Equifax Privacy Policy

This document is Equifax's main privacy policy, covering how Equifax collects, uses, and shares personal data across its businesses. It commits Equifax to being transparent about those practices and to sharing data only for legitimate purposes. Depending on where you live, Equifax provides dedicated websites where you can exercise your privacy rights — including rights under California, Colorado, Connecticut, and Delaware law.

The Equifax Privacy Policy establishes Equifax's stated commitments to transparency over its collection, use, and sharing of data across all of its businesses, and to providing individuals with greater control over their data both in the United States and internationally. The policy consolidates most Equifax U.S. business privacy policies into a single comprehensive statement and describes, at an enterprise level, the types of data Equifax collects and how it is used and safeguarded. Data sharing is conditioned on legitimate purposes, though that term is not defined within the provisions. The policy identifies Equifax as a data broker under Texas law and surfaces the associated state registration requirement, and it directs Australian individuals to a separate Australian Privacy Policy for statutory access and correction rights. Equifax maintains dedicated online channels through which individuals may exercise rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, Colorado Privacy Act, Connecticut Data Privacy Act, and Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act.

As an individual, this policy tells you that Equifax collects, uses, and shares data about you across its businesses and commits to being transparent about those practices. Equifax states it will share your data only for legitimate purposes and will be transparent about how it uses and safeguards data in its possession. If you are a California resident, you can exercise your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act through a dedicated Equifax website; residents of Colorado, Connecticut, and Delaware each have a corresponding dedicated Equifax website for their respective state privacy rights. Australian individuals are directed to a separate Australian Privacy Policy to exercise access and correction rights under the Australian Privacy Act.
