This information helps HP design future products to meet our customers' printing needs.

The data collected from the print cartridge and imaging drum memory chip does not contain information that can be used to identify a customer or user of the print cartridge and imaging drum or their product.

HP collects a sampling of the memory chips from print cartridges and imaging drums returned to HP's free return and recycling program (HP Planet Partners: www.hp.com/recycle).

HP partners who assist in recycling this print cartridge and imaging drum might have access to this data, as well.

Any third party possessing the print cartridge and imaging drum might have access to the anonymous information on the memory chip. If you prefer to not allow access to this information, you can render the chip inoperable. However, after you render the memory chip inoperable, the memory chip cannot be used in an HP product.
