Our legal basis for collecting and using the Personal Data as data controllers will depend on the Personal Data concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. In many cases, we will process Personal Data about you using the following legal basis:

 

International Transfers of Your Personal Data

By using the Services or providing Personal Data to Eaton, your Personal Data is transferred to the United States where Eaton is headquartered. If you are not a resident of the United States, your country’s laws governing data collection and use may differ from those in the United States. For example, the data protection laws of the United States have not been found by the European Commission to provide the same level of protection as EU data protection law. Transfers to countries outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) take place using an acceptable data transfer mechanism, such as the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield, the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, Binding Corporate Rules, approved Codes of Conduct and Certifications, or on the basis of permissible statutory derogations. Please contact dataprotection@eaton.com, if you want to receive further information or, where available, a copy of the relevant data transfer mechanism.

 

EU-U.S. Privacy Shield

Your Personal Data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the country in which you are a resident. These countries may have data protection and privacy laws that are different to the laws of your country. You can find out more about the relevant countries by visiting https://www.eaton.com/us/en-us/company/policies-and-statements/privacy-cookies-and-data-protection.html  or contacting us (see below).

Objection. You have the right to object to the processing of your Personal Data for compelling and legitimate reasons. In addition, you have the right to object at any time if your Personal Data is processed for direct marketing purposes.

 

Portability. You may receive Personal Data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit that data to others.

 

Restriction. You may request to restrict processing of your Personal Data.

 

Erasure. You may request to erase your Personal Data.

 

Right to lodge a complaint. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the EU Member State of your residence.
