What this means for you

The updated privacy statement removes extensive disclosures about Dun & Bradstreet's data processing practices, ethical commitments, certifications, and individual rights procedures. Previously, the policy described the company's core values, ethical principles, ISO certifications, cross-border privacy frameworks, data broker registrations in multiple states, and how individuals could exercise rights. The revised statement now provides minimal substantive guidance. Under the updated terms, users will find substantially less information about how their data is processed, what protections apply, and how to contact the company regarding their rights.
