Oracle understands how our customers collecting and handling personal data in the EU –
both offline and online – need to manage and document their data handling practices and
uses cases more carefully than ever before now that the General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR) is in effect. Over the past two years, we have been focused on how
we can help you respond to those needs. We are confident that our work will simplify your
compliance efforts, whether you are currently using Oracle products and services or are
considering using them in the future.
In preparation for GDPR, we began by analyzing how it would impact Oracle and then re-
casting our global privacy compliance program accordingly. At a high level, we looked at
our company from three different perspectives:
Under the guidance of Oracle’s Global Data Protection Officer and the Oracle Privacy
Office, the GDPR project owners for services reviewed, documented and updated as
necessary:
Processing activities
Categories of personal data, data subject and data recipients
Data flows and data mapping
Data retention periods
Legal bases for processing and transfers
Security controls, processes and practices
Customer-facing privacy & security policies and contract terms
Subprocessor management, including contract terms
For Oracle on-premises products as well as Cloud services, we reviewed, documented and
in some cases updated the privacy and security features and functionality. This included
privacy features that can be used for data minimization, notice and consent,
erasure/deletion, data portability and end-user access. It also covered security features
such as access controls, authentication, separation of duties, auditing, encryption,
anonymization, masking and logging.
We included these activities as part of our internal global data protection compliance
review, as well as GDPR transparency and education efforts such as revising and updating
our privacy and security policies and training. We have also enhanced and empowered
our privacy governance structure to drive these requirements throughout the company and
help keep this work up to date and implemented as part of each employee’s job function.
Throughout this time, we have also been keeping a close eye on relevant developments
around GDPR, such as the EU Member State implementation process and guidance
issued by privacy regulators.
We are committed to helping you address GDPR requirements that are relevant to your
use of our products and service offerings. To that end, we have enabled you to stay
informed on our privacy & security product and service functionalities, documentation,
policies and contract terms:
We also invite you to review our current customer-facing privacy and security policies,
available online through www.oracle.com/contracts and www.oracle.com/privacy. These
policies constitute a robust privacy and security framework that speaks to a considerable
portion of the GDPR’s requirements.

Specific privacy and security terms may apply to selected Cloud services, such as Netsuite, Bronto or Moat Analytics.
(Document ID 111.1), which provides three separate repositories of information.
First, it contains subprocessor lists for Oracle services, and enables you to sign
up your DPO, CSO or other designed contact to receive updates on changes to
these lists.
Second, it contains privacy and security feature guidance for product families of
on-premises licenses as well as Cloud and other services relevant to key tenets of
GDPR, including encryption, data portability and data retention.
Third, it contains a record of processing template with links to applicable security
policies, descriptions of processing activities, and contact details of our Global
DPO, designed to assist you with your Article 30 documentation requirements.
Oracle maintains a GDPR landing page for Oracle Applications as well as one for Oracle
Security Solutions where you can learn in greater detail how specific Oracle products and
services can be used to help meet your GDPR compliance needs. These landing pages
also keep you updated on our GDPR events and webcasts, white papers, newsletters and
analyst reports.
GDPR Partnership
As a global enterprise who has gone through the GDPR compliance process itself, Oracle
fully appreciates what is involved, what is required, and what the stakes are. We are here
to help, and hope that this information and our GDPR materials give you a sense of the
work we have been doing to help our customers meet their GDPR challenges.
We look forward to participating in that partnership, and invite you to consult your Oracle
sales representative if you have further questions about Oracle product and service
options that may help address your GDPR compliance needs.
