Business Practices

Privacy

Sun's vision for equal participation on the network requires that we continually work to protect the privacy of everyone participating on the network, no matter who or where they are. In fact, we view data protection as a fundamental corporate responsibility.

Global Employee Privacy Protection

Sun has one privacy standard worldwide to better protect our employees' privacy, no matter where they are located.

We conduct training sessions to provide any person who touches data at any point — employees and vendors, from collection to deletion — with the information and the tools they need to meet our high standards.

Protecting Non-employee Privacy

Sun's customer privacy policy governs all personally identifiable data that pertains to non-employees, whether they be consumers of our technologies, partners, attendees at our Sun events, or casual browsers on our Web properties. And much like our employee policy, our customer privacy policy is designed to respect the data of all who interact with us, regardless of the individual's geographic location.

Sun's data protection team partners with our stakeholders across the business to help ensure that respect for personally identifiable information remains one of our global core values and competencies.

Information Security: Making the Network Secure

"The Network is the Computer" has been a vision and belief of Sun from our very beginning. But we also understand that this is only true if the network is secure and participation is safe. That is why Sun has a dedicated staff responsible for information security throughout our organization, encompassing our business practices as well as our products and services.

When it comes to our products and services, Sun takes a whole-system approach to security and compliance. The Sun Systemic Security program integrates layered protections directly into essential IT infrastructure. And with our partners, we also provide services to help customers manage their risk, comply with regulations, and achieve business growth.
