Summary

This document establishes NVIDIA's data collection, use, and disclosure practices across its websites, applications, hardware products, cloud services, and AI tools including NIM. The policy authorizes collection of personal identifiers, contact information, device identifiers, browsing activity, purchase history, location data, and content inputted into AI tools, with stated provisions permitting use of such content for AI model training and improvement. The policy establishes opt-out mechanisms for certain AI training data uses and targeted advertising, accessible through NVIDIA's privacy preference center.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document is NVIDIA Corporation's global Privacy Policy, governing the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of personal information across NVIDIA's websites, applications, products, and services worldwide, with stated legal bases including consent, legitimate interests, and contractual necessity depending on jurisdiction. The policy states that NVIDIA collects identifiers, contact information, device and usage data, financial information, location data, inferences, and in some contexts biometric and health-related information, and the terms authorize sharing this data with service providers, business partners, advertising and analytics vendors, data brokers, and affiliated entities. The policy reserves the right to use personal data for AI and machine learning model training when users interact with NVIDIA AI products and services, a practice that engages ongoing regulatory scrutiny in multiple jurisdictions and that the agreement asserts is subject to opt-out mechanisms, though the practical scope of those mechanisms and the identifiability of data used in training are not fully specified. The policy explicitly addresses GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and references rights frameworks applicable in the EU, EEA, UK, California, and other jurisdictions, with NVIDIA asserting a range of data subject rights including access, deletion, correction, portability, and objection; compliance practitioners should evaluate whether NVIDIA's stated lawful bases, cross-border transfer mechanisms, and opt-out procedures satisfy applicable regulatory requirements in each operative jurisdiction. The breadth of data categories collected, the scope of third-party sharing authorized, and the AI training use case create material compliance considerations particularly under GDPR Articles 5, 6, 13, 14, and 17, CCPA/CPRA, and the EU AI Act, with enforcement authority distributed across EU Data Protection Authorities, the UK ICO, the FTC, and state attorneys general.

What changed The NVIDIA Privacy Policy document was updated on June 24, 2026, with two sentences modified in the Industries section and document header area. Specifically, the Industries section removed references to 'Cybersecurity', 'Game Development', 'Manufacturing', and 'Smart Cities Supercomputing' and reorganized the industry listings. The effective date remains September 22, 2025. These changes appear to be organizational restructuring of how NVIDIA categorizes industry verticals on its website rather than changes to substantive privacy practices or data handling obligations.
Why this matters The changes to the NVIDIA Privacy Policy on June 24, 2026 involve reorganization of how the company categorizes industry verticals on its public-facing policy document. The substantive privacy commitments, data collection practices, and user rights stated in the policy remain unchanged.

What changed NVIDIA removed 27 sentences from its Privacy Policy on June 12, 2026, including all language describing how the company and third-party partners use cookies and tracking technologies. The updated policy no longer discloses information about cookie collection, consent mechanisms ('Accept All', 'Manage Settings'), Global Privacy Control signal handling, or the types of information collected through tracking tools. The policy previously stated these practices explicitly; the updated version contains no equivalent disclosure of these data collection and tracking activities.
Why this matters The updated Privacy Policy removes all disclosure language about how NVIDIA and third-party partners use cookies and other tracking technologies. Previously, the policy stated that cookies were used 'to collect and record information' for 'performance improvement, analytics, and to assist in our marketing efforts' and described consent mechanisms like 'Accept All' and 'Manage Settings'. The updated policy contains no equivalent disclosure of these tracking practices, data collection methods, or consent options. You can review NVIDIA's full Privacy Policy at their Privacy Center, though the updated version no longer describes cookie and tracking technology practices that were previously disclosed.
