Privacy Policy Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

These FAQs only supplement the complete privacy policy.

Q: The policy was last updated on April 21, 2006. What changed?
A: Intel did not remove any privacy protections, but revised the privacy policy to provide better usability for the end user and provide more details on personal data collection.

We enhanced the following sections to more clearly explain our policy and practices:

• Uses of personal information
• Accessing and updating your personal information
• Unsubscribing
• Sharing your personal information
• Security of your personal information
• Data retention
• Transfer of personal information

In addition, we added two sections, non-personal information collection and personalization, to inform end users on Intel's policy for collection of aggregate data and customization of websites.

For detail changes of our privacy policy, please see our version changes (see text from the previous version). For future material changes to this policy, Intel will provide a prominent notice on our Web site prior to implementing the change. Should a change involve a material new use of information, Intel will also provide those affected with a prior and meaningful opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prevent that new use.
