General statement

Protecting and respecting the privacy rights of the employees and parties with whom we do business, such as customers, suppliers and contractors, is critical to our success. All Kantar Media employees follow applicable law and policies regarding the responsible use of consumer, client, employee and others’ personal information and take care to protect such sensitive data from inappropriate or unauthorized use or disclosure.

  • Ask about and comply with all of the following as they apply to personal data: (i) applicable laws and regulations of locations from which the personal data is collected and in which it is processed or used; (ii) your internal and customer-facing privacy policies; and (iii) any applicable contractual obligations.
  • Be aware of personal data that is subject to specific laws, such as customer financial information, cable subscriber personally identifiable information and customer proprietary network information (“CPNI”), and consult with the Kantar Media lawyer if they have any questions.
  • Collect, process and use personal data for legitimate business purposes only.
  • Use “anonymous” data (names and other personal information removed and not identifiable) or “aggregated” data (summarized so as not to be identifiable to an individual) instead of personal data where appropriate or required.
