At Dell, helping you manage privacy and the protection of personal information is among our
primary concerns. That's why, when you choose Dell, we help you maintain control over
personal information about you. Below are the guidelines we use for protecting the
information you provide us during your experience with our company through any means,
such as when you use our web sites, interact with us through our products and other
services, when we speak with you over the telephone, and if you work directly with our
technical support teams. We also want you to be aware that we take careful measures
surrounding the information that you provide through any of our online support offerings
such as support.dell.com or support applications loaded on your computer. Please refer to
your warranty statements or service contracts, or Dell's Return Policy for policies that
apply to information contained on hard drives returned or downloaded to Dell.

campaign called Online E-ssentials, developed by Dell in partnership with the National
Consumers League.
Scope
This summary provides highlights of the full Dell Global Privacy Policy and applies to Dell
Inc. and its worldwide corporate affiliates ("we" or "our") but not to those Dell corporate
affiliates that operate and have published their own privacy and security policies,
including but not limited to Dell Financial Services and Alienware. This privacy statement
also does not apply to the web sites of our business partners or to any other third parties,
even if their web sites are linked to our web site. We recommend you review the privacy
policies of each web site you visit.
This privacy statement governs only personal information we collect from our customers and
online from our web site users ("you"), through Dell products, services, software, web
sites, contacts and/or relationship with you. Please refer to your warranty statements,
service contracts, or Dell's Return Policy for policies that apply to information contained
on hard drives returned or downloaded to Dell.
For the purposes of this privacy statement, "corporate affiliates" means any entity or joint
venture that is wholly or partially owned or controlled by Dell Inc. "Business partners"
means any subcontractor, vendor or other entity with whom we have an ongoing business
relationship to provide products, services, or information. "Personal information" means
information which identifies you, such as your name, telephone number, and email address.
In some cases, the policy may be tailored to account for variances in law in a particular
country. However, this policy is intended to be global in nature.
