NVIDIA may transfer your personal data to other countries, including the United States, and states it uses Standard Contractual Clauses or other approved mechanisms to make those transfers lawful under applicable data protection law.

The policy discloses that personal data may be transferred internationally and that NVIDIA relies on Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms; the adequacy of these mechanisms and NVIDIA's implementation of supplementary safeguards is relevant for EU/EEA and UK users.
Interpretive note: The specific transfer mechanisms used for each data category and destination country are not enumerated in the available policy text, and whether transfer impact assessments have been conducted is not disclosed.
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.

"Your personal information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the country in which you reside. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from the laws of your country. We take appropriate measures to ensure that such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws, including the use of Standard Contractual Clauses or other approved transfer mechanisms.— Excerpt from NVIDIA NIM's NVIDIA Privacy Policy
1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision directly implicates GDPR Chapter V (Articles 44 through 49), which restricts transfers of personal data to third countries without adequate safeguards. The EU-US Data Privacy Framework, Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the European Commission, and the UK International Data Transfer Agreement are the primary mechanisms referenced. The Court of Justice of the European Union's Schrems II ruling requires that supplementary technical and organizational measures be assessed for transfers to the US. UK GDPR imposes equivalent restrictions. The Irish Data Protection Commission has enforcement jurisdiction over many of NVIDIA's EU data transfers given NVIDIA's EU establishment. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The policy asserts reliance on Standard Contractual Clauses or other approved mechanisms without specifying which mechanism applies to which transfer or which NVIDIA entity acts as data exporter. Compliance exposure arises if transfer impact assessments required post-Schrems II have not been conducted or documented, or if NVIDIA's US entities have not self-certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework where applicable. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA users have the highest regulatory exposure given GDPR Chapter V requirements and active DPA enforcement on SCCs. UK users are subject to equivalent requirements under UK GDPR and the UK International Data Transfer regime. Swiss users are subject to the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection transfer requirements. Brazilian users under LGPD face similar restrictions. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers in the EU/EEA should request copies of the Standard Contractual Clauses or Data Privacy Framework certification applicable to their data processing relationship with NVIDIA. Data processing agreements should specify the transfer mechanism and require NVIDIA to notify customers of any changes affecting the legal basis for transfer. Procurement teams should verify NVIDIA's EU-US Data Privacy Framework self-certification status if applicable. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should request documentation of NVIDIA's transfer impact assessments for SCCs covering US transfers; verify current EU-US Data Privacy Framework self-certification if relied upon; ensure that DPAs with NVIDIA include updated SCCs using the 2021 European Commission standard contractual clauses; and assess whether supplementary technical measures such as encryption in transit and at rest are contractually required.
