Our privacy principles.
我们致力于三个隐私普林西普les that reflect our core values:
We put privacy first.
We innovate responsibly.
We safeguard fairness and trust.
These privacy principles drive how we train our employees, how we design and build products and ultimately how we process personal data.
Privacy protections have been a fundamental component of our services from the beginning. We embed privacy into our people, processes and technology, and our configurable privacy tools help customers meet complex privacy needs.
We embrace the concept of privacy by design. We understand that privacy requirements may differ based on industry, geography and approach. To help you meet your obligations, Workday products include configurable privacy tools. Read more about how we embrace the keyprinciples of privacy.
A comprehensive compliance programme underpins our privacy practices. We demonstrate how we protect your data through our robust third-party audits and certifications, and are often among the first to receive them.

Global data privacy.
Workday recognises privacy as a fundamental human right and supports the free flow of data. As the focus on privacy grows around the world, you need a partner to support your organisation as data protection issues become more complex.
At Workday, you can rest assured that we’re committed to staying on top of global privacy standards. Using our core principles as our guide, we develop our products, business practices and customer agreements in accordance with global data privacy requirements.
We also monitor changing regulations and guidance that supervisory authorities issue. And we contractually commit to comply with all laws applicable to Workday as a data processor, including data privacy laws.
Instead of chasing down your vendors to address the latest privacy laws, we make it easy to use Workday for your global workforce. We identify opportunities to help our customers with cross-border data transfers. Whether it’s receiving approval for ourProcessor Binding Corporate Rulesor being the first company to receive approval for the APEC Privacy Rules for Processors, we find innovative ways to help you with your transfers. Our Master Subscription Agreement (MSA) includes the European Commission’sStandard Contractual Clauses(SCC), which enable the transfer of personal data from the European Economic Area to the United States.
We partner with our global customers as you conduct any necessary Transfer Impact Assessments (TIA), prior to transferring personal data to third-party countries. We proactively share information, such as FAQs and whitepapers, to help you navigate these assessments.
Data privacy regulations and laws vary across regions and countries. We closely monitor evolving data protection requirements in countries where we do business. Based on our analysis, we revisit and revise our administrative, technical and operational practices.
Data privacy requirements also vary by company, as they depend on a company’s industry, the types of personal data collected, policy commitments and any relevant internal compliance processes. We’re ready to help you understand how our programme supports your compliance needs.
