1. Our Commitment to Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. This website, www.bmc.com (the "Site"), is owned and operated by BMC Software, Inc. ("BMC"). This BMC Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") describes how BMC and its affiliates collect, use and disclose personally identifiable information or personal data ("Personal Information") that we may obtain about you ("You") through the Site. When You provide Personal Information to us via our Site, we protect it according to this Privacy Policy. By using any BMC Site, You acknowledge that You have reviewed, understood and agree to, the terms of this Privacy Policy. If You do not agree to this Privacy Policy, do not use this Site.

For California residents, additional disclosures required by California law may be found in our California Privacy Notice.

BMC adheres to its EU and UK Controller and Processor Binding Corporate Rules Policies (“BCR Policies”) approved by European and United Kingdom data protection authorities with respect to compliance with European and United Kingdom data protection laws and specifically to transfers of Personal Information of employees, customers, resellers, suppliers, service providers and other third parties wherever it is collected and used in conjunction with BMC business activities and the administration of employment between members of the BMC Group or to external service providers. Information about BMC's BCR Policies can be found in the section set out below: "BCR Framework".

BMC operates in the business-to-business (B2B) software industry. Unlike many companies and websites, we do not focus on consumer users or the collection of consumer data. To the extent we collect information online, our purpose is to better serve our business customers. This Privacy Policy does not apply where BMC processes Personal Data as a processor on behalf of its customers, which may include:

  • the delivery of BMC products or services You subscribed to,
  • the delivery of operation and business systems support, or
  • the provision of customer support activities.

2. BCR Framework

BMC has established the BCR Policies when acting as a Data Controller and/or a Data Processor which have been reviewed and approved by European and United Kingdom data protection authorities. The BCR Policies are incorporated into a BMC corporate wide policy, requiring all BMC entities, employees and third-party providers to comply with and respect the BCR Policies governing the collection, use, access, storage and transfer of Personal Information among BMC entities and third parties.

BMC received approval from European data protection authorities for its EU Binding Corporate Rules in 2015 and from the Information Commissioner's Office for its UK Binding Corporate Rules in 2024.
