OUR APPROACH TO PRIVACY
We recognize the importance of our responsibility to respect and protect personal information.
Originally launched in 2014, the RELX Privacy Principles inform our approach and commitment to privacy.
The RELX Privacy Principles are applicable to all employees and contractors handling personal information for us, reviewed annually by the RELX privacy team and the business area data protection officers, and supplemented by more detailed privacy policies, procedures and guidelines.
