Table of Contents
Dayforce’s Global and Service Provider Privacy Statements are now combined into a single Dayforce Privacy Statement. This new combined statement was last updated on September 8, 2025, and replaces both the Global Privacy Statement and Service Provider Statement.
At Dayforce, we believe that making work life better starts with trust. As a global people platform, Dayforce helps organizations manage their workforce through innovative solutions that bring together HR, payroll, benefits, and talent management in one seamless experience. We recognize that you expect Dayforce to protect the personal information of everyone we engage with. Whether you're visiting our website, using our mobile app, or partnering with us as a client or supplier, we’re committed to handling your personal information with care, transparency, and respect.
Some quick details:
- “Dayforce” includes Dayforce, Inc., and its affiliates and Subsidiaries.
- “Personal Information” as used in this Privacy Statement has the same meaning as “personal data” or similar terms under applicable laws.
- Many data protection laws distinguish between “Controllers” – those who decide why and how to process (collect, use, transfer and disclose) Personal Information - and “Processors” or “Service Providers” – who only process information on behalf of a Controller and at their instruction. Dayforce has adopted these terms for the purpose of this Privacy Statement.
Scope
Dayforce operates as a software provider for employers. In most cases, Dayforce only collects, uses and discloses Personal Information on behalf of its employer customers. In those cases, Dayforce is considered a “Service Provider”. If you are an Individual whose potential, current or past employer uses Dayforce products and services, such as the Dayforce HCM or Powerpay software applications, to help manage their workforce, you should review that employer’s own privacy statement to understand that employer’s privacy practices.
For information on how we process Personal Information when we’re considered a Service Provider, please scroll down or jump to the “Dayforce as a Service Provider” Section of this Privacy Statement.
In other situations, Dayforce decides how certain Personal Information is collected, used and disclosed, and so Dayforce is considered a “Controller,” for example – when you:
- visit our websites and physical sites,
- use our Dayforce HCM web or mobile application (e.g., you log in to your employer-provided Dayforce application),
- interact with Dayforce as a client, supplier and/or business partner with whom we have or contemplate a business relationship).
This Statement does not apply to:
- prospective employees of Dayforce (please see Dayforce’s Job Applicant Privacy Statement for related details).
- Personal Information collected or used by us as part of Dayforce Wallet (please see the Dayforce Wallet Privacy Statement) for more details.
- Personal Information collected or used in connection with Dayforce Flex Work, Ideal or Jitjatjo.
