Privacy Statement

Last Updated: January 2025

Introduction

Leidos, Inc.’s (“Leidos,” “we” or “us”) Privacy Statement (“Statement”) provides you with information about how Leidos collects, uses, and discloses your Personal Information, and the rights you may have with respect to your Personal Information. 

Scope

This Statement generally applies to leidos.com and any Leidos-owned websites or mobile applications that link to this Statement (collectively, our “Sites and Apps”). 

Leidos is a business-to-business (B2B) and business-to government (B2G) products and services provider. Accordingly, while we may collect, use, and disclose customer data, which may include Personal Information (collectively, “Customer Data”), our normal business practice is to do so only at the direction of our customers and solely for the purpose(s) agreed to in the applicable customer contract. We collect, use, and disclose such Customer Data responsibly and in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and customer contract obligations.

Residents of jurisdictions with comprehensive data protection/privacy laws that provide for data subject rights, such as the UK, European Economic Area (EEA) or California, may have additional rights with respect to the processing of their Personal Information. Information about these rights and how to exercise them is provided in the Additional Rights under Local Laws section. In jurisdictions where these rights apply, you may exercise them, to the extent permitted by applicable data protection/privacy laws, with respect to any personal information that Leidos processes for our own purposes. 

In addition, we maintain a separate Leidos Australia Privacy Policy for individuals in Australia.

Whether this Statement applies to your Personal Information also depends on your relationship with Leidos and how your Personal Information was collected. For example, if you are a Leidos employee, Leidos’ Global Employee Privacy Notice applies to any employment-related information about you. And if you are a job applicant, Leidos’ Recruitment Privacy Notice applies to any Personal Information we collect in connection with recruiting and hiring new employees. 

Some Leidos Sites and Apps may also have a supplemental privacy statement, policy, or notice.

If there is a conflict between this Statement and the terms of any written agreement between a Leidos customer and Leidos, the terms of such written agreement will control.

  Current Privacy Statement Changes since PRIOR Privacy Statement

Interest-Based Advertising

We may engage third-party advertising service providers to help us target our advertisements to individuals who may be interested in our products and services or who may be interested in employment with Leidos. These service providers may also help us deliver advertisements to you, provide us with information about whether you engaged with our advertisements, and provide us with other analytics relating to the performance of our online advertisements.

How long we retain it depends on a number of factors, including the purpose for which it was obtained and/or our legal or regulatory obligations. For example, we may store your Personal Information for longer periods of time where we are required to do so to meet legal, regulatory, tax, or accounting requirements. We may also store it for longer periods of time to have an accurate record of your interactions with us in the event of any complaints or challenges, or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation.
