices that may apply. You can find these, along with other relevant policies, on our Additional Privacy Policies page within the Adobe Privacy Center.
