Summary

This is ADP's privacy policy governing how the company handles personal data across its global operations, covering website visitors, business contacts, current and prospective client employees, and ADP's own workforce. The policy discloses that ADP processes client employee payroll, HR, and benefits data as a data processor on behalf of employer clients, meaning individuals seeking access to or deletion of that data must generally direct requests to their employer rather than to ADP directly. The policy also states that ADP has adopted EU Binding Corporate Rules for transferring client employee data and associate data across its global entity network, a regulatory approval-based cross-border transfer mechanism under GDPR.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document is ADP's global privacy statement governing the collection, use, and transfer of personal data for multiple distinct data subject categories: website visitors, business contacts, client employees whose HR and payroll data ADP processes as a data processor, and ADP's own associates. The policy states that ADP acts as a data controller for its own marketing and business contact data, and as a data processor for client employee data under contractual instruction from employer clients. A structurally notable feature is ADP's adoption of Binding Corporate Rules (BCR) approved by EU supervisory authorities for both intra-group transfers of client employee data and associate data, providing a named cross-border transfer mechanism under GDPR rather than relying solely on Standard Contractual Clauses. The policy engages GDPR and EU data protection law as its primary regulatory framework, with explicit references to BCR approval, data subject rights under GDPR, and lawful bases for processing; it also references jurisdiction-specific notices for California (CCPA), Canada, and other countries through linked regional supplements. Material compliance considerations include the layered controller-processor distinction that determines which rights individuals can exercise directly against ADP versus their employer, and the scope of third-party data sharing with service providers, analytics vendors, and advertising partners observed in the site's technical infrastructure.

What changed ADP updated a phone number in the footer of its Privacy Policy from 877-840-2328 to 844-646-0618. This is a contact routing change and does not alter the substantive terms, rights, or protections described in the privacy policy itself. The updated number appears to be for general sales inquiries rather than a privacy-specific contact.
Why this matters This change affects how consumers contact ADP regarding sales inquiries or general support, but does not modify any privacy rights, data handling practices, or substantive terms of the Privacy Policy. The updated phone number is a routing change only. No action is required unless you need to contact ADP's sales or support team, in which case use the new number 844-646-0618.

What changed ADP updated a customer service phone number in their privacy policy from 888-586-0098 to 877-840-2328. This is a minor administrative change affecting how customers can reach the company for privacy-related questions or concerns. The substantive privacy terms and data practices remain unchanged.
Why this matters This change has no impact on ADP's privacy practices, data collection, retention, or your rights. The company has simply updated the phone number customers should call to reach their privacy team. If you need to contact ADP about privacy concerns, use the new number 877-840-2328 instead of the previous 888-586-0098.
