Cloudflare’s network and business are all ultimately built on customer trust. We seek to continually earn and maintain that trust by building and deploying products that help improve the security of our system, encrypt data at rest or in transit, and allow our customers to determine how traffic is inspected across different locations around the world.

But not all challenges can be solved with engineering. For this reason, we also have policies and procedures that guide how we manage customer and end-user data on our systems — and how we address government and other legal requests for data.

This paper outlines these policies and provides links to more detailed information about various facets of our approach to data privacy and compliance.

Specifically, it covers:

• Our view on the changing data privacy landscape
• Our policies around data privacy and data requests
