Summary

This document is Dun & Bradstreet's privacy policy describing its collection, processing, and sharing of business and professional data. D&B is registered as a data broker in California, Oregon, Vermont, and Texas, and the policy establishes procedures for data collection from public sources, business records, and third-party providers. The policy authorizes D&B to license professional contact information, business role data, and associated analytics to third parties, and establishes a data subject rights portal through which individuals may submit requests for access, correction, or deletion of their records.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document is D&B's 'Privacy, Data and AI Transparency Statement' landing page, governing the company's data processing disclosures for Dun & Bradstreet entities operating in the U.S. and globally, grounded in its stated values of accountability, transparency, and responsible data stewardship. The statement asserts that D&B processes data on 600M+ organizations worldwide, aggregates and generates data including scores, ratings, and analytics, and commits to respecting individual data subject rights through a TrustArc-hosted rights request portal. Notably, the document discloses that D&B, Inc., Eyeota Pte. Ltd., and NetWise Data, LLC are each registered as data brokers in multiple U.S. states including California, Oregon, Vermont, and Texas, which is operationally distinct from standard enterprise software or SaaS privacy disclosures and places D&B squarely within data broker regulatory regimes. The document engages GDPR, CCPA and its CPPA enforcement regime, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, UK extension thereof, APEC CBPR, ISO 27701 (PIMS), and ISO 27001 (ISMS), with certifications including TRUSTe Responsible AI (2024) and Global CBPR (2025); compliance obligations under these frameworks vary significantly by jurisdiction and entity. Material compliance considerations include the multi-entity data broker registration structure across subsidiaries, the scope of AI system use disclosed on linked sub-pages, and the adequacy of data subject rights mechanisms for individuals who may not know their data is held by D&B.

What changed Dun & Bradstreet's privacy policy was updated on June 4, 2026 to add new language requiring users to enable Chat Cookies before using chat functionality. The updated policy now states: 'Enabling and using chat functionality requires accepting Chat Cookies. You can do so by clicking Enable Chat Cookies below or by managing your cookie preferences.' Previously, this requirement was not explicitly stated. The change establishes a cookie consent gate for chat access.
Why this matters The updated policy establishes a cookie consent requirement for chat functionality. Users must either click 'Enable Chat Cookies' or manage cookie preferences to use Dun & Bradstreet's chat feature. This reflects a standard consent gate for non-essential cookies and aligns with common privacy practice. You can control chat cookie settings by clicking 'Enable Chat Cookies' or accessing cookie preference controls.
