• Providing, improving, developing, and personalizing your experience with our products and services: We may use personal information to help us provide, improve, develop, and personalize your experience with our products and services. This includes using personal information for purposes such as data analysis, research, and audits. We may perform such processing based on your consent or our legitimate interest in offering you products and services and for business continuity. If you enter a sweepstakes, contest, or other promotion, we may use the personal information you provide to administer those programs.

• Communicating with you: We may use personal information to respond to your inquiries and communicate with you about important notices, including notices related to your account, products, services, transactions, or changes to our policies and terms. Such processing is undertaken because it is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or is based on our legitimate interest in interacting with you to provide you with our products and services. We may also use personal information to communicate with you about your employment requests. Our privacy notices to applicants and employees provide additional information concerning the personal information we collect and how we use personal information in connection with your employment requests.

Please read our Cookie Statement for more information on how we use web tracking technologies for personalized advertisements and the choices you have. We may also use audience matching to reach people (or people similar to people) who used our products and services or are identified in one or more of our databases. This is done by us providing a list of hashed email addresses to an ad partner or incorporating a pixel from an ad partner into our own products and services, and the ad partner matching common factors between our data and their data.
• Promoting safety and security: We may use personal information to help verify accounts and user activity, as well as to promote safety and security, such as by monitoring fraud and investigating suspicious or potentially illegal activity or violations of our terms or policies.

We make certain personal information available to the strategic partners and other recipients described below for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement.

Service Providers and Other Companies

We may share personal information with service providers and other companies that provide services on our behalf, such as website hosting; email services; marketing; advertising; sponsoring of sweepstakes, contests, and other promotions; auditing; payment processing; fulfilling customer orders; data analytics; providing customer support; conducting customer research and satisfaction surveys; cloud storage services; and other services that assist in providing or selling our products and services. We also may share your personal information with advertisers, data analytics providers, and social media networks, which assist us with making product recommendations, marketing messaging, and sending you relevant content. These companies are obligated to protect your information and may be located wherever we operate.

Corporate Affiliates and Corporate Business Transactions

We may share personal information with all Western Digital Corporation-affiliated companies. In the event of a merger, reorganization, acquisition, joint venture, assignment, spin-off, transfer, or sale or disposition of all or any portion of our business, including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings, we may transfer any and all personal information to the relevant third party.

Legal Compliance and Security

It may be necessary—by law or as a result of legal process, litigation, or requests from public or governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence—for us to disclose personal information. We may also disclose personal information if we determine that for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate.  We may also disclose personal information if we determine in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to  protect our rights and pursue available remedies, enforce our terms and conditions, investigate fraud, or protect our operations or users.

We take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is accurate, complete, and up-to-date. Depending on where you live, you may have the rights described below.

You may fill out our webform to exercise your applicable rights. We will respond to your request in the timeframe required by applicable law (and in general within 30 days).  

As required by law, and to protect the privacy and security of your personal information, we may request information from you to enable us to confirm your identity and right to access such information, as well as to search for and provide you with the personal information we maintain. There are instances where applicable laws or regulatory requirements allow or require us to deny a request.

If you are a resident of California or another state or jurisdiction that provides this right, to opt-out of the sale or the sharing of your personal information by us to third parties for the uses of your data described above, including cross-context behavioral advertising:

• submit a request through the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information form available here, specifying you wish to opt-out of sales (such as sharing your information with our partners for audience matching purposes via means other than cookies or web tracking technologies referenced in (2) below); and 
• click Cookie Preferences in the footer below and toggle the options to “No” for both “Performance and Functionality” and “Advertising” Cookie options, and click “Submit Preferences”. This will deactivate performance, functionality, and advertising cookies and web tracking technologies on our site, including those used for audience matching purposes and personalized advertisements. Deactivating these cookies and web tracking technologies may only apply to the specific browser from which you click the link, and your preferences may reset if you change your settings.

Authorized Agent: You may authorize an agent to submit a request on your behalf, so long as you provide the authorized agent written permission signed by you to make a request on your behalf, and your authorized agent additionally is able to verify their identity with us.  If you are a resident of California, and would like to designate an agent for purposes of making a request, your agent must register as such with the California Secretary of State and submit a copy of this registration along with your verified consumer request. Please have your authorized agent follow the instructions above to make a request, and additionally mail your written declaration authorizing the agent to act on your behalf, certified by a notary public, to: Legal Department, 5601 Great Oaks Parkway, San Jose, California 95119 USA. If your authorized agent has power of attorney, it may not be necessary to perform these steps.

You may also contact us via phone at 888-914-9661 (PIN: 228663) to exercise your applicable rights, and you may lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority regarding the processing of your personal information. You also may object to, or restrict, the further processing of your personal information, and appeal any decisions involving the exercise of your applicable rights. We will not discriminate against you for the exercise of your applicable rights.

If you request to delete your data, this would remove your ability to access any Western Digital accounts. We have no obligation to retain your information, and we may delete any or all of your information without liability. We may retain, however, information related to you if we believe it may be necessary to prevent fraud or future abuse, if required by law, or for legitimate purposes, where applicable, such as analysis of non personal information, account recovery, maintaining the functionality or security of our systems, auditing our records, or  enforcing our rights and obligations under our agreements.

Our products and services, including our websites and digital media properties, may contain links to or the ability for you to access third-party websites, products, and services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices employed by those third parties, nor are we responsible for the information or content their products and services contain. This Privacy Statement applies solely to information collected by us. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third parties before proceeding to use their websites, products, or services.

It is important that you take precautions to protect against unauthorized access to your Western Digital products, account credentials, and computers or other devices. If you feel that the security of your account or personal information has been compromised, please immediately Contact Us. Please be aware that, despite our efforts to maintain reasonable and appropriate physical, electronic, and procedural security measures, no security system is impenetrable. In the event of a security breach, we will promptly notify you and the proper authorities if required by law.

We will store your personal information in accordance with applicable data protection law, retain such information in accordance with our data retention policy for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Statement, and delete such information in accordance with our deletion policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, Sensitive Information shall be used for the specific transaction in which it was intended and only retained by us for the period of time needed to complete the transaction or as otherwise permitted by the user.

We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose information from children under the age of 16. If we learn that we have  collected the personal information of a child under the age of 16—or the equivalent minimum age depending on the  jurisdiction, such as 13 in the United States or 14 in the People’s Republic of China (which, for the purposes of this Privacy  Statement, excludes the Hong Kong SAR, Macao SAR and the Taiwan region)—we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible. Please immediately Contact Us if you become aware that a child under the age of 16 has provided us with personal information.

If you are a California resident under the age of 18, and you are a registered user of our products or services, California law permits you to request and obtain removal of content or information you have publicly posted. To make such a  request, please Contact Us with specific information about where the content or information is posted and attesting that you posted it. We will then make reasonable, good faith efforts to remove the post from prospective public view, or anonymize it so you cannot be individually identified, to the extent required by applicable law. Please be aware that such a request does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information you have posted and that there may be circumstances in which the law does not require or allow removal even if requested.

When we share your personal information with our partners, Western Digital-affiliated companies, and service providers, your personal information may be transferred to and/or made accessible from countries out of the European Economic Area or the People’s Republic of China. In such circumstances, we will enter into model contractual clauses as adopted by the European Commission or the Cyberspace Administration of China, as applicable, or rely on alternative legal bases, and implement mandatory measures to act in accordance with applicable laws (for example, creating a process to disclose additional required information to you when transferring your personal information out of the People’s Republic of China). For some of our services, your personal information may be transferred to and/or stored and processed on servers located in the United States, or in other locations outside of the country where you reside for the  purpose of providing the services to you.

We may periodically change this Privacy Statement to keep pace with new technologies, industry practices, and regulatory requirements, among other reasons. We expect most such changes to be minor. Any non-material changes will take effect immediately upon posting of an updated Privacy Statement, and we will indicate the Last Modified date at the top of this document. There may, however, be cases where changes to this Privacy Statement may be more significant. In such cases, we will provide you with a prominent notice of such changes on our website or will directly send you a notification. 

Your continued use of our products and services after the effective date of the Privacy Statement means that you accept the revised Privacy Statement. If you do not agree to the revised Privacy Statement, please refrain from using our products and services and Contact Us to close any account you may have created.

Personal information is information that can be used to directly or indirectly identify you. Personal information also includes information that is linked to information that can be used to directly or indirectly identify you. Personal information does not include information that has been irreversibly anonymized or aggregated so that it can no longer enable us, whether in combination with other information or otherwise, to identify you.

For some of our services, your personal information may be transferred to and/or stored and processed on servers located in the United States, or in other locations outside of the country where you reside for the  purpose of providing the services to you.

We may periodically change this Privacy Statement to keep pace with new technologies, industry practices, and regulatory requirements, among other reasons. We expect most such changes to be minor. Any non-material changes will take effect immediately upon posting of an updated Privacy Statement, and we will indicate the Last Modified date at the top of this document. There may, however, be cases where changes to this Privacy Statement may be more significant. In such cases, we will provide you with a prominent notice of such changes on our website or will directly send you a notification. 

Your continued use of our products and services after the effective date of the Privacy Statement means that you accept the revised Privacy Statement.

Personal information is information that can be used to directly or indirectly identify you. Personal information also includes information that is linked to information that can be used to directly or indirectly identify you. Personal information does not include information that has been irreversibly anonymized or aggregated so that it can no longer enable us, whether in combination with other information or otherwise, to identify you.

Legal Compliance and Security

It may be necessary—by law or as a result of legal process, litigation, or requests from public or governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence—for us to disclose personal information. We may also disclose personal information if we determine that for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate.  We may also disclose personal information if we determine in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to  protect our rights and pursue available remedies, enforce our terms and conditions, investigate fraud, or protect our operations or users.

We take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is accurate, complete, and up-to-date. Depending on where you live, you may have the rights described below.

As required by law, and to protect the privacy and security of your personal information, we may request information from you to enable us to confirm your identity and right to access such information, as well as to search for and provide you with the personal information we maintain. There are instances where applicable laws or regulatory requirements allow or require us to deny a request.

If you are a resident of California or another state or jurisdiction that provides this right, to opt-out of the sale or the sharing of your personal information by us to third parties for the uses of your data described above, including cross-context behavioral advertising:

• submit a request through the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information form available here, specifying you wish to opt-out of sales (such as sharing your information with our partners for audience matching purposes via means other than cookies or web tracking technologies referenced in (2) below); and 
• click Cookie Preferences in the footer below and toggle the options to “No” for both “Performance and Functionality” and “Advertising” Cookie options, and click “Submit Preferences”.

Deactivating these cookies and web tracking technologies may only apply to the specific browser from which you click the link, and your preferences may reset if you change your settings.

Authorized Agent: You may authorize an agent to submit a request on your behalf, so long as you provide the authorized agent written permission signed by you to make a request on your behalf, and your authorized agent additionally is able to verify their identity with us.  If you are a resident of California, and would like to designate an agent for purposes of making a request, your agent must register as such with the California Secretary of State and submit a copy of this registration along with your verified consumer request. Please have your authorized agent follow the instructions above to make a request, and additionally mail your written declaration authorizing the agent to act on your behalf, certified by a notary public, to: Legal Department, 5601 Great Oaks Parkway, San Jose, California 95119 USA. If your authorized agent has power of attorney, it may not be necessary to perform these steps.

You may also contact us via phone at 888-914-9661 (PIN: 228663) to exercise your applicable rights, and you may lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority regarding the processing of your personal information. You also may object to, or restrict, the further processing of your personal information, and appeal any decisions involving the exercise of your applicable rights. We will not discriminate against you for the exercise of your applicable rights.

If you request to delete your data, this would remove your ability to access any Western Digital accounts. We have no obligation to retain your information, and we may delete any or all of your information without liability. We may retain, however, information related to you if we believe it may be necessary to prevent fraud or future abuse, if required by law, or for legitimate purposes, where applicable, such as analysis of non personal information, account recovery, maintaining the functionality or security of our systems, auditing our records, or  enforcing our rights and obligations under our agreements.

Our products and services, including our websites and digital media properties, may contain links to or the ability for you to access third-party websites, products, and services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices employed by those third parties, nor are we responsible for the information or content their products and services contain. This Privacy Statement applies solely to information collected by us. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third parties before proceeding to use their websites, products, or services.

It is important that you take precautions to protect against unauthorized access to your Western Digital products, account credentials, and computers or other devices. If you feel that the security of your account or personal information has been compromised, please immediately Contact Us. Please be aware that, despite our efforts to maintain reasonable and appropriate physical, electronic, and procedural security measures, no security system is impenetrable. In the event of a security breach, we will promptly notify you and the proper authorities if required by law.

We will store your personal information in accordance with applicable data protection law, retain such information in accordance with our data retention policy for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Statement, and delete such information in accordance with our deletion policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, Sensitive Information shall be used for the specific transaction in which it was intended and only retained by us for the period of time needed to complete the transaction or as otherwise permitted by the user.

We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose information from children under the age of 16. If we learn that we have  collected the personal information of a child under the age of 16—or the equivalent minimum age depending on the  jurisdiction, such as 13 in the United States or 14 in the People’s Republic of China (which, for the purposes of this Privacy  Statement, excludes the Hong Kong SAR, Macao SAR and the Taiwan region)—we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible. Please immediately Contact Us if you become aware that a child under the age of 16 has provided us with personal information.

If you are a California resident under the age of 18, and you are a registered user of our products or services, California law permits you to request and obtain removal of content or information you have publicly posted. To make such a  request, please Contact Us with specific information about where the content or information is posted and attesting that you posted it. We will then make reasonable, good faith efforts to remove the post from prospective public view, or anonymize it so you cannot be individually identified, to the extent required by applicable law. Please be aware that such a request does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information you have posted and that there may be circumstances in which the law does not require or allow removal even if requested.

When we share your personal information with our partners, Western Digital-affiliated companies, and service providers, your personal information may be transferred to and/or made accessible from countries out of the European Economic Area or the People’s Republic of China. In such circumstances, we will enter into model contractual clauses as adopted by the European Commission or the Cyberspace Administration of China, as applicable, or rely on alternative legal bases, and implement mandatory measures to act in accordance with applicable laws (for example, creating a process to disclose additional required information to you when transferring your personal information out of the People’s Republic of China). For some of our services, your personal information may be transferred to and/or stored and processed on servers located in the United States, or in other locations outside of the country where you reside for the  purpose of providing the services to you.

We may periodically change this Privacy Statement to keep pace with new technologies, industry practices, and regulatory requirements, among other reasons. We expect most such changes to be minor. Any non-material changes will take effect immediately upon posting of an updated Privacy Statement, and we will indicate the Last Modified date at the top of this document. There may, however, be cases where changes to this Privacy Statement may be more significant. In such cases, we will provide you with a prominent notice of such changes on our website or will directly send you a notification.

If we learn that we have  collected the personal information of a child under the age of 16—or the equivalent minimum age depending on the  jurisdiction, such as 13 in the United States or 14 in the People’s Republic of China (which, for the purposes of this Privacy  Statement, excludes the Hong Kong SAR, Macao SAR and the Taiwan region)—we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible. Please immediately Contact Us if you become aware that a child under the age of 16 has provided us with personal information.

If you are a California resident under the age of 18, and you are a registered user of our products or services, California law permits you to request and obtain removal of content or information you have publicly posted. To make such a  request, please Contact Us with specific information about where the content or information is posted and attesting that you posted it. We will then make reasonable, good faith efforts to remove the post from prospective public view, or anonymize it so you cannot be individually identified, to the extent required by applicable law. Please be aware that such a request does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information you have posted and that there may be circumstances in which the law does not require or allow removal even if requested.

When we share your personal information with our partners, Western Digital-affiliated companies, and service providers, your personal information may be transferred to and/or made accessible from countries out of the European Economic Area or the People’s Republic of China. In such circumstances, we will enter into model contractual clauses as adopted by the European Commission or the Cyberspace Administration of China, as applicable, or rely on alternative legal bases, and implement mandatory measures to act in accordance with applicable laws (for example, creating a process to disclose additional required information to you when transferring your personal information out of the People’s Republic of China). For some of our services, your personal information may be transferred to and/or stored and processed on servers located in the United States, or in other locations outside of the country where you reside for the  purpose of providing the services to you.

We may periodically change this Privacy Statement to keep pace with new technologies, industry practices, and regulatory requirements, among other reasons. We expect most such changes to be minor. Any non-material changes will take effect immediately upon posting of an updated Privacy Statement, and we will indicate the Last Modified date at the top of this document. There may, however, be cases where changes to this Privacy Statement may be more significant. In such cases, we will provide you with a prominent notice of such changes on our website or will directly send you a notification. 

Your continued use of our products and services after the effective date of the Privacy Statement means that you accept the revised Privacy Statement.

Personal information is information that can be used to directly or indirectly identify you. Personal information also includes information that is linked to information that can be used to directly or indirectly identify you. Personal information does not include information that has been irreversibly anonymized or aggregated so that it can no longer enable us, whether in combination with other information or otherwise, to identify you. To the extent we process de-identified information, we will maintain and use the information in de-identified form.

We may retain, however, information related to you if we believe it may be necessary to prevent fraud or future abuse, if required by law, or for legitimate purposes, where applicable, such as analysis of non personal information, account recovery, maintaining the functionality or security of our systems, auditing our records, or  enforcing our rights and obligations under our agreements.

Our products and services, including our websites and digital media properties, may contain links to or the ability for you to access third-party websites, products, and services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices employed by those third parties, nor are we responsible for the information or content their products and services contain. This Privacy Statement applies solely to information collected by us. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third parties before proceeding to use their websites, products, or services.

It is important that you take precautions to protect against unauthorized access to your Western Digital products, account credentials, and computers or other devices. If you feel that the security of your account or personal information has been compromised, please immediately Contact Us. Please be aware that, despite our efforts to maintain reasonable and appropriate physical, electronic, and procedural security measures, no security system is impenetrable. In the event of a security breach, we will promptly notify you and the proper authorities if required by law.

We will store your personal information in accordance with applicable data protection law, retain such information in accordance with our data retention policy for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Statement, and delete such information in accordance with our deletion policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, Sensitive Information shall be used for the specific transaction in which it was intended and only retained by us for the period of time needed to complete the transaction or as otherwise permitted by the user.

We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose information from children under the age of 16. If we learn that we have  collected the personal information of a child under the age of 16—or the equivalent minimum age depending on the  jurisdiction, such as 13 in the United States or 14 in the People’s Republic of China (which, for the purposes of this Privacy  Statement, excludes the Hong Kong SAR, Macao SAR and the Taiwan region)—we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible. Please immediately Contact Us if you become aware that a child under the age of 16 has provided us with personal information.

If you are a California resident under the age of 18, and you are a registered user of our products or services, California law permits you to request and obtain removal of content or information you have publicly posted. To make such a  request, please Contact Us with specific information about where the content or information is posted and attesting that you posted it. We will then make reasonable, good faith efforts to remove the post from prospective public view, or anonymize it so you cannot be individually identified, to the extent required by applicable law. Please be aware that such a request does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information you have posted and that there may be circumstances in which the law does not require or allow removal even if requested.

When we share your personal information with our partners, Western Digital-affiliated companies, and service providers, your personal information may be transferred to and/or made accessible from countries out of the European Economic Area or the People’s Republic of China. In such circumstances, we will enter into model contractual clauses as adopted by the European Commission or the Cyberspace Administration of China, as applicable, or rely on alternative legal bases, and implement mandatory measures to act in accordance with applicable laws (for example, creating a process to disclose additional required information to you when transferring your personal information out of the People’s Republic of China). For some of our services, your personal information may be transferred to and/or stored and processed on servers located in the United States, or in other locations outside of the country where you reside for the  purpose of providing the services to you.

We may periodically change this Privacy Statement to keep pace with new technologies, industry practices, and regulatory requirements, among other reasons. We expect most such changes to be minor. Any non-material changes will take effect immediately upon posting of an updated Privacy Statement, and we will indicate the Last Modified date at the top of this document. There may, however, be cases where changes to this Privacy Statement may be more significant. In such cases, we will provide you with a prominent notice of such changes on our website or will directly send you a notification. 

Your continued use of our products and services after the effective date of the Privacy Statement means that you accept the revised Privacy Statement. If you do not agree to the revised Privacy Statement, please refrain from using our products and services and Contact Us to close any account you may have created.

Personal information is information that can be used to directly or indirectly identify you. Personal information also includes information that is linked to information that can be used to directly or indirectly identify you. Personal information does not include information that has been irreversibly anonymized or aggregated so that it can no longer enable us, whether in combination with other information or otherwise, to identify you. To the extent we process de-identified information, we will maintain and use the information in de-identified form.

Μπορεί να χρησιμοποιήσουμε προσωπικές πληροφορίες για τους σκοπούς που περιγράφονται στην παρούσα Δήλωση Ιδιωτικού Απορρήτου. Σε γενικές γραμμές, χρησιμοποιούμε προσωπικές πληροφορίες για την παροχή, τη βελτίωση, την ανάπτυξη και την εξατομίκευση της εμπειρίας σας με τα προϊόντα και τις υπηρεσίες μας, για να επικοινωνήσουμε μαζί σας, να σας προσφέρουμε στοχευμένες διαφημίσεις και υπηρεσίες και να προστατεύσουμε εμάς και τους χρήστες μας. Ενδέχεται να το πράξουμε με τη συγκατάθεσή σας, για σκοπούς συμμόρφωσης με κάποια νομική υποχρέωση, για την εκτέλεση μιας σύμβασης με εσάς ή για τα έννομα συμφέροντά μας, στον βαθμό που επιτρέπει η ισχύουσα νομοθεσία. Η Western Digital Technologies, Inc. συλλέγει, επεξεργάζεται και καθορίζει τον τρόπο επεξεργασίας των προσωπικών σας πληροφοριών ως υπεύθυνος επεξεργασίας δεδομένων για τους εξής σκοπούς:

Η εν λόγω επεξεργασία εκτελείται διότι είναι απαραίτητη για την εκπλήρωση μιας σύμβασης με εσάς ή βασίζεται στο έννομο συμφέρον μας να διασφαλίσουμε την ασφάλεια των προϊόντων και υπηρεσιών μας.
• Επεξεργασία πληρωμών: Το σύστημα επεξεργασία πληρωμών μας ενδέχεται να χρησιμοποιήσει τις προσωπικές σας πληροφορίες, συμπεριλαμβανομένων των εμπορικών και οικονομικών πληροφοριών, ειδικά για την επεξεργασία πληρωμών και προμηθειών συναλλαγής που σχετίζονται με ένα προϊόν ή μια υπηρεσία που ζητήσατε.

Εάν πιστεύετε ότι έχει διακυβευθεί η ασφάλεια του λογαριασμού ή των προσωπικών πληροφοριών σας, Επικοινωνήστε μαζί μας. Λάβετε υπόψη ότι, παρά τις προσπάθειές μας να διατηρήσουμε εύλογα και κατάλληλα φυσικά, ηλεκτρονικά, και διαδικαστικά μέτρα ασφαλείας, δεν υπάρχει σύστημα ασφαλείας που δεν μπορεί να παραβιαστεί. Σε περίπτωση παραβίασης της ασφάλειας, θα ειδοποιήσουμε αμέσως τόσο εσάς όσο και τις αρμόδιες αρχές, όπως απαιτεί ο νόμος.

Θα αποθηκεύσουμε τις προσωπικές σας πληροφορίες σύμφωνα με την ισχύουσα νομοθεσία για την προστασία των δεδομένων, θα διατηρήσουμε τέτοιες πληροφορίες σύμφωνα με την πολιτική μας για τη διατήρηση των δεδομένων για όσο καιρό απαιτείται ώστε να εκπληρωθούν οι στόχοι που περιγράφονται στην παρούσα Δήλωση Ιδιωτικού Απορρήτου και θα διαγράψουμε τέτοιες πληροφορίες σύμφωνα με την πολιτική μας για τη διαγραφή, εκτός κι αν απαιτείται ή επιτρέπεται βάσει νόμου μια μεγαλύτερη περίοδος διακράτησης. Οι ευαίσθητες πληροφορίες θα χρησιμοποιούνται για τη συγκεκριμένη συναλλαγή για την οποία προορίζονταν και θα διατηρούνται από εμάς μόνο για τη χρονική περίοδο που απαιτείται για την ολοκλήρωση της συναλλαγής ή όπως άλλως επιτρέπεται από τον χρήστη.

Δεν συλλέγουμε εν γνώσει μας ούτε χρησιμοποιούμε ή γνωστοποιούμε πληροφορίες από παιδιά ηλικίας κάτω των 16 ετών. Εάν διαπιστώσουμε ότι έχουμε συλλέξει τις προσωπικές πληροφορίες ενός παιδιού ηλικίας κάτω των 16 ετών —ή το αντίστοιχο ελάχιστο όριο ηλικίας που ισχύει στην εκάστοτε χώρα, όπως είναι η ηλικία των 13 ετών στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες ή των 14 ετών στη Λαϊκή Δημοκρατία της Κίνας (η οποία, για τους σκοπούς της παρούσας Δήλωσης Ιδιωτικού Απορρήτου, δεν περιλαμβάνει την Ειδική Διοικητική Περιοχή του Χονγκ Κονγκ, την Ειδική Διοικητική Περιοχή του Μακάο και την περιοχή της Ταϊβάν) — θα λάβουμε μέτρα για τη διαγραφή των πληροφοριών το συντομότερο δυνατό. Παρακαλούμε Επικοινωνήστε μαζί μας αμέσως μόλις λάβετε γνώση ότι ένα παιδί κάτω των 16 ετών μάς έχει παράσχει προσωπικές πληροφορίες.

Εάν είστε κάτοικος της Καλιφόρνια κάτω των 18 ετών και είστε εγγεγραμμένος χρήστης των προϊόντων ή των υπηρεσιών μας, η νομοθεσία της Καλιφόρνια σάς επιτρέπει να ζητήσετε την αφαίρεση περιεχομένου ή πληροφοριών που έχετε αναρτήσει δημοσίως. Για να υποβάλετε το σχετικό αίτημα Επικοινωνήστε μαζί μας με συγκεκριμένα στοιχεία για το πού έχει αναρτηθεί το περιεχόμενο ή οι πληροφορίες, βεβαιώνοντας ότι πράγματι έχετε προβεί στη σχετική ανάρτηση. Στη συνέχεια, θα καταβάλλουμε εύλογες, καλόπιστες προσπάθειες για να αφαιρέσουμε την ανάρτηση από ενδεχόμενη δημόσια προβολή ή να την ανωνυμοποιήσουμε ούτως ώστε να μην είναι δυνατή η ταυτοποίησή σας, στον βαθμό που απαιτείται από την ισχύουσα νομοθεσία. Επισημαίνεται ότι το σχετικό αίτημα δεν διασφαλίζει την πλήρη ή ολοκληρωμένη διαγραφή του περιεχομένου ή των πληροφοριών που έχετε αναρτήσει και ότι ενδέχεται να υπάρχουν περιστάσεις στις οποίες ο νόμος δεν απαιτεί ή δεν επιτρέπει τη διαγραφή ακόμα και αν υπάρξει σχετικό αίτημα.

Όταν γνωστοποιούμε τις προσωπικές πληροφορίες σας στους συνεργάτες μας, σε συνδεδεμένες εταιρείες της Western Digital και σε παρόχους υπηρεσιών, οι προσωπικές πληροφορίες σας ενδέχεται να διαβιβαστούν ή/και να καταστούν προσβάσιμες από χώρες εκτός του Ευρωπαϊκού Οικονομικού Χώρου ή της Λαϊκής Δημοκρατίας της Κίνας. Σε αυτές τις περιπτώσεις, θα συνάψουμε πρότυπες συμβατικές ρήτρες όπως αυτές που έχει εγκρίνει η Ευρωπαϊκή Επιτροπή ή η Διοίκηση Κυβερνοχώρου της Κίνας, κατά περίπτωση, ή θα βασιστούμε σε εναλλακτικές νομικές βάσεις και θα εφαρμόσουμε υποχρεωτικά μέτρα προκειμένου να ενεργούμε σύμφωνα με την ισχύουσα νομοθεσία (για παράδειγμα, δημιουργώντας μια διαδικασία για τη γνωστοποίηση πρόσθετων απαιτούμενων πληροφοριών σε εσάς όταν διαβιβάζουμε τις προσωπικές πληροφορίες σας εκτός της Λαϊκής Δημοκρατίας της Κίνας). Για ορισμένες υπηρεσίες μας, οι προσωπικές πληροφορίες σας ενδέχεται να διαβιβαστούν ή/και να αποθηκευτούν και να υποβληθούν σε επεξεργασία σε διακομιστές που βρίσκονται στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες ή σε άλλες τοποθεσίες εκτός της χώρας όπου διαμένετε, με σκοπό την παροχή των υπηρεσιών σε εσάς.

Οι εν λόγω τροποποιήσεις θα είναι πιθανότατα μικρής σημασίας. Κάθε μη ουσιαστική αλλαγή θα ισχύει αμέσως μετά τη δημοσίευση της επικαιροποιημένης Δήλωσης Ιδιωτικού Απορρήτου, και θα φροντίζουμε να αναφέρουμε την ημερομηνία τελευταίας τροποποίησης στην αρχή του παρόντος εγγράφου. Ωστόσο, ενδέχεται σε ορισμένες περιπτώσεις να υπάρχουν πιο σημαντικές τροποποιήσεις στη Δήλωση Ιδιωτικού Απορρήτου. Σε αυτές τις περιπτώσεις, θα σας παρέχουμε σαφή ενημέρωση για τις εν λόγω τροποποιήσεις στον ιστότοπό μας ή θα σας αποστέλλουμε απευθείας σχετική ειδοποίηση. 

Η συνέχιση της χρήσης των προϊόντων και των υπηρεσιών μας μετά την ημερομηνία έναρξης ισχύος της Δήλωσης Ιδιωτικού Απορρήτου ισοδυναμεί με αποδοχή της αναθεωρημένης έκδοσης της Δήλωσης Ιδιωτικού Απορρήτου. Εάν δεν συμφωνείτε με την αναθεωρημένη έκδοση της Δήλωσης Ιδιωτικού Απορρήτου, παρακαλούμε να διακόψετε τη χρήση των προϊόντων και των υπηρεσιών μας και να Επικοινωνήσετε μαζί μας για την κατάργηση οποιωνδήποτε λογαριασμών έχετε δημιουργήσει.

You also may object to, or restrict, the further processing of your personal information, and appeal any decisions involving the exercise of your applicable rights. We will not discriminate against you for the exercise of your applicable rights.

If you request to delete your data, this would remove your ability to access any Western Digital accounts. We have no obligation to retain your information, and we may delete any or all of your information without liability. We may retain, however, information related to you if we believe it may be necessary to prevent fraud or future abuse, if required by law, or for legitimate purposes, where applicable, such as analysis of non personal information, account recovery, maintaining the functionality or security of our systems, auditing our records, or  enforcing our rights and obligations under our agreements.

Our products and services, including our websites and digital media properties, may contain links to or the ability for you to access third-party websites, products, and services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices employed by those third parties, nor are we responsible for the information or content their products and services contain.

In the event of a security breach, we will promptly notify you and the proper authorities if required by law.

We will store your personal information in accordance with applicable data protection law, retain such information in accordance with our data retention policy for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Statement, and delete such information in accordance with our deletion policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, Sensitive Information shall be used for the specific transaction in which it was intended and only retained by us for the period of time needed to complete the transaction or as otherwise permitted by the user.

We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose information from children under the age of 16. If we learn that we have  collected the personal information of a child under the age of 16—or the equivalent minimum age depending on the  jurisdiction, such as 13 in the United States or 14 in the People’s Republic of China (which, for the purposes of this Privacy  Statement, excludes the Hong Kong SAR, Macao SAR and the Taiwan region)—we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible. Please immediately Contact Us if you become aware that a child under the age of 16 has provided us with personal information.

If you are a California resident under the age of 18, and you are a registered user of our products or services, California law permits you to request and obtain removal of content or information you have publicly posted. To make such a  request, please Contact Us with specific information about where the content or information is posted and attesting that you posted it. We will then make reasonable, good faith efforts to remove the post from prospective public view, or anonymize it so you cannot be individually identified, to the extent required by applicable law. Please be aware that such a request does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information you have posted and that there may be circumstances in which the law does not require or allow removal even if requested.

When we share your personal information with our partners, Western Digital-affiliated companies, and service providers, your personal information may be transferred to and/or made accessible from countries out of the European Economic Area or the People’s Republic of China. In such circumstances, we will enter into model contractual clauses as adopted by the European Commission or the Cyberspace Administration of China, as applicable, or rely on alternative legal bases, and implement mandatory measures to act in accordance with applicable laws (for example, creating a process to disclose additional required information to you when transferring your personal information out of the People’s Republic of China). For some of our services, your personal information may be transferred to and/or stored and processed on servers located in the United States, or in other locations outside of the country where you reside for the  purpose of providing the services to you.

We may periodically change this Privacy Statement to keep pace with new technologies, industry practices, and regulatory requirements, among other reasons. We expect most such changes to be minor.

De Privacyverklaring is van toepassingen op alle producten en diensten van Western Digital, behalve voor producten en diensten met een aparte privacyverklaring.

Waar van toepassing, geeft u toestemming voor het gebruik van uw gegevens zoals beschreven in deze Privacyverklaring telkens wanneer u gebruikmaakt van onze producten of diensten. We adviseren u daarom dit document volledig door te lezen en contact met ons op te nemen als u vragen hebt.

Persoonsgegevens zijn gegevens die kunnen worden gebruikt om u direct of indirect te identificeren.

Hoe we uw persoonsgegevens gebruiken

Wij kunnen uw persoonlijke informatie gebruiken voor de doeleinden die in deze Privacyverklaring vermeld staan. In het algemeen gebruiken we persoonsgegevens om onze producten en diensten te leveren, verbeteren en ontwikkelen en uw ervaring daarmee persoonlijk te maken, om met u te communiceren, om u gerichte advertenties en diensten te bieden en om onszelf en onze gebruikers te beschermen. Wij kunnen dit doen op basis van uw toestemming, om een wettelijke verplichting na te komen, om een contract met u uit te voeren of om aan onze gerechtvaardigde belangen te voldoen, voor zover dit door de toepasselijke wetgeving is toegestaan. Western Digital Technologies, Inc. verzamelt, verwerkt en bepaalt als verwerkingsverantwoordelijke hoe uw persoonsgegevens worden verwerkt voor de volgende doeleinden:

• Het leveren, verbeteren en ontwikkelen van en het persoonlijk maken van uw ervaring met van onze producten en diensten: We kunnen persoonsgegevens gebruiken om ons te helpen onze producten en diensten te leveren, verbeteren en ontwikkelen. Dit omvat tevens het gebruik van persoonsgegevens voor doeleinden zoals gegevensanalyse, onderzoek en audits. Wij kunnen deze verwerking uitvoeren op basis van uw toestemming of onze gerechtvaardigde belangen bij het aanbieden van producten en diensten aan u, alsook om de bedrijfscontinuïteit te waarborgen. Als u deelneemt aan een loterij, prijsvraag of andere promotie, kunnen we gebruik maken van de persoonsgegevens die u verstrekt om deze programma’s te organiseren. Voor sommige van deze activiteiten gelden extra regels, die aanvullende informatie kunnen bevatten over hoe we persoonsgegevens gebruiken, dus moedigen we u aan deze regels zorgvuldig door te lezen alvorens deel te nemen.
• Communicatie met u: Wij kunnen persoonsgegevens gebruiken om te reageren op uw vragen en om met u te communiceren over belangrijke kennisgevingen, waaronder kennisgevingen met betrekking tot uw account, producten, diensten, transacties of wijzigingen in onze beleidsregels en voorwaarden. Dergelijke verwerking wordt uitgevoerd om aan een contract met u te voldoen, of is gebaseerd op onze gerechtvaardigde belangen bij interactie met u, zodat we u kunnen voorzien van producten en diensten. Wij kunnen ook persoonlijke informatie gebruiken om met u over uw sollicitaties te communiceren. Onze privacykennisgevingen voor sollicitanten en werknemers bevatten aanvullende informatie over de persoonlijke informatie die wij verzamelen en de manier waarop wij persoonlijke informatie gebruiken in verband met uw sollicitatie. Mits u vooraf uitdrukkelijk toestemming heeft gegeven, kunnen we persoonsgegevens gebruiken om u marketingberichten over de eigen producten en diensten van Western Digital toe te sturen en kunnen we uw persoonsgegevens met externe partners delen, die u wellicht marketingberichten over hun producten en diensten zullen toesturen. Als u niet langer marketingberichten per e-mail wilt ontvangen, neem dan contact met ons op om u hiervoor af te melden. We kunnen uw gegevens gebruiken voor het verwerken van en het reageren op uw aanvragen, wanneer u contact met ons opneemt.
• Aanbieden en beoordelen van gerichte advertenties en diensten: We kunnen persoonsgegevens gebruiken om u te voorzien van persoonlijke advertenties, waaronder die op websites en in toepassingen van derden, en om de effectiviteit van onze promotiecampagnes vast te stellen.

We kunnen ook doelgroepmatching gebruiken om klanten (of andere vergelijkbare personen) te bereiken die onze producten en diensten hebben gebruikt of die zijn geïdentificeerd in een of meer van onze databases. Dit doen we door een lijst met gehashte e-mailadressen aan een advertentiepartner te verstrekken of door een pixel van een advertentiepartner in onze eigen producten en diensten op te nemen. Op die manier kan de advertentiepartner gemeenschappelijke factoren tussen onze en zijn gegevens matchen.
• Het bevorderen van de veiligheid: We kunnen persoonsgegevens gebruiken om accounts en gebruikersactiviteiten te helpen verifiëren en de veiligheid te bevorderen, bijvoorbeeld door te waken tegen fraude en door onderzoek te doen naar verdachte of mogelijk illegale activiteiten of schendingen van onze voorwaarden of beleidsrichtlijnen. Dergelijke verwerking wordt uitgevoerd omdat het noodzakelijk is om aan een contract met u te voldoen, of gebaseerd is op onze gerechtvaardigde belangen bij het zorgen voor de veiligheid van onze producten en diensten.

Juridische conformiteit en beveiliging

Vanwege de wet of ten gevolge van juridische processen, procedures of verzoeken van openbare of overheidsinstanties binnen of buiten uw woonland kan het noodzakelijk zijn dat we persoonsgegevens vrijgeven. Ook geven we mogelijk persoonsgegevens vrij als we vaststellen dat openbaarmaking noodzakelijk of dienstig is ten behoeve van de nationale veiligheid, rechtshandhaving en andere kwesties van openbaar belang.  We kunnen ook persoonsgegevens vrijgeven als we te goeder trouw vaststellen dat openbaarmaking redelijkerwijs noodzakelijk is om onze rechten te beschermen en gebruik te maken van de beschikbare rechtsmiddelen, naleving van onze algemene voorwaarden af te dwingen, fraude te onderzoeken of onze activiteiten of gebruikers te beschermen.

We nemen redelijke stappen om ervoor te zorgen dat uw persoonsgegevens accuraat, volledig en up-to-date zijn. Afhankelijk van waar u woont, beschikt u mogelijk over de rechten die hieronder worden beschreven.

• Het recht om te weten welke persoonsgegevens we verzamelen, inclusief de bronnen waaruit de persoonsgegevens worden verzameld, ons doel of onze doelen voor verzameling en de categorieën ontvangers met wie we uw persoonsgegevens hebben gedeeld, inclusief het delen met derden voor hun eigen marketingdoeleinden

U kunt ons webformulier invullen om uw rechten uit te oefenen. Wij reageren binnen het volgens de toepasselijke wetgeving vereiste tijdsbestek op uw verzoek (en in het algemeen binnen 30 dagen).

Zoals wettelijk vereist, en ter bescherming van de privacy en de veiligheid van uw persoonsgegevens, kunnen we gegevens bij u opvragen om uw identiteit en recht op toegang tot dergelijke gegevens te bevestigen, alsmede om te zoeken naar de persoonsgegevens die we aanhouden en deze aan u te verstrekken. Er zijn gevallen waarin toepasselijke wetten of wettelijke vereisten ons toestaan of verplichten een verzoek te weigeren.

Bent u een inwoner van Californië of een andere staat of jurisdictie die u het recht verschaft om u af te melden voor de verkoop of het delen van uw persoonsgegevens door ons aan derden voor het gebruik van uw gegevens zoals hierboven beschreven, inclusief cross-context gedragsreclame:

• dien een verzoek in via het formulier Verkoop mijn persoonsgegevens niet dat hier beschikbaar is met vermelding van uw wens om u af te melden voor verkoop (zoals het delen van uw gegevens met onze partners ten behoeve van doelgroepmatching via andere middelen dan cookies of webtrackingtechnologieën waar in (2) hieronder naar wordt verwezen); en 
• klik op Cookie Voorkeursinstellingen in de onderstaande voettekst en schakel de opties in op 'Nee' voor zowel de cookieopties 'Prestaties en functionaliteit' als 'Reclame' en klik op 'Voorkeuren verzenden'. Hierdoor deactiveert u prestatie-, functionaliteits- en reclamecookies en webtrackingtechnologieën op onze site, inclusief cookies die worden gebruikt voor doelgroepmatchingdoeleinden en gepersonaliseerde advertenties. Het deactiveren van deze cookies en webtrackingtechnologieën is mogelijk alleen van toepassing op de specifieke browser van waaruit u op de link klikt en uw voorkeuren kunnen worden gereset als u uw instellingen wijzigt.

Gemachtigde agent: U kunt een agent machtigen om namens u een verzoek in te dienen, mits u de gemachtigde agent daarvoor schriftelijk toestemming hebt gegeven, voorzien van uw handtekening, en mits deze agent zijn of haar identiteit tegenover ons kan bewijzen.  Als u inwoner bent van Californië en een agent wilt aanwijzen om een verzoek in te dienen, moet uw agent zich als zodanig registreren bij de minister van Buitenlandse Zaken van Californië en een kopie van deze registratie indienen, samen met uw geverifieerde consumentenverzoek. Laat uw gemachtigde agent de bovenstaande instructies volgen om een verzoek in te dienen en stuur uw schriftelijke verklaring waarin u de agent machtigt om namens u te handelen, gecertificeerd door een notaris, naar het volgende adres: Legal Department, 5601 Great Oaks Parkway, San Jose, California, 95119 USA Als uw gemachtigde agent een volmacht heeft, hoeven deze stappen mogelijk niet te worden uitgevoerd.

U kunt ook telefonisch contact met ons opnemen via 888-914-9661 (PIN: 228663) om de aan u toegekende rechten uit te oefenen, en u kunt een klacht indienen bij de bevoegde autoriteit voor de bescherming van persoonsgegevens met betrekking tot de verwerking van uw persoonsgegevens. U kunt ook bezwaar maken tegen de verdere verwerking van uw persoonsgegevens, of deze verwerking beperken, en u kunt bezwaar maken tegen beslissingen die betrekking hebben op de uitoefening van uw toepasselijke rechten. Wij zullen u niet discrimineren wegens de uitoefening van uw toepasselijke rechten.

Als u ons verzoekt uw gegevens te verwijderen, hebt u geen toegang meer tot Western Digital-accounts. We hebben geen verplichting om uw gegevens te bewaren en kunnen we deze geheel of gedeeltelijk verwijderen zonder enige aansprakelijkheid. We kunnen echter informatie die op u van toepassing is, bewaren als wij van mening zijn dat dit noodzakelijk is om fraude of toekomstig misbruik te voorkomen of als wij hiertoe door de wet verplicht zijn, danwel voor legitieme doeleinden, waar van toepassing, zoals analyse van niet-persoonsgegevens, accountherstel, onderhoud van functionaliteiten of veiligheid van onze systemen, audit van onze gegevens of het doen gelden van onze rechten en verplichtingen die voortvloeien uit onze overeenkomsten.

Onze producten en diensten, inclusief onze websites en digitale media, kunnen links bevatten naar of u de mogelijkheid bieden om toegang te krijgen tot websites, producten en diensten van derden. We zijn niet verantwoordelijk voor de privacyregels van deze derden, noch zijn we verantwoordelijk voor de gegevens of inhoud die hun producten en diensten bevatten. Deze Privacyverklaring heeft uitsluitend betrekking op gegevens die door ons zijn verzameld. We raden u aan het privacybeleid van derden te lezen alvorens gebruik te maken van hun websites, producten of diensten.

Het is belangrijk dat u voorzorgsmaatregelen neemt om u te beschermen tegen ongeoorloofde toegang tot uw Western Digital-producten, uw computers, uw andere apparaten en de aanmeldgegevens voor uw account. Als u van mening bent dat inbreuk is gemaakt op de veiligheid van uw account of persoonsgegevens, neem dan onmiddellijk contact met ons op. Houd er rekening mee dat geen beveiligingssysteem ondoordringbaar is, hoezeer wij ons ook inspannen om redelijke en passende fysieke, elektronische en procedurele veiligheidsmaatregelen te handhaven. In geval van een inbreuk op de beveiliging zullen wij u en de bevoegde autoriteiten onmiddellijk op de hoogte brengen indien wij daartoe wettelijk verplicht zijn.

Wij bewaren uw persoonsgegevens in overeenstemming met de toepasselijke wetgeving inzake gegevensbescherming, bewaren deze gegevens in overeenstemming met ons beleid voor het bewaren van gegevens zolang dit nodig is om te voldoen aan de doeleinden die in deze Privacyverklaring worden beschreven, en verwijderen deze gegevens in overeenstemming met ons verwijderingsbeleid, tenzij een langere bewaartermijn wettelijk vereist of toegestaan is. Gevoelige informatie wordt gebruikt voor de specifieke transactie waarvoor deze was bedoeld en wordt alleen door ons bewaard gedurende de periode die nodig is om de transactie te voltooien of zoals anderszins toegestaan door de gebruiker.

We verzamelen, gebruiken of verstrekken geen gegevens van kinderen van wie wij weten dat ze jonger zijn dan 16 jaar. Als we erachter komen dat we persoonsgegevens van een kind jonger dan 16 jaar hebben verzameld, dan wel een kind dat jonger is dan de toepasselijke minimumleeftijd in de betreffende jurisdictie, zoals 13 in de Verenigde Staten of 14 in de Volksrepubliek China (voor de doeleinden van deze Privacyverklaring omvat de Volksrepubliek China ook de speciale bestuurlijke regio's van Hongkong en Macao, en de regio Taiwan), ondernemen we stappen om de gegevens zo spoedig mogelijk te verwijderen. Neem onmiddellijk contact met ons op als u merkt dat een kind jonger dan 16 jaar persoonsgegevens aan ons heeft verstrekt.

Als u inwoner van Californië bent en jonger dan 18 jaar, en als u een geregistreerde gebruiker van onze producten of services bent, staat de wet in Californië u toe de verwijdering van inhoud of informatie die u in het openbaar heeft geplaatst aan te vragen en te verkrijgen. Als u een dergelijke aanvraag wilt indienen, neemt u dan contact met ons op met vermelding van specifieke informatie over waar de inhoud of informatie is geplaatst, en met een verklaring waaruit blijkt dat u degene bent die deze heeft geplaatst. We zullen dan te goeder trouw redelijke inspanningen doen om het bericht te verwijderen uit mogelijke openbare publicaties of om dit te anonimiseren zodat u niet als persoon kunt worden geïdentificeerd, voor zover de toepasselijke wetgeving dit vereist. Houd er rekening mee dat een dergelijk verzoek geen garantie vormt voor een volledige of alomvattende verwijdering van de inhoud of informatie die u heeft geplaatst, en dat er omstandigheden kunnen zijn waarin de wet de verwijdering niet vereist of toestaat, zelfs als daarom wordt gevraagd.

Wanneer we uw persoonsgegevens met onze partners, aan Western Digital gelieerde bedrijven en serviceproviders delen, kunnen uw persoonsgegevens worden doorgestuurd naar en/of toegankelijk gemaakt worden vanuit landen buiten de Europese Economische Ruimte of de Volksrepubliek China. In dergelijke gevallen zullen we gebruikmaken van modelcontractbepalingen, goedgekeurd door de Europese Commissie of de Cyberspace Administration of China, zoals van toepassing, of ons op alternatieve rechtsgronden baseren. We zullen ook verplichte middelen inzetten om te voldoen aan de toepasselijke wetgeving, zoals een proces opzetten om aanvullende vereiste informatie aan u te verstrekken wanneer uw persoonsgegevens naar de Volksrepubliek China worden verzonden. Voor sommige van onze diensten kunnen uw persoonsgegevens worden overgedragen naar en/of worden opgeslagen en verwerkt op servers in de Verenigde Staten, of op andere locaties buiten het land waarin u woonachtig bent om u te kunnen voorzien van de diensten.

We kunnen deze Privacyverklaring periodiek wijzigen, onder andere om gelijke tred te houden met nieuwe technologieën, branchepraktijken en wettelijke voorschriften. Wij verwachten dat het in de meeste gevallen om kleine wijzigingen zal gaan. Alle niet-materiële wijzigingen worden onmiddellijk van kracht na publicatie van een bijgewerkte Privacyverklaring. De datum van laatste wijziging wordt bovenaan dit document vermeld. Er kunnen echter gevallen zijn waarin wijzigingen in de Privacyverklaring van meer betekenis kan zijn. In dergelijke gevallen zullen we een prominente kennisgeving van dergelijke wijzigingen doen op onze website of u rechtstreeks een bericht sturen. 

Als u na de ingangsdatum van de Privacyverklaring gebruik blijft maken van onze producten en diensten, betekent dit dat u akkoord gaat met de gewijzigde Privacyverklaring. Als u niet akkoord gaat met de herziene Privacyverklaring, verzoeken wij u om geen gebruik meer te maken van onze producten en diensten en contact met ons op te nemen om door u gemaakte accounts te sluiten.

Als u vragen hebt over deze Privacyverklaring of de implementatie hiervan, kunt u een e-mail sturen naar onze functionaris voor gegevensbescherming (FG) op DPO@wdc.com. U kunt ons ook bereiken via ons webformulier of een e-mail schrijven naar een vestiging: T.a.v.: Juridische afdeling - Vraag over Privacyverklaring.

Voor klanten in de Europese Unie hebben we onze FG geregistreerd bij de Ierse privacycommissie (Data Protection Commission). Als u vragen of punten van zorg hebt over onze privacypraktijken, moedigen wij u aan contact op te nemen met onze FG op het bovenstaande e-mailadres.

Legal Compliance and Security

It may be necessary—by law or as a result of legal process, litigation, or requests from public or governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence—for us to disclose personal information. We may also disclose personal information if we determine that for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate.  We may also disclose personal information if we determine in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to  protect our rights and pursue available remedies, enforce our terms and conditions, investigate fraud, or protect our operations or users.

There are instances where applicable laws or regulatory requirements allow or require us to deny a request.

• submit a request through the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information form available here, specifying you wish to opt-out of sales (such as sharing your information with our partners for audience matching purposes via means other than cookies or web tracking technologies referenced in (2) below); and 
• click Cookie Preferences in the footer below and toggle the options to “No” for both “Performance and Functionality” and “Advertising” Cookie options, and click “Submit Preferences”.

Deactivating these cookies and web tracking technologies may only apply to the specific browser from which you click the link, and your preferences may reset if you change your settings.

Authorized Agent: You may authorize an agent to submit a request on your behalf, so long as you provide the authorized agent written permission signed by you to make a request on your behalf, and your authorized agent additionally is able to verify their identity with us.  If you are a resident of California, and would like to designate an agent for purposes of making a request, your agent must register as such with the California Secretary of State and submit a copy of this registration along with your verified consumer request. Please have your authorized agent follow the instructions above to make a request, and additionally mail your written declaration authorizing the agent to act on your behalf, certified by a notary public, to: Legal Department, 5601 Great Oaks Parkway, San Jose, California 95119 USA. If your authorized agent has power of attorney, it may not be necessary to perform these steps.

You may also contact us via phone at 888-914-9661 (PIN: 228663) to exercise your applicable rights, and you may lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority regarding the processing of your personal information. You also may object to, or restrict, the further processing of your personal information, and appeal any decisions involving the exercise of your applicable rights. We will not discriminate against you for the exercise of your applicable rights.

If you request to delete your data, this would remove your ability to access any Western Digital accounts. We have no obligation to retain your information, and we may delete any or all of your information without liability. We may retain, however, information related to you if we believe it may be necessary to prevent fraud or future abuse, if required by law, or for legitimate purposes, where applicable, such as analysis of non personal information, account recovery, maintaining the functionality or security of our systems, auditing our records, or  enforcing our rights and obligations under our agreements.

Our products and services, including our websites and digital media properties, may contain links to or the ability for you to access third-party websites, products, and services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices employed by those third parties, nor are we responsible for the information or content their products and services contain. This Privacy Statement applies solely to information collected by us. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third parties before proceeding to use their websites, products, or services.

It is important that you take precautions to protect against unauthorized access to your Western Digital products, account credentials, and computers or other devices. If you feel that the security of your account or personal information has been compromised, please immediately Contact Us. Please be aware that, despite our efforts to maintain reasonable and appropriate physical, electronic, and procedural security measures, no security system is impenetrable. In the event of a security breach, we will promptly notify you and the proper authorities if required by law.

We will store your personal information in accordance with applicable data protection law, retain such information in accordance with our data retention policy for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Statement, and delete such information in accordance with our deletion policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, Sensitive Information shall be used for the specific transaction in which it was intended and only retained by us for the period of time needed to complete the transaction or as otherwise permitted by the user.

We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose information from children under the age of 16. If we learn that we have  collected the personal information of a child under the age of 16—or the equivalent minimum age depending on the  jurisdiction, such as 13 in the United States or 14 in the People’s Republic of China (which, for the purposes of this Privacy  Statement, excludes the Hong Kong SAR, Macao SAR and the Taiwan region)—we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible. Please immediately Contact Us if you become aware that a child under the age of 16 has provided us with personal information.

If you are a California resident under the age of 18, and you are a registered user of our products or services, California law permits you to request and obtain removal of content or information you have publicly posted. To make such a  request, please Contact Us with specific information about where the content or information is posted and attesting that you posted it. We will then make reasonable, good faith efforts to remove the post from prospective public view, or anonymize it so you cannot be individually identified, to the extent required by applicable law. Please be aware that such a request does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information you have posted and that there may be circumstances in which the law does not require or allow removal even if requested.

When we share your personal information with our partners, Western Digital-affiliated companies, and service providers, your personal information may be transferred to and/or made accessible from countries out of the European Economic Area or the People’s Republic of China. In such circumstances, we will enter into model contractual clauses as adopted by the European Commission or the Cyberspace Administration of China, as applicable, or rely on alternative legal bases, and implement mandatory measures to act in accordance with applicable laws (for example, creating a process to disclose additional required information to you when transferring your personal information out of the People’s Republic of China). For some of our services, your personal information may be transferred to and/or stored and processed on servers located in the United States, or in other locations outside of the country where you reside for the  purpose of providing the services to you.

We may periodically change this Privacy Statement to keep pace with new technologies, industry practices, and regulatory requirements, among other reasons. We expect most such changes to be minor. Any non-material changes will take effect immediately upon posting of an updated Privacy Statement, and we will indicate the Last Modified date at the top of this document. There may, however, be cases where changes to this Privacy Statement may be more significant. In such cases, we will provide you with a prominent notice of such changes on our website or will directly send you a notification. 

Your continued use of our products and services after the effective date of the Privacy Statement means that you accept the revised Privacy Statement. If you do not agree to the revised Privacy Statement, please refrain from using our products and services and Contact Us to close any account you may have created.

Personal information is information that can be used to directly or indirectly identify you. Personal information also includes information that is linked to information that can be used to directly or indirectly identify you. Personal information does not include information that has been irreversibly anonymized or aggregated so that it can no longer enable us, whether in combination with other information or otherwise, to identify you. To the extent we process de-identified information, we will maintain and use the information in de-identified form.

Pamatujte prosím, že i přes naše úsilí o přiměřená a vhodná fyzická, elektronická a procedurální bezpečnostní opatření není žádný bezpečnostní systém neproniknutelný. V případě narušení bezpečnosti budeme vás i kompetentní orgány, vyžaduje-li to zákon, neprodleně informovat.

Vaše osobní údaje budeme uchovávat v souladu s platnými zákony o ochraně osobních údajů, uchovávat je v souladu s našimi zásadami uchovávání údajů po dobu nezbytnou k naplnění účelů uvedených v tomto prohlášení o ochraně osobních údajů a mazat je v souladu s našimi zásadami mazání, pokud zákon nevyžaduje nebo nepovoluje delší dobu uchovávání. Citlivé údaje budou použity pro konkrétní transakci, pro kterou byly určeny, a budeme je uchovávat pouze po dobu nezbytnou k dokončení transakce nebo podle jiného povolení uživatele.

Vědomě neshromažďujeme, nepoužíváme ani nezpřístupňujeme informace o dětech mladších 16 let. Pokud zjistíme, že jsme shromáždili osobní údaje dítěte mladšího 16 let – nebo odpovídajícího minimálního věku v závislosti na jurisdikci, například 13 let ve Spojených státech nebo 14 let v Čínské lidové republice (což pro účely tohoto prohlášení o ochraně osobních údajů nezahrnuje zvláštní správní oblast Hongkong, zvláštní správní oblast Macao a oblast Tchaj-wanu) – podnikneme kroky k co nejrychlejšímu odstranění těchto údajů. Zjistíte-li, že nám své osobní údaje poskytlo dítě mladší 16 let, okamžitě nás prosím kontaktujte.

Pokud jste občanem státu Kalifornie, je vám méně než 18 let a jste registrovaným uživatelem našich produktů a služeb, kalifornské zákony vám umožňují požadovat a dosáhnout odstranění obsahu či informací, které jste uveřejnili. V případě takového požadavku nás kontaktujte a uveďte konkrétní informace o tom, kde jsou daný obsah či informace zveřejněny s prohlášením, že jste je osobně zveřejnili. My potom v dobré víře vyvineme náležité úsilí, abychom příspěvek odstranili z veřejného zobrazení nebo jej anonymizujeme tak, aby vás nebylo možné osobně identifikovat, a to v rozsahu požadovaném platnými právními předpisy. Upozorňujeme, že takový požadavek nezajistí kompletní nebo komplexní odstranění daného obsahu či zveřejněných informací a že mohou nastat okolnosti, při kterých po nás zákon nevyžaduje nebo nám neumožňuje takové odstranění, i když jste o něj požádali.

Když vaše osobní údaje sdílíme s našimi partnery, společnostmi přidruženými ke společnosti Western Digital a s poskytovateli služeb, mohou být tyto údaje přenášeny do zemí mimo Evropský hospodářský prostor či Čínskou lidovou republiku nebo z nich zpřístupněny. Za takových okolností uzavřeme vzorové smluvní doložky schválené Evropskou komisí nebo Čínskou správou kybernetického prostoru (dle relevance) nebo se budeme spoléhat na alternativní právní základy a zavedeme povinná opatření, abychom jednali v souladu s platnými právními předpisy (například vytvoříme proces, který vám při přenosu vašich osobních údajů z Čínské lidové republiky sdělí další požadované informace). U některých našich služeb mohou být za účelem poskytování těchto služeb vaše osobní údaje přenášeny nebo ukládány a zpracovávány na serverech umístěných ve Spojených státech amerických nebo v jiných lokalitách mimo zemi, ve které sídlíte.

Toto prohlášení o ochraně osobních údajů můžeme pravidelně měnit, abychom mimo jiné udržovali krok s novými technologiemi, oborovou praxí a regulačními požadavky. Předpokládáme, že většina těchto změn bude okrajové povahy. Všechny změny, které nejsou zásadní, budou platné okamžitě od zveřejnění aktualizované verze prohlášení o ochraně osobních údajů, přičemž v horní části dokumentu bude uvedeno datum poslední úpravy. Mohou ovšem nastat případy, kdy budou mít změny v tomto prohlášení o ochraně osobních údajů zásadní charakter. V takových případech vás budeme o těchto změnách informovat výrazným způsobem na našich webových stránkách nebo vám zašleme oznámení přímo. 

Pokud budete naše produkty a služby nadále používat i po datu účinnosti nové verze prohlášení o ochraně osobních údajů, rozumí se tím, že jeho upravenou verzi přijímáte. Pokud s upravenou verzí prohlášení o ochraně osobních údajů nesouhlasíte, přestaňte naše produkty a služby používat a kontaktujte nás, abychom případně zrušili účet, který jste vytvořili.

Pokud máte jakékoli dotazy k tomuto prohlášení o ochraně osobních údajů nebo jeho uplatňování, zašlete e-mail našemu pověřenci pro ochranu osobních údajů na adresu DPO@wdc.com. Můžete nás také kontaktovat prostřednictvím našeho webového formuláře nebo nám napsat na vaši nejbližší pobočku: ATTN: Právní oddělení – Otázka k prohlášení o ochraně osobních údajů.

Pro zákazníky z Evropské unie jsme jmenovali pověřence pro ochranu osobních údajů u irské komise pro ochranu osobních údajů. V případě jakýchkoli dotazů či nejasností ohledně našich postupů ochrany osobních údajů doporučujeme kontaktovat našeho pověřence pro ochranu osobních údajů prostřednictvím výše uvedené e-mailové adresy.

إذا كنت من سكان كاليفورنيا أو ولاية أو ولاية قضائية أخرى تمنح هذا الحق، فلإلغاء الاشتراك في بيع المعلومات الشخصية أو مشاركتها مع أطراف ثالثة من قبلنا لاستخدام بياناتك على النحو الآنف الذكر، بما في ذلك الإعلانات المستندة إلى السلوكيات والأنشطة، ينبغي:

عندما نشارك معلوماتك الشخصية مع شركائنا، والشركات التابعة لشركة ويسترن ديجيتال، ومقدمي الخدمات، فقد يتم نقل معلوماتك الشخصية و/أو جعلها متاحة من دول خارج المنطقة الاقتصادية الأوروبية أو جمهورية الصين الشعبية. في مثل هذه الظروف، سندخل في بنود تعاقدية نموذجية على النحو الذي اعتمدته المفوضية الأوروبية أو إدارة الفضاء الإلكتروني في الصين، حسب الاقتضاء، أو نعتمد على أسس قانونية بديلة، ونطبق تدابير إلزامية للعمل وفقًا للقوانين المعمول بها (على سبيل المثال، إنشاء عملية للإفصاح عن المعلومات الإضافية المطلوبة لك عند نقل معلوماتك الشخصية خارج جمهورية الصين الشعبية). بالنسبة إلى بعض خدماتنا، قد يتم نقل معلوماتك الشخصية، و / أو تخزينها، ومعالجتها على خوادم موجودة في الولايات المتحدة، أو في مواقع أخرى خارج البلد الذي تقيم فيه بغرض تقديم الخدمات لك.

قد نقوم بإدخال تغييرات دورية على بيان الخصوصية لمواكبة التقنيات الحديثة وأحدث مستجدات الممارسات الصناعية والمتطلبات التنظيمية، ولغيرها من الأسباب. ونحن نتوقع أن أغلب هذه التغييرات سوف تكون تغييرات طفيفة. تسري أي تغييرات غير مادية فور نشر بيان الخصوصية المحدث، وسوف نشير إلى تاريخ آخر تعديل في الجزء العلوي من هذه الوثيقة. وعلى الرغم من ذلك، في بعض الحالات تكون فيها التعديلات المدخلة على بيان الخصوصية أشد أهمية. وفي هذه الحالات، سوف نقدم إليك إشعارًا هامًا بهذه التغييرات على موقع الويب الخاص بنا أو سوف نرسل لك مباشرة إخطارًا بها. 

يعني استمرارك في استخدام منتجاتنا وخدماتنا بعد تاريخ سريان بيان الخصوصية أنك قبلت الإشعار المحدث لبيان الخصوصية. إذا كنت غير موافق على بيان الخصوصية، فيرجى الامتناع عن استخدام منتجاتنا أو خدماتنا والاتصال بنا لإغلاق أي حساب قد أنشأته.

إذا كانت لديك أي أسئلة بخصوص بيان الخصوصية هذا أو تنفيذه، فيمكنك إرسال بريد إلكتروني إلى مسؤول حماية البيانات (DPO) لدينا على البريد الإلكتروني DPO@wdc.com. يمكنك أيضًا التواصل معنا عبر نموذج الويب الخاص بنا أو مراسلتنا على الموقع الأقرب إليك عبر توجيه البريد إلى: لعناية: القسم القانوني - سؤال عن بيان الخصوصية.

Conformidade Legal e Segurança

Pode ser necessário — por lei ou como resultado de um processo legal, litígio ou solicitações de autoridades públicas ou governamentais dentro ou fora do seu país de residência — que revelemos informações pessoais. Também podemos divulgar informações pessoais se determinarmos que, para fins de segurança nacional, aplicação da lei ou outras questões de importância pública, a divulgação é necessária ou apropriada.  Também podemos divulgar informações pessoais se determinarmos de boa-fé que a divulgação é razoavelmente necessária para proteger nossos direitos e buscar as soluções disponíveis, fazer cumprir nossos termos e condições, investigar fraudes ou proteger nossas operações ou usuários.

Tomamos medidas razoáveis para garantir que suas informações pessoais sejam precisas, completas e atualizadas. Dependendo de onde você mora, pode desfrutar dos direitos descritos abaixo.

Você pode preencher nosso formulário da web para exercer seus direitos. Responderemos à sua solicitação no prazo exigido pela lei aplicável (e, em geral, dentro de 30 dias).

Como exigido por lei e para proteger a privacidade e a segurança de suas informações pessoais, podemos solicitar suas informações para que possamos confirmar sua identidade e o direito de acessar tais informações, bem como para pesquisar e fornecer a você as informações pessoais que mantemos. Há casos em que as leis aplicáveis ou os requisitos regulamentares permitem ou exigem que neguemos uma solicitação.

Se você for residente da Califórnia ou de outro estado ou jurisdição que conceda esse direito, para recusar a venda ou o compartilhamento de suas informações pessoais por nós com terceiros para os usos de seus dados descritos acima, incluindo publicidade comportamental em contexto cruzado:

• envie uma solicitação por meio do formulário Não Vender ou Compartilhar Minhas Informações Pessoais disponível aqui, especificando que deseja optar por não vender (ações como compartilhar suas informações com nossos parceiros para fins de correspondência de público por outros meios que não cookies ou tecnologias de rastreamento da web mencionadas no item (2) abaixo); e 
• clique em Preferências de Cookies no rodapé abaixo e alterne as opções para “Não” para as opções de Cookies de “Desempenho e Funcionalidade” e “Publicidade”, e clique em “Enviar preferências”. Isso desativará os cookies de desempenho, funcionalidade e publicidade, bem como as tecnologias de rastreamento da web em nosso site, incluindo aqueles usados para fins de correspondência entre público-alvo e anúncios personalizados. A desativação desses cookies e tecnologias de rastreamento da web pode se aplicar apenas ao navegador específico que você usa para clicar no link e suas preferências podem ser redefinidas se você alterar suas configurações.

Agente autorizado: Você pode autorizar um agente a enviar uma solicitação em seu nome, desde que forneça ao agente autorizado uma permissão por escrito para uma solicitação em seu nome e, além disso, o seu agente autorizado também possa comprovar a identidade dele conosco.  Se você é residente na Califórnia e deseja designar um agente para fins de solicitação, seu agente deve se registrar como tal na Secretaria de Estado da Califórnia e enviar uma cópia desse registro junto com sua solicitação de consumidor verificado. Solicite ao seu agente autorizado que siga as instruções acima para fazer uma solicitação; além disso, envie via correio sua declaração por escrito autorizando o agente a agir em seu nome, desde que certificada por um tabelião, para o endereço: Legal Department, 5601 Great Oaks Parkway, San Jose, California 95119 USA. Se seu agente autorizado tiver uma procuração, poderá não ser necessário realizar essas etapas.

Você também pode entrar em contato conosco pelo telefone 888-914-9661 (PIN: 228663) para exercer seus direitos aplicáveis e pode registrar uma reclamação junto à autoridade de proteção de dados competente em relação ao processamento de suas informações pessoais. Você também pode se opor a ou restringir o processamento adicional de suas informações pessoais e apelar a quaisquer decisões que envolvam o exercício de seus direitos aplicáveis. Não discriminaremos você pelo exercício de seus direitos aplicáveis.

Se você solicitar a exclusão de seus dados, isso removerá sua capacidade de acessar qualquer conta da Western Digital. Não temos obrigação de reter suas informações e podemos excluir qualquer uma ou todas as suas informações sem incorrer em qualquer responsabilidade. Podemos reter, no entanto, informações relacionadas a você se acreditarmos que podem ser necessárias para evitar fraude ou abuso futuro, se exigido por lei, ou para fins legítimos, como análise de informações não pessoais, recuperação de conta, manutenção da funcionalidade ou segurança de nossos sistemas, auditoria de nossos registros ou aplicação de nossos direitos e obrigações de acordo com nossos contratos.

Nossos produtos e serviços, incluindo nossos sites e propriedades de mídia digital, podem conter links ou a capacidade de você acessar sites, produtos e serviços de terceiros. Não somos responsáveis pelas práticas de privacidade empregadas por terceiros, nem pelas informações ou conteúdo dos produtos e serviços deles. Esta Declaração de Privacidade aplica-se exclusivamente às informações que nós mesmos coletamos. Nós o incentivamos a ler as políticas de privacidade de terceiros antes de continuar a usar os sites, produtos ou serviços deles.

É importante que você tome precauções para impedir o acesso não autorizado a seus produtos, credenciais de conta e computadores ou outros dispositivos da Western Digital. Se perceber que a segurança da sua conta ou das informações pessoais foi comprometida, entre em contato conosco imediatamente. Esteja ciente de que, apesar de nossos esforços para manter medidas de segurança físicas, eletrônicas e processuais razoáveis e apropriadas, nenhum sistema de segurança é impenetrável. No caso de uma violação de segurança, iremos notificá-lo prontamente, juntamente com as devidas autoridades, quando exigido por lei.

Armazenaremos suas informações pessoais de acordo com a lei de proteção de dados aplicável, reteremos essas informações de acordo com nossa política de retenção de dados pelo tempo necessário para cumprir os objetivos descritos nesta Declaração de Privacidade, e excluir essas informações de acordo com nossa política de exclusão, a menos que um período de retenção mais longo seja exigido ou permitido por lei, as informações confidenciais devem ser usadas para a transação específica na qual elas foram destinadas e apenas retidas por nós pelo período necessário para concluir a transação ou conforme permitido pelo usuário.

Não coletamos, usamos ou divulgamos intencionalmente informações de crianças menores de 16 anos. Se soubermos que coletamos informações pessoais de uma criança menor de 16 anos, ou em idade mínima equivalente, dependendo da jurisdição, como 13 nos Estados Unidos ou 14 na República Popular da China (o que, para os fins desta Declaração de Privacidade, exclui Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR e a região de Taiwan), tomaremos medidas para excluir as informações o mais rápido possível. Entre em contato conosco imediatamente se souber que uma criança com menos de 16 anos nos forneceu informações pessoais.

Se você reside na Califórnia, tem menos de 18 anos e é um usuário registrado de nossos produtos ou serviços, a lei da Califórnia permite que você solicite e obtenha a remoção de conteúdo ou informações que tenha postado publicamente. Para fazer essa solicitação, entre em contato conosco com informações específicas sobre onde o conteúdo ou as informações foram postados e atestando que você os postou. Faremos então esforços razoáveis e de boa-fé para remover a postagem da exibição pública em potencial ou anonimizá-la para que você não possa ser identificado individualmente, nos limites exigidos pela lei aplicável. Esteja ciente de que tal solicitação não garante a remoção completa ou abrangente do conteúdo ou das informações que você postou e que pode haver circunstâncias em que a lei não exija ou permita a remoção, mesmo que seja solicitada.

Quando compartilhamos suas informações pessoais com nossos parceiros, empresas afiliadas da Western Digital e prestadores de serviços, elas podem ser transferidas para, e/ou disponibilizadas de países fora do Espaço Econômico Europeu ou da República Popular da China. Nessas circunstâncias, utilizaremos cláusulas contratuais modelo conforme adotadas pela Comissão Europeia ou pela Administração do Ciberespaço da China, conforme aplicável, ou contaremos com bases jurídicas alternativas e implementaremos medidas obrigatórias para agir de acordo com as leis aplicáveis (por exemplo, criando um processo para divulgar informações adicionais necessárias para você ao transferir suas informações pessoais para fora da República Popular da China). Para alguns de nossos serviços, suas informações pessoais podem ser transferidas e/ou armazenadas e processadas em servidores localizados nos Estados Unidos ou em outros locais fora do país onde você reside, com o objetivo de prestar os serviços a você.

Podemos periodicamente alterar esta Declaração de Privacidade para acompanharmos o ritmo das novas tecnologias, práticas do setor e requisitos regulatórios, entre outras razões. Esperamos que a maioria dessas mudanças seja pequena. Quaisquer mudanças não significativas terão efeito imediato no lançamento de uma Declaração de Privacidade atualizada, sendo que indicaremos a data da última modificação na parte superior deste documento. Pode haver, contudo, casos em que as alterações nesta Declaração de Privacidade podem ser mais significativas. Nesses casos, publicaremos em destaque um aviso sobre essas mudanças em nosso site ou enviaremos uma notificação diretamente a você. 

O uso contínuo dos nossos produtos e serviços após a data de vigência da Declaração de Privacidade significa que você aceita a Declaração de Privacidade revisada. Se não concordar com a Declaração de Privacidade revisada, evite usar nossos produtos ou serviços e entre em contato conosco para encerrar qualquer conta que tenha sido criada.

Se você tiver alguma dúvida sobre esta Declaração de Privacidade ou sua implementação, envie um e-mail para o nosso Diretor de Proteção de Dados (DPO) em DPO@wdc.com. Você também pode entrar em contato conosco por meio de nosso formulário na Web ou escrever para nós em um local mais próximo de você por correio endereçado a: A/C: Departamento Jurídico – Dúvida sobre a Declaração de Privacidade.

Para clientes na União Europeia, registramos nosso DPO junto à Comissão Irlandesa de Proteção de Dados. Se tiver alguma dúvida ou preocupação sobre nossas práticas de privacidade, encorajamos você a entrar em contato com nosso DPO no endereço de e-mail acima.
