Use of Cookies and Other Technologies

Lenovo websites use cookies and similar technologies to ensure proper functionality, analyze user behavior, and deliver personalized content. Cookies may store information such as language preferences or session identifiers to improve your browsing experience.

Data Security and Protection

Lenovo is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use a variety of administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect data against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Access to personal data is restricted to authorized employees, contractors, and partners who need it to perform their job functions and who are bound by strict confidentiality obligations.

Despite Lenovo’s efforts, no security system is completely impenetrable. Therefore, while Lenovo strives to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
