SanDisk Privacy Policy FAQ

Why does SanDisk have Privacy Policy?

We want you to be informed about what we do with personal information you share with us. SanDisk respects your privacy, and is committed to providing you with a positive experience on our website and in your other interactions with us.

The Privacy Policy explains our practices for handling personal information on- and off-line. If you provide us with personal information, we will treat it as outlined in the policy.

How will I know if the Privacy Policy has been updated?

If we update our Privacy Policy, we will post the revised policy in this location and will post a notice in a prominent location on our website. The Privacy Policy will state when it was last updated.

Where is the Privacy Policy located?

The SanDisk Privacy Policy is located  here or can be accessed from a link on the bottom of all local sandisk.com website pages, as well as other web properties to which the policy applies.

What types of personal information does SanDisk collect?

"Personal information" is information that can be used to identify you, including name, title, occupation, postal or physical address, telephone number, e-mail address, and other information required to carry out a transaction, provide a service or deliver a product you have requested. We collect and store community discussions, chats, correspondence through our Sites and correspondence sent to us.

We will not collect personal information from you if you have not given us your consent (approval) to do so. We will tell you why we wish to collect the personal information, and we will only use your personal information in the way and for the purposes we told you about when we collected it. We will not change the way in which your personal information is used unless we have your consent to do so.

Will SanDisk sell or give my personal information to third parties?

We are not in the business of selling your personal information. SanDisk does not share your personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes, unless you have expressly agreed that we can do so.

We do use service providers to help us run our business operations. For example, we work with service providers to support our online sales and email or other communications you may have asked us to send you. We require our service providers to protect your personal information, and they are never allowed to use your information other than for the purposes you said we could use your information - for example, to process your product registration request or to send you messages you have requested.

How does SanDisk protect my personal information?

We appreciate your trust in sharing your personal information with us, and we are committed to protecting it. We utilize a combination of industry-standard security technologies, procedures and organizational measures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.

What happens if a breach of security occurs and my information is taken?

Despite our efforts, there remains the possibility that information may be accessed, altered, disclosed, or destroyed due to a security breach. In the unlikely event of a breach of security, and we have a way and (if required) your permission to do so, we will notify you by email if your personal information was involved in any way.

Does the Privacy Policy relate to all countries?

Yes, the SanDisk Privacy Policy is applicable worldwide.

What are cookies and does SanDisk use them?

Cookies are small text files placed on your hard drive. We use cookies to personalize your online experience and improve our services to you. For example, cookies will remember the country or language preferences you selected on our web site. This saves you time, since you are not required to re-enter the same information each time you visit our site.

Can I reject all cookies?

You can modify your browser settings to control whether your computer accepts or declines cookies. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to use certain interactive features of our Sites. Note that you can always go back and delete cookies from your browser; however, that means that any settings or preferences controlled by those cookies will also be deleted and you may need to recreate them.

What are web beacons and does SanDisk use them?

Web beacons (also called single-pixel gifs) may be used to help deliver cookies on our sites and allow us to track the number of visitors who have visited those pages. We may also include web beacons in promotional email messages so we can track whether messages have been opened and acted upon.

Are there a minimum age requirements for participating in SanDisk websites?

If you are not of the age of majority where you live (generally, but not always, this is 18 years of age), you may use SanDisk Sites only with the involvement of your parent or guardian. SanDisk does not sell products for purchase by children.

SanDisk does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we learn that we inadvertently have collected personal information from a minor under the age of 13, we will delete that data from our systems.
