At Clarivate, data is our business. We take it seriously and believe in trust and transparency – especially when it comes to protecting personal data. Our ongoing commitment to promoting responsible data use will help drive a more sustainable society. We’ve created a robust and effective data protection program with policies and procedures that reflect internationally accepted principles of transparency, accountability and individual rights.

To be effective, data protection policies must be managed as an evolving program that is continually reviewed, advanced and tested to make sure our actions reflect our promises. In addition to investing in data protection technology, we’ve built a team of full-time, dedicated privacy professionals led by our Chief Privacy Officer. They are diligent guardians of our privacy policies, helping us adhere to our guiding principles and stay ahead of evolving privacy and data protection laws.

Our guiding principles

  • Transparency and choice: Help individuals understand how their personal data is used, what their rights are and how they’re empowered to control their data
  • Accountability: Remain accountable for our practices by reporting how we’re doing on meeting our data privacy obligations and responsibilities
  • Security: Promote the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the personal data we process through our ongoing commitment to security and privacy
