PRIVACY

We are committed to responsibly and appropriately using personal data as we
power the world with knowledge.
Privacy at Equifax
Data powers today’s modern economy. Equifax is committed to responsibly and
appropriately using personal data, striking a balance between respecting
individuals’ privacy and powering the world with knowledge. Equifax understands
people want more control over how their personal data is collected, used, shared
and protected. We’ve taken steps to provide individuals with more control over
their data and follow the below principles to guide our decisions regarding
data.

Equifax Privacy Statement

Equifax Online Behavioral Advertising Notice

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our Privacy Principles

Quality
At Equifax, data is at the core of our business, and we believe data-driven
knowledge drives progress. Equifax is committed to maintaining and using data
that is accurate, relevant, and timely.

Stewardship
Equifax recognizes that collecting data carries with it certain
responsibilities. We will be transparent about how we use and safeguard data in
our possession.

Discretion
Equifax understands our data powers important decisions. We will share data only
for legitimate purposes, respecting the importance of data in the lives of
individuals.

Partnerships
Privacy is a core concern when we share or receive data. We will evaluate both
sources and recipients of data for alignment with our values.

Designing for Privacy
Equifax recognizes privacy is an important societal value. Equifax will take
privacy into consideration as we grow our products, services, and standards.


Transparency and Control
We are committed to providing transparency over our collection, use, and sharing
of data, and providing you with greater control over your data. For our United
States business, we’ve consolidated most of our privacy policies into our new,
comprehensive Equifax Privacy Statement. Our revised privacy statement discusses
how we collect, use, and share data across all of our businesses, and provides
greater detail over the types of data we collect. We’re committed to continually
updating our privacy statement to reflect changes to our business and provide
you with ongoing transparency over the use of your data.

The privacy statement also describes the methods through which you can control
your data, as does our FCRA Summary of Rights page. Additionally, we are
committed to meeting the obligations of evolving and complex laws granting
individuals greater control over their data, both in the United States and
internationally. For example, we maintain websites through which individuals can
exercise their rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act and its
successor, the California Privacy Rights Act , the Virginia Consumer Data
Protection Act , the Colorado Privacy Act , the Connecticut Data Privacy Act ,
and the Utah Consumer Privacy Act . We also maintain websites through which
individuals can exercise their rights under international privacy laws,
including the Data Protection Act , the United Kingdom’s implementation of the
EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and our Australian Privacy
Policy describes how individuals can exercise their rights of access and
correction under the Australian Privacy Act.

Effective Governance
We are committed to embedding privacy into all aspects of our business, and we
believe that commitment should be transparent and accountable. That’s why we’ve
publicly committed to being an early adopter of the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) Privacy Framework.
