Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal data described above will depend on the personal data concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.
To the extent that we process personal data as data controller, we normally do so on the basis of our legitimate business interest to do so (taking into account the fundamental privacy rights of any relevant individuals), and / or in performance of a contract, and / or on the basis of compliance with a legal obligation, and / or on the basis of consent, depending on the specific activity involved.
We may disclose personal data about you to the following categories of recipients:
We may also disclose aggregated or de‑identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you. ServiceNow processes, maintains and uses this information only in a de‑identified fashion and will not attempt to re‑identify such information, except as permitted by law.

For international transfers of personal data from the European Economic Area ("EEA"), the UK or Switzerland, we implement such measures as are necessary to ensure we provide appropriate safeguards for the transferred data, including through the use of Standard Contractual Clauses or another lawful transfer data transfer mechanism.
ServiceNow maintains appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect the personal data of Data Subjects from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure and access. ServiceNow personnel and service providers with access to personal data of Data Subjects are required to keep such information confidential and secure.
We will retain your personal data if we have a business need to do so or for as long as is needed to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Statement, unless a longer retention period is required by law (for example, to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal data, we will either delete or anonymise it or if this is not possible (for example, because your personal data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
In accordance with applicable laws, we provide you with certain choices regarding the information you provide to us. Depending on where you reside, you may have the following rights:
Please note that in order to fulfil your request, we may need you to provide certain information to verify your identity.
