When you participate in various social media forums, like Facebook, Twitter, Yammer, Pinterest, Instagram, etc., you should be familiar with and understand the tools provided by those sites that allow you to make choices about how you share the personal data in your social media profile(s).
Lumileds is bound by the privacy practices or policies of these third parties, as well as Social Media House rules and this Statement, so we encourage you to read the applicable privacy notices, terms of use and related information about how your personal data is used in these social media environments.
Also, depending on the choices you have made regarding your settings on various social media sites (and/or in combination with your settings on the webpages), certain personal data may be shared with Lumileds about your online activities and social media profiles, e.g. interests, marital status, gender, user name, photos, comments and content you have posted/shared, etc.
During your online journey across our Websites, you may encounter links to other websites for your convenience and information. These websites may operate independently from Lumileds, and may have their own privacy notices, statements or policies. We strongly suggest that you review them to understand how your personal data may be processed in connection with those sites, as we are not responsible for the content of non-Lumileds-owned or managed sites, or the use or privacy practices of those sites.
We recognize and take seriously our responsibility to protect personal data you entrust to Lumileds from loss, misuse or unauthorized access. Lumileds uses a variety of security technologies and organizational procedures to protect your personal data. For example, we implement access controls, use firewalls and secure servers, and we encrypt certain types of data. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of your account has been compromised), please notify us immediately in accordance with the “How to Contact Us” section below.
The Services are not directed to minors under the age of sixteen (16), and we request that they not provide personal data through the Services.
The Services are controlled and operated by us from the Netherlands and are not intended to subject us to the laws or jurisdiction of any state, country or territory other than that of the Netherlands. Your personal data may be stored and processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage service providers, and by using the Services you understand that your personal data will be transferred to countries outside of your country of residence that may have data protection rules that are different from those of your country. In certain circumstances, courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies or security authorities in those other countries may be entitled to access your personal data.
In case of disclosure to third parties who assist us in organizing the Services we will ensure that, where relevant, contractual safeguards are implemented to ensure the protection of your personal data when disclosing your personal data to a third party. This may include transferring personal data to other countries (including countries other than where you are based that have a different data protection regime than is found in your country), including countries outside the European Economic Area („EEA”).
If you are located in the EEA, some of the non-EEA countries are recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection according to EEA standards (the full list of these countries is available here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/adequacy-protection-personal-data-non-eu-countries_en. For transfers from the EEA to countries not considered adequate by the European Commission, we have put in place adequate measures, such as the Lumileds Privacy Code for Employee Information (see below) with regard to transfers within the Lumileds group (binding corporate rules as described in article 47 GDPR) or standard contractual clauses for transfers outside the Lumileds group (as described in article 46 (2) (c) and (d) GDPR). You may obtain a copy of our Binding Corporate Rules and/or these standard contractual clauses by contacting [email protected].
We retain your personal data for as long as needed or permitted in light of the purposes outlined in this Statement and consistent with applicable law. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:
We ask that you not send us or disclose any sensitive personal data (e.g., social security numbers, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, biometrics or genetic characteristics, criminal background or trade union membership) on or through the Services or otherwise to us.
The Services that Lumileds provides are always evolving and may change from time to time without prior notice to you. For this reason, we reserve the right to change or add to this Statement accordingly.
We will post a prominent notice on our Websites to notify you of any significant changes to this Statement, and will indicate at the top of the notice when it was most recently updated. We encourage you to check back often to review the latest version.
The new Statement will be effective upon posting. If you do not agree to the revised notice, you should alter your preferences, or consider stopping using our Websites. By continuing to access or make use of our Services after the changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Statement.
