Technology is changing the way information is collected, used, stored, and shared. The line is blurring between intranets—internal computer networks for organizations and their employees—and the Internet, as people increasingly share company information publicly via open-source networks, collaboration Web sites, wikis, social networking applications such as Facebook, and other online communities.
Factors such as globalization and increasing numbers of nontechnical users coming online also change the way we view technology and the data that can be accessed by our technological tools. All these reasons together are leading individuals and enterprises to demand new levels of rigor and transparency from the organizations that manage personally identifiable, confidential, and other protected forms of data.

To address the risks these changes present, Sun's privacy program is designed as a horizontal business function, enlisting champions across the company to build data-privacy and data-management awareness, control, and innovation into our business practices.
We recognize that our software, hardware, and services are deployed around the world to support the access, management, storage, encryption, deletion, and fluid movement of the information that fuels industry and society. We consider data governance to be an integral part of the way we design the products and services that we share with the world.
