Amphenol to provide additional information about how Amphenol processes the
personal data of individuals resident within the European Union. The GDPR governs the use of “personal data”,
which is any information that identifies or from which an individual could be
identified, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an
identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more
factors specific to an individual’s identity.
Amphenol processes personal data for a number of reasons:
· To provide
goods and/or services pursuant to an agreement;
·
Where required by the law of the European
Union or its member states; and
·
Where Amphenol has legitimate business
interest in doing so.
The
GDPR provides EU residents with certain rights in relation to the processing of
their personal data, including the right to request access, to have personal
data rectified or erased, to object to its processing or to have access to
personal data restricted. Amphenol respects individuals’ rights under the GDPR,
and we may ask you for additional information to confirm your identity and for
security purposes, before providing individuals with access to their personal
data. There may also be circumstances where Amphenol is permitted by law to
deny access. We have implemented appropriate safeguards, to protect your
personal data when it is transferred, including the execution of data transfer
agreements with recipients of the information.
