What our Privacy Statement is about.
Before we share more about our privacy program and practices, let’s make sure we are on the same page about the Workday business model and why it’s important to your privacy rights.
Workday is a leading provider of enterprise cloud applications for finance and human resources. This means Workday customers—companies, schools, and governments—use our software applications to manage their workforces and/or finances.
While Workday has a range of software applications, our flagship products are our human capital management (HCM) and financial management applications. Our HCM applications allow customers to recruit, hire, train, manage, and promote their workforce. Our financial management applications allow our customers to manage their finance processes, from record to report, procure to pay, and contract to cash.

We operate a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business model typically for enterprise customers, meaning we do not sell user data or monetize it by selling advertising. Instead, we sell subscriptions to our services. Our customers control their data and how it is used.
Some data protection laws in various jurisdictions distinguish between “controllers” and “processors” of personal information. While other jurisdictions may use different terminology, the concept typically remains the same. A controller decides why and how to process personal information. A processor only processes information on behalf of a controller based on the controller’s instruction; the processor does not make decisions about personal information. Workday may be either a controller or a processor, depending on the scenario.
This Privacy Statement applies when Workday is the data controller of your personal information (unless a different Workday privacy statement is displayed when we collect your personal information), and explains how Workday collects, uses, and shares your personal information for its own purposes. For example, this Privacy Statement covers when you:
- Visit a Workday website that links to this Privacy Statement
- Interact with Workday as a representative of a company that has an account with Workday (e.g. you are our customer or our supplier)
- Create or use an account offered directly by Workday (as opposed to our customers)
- Register for or attend a Workday marketing, learning, or training event or webinar
- Provide us with feedback about our products or services
- Receive a sales or marketing communication from us, including emails or telephone calls
This Privacy Statement does not cover how we process personal information on behalf of our enterprise customers as a processor. If you are an employee, a student, or a job applicant of an organization that uses a Workday product or service and you have questions or concerns about the personal information your organization holds in Workday about you (when Workday is a processor), please direct your request to that organization. Workday cannot respond directly to your request.
If you are a Workday employee or job applicant or you visit a Workday facility, information about how we use and protect your information is communicated to you in a separate statement.
How we collect and use your personal information.
Workday collects and uses personal information for various reasons. When we do so, we collect only the information we need, will explain to you how it will be used, and will use it in accordance with applicable laws.

For example, we may share a list of individuals attending a Workday event, or share inquiries from end users that should be addressed directly by the organization rather than Workday.
Additional disclosures:Workday may disclose data if we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal processes; (b) protect and defend our rights or property; (c) enforce our website Terms and Conditions; and/or (d) act to protect the interests of our customers, users, or others. If Workday goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your personal information may be among the assets transferred, provided that we inform the actual or potential buyer (or its agents and advisors) that it must use your personal information only for the purposes disclosed in this Privacy Statement.
We use technical and organizational measures that provide a level of security appropriate to the nature of the personal information and the risks that are presented by processing your personal information.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your password or other forms of authentication involved in accessing password-protected or secured resources.
Workday operates as a global business and complies with applicable legal requirements when we need to transfer, store, or process your personal information in a country outside your jurisdiction.
We take appropriate safeguards to protect your privacy, your fundamental rights and freedoms, and the ability to exercise your rights.

We retain your personal information for as long as we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax, or accounting requirements).
The criteria used to determine appropriate retention periods for personal information include:
- The length of time we have an ongoing business relationship with you
- The amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information we process
- Whether we have a legal obligation to retain personal information or whether retaining personal information is necessary to resolve disputes, including the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
Privacy Shield.
Workday adheres to the principles of the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks, although Workday no longer relies on the EU-U.S. or Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks as a legal basis for transfers of personal information in light of the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union in Case C-311/18.
