AV and AI technologies require access to large volumes of high-quality data to learn how to perceive, classify, and navigate among people, objects, and scenes. We collect public images and other data through sensors on NVIDIA or partner-identified vehicles and in clearly disclosed public spaces–as well as datasets collected by others–to improve the safety and reliability of our AV and AI models. This data is never associated with any other product or service. See More › See Less ›
If you’ve consented to receive marketing communications or recommendations, we share hashed details about your identity with third-party ad providers such as Google to serve personalized ads to you and others. These hashed details may include your name, email, phone number, job title, organizational business affiliations, zip code, country, and social media handles.
Your information is shared in hashed form only, which means that your details are irreversibly converted to a fixed-size string of characters such as “0890f456684a70f1a9f1dbcee40c1fe847b76f338581a9a1d9202c76b1c175f4” (which is the SHA-256 hash of “NVIDIA”). Sharing information in hashed form means that third-party ad providers can only identify you if they already have the information we have shared and have hashed it themselves to match the hashed version we are sharing. Sharing information in hashed form is a way of identifying information that both parties have without sharing the information itself.
You can opt out of data sharing for personalized advertising at any time by visiting our Privacy Center.
If you visit any of our NVIDIA websites, we or our third-party partners collect information using cookies, web beacons, or log file information. Please see our Cookies Policy for more details.
We take special care to protect the privacy of children, and our products and services are not targeted for use by children under the age of 13.
We don’t collect data from children under the age of 13. We also don’t collect data if the collection would require parental consent in the relevant jurisdiction.
We employ reasonable technological safeguards to comply with local laws, and to prevent underage children from accessing areas of our services where personal information may be collected. For example, underage children are not allowed to participate in our user-to-user forums, subscribe to an email newsletter, or enter any of our sweepstakes or contests.
Please contact us if you become aware that your child has provided us with personal data without your consent.
NVIDIA is located in California, and in most cases we need to securely transfer and store your information in the United States. Transfers of personal data to the United States, and to or from NVIDIA, are made subject to the Standard Contractual Clauses which have been pre-approved by the European Commission and ensure appropriate data protection safeguards. NVIDIA implemented the Standard Contractual Clauses as an additional data protection safeguard because the United States lost the benefit of a European Commission adequacy decision in July of 2020. In addition, NVIDIA continues to be a member of the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield frameworks, and we are subject to enforcement by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. This means we adhere to the Privacy Shield Principles of notice, choice, and accountability for onward transfer, security, data integrity, purpose limitation, access, recourse, enforcement, and liability. We are the data controller, and we remain responsible for any of your personal information that is shared with third parties for processing on our behalf.
NVIDIA has committed to cooperating with the panel established by the EU data protection authorities (DPAs) and the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) with regard to unresolved Privacy Shield complaints concerning data transferred from the EU and Switzerland. Under certain conditions, you may invoke binding arbitration to resolve any complaint. We are subject to U.S. law, and we may be required to share data with U.S. law enforcement agencies. To learn more about Privacy Shield, please visit the U.S. Department of Commerce Privacy Shield website: https://www.privacyshield.gov. For more information regarding our Privacy Shield certification, please see: https://www.privacyshield.gov/list.
We retain your personal data for as long as our engagement with you continues (e.g., emails, website visits, logins, or event attendance). We erase customer and enterprise personal data if there has been no engagement with you for more than five years.
We retain data collected from public spaces for as long as it continues to support our AV and AI projects. If you are a member of the public and wish to exercise any of your privacy rights, please contact us directly at privacy@nvidia.com.
You may also exercise your right to erasure at any time. If you have an NVIDIA account or have signed up for our content with your email address, you may visit privacy.nvidia.com to exercise your privacy rights. Otherwise contact us directly at privacy@nvidia.com.
If you have any questions, or if you’re an Authorized Agent seeking to make a request on behalf of a consumer under California’s Consumer Privacy Act, please contact our Data Privacy Team.
