• 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.

Ενδέχεται, ωστόσο, να διατηρήσουμε πληροφορίες που σας αφορούν εάν πιστεύουμε ότι μπορεί να είναι απαραίτητες για την αποτροπή απάτης ή μελλοντικής κατάχρησης, εάν απαιτείται βάσει νόμου ή για νόμιμους σκοπούς, κατά περίπτωση, όπως η ανάλυση μη προσωπικών πληροφοριών, η ανάκτηση λογαριασμού, η διατήρηση της λειτουργικότητας ή της ασφάλειας των συστημάτων μας, ο έλεγχος των αρχείων μας ή η επιβολή των δικαιωμάτων και των υποχρεώσεών μας στο πλαίσιο των συμβάσεών μας.

Τα προϊόντα και οι υπηρεσίες μας, συμπεριλαμβανομένων των ιστοτόπων μας και των ιδιόκτητων ψηφιακών μέσων, ενδέχεται να περιέχουν συνδέσμους προς ή να σας παρέχουν τη δυνατότητα πρόσβασης σε ιστότοπους, προϊόντα και υπηρεσίες τρίτων.

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.

Ενδέχεται κατά περιόδους να τροποποιούμε την παρούσα Δήλωση Ιδιωτικού Απορρήτου, μεταξύ άλλων για να συμβαδίζουμε με τις νέες τεχνολογίες, τις πρακτικές του κλάδου και τις κανονιστικές απαιτήσεις. 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. 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.

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.

Persoonsgegevens omvatten geen gegevens die onomkeerbaar geanonimiseerd of samengevoegd zijn zodat zij ons niet langer in staat stellen, in combinatie met andere gegevens of anderszins, om u te identificeren. Voor zover wij geanonimiseerde gegevens verwerken, bewaren en gebruiken wij de gegevens in geanonimiseerde vorm.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

• إرسال طلب من خلال نموذج "عدم بيع معلوماتي الشخصية أو مشاركتها" المتاح هنا، مع تحديد رغبتك في إلغاء الاشتراك في المبيعات (مثل مشاركة معلوماتك مع شركائنا لأغراض مطابقة أنواع الجمهور المستهدف عبر وسائل أخرى غير ملفات تعريف الارتباط أو تقنيات تتبع الويب المشار إليها في الفقرة (2) أدناه)؛

قد تحتوي منتجاتنا وخدماتنا، بما فيها مواقع الويب الخاصة بنا وخصائص الوسائط الرقمية الخاصة بنا، على روابط أو إمكانية الوصول إلى مواقع الويب والمنتجات والخدمات الخاصة بطرف ثالث. نحن لسنا مسؤولين عن ممارسات الخصوصية التي تستخدمها تلك الأطراف الثالثة، ولا نتحمل نحن المسؤولية عن المعلومات أو المحتوى الذي تحتويه منتجاتهم وخدماتهم. ينطبق بيان الخصوصية هذا فقط على المعلومات التي نجمعها. نشجعك على قراءة سياسات الخصوصية الخاصة بأي طرف ثالث قبل الشروع في استخدام مواقع الويب الخاصة بهم أو منتجاتهم أو خدماتهم.

ومن الأهمية بمكان أن تقوم أنت باتخاذ احتياطات للوقاية من الوصول غير المصرح به إلى منتجات ويسترن ديجيتال الخاصة بك، وبيانات اعتماد حسابك، وأجهزة الحاسب الخاصة بك أو غيرها من الأجهزة. إذا شعرت بأن أمن حسابك أو بياناتك الشخصية تعرض للاختراق، فيرجى أن تبادر على الفور إلى الاتصال بنا. تجدر الإشارة إلى أنه، على الرغم من الجهود التي نبذلها للحفاظ على تدابير أمنية فعلية وإلكترونية وإجرائية معقولة ومناسبة، لا يُعدّ أي نظام أمني غير قابل للاختراق. في حالة حدوث خرق أمني، سنقوم بإبلاغك أنت والسلطات المختصة على الفور إذا لزم الأمر بموجب القانون.

لا نجمع أو نستخدم أو نفصح عن قصد عن معلومات متعلقة أطفال تقل أعمارهم عن 16 عامًا. إذا علمنا أننا قد جمعنا المعلومات الشخصية لطفل دون سن 16، أو الحد الأدنى المعادل للسن وفقًا للولاية القضائية، مثل سن 13 في الولايات المتحدة أو سن 14 في جمهورية الصين الشعبية (التي، لأغراض تتعلق ببيان الخصوصية هذا، تستثني منطقة هونغ كونغ الإدارية الخاصة، وماكاو، ومنطقة تايوان)، سنتخذ خطوات لحذف المعلومات في أقرب وقت ممكن. يرجى الاتصال بنا على الفور إذا علمت أن طفلاً دون عمر 16 عامًا قد زودنا بمعلومات شخصية.

إذا كنت مقيمًا في كاليفورنيا وكان عمرك أقل من 18 عامًا، وكنت مستخدمًا مسجلاً لمنتجاتنا أو خدماتنا، فإن قانون كاليفورنيا يسمح لك بطلب إزالة المحتوى أو المعلومات التي نشرتها علنًا والحصول عليها. لتقديم مثل هذا الطلب، يرجى الاتصال بنا مع تزويدنا بمعلومات محددة حول مكان نشر المحتوى أو المعلومات وإثبات أنك قمت بنشرها. وسوف نبذل حينئذ الجهود المعقولة وبحسن نية لإزالة هذا المنشور من العرض العام المحتمل، أو سنقوم بإخفاء هويتك بحيث لا يمكن تحديد هويتك بشكل فردي، إلى الحد الذي يقتضيه القانون المعمول به. يرجى العلم بأن هذا الطلب لا يضمن الإزالة الكاملة أو الشاملة للمحتوى أو المعلومات التي نشرتها وأنه قد توجد ظروف لا يتطلب فيها القانون إزالة المحتوى أو يسمح به حتى إذا طُلب ذلك.

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.

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

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.

Es posible que nuestros productos y servicios, incluidos nuestros sitios web y las propiedades de los medios digitales, contengan enlaces o le den la posibilidad de acceder a los sitios web, productos y servicios de terceros.

Si considera que la seguridad de su cuenta o su información personal se ha visto comprometida, póngase en contacto con nosotros inmediatamente. Tenga en cuenta que, a pesar de nuestros esfuerzos por mantener medidas de seguridad físicas, electrónicas y de procedimiento razonables y adecuadas, ningún sistema de seguridad es impenetrable. Ante una infracción de seguridad, le notificaremos de manera oportuna a usted y a las autoridades si así lo requiere la ley.

Almacenaremos su información personal de acuerdo con la ley de protección de datos aplicable, conservaremos dicha información de acuerdo con nuestra política de retención de datos durante el tiempo que sea necesario para cumplir los fines descritos en esta Declaración de Privacidad, y eliminaremos tal información de acuerdo con nuestra política de eliminación, a menos que la ley exija o permita un periodo de retención más largo. La información confidencial se utilizará en la transacción específica para la que fue destinada y solo la conservaremos durante el periodo de tiempo necesario para completar la transacción o según lo permita el usuario.

No recopilamos, utilizamos ni divulgamos información de niños menores de 16 años de edad de manera intencional. Si tenemos conocimiento de que hemos recopilado información personal de una persona menor de 16 años –o la edad mínima equivalente según la jurisdicción, por ejemplo, 13 años en Estados Unidos o 14 en la República Popular China (que, a efectos de esta Declaración de Privacidad, excluye la RAE de Hong Kong, la RAE de Macao y la región de Taiwán)– tomaremos medidas para eliminar la información lo antes posible. Póngase en contacto con nosotros de inmediato si tiene conocimiento de que una persona menor de 16 años nos ha proporcionado información personal.

Si es un residente de California menor de 18 años y es un usuario registrado de nuestros productos o servicios, las leyes de California le permiten solicitar y obtener la eliminación del contenido o de la información que haya dado a conocer públicamente. Para presentar dicha solicitud, póngase en contacto con nosotros con información específica que indique dónde se publicó el contenido o la información y dé fe de que usted la publicó. Haremos esfuerzos razonables y de buena fe para eliminar la publicación de la posible vista pública o anonimizarla para que no pueda ser identificado de manera individual, en la medida en que lo exijan las leyes aplicables. Tenga en cuenta que dicha solicitud no garantiza la eliminación completa o exhaustiva del contenido o la información que ha publicado y que puede haber circunstancias en las que la ley no exija o permita la eliminación, incluso si se solicita.

Cuando compartimos su información personal con nuestros socios, empresas afiliadas a Western Digital y proveedores de servicios, su información personal puede ser transferida a países fuera del Espacio Económico Europeo o la República Popular China, o hacerse accesible desde estas regiones. En tales circunstancias, suscribiremos cláusulas contractuales modelo adoptadas por la Comisión Europea o la Administración del Ciberespacio de China, según corresponda, o nos basaremos en bases legales alternativas, y aplicaremos medidas obligatorias para actuar de acuerdo con las leyes aplicables (por ejemplo, creando un proceso para revelarle la información adicional requerida al transferir su información personal fuera de la República Popular China). Para algunos de nuestros servicios, su información personal puede transferirse a servidores localizados en los Estados Unidos o en otras ubicaciones fuera del país en el que usted reside, o almacenarse y procesarse en tales servidores, con el objetivo de proporcionarle servicios.

Podemos cambiar periódicamente esta Declaración de Privacidad para mantenernos al día con las nuevas tecnologías, las prácticas del sector y los requisitos normativos, entre otras razones. Esperamos que tales cambios sean menores. Los cambios no sustanciales entrarán en vigor inmediatamente después de la publicación de la versión actualizada de la Declaración de Privacidad e indicaremos la fecha de última modificación en la parte superior de este documento.

Dans certains cas, le droit applicable ou les exigences réglementaires nous autorisent ou nous obligent à refuser une demande.

Si vous résidez en Californie ou dans un autre État ou une autre juridiction qui accorde ce droit, pour refuser la vente ou le partage de vos informations personnelles à des tiers pour les utilisations de vos données décrites ci-dessus, y compris la publicité comportementale intercontexte :

• transmettez une demande à l’aide du formulaire NE PAS VENDRE OU PARTAGER MES INFORMATIONS PERSONNELLES accessible ici, en précisant que vous souhaitez refuser les ventes (comme la communication de vos informations à nos partenaires à des fins de correspondance d’audience à l’aide de moyens autres que les cookies ou les technologies de suivi Web référencés à l’alinéa 2) ci-après) ; et

Mandataire habilité : Vous pouvez habiliter un mandataire à transmettre une demande en votre nom, sous réserve de remettre à celui-ci une autorisation écrite signée par vous l’autorisant à faire une demande en votre nom ; en outre, votre mandataire habilité doit être en mesure de faire contrôler son identité par nous.  Si vous êtes résident de la Californie et que vous souhaitez désigner un mandataire aux fins de faire une demande, celui-ci doit s’inscrire en tant que tel auprès du secrétaire d’État de la Californie et transmettre une copie de cet enregistrement avec votre demande de consommateur vérifiée. Veuillez demander à votre mandataire habilité de suivre les instructions précitées pour faire une demande ; veuillez également nous transmettre une déclaration écrite certifiée par un notaire autorisant ledit mandataire à agir en votre nom à l’adresse : Legal Department, 5601 Great Oaks Parkway, San Jose, Californie 95119 États-Unis. Si votre mandataire habilité dispose d’une procuration, il ne sera peut-être pas nécessaire d’effectuer ces démarches.

Vous pouvez également nous contacter par téléphone au 888-914-9661 (PIN : 228663) pour exercer vos droits applicables, et vous pouvez déposer une plainte auprès de l’autorité de protection des données compétente en ce qui concerne le traitement de vos informations personnelles. Vous pouvez également vous opposer au traitement ultérieur de vos informations personnelles, ou le restreindre, et faire appel de toute décision impliquant l’exercice de vos droits applicables. Nous ne ferons pas de discrimination à votre encontre pour l’exercice de vos droits applicables.

Si vous demandez la suppression de vos données, vous ne pourrez plus accéder à aucun compte Western Digital. Nous n’avons aucune obligation de conserver vos informations ; nous pouvons les supprimer, en tout ou en partie, sans engager notre responsabilité. Cependant, nous pouvons conserver les informations qui vous concernent si nous les jugeons nécessaires à la prévention de fraudes ou d’abus ultérieurs, si la loi l’exige ou encore à des fins légitimes, le cas échéant, telles que l’analyse des informations non personnelles, la récupération de compte, la gestion du fonctionnement ou de la sécurité de nos systèmes, l’audit de nos dossiers ou l’exécution de nos droits et obligations en vertu de nos contrats.

Nos produits et services, y compris nos sites Web et contenus numériques médiatiques, peuvent comporter des liens ou des moyens pour accéder à des sites Web, produits et services tiers. Nous ne sommes pas responsables des pratiques de respect de la vie privée mises en œuvre par ces tiers, ni des informations ou du contenu de leurs produits et services. La présente Déclaration de confidentialité s’applique uniquement aux informations que nous collectons. Nous vous encourageons à lire les politiques de confidentialité de tous les tiers avant de recourir à leurs sites Web, produits ou services.

Il est important de prendre des précautions pour vous protéger contre les accès non autorisés à vos produits Western Digital, à vos identifiants de compte, et à vos ordinateurs et autres appareils. Si vous estimez que la sécurité de votre compte ou de vos informations personnelles a été compromise, veuillez immédiatement nous contacter. Veuillez noter que, malgré nos efforts pour maintenir des mesures de sécurité physiques, électroniques et procédurales raisonnables et appropriées, aucun système de sécurité n’est impénétrable. En cas d’infraction à la sécurité, nous vous informerons rapidement ainsi que les autorités concernées si la loi l’exige.

Nous stockerons vos informations personnelles conformément à la législation applicable en matière de protection des données, conserverons ces informations conformément à notre politique de conservation des données aussi longtemps que nécessaire pour atteindre les finalités décrites dans la présente Déclaration de confidentialité, et supprimerons ces informations conformément à notre politique de suppression, à moins qu’une période de conservation plus longue ne soit requise ou autorisée par la loi. Les informations sensibles seront utilisées pour la transaction spécifique à laquelle elles étaient destinées et ne seront conservées par nous que pendant la durée nécessaire à la réalisation de la transaction ou dans les limites autorisées par l’utilisateur.

Nous ne collectons pas, n’utilisons pas et ne divulguons pas sciemment des informations d’enfants de moins de 16 ans. Si nous apprenons que nous avons collecté les informations personnelles d’un enfant de moins de 16 ans, ou l’âge minimal équivalent en fonction du territoire, par exemple, 13 ans aux États-Unis ou 14 ans en République populaire de Chine (qui exclut, aux fins de la présente Déclaration de confidentialité, la RAS de Hong Kong, la RAS de Macao et la région de Taïwan), nous prendrons des mesures pour supprimer ces informations dès que possible. Veuillez immédiatement nous contacter si vous apprenez qu’un enfant de moins de 16 ans nous a fourni des informations personnelles.

Si vous êtes résident de Californie, âgé de moins de 18 ans, et utilisateur enregistré de nos produits ou services, le droit de la Californie vous autorise à demander et à obtenir la suppression du contenu ou des informations que vous avez publiées publiquement. Pour ce faire, veuillez nous contacter et nous transmettre des renseignements spécifiques sur l’endroit où le contenu ou les informations ont été publiés, en attestant que vous êtes la personne à l’origine de la publication. Ensuite, nous ferons preuve d’une diligence raisonnable en toute bonne foi pour qu’à l’avenir, cette publication ne puisse plus être publique ou pour la rendre anonyme, afin que vous ne puissiez plus être identifié individuellement, dans la mesure exigée par le droit applicable. Veuillez noter que cette demande ne garantit pas la suppression complète ou exhaustive du contenu ou des informations que vous avez publiés, et qu’il existe certains cas où la loi n’exige pas ni ne permet la suppression même lorsqu’elle est demandée.

Lorsque nous communiquons vos informations personnelles à nos partenaires, sociétés affiliées à Western Digital et prestataires de services, vos informations personnelles peuvent être transférées à des pays situés en dehors de l’Espace économique européen ou de la République populaire de Chine et/ou rendues accessibles depuis ceux-ci. Dans de telles circonstances, nous conclurons des clauses contractuelles types telles qu’adoptées par la Commission européenne ou par l’Administration du cyberespace de Chine, le cas échéant, ou nous nous fonderons sur d’autres bases juridiques, et nous appliquerons les mesures obligatoires pour agir dans le respect de la législation applicable (par exemple, la création d’un processus visant à vous divulguer les informations supplémentaires nécessaires lors du transfert de vos informations personnelles hors de la République populaire de Chine). Pour certains de nos services, vos informations personnelles peuvent être transférées à des serveurs situés aux États-Unis ou dans d’autres lieux à l’extérieur du pays où vous résidez, et/ou y être stockées et traitées aux fins de vous fournir les services.

Nous pouvons apporter régulièrement des modifications à la présente Déclaration de confidentialité pour nous adapter à de nouvelles technologies, des pratiques du secteur et des exigences réglementaires, entre autres. Nous estimons que la plupart de ces modifications seront mineures.

También puede oponerse o restringir el procesamiento adicional de su información personal, y apelar cualquier decisión que involucre el ejercicio de sus derechos aplicables. No lo discriminaremos por el ejercicio de sus derechos aplicables.

Si solicita la eliminación de sus datos, esto suprimirá su capacidad para acceder a cualquier cuenta de Western Digital. No tenemos la obligación de conservar su información y es posible que eliminemos toda su información o parte de ella sin ninguna responsabilidad. Sin embargo, podemos conservar la información relacionada con usted si creemos que puede ser necesaria para prevenir el fraude o futuros abusos, si así lo exige la ley o para fines legítimos, cuando corresponda, como el análisis de la información no personal, la recuperación de cuentas, el mantenimiento de la funcionalidad o la seguridad de nuestros sistemas, la auditoría de nuestros registros o el cumplimiento de nuestros derechos y obligaciones en virtud de nuestros acuerdos.

Es posible que nuestros productos y servicios, incluidos nuestros sitios web y las propiedades de los medios digitales, contengan enlaces o le den la posibilidad de acceder a los sitios web, productos y servicios de terceros. No somos responsables de las prácticas de privacidad que emplean esos terceros, ni somos responsables de la información o contenido que incluyan sus productos y servicios. Esta Declaración de privacidad se aplica únicamente a la información que recogemos. Le recomendamos leer las políticas de privacidad de terceros antes de proceder a utilizar sus sitios web, productos o servicios.

Es importante que tome precauciones para protegerse contra el acceso no autorizado a sus productos, credenciales de cuenta y computadoras u otros dispositivos de Western Digital. Si considera que la seguridad de su cuenta o su información personal se ha visto comprometida, comuníquese con nosotros inmediatamente. Tenga en cuenta que, a pesar de nuestros esfuerzos por mantener medidas razonables y adecuadas de seguridad físicas, electrónicas y procedimentales, no existe ningún sistema de seguridad que sea impenetrable. En el caso de una infracción de seguridad, le notificaremos de inmediato a usted y a las autoridades correspondientes si lo exige la ley.

Almacenaremos su información personal de acuerdo con la ley de protección de datos aplicable, conservaremos dicha información de acuerdo con nuestra política de retención de datos durante el tiempo que sea necesario para cumplir con los fines descritos en esta Declaración de privacidad y eliminaremos tal información de acuerdo con nuestra política de eliminación, a menos que la ley exija o permita un período de retención más prolongado. La información confidencial se utilizará para la transacción específica a la que estaba destinada y solo la conservamos durante el período necesario para completar la transacción o según lo permita el usuario.

No recogemos, utilizamos ni divulgamos información de niños menores de 16 años de edad de manera intencional. Si entramos en conocimiento de que recogimos información personal de un niño menor de 16 años —o la edad mínima equivalente según la jurisdicción, como 13 años en Estados Unidos o 14 años en la República Popular China (que, a efectos de esta Declaración de privacidad, excluye la RAE de Hong Kong, la RAE de Macao y la región de Taiwán)—, tomaremos medidas para eliminar la información lo antes posible. Comuníquese con nosotros de inmediato si se da cuenta de que una persona menor de 16 años de edad nos ha proporcionado información personal.

Si es un residente de California menor de 18 años y es un usuario registrado de nuestros productos o servicios, las leyes de California le permiten solicitar y obtener la eliminación del contenido o de la información que haya dado a conocer públicamente. Para presentar dicha solicitud comuníquese con nosotros con información específica que indique dónde se publicó el contenido o la información y dé fe de que usted la publicó. Luego haremos esfuerzos razonables y de buena fe para eliminar la publicación de la posible vista pública o anonimizarla para que no pueda ser identificado de manera individual, en la medida en que lo exijan las leyes aplicables. Tenga en cuenta que dicha solicitud no garantiza la eliminación completa o exhaustiva del contenido o la información que ha publicado y que puede haber circunstancias en las que la ley no exija o permita la eliminación, incluso si se solicita.

Cuando compartimos su información personal con nuestros socios, empresas afiliadas a Western Digital y proveedores de servicios, su información personal podría transferirse o hacerse accesible desde países fuera del Espacio Económico Europeo o la República Popular China. En tales circunstancias, suscribiremos cláusulas contractuales modelo adoptadas por la Comisión Europea o la Administración del Ciberespacio de China, según corresponda, o nos basaremos en bases legales alternativas, y aplicaremos medidas obligatorias para actuar de acuerdo con las leyes aplicables (por ejemplo, creando un proceso para revelarle la información adicional requerida al transferir su información personal fuera de la República Popular China). Para algunos de nuestros servicios, su información personal puede transferirse a servidores localizados, o almacenarse y procesarse en ellos, en los Estados Unidos o en otras ubicaciones fuera del país en el que usted reside con el objetivo de proporcionarle servicios.

Podemos modificar periódicamente esta Declaración de privacidad para mantenernos al día con las nuevas tecnologías, las prácticas de la industria y los requisitos regulatorios, entre otras razones. Esperamos que tales cambios sean menores. Toda modificación no sustancial entrará en vigor inmediatamente después de la publicación de una Declaración de privacidad actualizada e indicaremos la fecha de la última modificación en la parte superior de este documento. Sin embargo, puede haber casos en los que los cambios a esta Declaración de privacidad puedan ser más significativos. En tales casos, le proporcionaremos un aviso destacado de esos cambios en nuestro sitio web o le enviaremos una notificación directa. 

El uso continuado de nuestros productos y servicios luego de la fecha de entrada en vigor de la Declaración de privacidad significa que acepta la Declaración de privacidad revisada. Si no está de acuerdo con la Declaración de privacidad revisada, absténgase de usar nuestros productos y servicios y comuníquese con nosotros para cerrar toda cuenta que pueda haber creado.

Si tiene preguntas acerca de esta Declaración de privacidad o de su implementación, puede enviar un correo electrónico a nuestro responsable de protección de datos (DPO) a DPO@wdc.com. También puede comunicarse con nosotros a través de nuestro formulario web o escribirnos a una ubicación cercana a usted por correo postal, dirigida a: A LA ATENCIÓN DE: Departamento Legal: pregunta sobre la Declaración de privacidad.

Informazioni sui pagamenti: Possiamo raccogliere i dati personali collegati all'acquisto da parte di un utente. 
• Informazioni sull'uso dei nostri prodotti e servizi: Quando l'utente utilizza i nostri prodotti e servizi, compresi i nostri siti web e le nostre applicazioni per web, dispositivi mobili e desktop, o visualizza le nostre e-mail o i nostri annunci pubblicitari, possiamo raccogliere informazioni da computer, telefoni o altri dispositivi sui quali l'utente installa o accede ai nostri prodotti o servizi. Alcune di queste informazioni potrebbero essere acquisite automaticamente. Si prega di leggere la nostra Normativa in materia di cookie per maggiori informazioni su come utilizziamo le tecnologie di tracciamento web e sulle possibilità di cui può avvalersi l'utente.
• Informazioni da parti terze: Raccogliamo informazioni da parti terze, inclusi partner aziendali o agenzie di marketing e fornitori di servizi. Tali informazioni possono includere le informazioni di contatto dell'utente provenienti dai partner di marketing con cui intraprendiamo attività di marketing congiunto o di co-branding, indirizzo IP o informazioni sulla posizione provenienti dai fornitori di servizi che offrono determinati prodotti e servizi rilevanti per l'area geografica dell'utente e dati provenienti dai social media per autenticare l'utilizzo dei prodotti o autorizzare l'accesso a prodotti e servizi.
• Informazioni provenienti da fonti pubbliche: Possiamo raccogliere informazioni da fonti e documenti governativi e altre informazioni accessibili al pubblico.

Come vengono utilizzati i dati personali dell'utente

Possiamo utilizzare i dati personali per gli scopi previsti nella presente Normativa sulla privacy. In linea generale, utilizziamo i dati personali per fornire, migliorare, sviluppare e personalizzare l'esperienza dell'utente relativamente ai nostri prodotti e servizi, per comunicare con l'utente, per offrirgli messaggi pubblicitari e servizi mirati, e per proteggere noi e l'utente stesso. Possiamo farlo con il consenso dell'utente, per ottemperare a un obbligo di legge, per applicare un contratto con l'utente o per perseguire i nostri legittimi interessi nella misura consentita dalla legislazione applicabile. In qualità di data controller, Western Digital Technologies, Inc. raccoglie, tratta e determina come trattare i dati personali dell'utente per i seguenti scopi:

• Fornitura, miglioramento, sviluppo e personalizzazione dell'esperienza utente relativamente ai nostri prodotti e servizi: Possiamo utilizzare i dati personali per poter fornire, migliorare, sviluppare e personalizzare la user experience relativamente ai nostri prodotti e servizi. Ciò include l'utilizzo di dati personali a fini interni quali analisi dei dati, ricerche e verifiche. Tale eventuale trattamento si basa sul consenso dell’utente o sul nostro legittimo interesse a offrire prodotti e servizi all'utente e a garantire la continuità aziendale. Qualora l'utente partecipi a un gioco a premi, a un concorso o ad altre promozioni, possiamo usare i dati personali che questi ci ha fornito a scopo amministrativo. Alcune di queste attività hanno regole supplementari che possono contenere ulteriori informazioni sul modo in cui vengono utilizzati i dati personali. Invitiamo pertanto l'utente a leggere tali norme attentamente prima di partecipare all'attività.
• Comunicazioni con l'utente: Possiamo utilizzare i dati personali per rispondere alle richieste dell'utente e comunicare avvisi importanti, comprese comunicazioni relative ad account, prodotti, servizi, transazioni o modifiche alle nostre normative e condizioni. Tale trattamento è necessario per l’esecuzione del contratto oppure è basato sul nostro legittimo interesse a interagire con l’utente per fornirgli i nostri prodotti e servizi. Possiamo utilizzare i dati personali anche per inviare comunicazioni all'utente relative alle sue candidature per un posto di lavoro. Le nostre comunicazioni in materia di privacy ai candidati e ai dipendenti forniscono ulteriori informazioni sui dati personali che raccogliamo e su come li utilizziamo in relazione alle candidature dell'utente. Previo esplicito consenso dell'utente, possiamo utilizzare i suoi dati personali per inviargli comunicazioni di marketing relative a prodotti e servizi propri di Western Digital e possiamo altresì condividere i suoi dati personali con partner terzi che potranno inviargli comunicazioni in relazione ai propri prodotti e servizi. Qualora l'utente non desideri più ricevere comunicazioni via e-mail a scopi di marketing, può richiedere il recesso mediante i Contatti. Possiamo utilizzare le informazioni dell'utente per processare e rispondere alle sue richieste di contatto.
• Offerta e valutazione di annunci e servizi personalizzati: Utilizziamo i dati personali per inviare all'utente annunci pubblicitari personalizzati, anche sui siti web e sulle applicazioni di terze parti e per determinare l'efficacia delle nostre campagne promozionali. Si prega di leggere la nostra Normativa in materia di cookie per maggiori informazioni su come utilizziamo le tecnologie di tracciamento web per inviare annunci pubblicitari personalizzati e sulle possibilità di cui può avvalersi l'utente. Possiamo inoltre utilizzare l'audience matching per raggiungere persone (o soggetti simili a tali persone) che hanno usato i nostri prodotti e servizi o sono identificate in uno o più dei nostri database. Realizziamo ciò fornendo una lista di indirizzi e-mail crittografati a un partner pubblicitario o incorporando un pixel di un partner pubblicitario nei nostri prodotti e servizi, e il partner pubblicitario abbina i fattori comuni tra i nostri dati e i propri dati.
• Promozione della sicurezza: Possiamo utilizzare i dati personali dell'utente per contribuire a verificare account e attività dell'utente, nonché a promuovere la sicurezza, ad esempio controllando tentativi di frode e indagando su attività sospette o potenzialmente illegali o su violazioni delle nostre polizze o condizioni. Tale trattamento è necessario per l’esecuzione del contratto oppure è basato sul nostro legittimo interesse a garantire la sicurezza dei nostri prodotti e servizi.
• Elaborazione dei pagamenti: Il nostro processore di pagamento può utilizzare i dati personali dell'utente, incluse le informazioni commerciali e finanziarie, specificamente per l'elaborazione di pagamenti e costi di transazione collegati a un prodotto o servizio richiesto dall'utente.

Per tutti gli utilizzi dei dati finora descritti, che richiedono il consenso preliminare dell'utente ai sensi delle leggi applicabili, l'utente può revocare il proprio consenso contattando Western Digital tramite il modulo web.

In quanto azienda globale, Western Digital Corporation ha una serie di affiliate in diverse giurisdizioni. Ciascuna di queste affiliate, in qualità di data controller, raccoglie, tratta e determina come trattare i dati personali dell'utente per contribuire a fornire i prodotti e i servizi richiesti dall'utente.

Per legge, procedimento giudiziario, contenzioso o richiesta da parte di autorità pubbliche o governative all'interno o al di fuori del Paese di residenza dell'utente, è possibile che Western Digital debba trasmettere i dati personali dell'utente. Gli stessi dati personali saranno trasmetti qualora dovessimo ritenere che, per finalità di sicurezza nazionale, rispetto della legge o altre questioni di importanza pubblica, sia necessario o opportuno divulgarli.  Possiamo inoltre divulgare i dati personali qualora ritenessimo in buona fede che la divulgazione sia ragionevolmente necessaria per proteggere i nostri diritti e attuare i rimedi disponibili per limitare i danni, applicare i nostri termini e condizioni, accertare eventuali frodi e proteggere le nostre attività o i nostri utenti.

Prendiamo le dovute precauzioni per assicurare che i dati personali dell'utente siano accurati, completi e aggiornati. A seconda del luogo di residenza, l'utente potrebbe beneficiare dei diritti descritti qui sotto.

• Diritto di sapere quali sono i dati personali che raccogliamo, incluse le fonti di provenienza, lo scopo della raccolta e le categorie di destinatari con cui condividiamo i dati personali dell'utente, incluse eventuali parti terze per i propri scopi di marketing
• Diritto di accedere, in un formato standard e strutturato, ai dati personali dell'utente da noi trattati.
• Diritto di eliminare i propri dati personali
• Diritto di opporsi alla cessione o alla condivisione dei dati personali a parti terze.

• Diritto di opporsi a determinati processi decisionali automatizzati
• Diritto di correggere o rettificare eventuali informazioni inesatte che riguardano l'utente

L'utente può compilare il nostro modulo web per esercitare i propri diritti. Risponderemo alla richiesta entro i termini previsti dalla legge applicabile (e in generale entro 30 giorni).

Come richiesto dalla legge e per proteggere la privacy e la sicurezza dei dati personali, possiamo richiedere all'utente altre informazioni che ci permettono di confermarne l'identità e riconoscere il diritto di accedere a tali informazioni, nonché a ricercare e fornire all'utente i dati personali da noi conservati. In alcuni casi, la legge o le normative vigenti ci permettono o ci richiedono di rifiutare una richiesta.

Qualora l'utente risieda in California o in un altro stato o giurisdizione che prevede il diritto di opporsi alla cessione o alla condivisione da parte di Western Digital dei dati personali a parti terze per gli utilizzi descritti in alto, inclusa la pubblicità comportamentale contestuale:

• inviare la richiesta utilizzando il modulo Do Not Sell My Personal Information (Non Cedere I Miei Dati Personali) disponibile qui, specificando l'intenzione di opporsi alla cessione (inclusa la condivisione dei dati personali con i nostri partner per scopi di audience matching mediante sistemi diversi dai cookie o dalle tecnologie di web tracking di cui al paragrafo (2) seguente); e 
• fare clic su Cookie Preferenze a fine pagina e impostare le opzioni dei cookie su "No" sia per "Prestazioni e funzionalità" che per "Pubblicità", quindi fare clic su "Invia preferenze". In questo modo si disattivano i cookie relativi a prestazioni, funzionalità e pubblicità e le tecnologie di tracciamento web sul nostro sito, comprese quelle utilizzate per scopi di audience matching e pubblicità personalizzata. La disattivazione di questi cookie e delle tecnologie di tracciamento web può essere applicata solo al browser specifico dal quale si clicca sul link, e le preferenze possono essere ripristinate se si cambiano le impostazioni.

Agente autorizzato: L'utente può autorizzare un agente a inviare una richiesta per suo conto mediante relativa autorizzazione scritta e firmata e l'agente può consentire a Western Digital di identificare la sua identità.  Qualora l'utente risieda in California e intenda incaricare un agente di inoltrare una richiesta, tale agente dovrà registrarsi come tale presso il California Secretary of State e presentare una copia di tale registrazione unitamente alla richiesta del consumatore verificata. Per presentare la richiesta, l'agente autorizzato dovrà seguire le istruzioni indicate in alto e spedire la dichiarazione scritta che lo autorizza ad agire per suo conto, certificata da un notaio della California, al seguente indirizzo: Legal Department, 5601 Great Oaks Parkway, San Jose, California 95119 USA. Se l'agente autorizzato è dotato di procura, non è necessario eseguire questi passaggi.

L'utente può anche contattarci telefonicamente al numero 888-914-9661 (PIN: 228663) per esercitare i diritti applicabili e presentare ricorso all'autorità garante della protezione dei dati in relazione al trattamento dei propri dati personali. L'utente può inoltre opporsi o limitare il trattamento ulteriore dei propri dati personali e presentare ricorso contro qualsiasi decisione presa riguardo all'esercizio dei diritti applicabili. Western Digital non adotterà comportamenti discriminatori contro l'utente che esercita i propri diritti applicabili.

Se l'utente richiede di eliminare i propri dati, non potrà più accedere agli account Western Digital. Non saremo più tenuti a conservare i suoi dati, che potranno essere cancellati, in parte o per intero, senza alcuna responsabilità. Tuttavia, abbiamo il diritto di conservare le informazioni riguardanti l'utente qualora ritenessimo tale informazioni necessarie per prevenire tentativi di frode o abusi futuri, se richiesto dalla legge o per scopi commerciali legittimi, ove applicabile, quali analisi di dati non personali, recupero dell'account, mantenimento dell'operatività o della sicurezza dei nostri sistemi, verifica dei nostri archivi o esercizio dei nostri diritti e doveri previsti dai nostri accordi.

I nostri prodotti e servizi, inclusi i nostri siti web e le nostre proprietà multimediali digitali, possono contenere collegamenti o dare la possibilità all'utente di accedere a siti web, prodotti e servizi di parti terze. Non siamo responsabili per le pratiche in materia di privacy impiegate da tali parti terze, né siamo responsabili per le informazioni o i contenuti presenti nei loro prodotti e servizi. La presente Normativa sulla privacy si applica solamente ai dati da noi raccolti. Invitiamo l'utente a leggere le normative sulla privacy di eventuali parti terze prima di iniziare a utilizzare i loro siti web, prodotti o servizi.

È importante che l'utente adotti tutte le precauzioni necessarie per tutelarsi contro accessi non autorizzati ai propri prodotti Western Digital, alle proprie credenziali, ai propri computer e ad altri dispositivi. Qualora l'utente sospetti che la sicurezza del proprio account o dei dati personali sia compromessa, può rivolgersi immediatamente a Western Digital tramite i Contatti. È importante ricordare che, nonostante gli sforzi da noi attuati per mantenere misure di sicurezza fisiche, elettroniche e procedurali adeguate e ragionevoli, nessun sistema di sicurezza è impenetrabile. In caso di violazione della sicurezza, Western Digital invierà tempestivamente debita comunicazione all'utente e alle autorità competenti, se previsto dalla legge.

Manterremo i dati personali dell'utente in conformità con la legge applicabile sulla protezione dei dati e conserveremo tali dati in conformità con la nostra politica di conservazione dei dati per tutto il tempo necessario per soddisfare gli scopi descritti nella presente Normativa sulla privacy, e li elimineremo secondo quanto previsto dalla nostra politica di cancellazione, a meno che un periodo di conservazione più lungo non sia richiesto o permesso dalla legge. I dati sensibili saranno utilizzati per la transazione specifica per cui sono stati destinati e saranno conservati solo per il tempo necessario per completare la transazione o come altrimenti consentito dall'utente.

Non raccogliamo, usiamo o trasmettiamo consapevolmente i dati personali di minori di 16 anni. Qualora Western Digital si renda conto di avere raccolto i dati personali di minori di 16 anni o età equivalente in base alla giurisdizione, ad esempio 13 anni negli Stati Uniti o 14 anni nella Repubblica Popolare Cinese (che, ai fini della presente Normativa sulla privacy, esclude Hong Kong SAR, Macao SAR e la regione di Taiwan), elimineremo le relative informazioni non appena possibile. Qualora l'utente venga a conoscenza del fatto che un minore di 16 anni ci ha fornito i propri dati personali, deve contattarci immediatamente.

Se l'utente è residente nello stato della California, è minore di 18 anni ed è un utente registrato dei nostri prodotti e servizi, la legge vigente in California permette di richiedere e ottenere la rimozione di contenuti o informazioni che l'utente ha reso pubblici. Per formulare tale richiesta, l'utente può rivolgersi a Western Digital mediante i Contatti per indicare la posizione esatta dei contenuti e comprovandone la pubblicazione. Agiremo in buona fede e compiremo ogni sforzo possibile per rimuovere tale pubblicazione visibile al pubblico o per renderla anonima in modo tale da non poter identificare individualmente l'utente, nella misura prevista dalla legislazione applicabile. Si segnala, tuttavia, che tali richieste non assicurano la completa rimozione di un contenuto o di un'informazione pubblicata e che, in alcuni casi, la legge non richiede o permette la rimozione, nemmeno previa richiesta.

Quando condividiamo i dati personali dell'utente con i nostri partner, le affiliate Western Digital e i fornitori di servizi, tali dati vengono trasferiti e/o resi accessibili a Paesi al di fuori dello Spazio economico europeo (SEE) o della Repubblica Popolare Cinese. In tali circostanze, utilizzeremo le clausole contrattuali modello adottate dalla Commissione europea o dalla Cyberspace Administration of China, come pertinente, oppure altri modelli legali. Applicheremo inoltre i provvedimenti obbligatori per agire in conformità con le leggi applicabili (ad esempio, creando una procedura per comunicare all’utente ulteriori informazioni necessarie per il trasferimento dei suoi dati personali al di fuori della Repubblica Popolare Cinese). Per alcuni dei nostri servizi, i dati personali dell'utente possono essere trasferiti e/o archiviati e trattati su server situati negli Stati Uniti o in altre località al di fuori del Paese di residenza dell'utente al solo scopo di fornire all'utente tali servizi.

Ci riserviamo la facoltà di apportare modifiche periodiche alla presente Normativa sulla privacy per tenerla aggiornata, tra l'altro, in base a nuove tecnologie, nuove prassi del settore e nuovi requisiti giuridici. La maggior parte delle modifiche dovrebbe essere di minore entità. Qualsiasi modifica non sostanziale entra in vigore immediatamente dopo la pubblicazione della Normativa sulla privacy aggiornata (la data dell'ultima modifica sarà indicata all'inizio del documento). In alcuni casi, tuttavia, le modifiche alla presente Normativa sulla privacy potrebbero essere significative. In tali casi, Western Digital fornirà all'utente una notifica evidente riguardo alle modifiche sul proprio sito web oppure invierà una comunicazione direttamente all'utente. 

L'uso reiterato dei nostri prodotti e servizi successivamente alla data effettiva di entrata in vigore della Normativa sulla privacy corrisponde all'accettazione da parte dell'utente della stessa. Se l'utente non accetta la Normativa sulla privacy aggiornata, è tenuto a interrompere l'utilizzo dei nostri prodotti e servizi e a rivolgersi a Western Digital tramite i Contatti per chiudere tutti gli account creati.

Per eventuali domande sulla Normativa sulla privacy o le relative modifiche, l'utente può inviare un'e-mail al Responsabile della protezione dei dati (DPO) all'indirizzo DPO@wdc.com. Può inoltre contattarci utilizzando il modulo web o scriverci all'indirizzo di uno dei nostri uffici più vicini indicando: Alla C. Att.ne di: Ufficio Legale - Domanda sulla Normativa sulla privacy.

Seguridad y cumplimiento legal

Podría ser necesario, por ley o como resultado de procedimientos judiciales, litigios o solicitudes de autoridades públicas o gubernamentales dentro o fuera de su país de residencia, que divulguemos información personal. También es posible que divulguemos información personal si determinamos que, para fines de seguridad nacional, cumplimiento de la ley u otros asuntos de importancia pública, la divulgación es necesaria o apropiada.  También podemos divulgar información personal si determinamos de buena fe que la divulgación es razonablemente necesaria para proteger nuestros derechos y exigir los recursos disponibles, hacer cumplir nuestros términos y condiciones, investigar casos de fraude o proteger nuestras actividades o a nuestros usuarios.

Tomamos medidas razonables para asegurarnos de que su información personal sea precisa y esté completa y actualizada. Según el lugar donde viva, puede tener los derechos que se describen a continuación.

Como lo exige la ley y para proteger la privacidad y la seguridad de su información personal, podemos solicitarle información que nos permita confirmar su identidad y su derecho a acceder a dicha información, así como buscar y proporcionarle la información personal que mantenemos. Existen casos en los que las leyes aplicables o los requisitos regulatorios nos permiten o exigen rechazar una solicitud.

Si usted es residente de California o de otro estado o jurisdicción que otorga este derecho a darse de baja de la venta o el uso compartido de su información personal con terceros para los fines de datos descritos anteriormente, incluida la publicidad conductual entre contextos:

• envíe una solicitud mediante el formulario No vender ni compartir mi información personal disponible aquí, y especifique que desea darse de baja de las ventas (tales como compartir su información con nuestros socios con fines de compatibilidad con el público a través de otros medios que no sean las cookies o las tecnologías de seguimiento web indicadas en el numeral (2) a continuación); y 
• haga clic en Preferencias sobre cookies y cambie las opciones a “No” tanto para las opciones de cookies de “Rendimiento y funcionalidad” como de “Publicidad”, y haga clic en “Enviar preferencias”.

Desactivar estas cookies y tecnologías de seguimiento web solo puede aplicarse al navegador específico desde el cual hace clic en el enlace y es posible que sus preferencias se restablezcan si cambia su configuración.

Agente autorizado: puede autorizar a un agente para que presente una solicitud en su nombre, siempre que le otorgue al agente autorizado un permiso por escrito firmado por usted a fin de realizar una solicitud en su nombre, y su agente autorizado también pueda verificar su propia identidad ante nosotros.  Si es residente de California y desea designar un agente con el fin de realizar una solicitud, su agente deberá estar registrado como tal ante el Secretario de Estado de California y presentar una copia de este registro junto con su solicitud de consumidor verificada. Haga que su agente autorizado siga las instrucciones anteriores para realizar una solicitud y, además, envíe por correo su declaración por escrito que autorice al agente a que actúe en su nombre, certificada por un notario, a: Legal Department, 5601 Great Oaks Parkway, San Jose, California 95119 USA. Si su agente autorizado tiene poder notarial, es posible que no sea necesario seguir estos pasos.

También puede comunicarse con nosotros por teléfono al 888-914-9661 (PIN: 228663) para ejercer sus derechos aplicables, y puede presentar una reclamación ante la autoridad competente en materia de protección de datos con respecto al procesamiento de su información personal. También puede oponerse o restringir el procesamiento adicional de su información personal, y apelar cualquier decisión que involucre el ejercicio de sus derechos aplicables. No lo discriminaremos por el ejercicio de sus derechos aplicables.

Si solicita la eliminación de sus datos, esto suprimirá su capacidad para acceder a cualquier cuenta de Western Digital. No tenemos la obligación de conservar su información y es posible que eliminemos toda su información o parte de ella sin ninguna responsabilidad. Sin embargo, podemos conservar la información relacionada con usted si creemos que puede ser necesaria para prevenir el fraude o futuros abusos, si así lo exige la ley o para fines legítimos, cuando corresponda, como el análisis de la información no personal, la recuperación de cuentas, el mantenimiento de la funcionalidad o la seguridad de nuestros sistemas, la auditoría de nuestros registros o el cumplimiento de nuestros derechos y obligaciones en virtud de nuestros acuerdos.

Es posible que nuestros productos y servicios, incluidos nuestros sitios web y los medios digitales de nuestra propiedad, contengan enlaces o le otorguen posibilidades de acceso a los sitios web, productos y servicios de terceros. No somos responsables de las prácticas de privacidad que emplean esos terceros, ni somos responsables de la información o el contenido que incluyan sus productos y servicios. Esta Declaración de privacidad se aplica únicamente a la información recopilada por nosotros. Le recomendamos leer las políticas de privacidad de los terceros correspondientes antes de proceder a utilizar sus sitios web, productos o servicios.

Es importante que tome precauciones para protegerse contra el acceso no autorizado a sus productos, credenciales de cuenta y computadoras u otros dispositivos de Western Digital. Si considera que la seguridad de su cuenta o su información personal se ha visto comprometida, comuníquese con nosotros inmediatamente. Tenga en cuenta que, a pesar de nuestros esfuerzos por mantener medidas razonables y adecuadas de seguridad físicas, electrónicas y procedimentales, no existe ningún sistema de seguridad que sea impenetrable. Ante una infracción de seguridad, le notificaremos de manera oportuna a usted y a las autoridades si así lo requiere la ley.

Almacenaremos su información personal de acuerdo con la ley de protección de datos aplicable, conservaremos dicha información de acuerdo con nuestra política de retención de datos durante el tiempo que sea necesario para cumplir con los fines descritos en esta Declaración de privacidad y eliminaremos tal información de acuerdo con nuestra política de eliminación, a menos que la ley exija o permita un período de retención más prolongado. La información confidencial se utilizará para la transacción específica a la que estaba destinada y solo la conservamos durante el período necesario para completar la transacción o según lo permita el usuario.

No recopilamos, utilizamos ni divulgamos información de niños menores de 16 años de edad a sabiendas. Si entramos en conocimiento de que recopilamos información personal de un niño menor de 16 años —o la edad mínima equivalente según la jurisdicción, como 13 años en Estados Unidos o 14 años en la República Popular China (que, a efectos de esta Declaración de privacidad, excluye la RAE de Hong Kong, la RAE de Macao y la región de Taiwán)—, tomaremos medidas para eliminar la información lo antes posible. Comuníquese con nosotros de inmediato si se da cuenta de que una persona menor de 16 años de edad nos ha proporcionado información personal.

Si es un residente de California menor de 18 años y es un usuario registrado de nuestros productos o servicios, las leyes de California le permiten solicitar y obtener la eliminación del contenido o de la información que haya dado a conocer públicamente. Para presentar dicha solicitud comuníquese con nosotros con información específica que indique dónde se publicó el contenido o la información y dé fe de que usted la publicó. Luego haremos esfuerzos razonables y de buena fe para eliminar la publicación de la posible vista pública o para anonimizarla a fin de que usted no pueda ser identificado de manera individual, en la medida en que lo exijan las leyes aplicables. Tenga en cuenta que dicha solicitud no garantiza la eliminación completa o exhaustiva del contenido o de la información que ha publicado y que pueden existir circunstancias en las que la ley no exija o permita la eliminación, incluso si se la solicita.

Cuando compartimos su información personal con nuestros socios, empresas afiliadas a Western Digital y proveedores de servicios, su información personal podría transferirse o hacerse accesible desde países fuera del Espacio Económico Europeo o la República Popular China. En tales circunstancias, suscribiremos cláusulas contractuales modelo adoptadas por la Comisión Europea o la Administración del Ciberespacio de China, según corresponda, o nos basaremos en bases legales alternativas, y aplicaremos medidas obligatorias para actuar de acuerdo con las leyes aplicables (por ejemplo, creando un proceso para revelarle la información adicional requerida al transferir su información personal fuera de la República Popular China). Para algunos de nuestros servicios, su información personal puede transferirse a servidores localizados, o almacenarse y procesarse en ellos, en los Estados Unidos o en otras ubicaciones fuera del país en el que usted reside con el objetivo de proporcionarle servicios.

Podemos modificar periódicamente esta Declaración de privacidad para mantenernos al día con las nuevas tecnologías, las prácticas de la industria y los requisitos regulatorios, entre otras razones. Esperamos que tales cambios sean menores. Toda modificación no sustancial entrará en vigor inmediatamente después de la publicación de una Declaración de privacidad actualizada e indicaremos la fecha de la última modificación en la parte superior de este documento. Sin embargo, puede haber casos en los que las modificaciones a esta Declaración de privacidad sean más significativas. En tales casos, le proporcionaremos un aviso destacado de esos cambios en nuestro sitio web o le enviaremos una notificación directa. 

El uso continuado de nuestros productos y servicios luego de la fecha de entrada en vigor de la Declaración de privacidad significa que acepta la Declaración de privacidad revisada. Si no está de acuerdo con la Declaración de privacidad revisada, absténgase de usar nuestros productos y servicios y comuníquese con nosotros para cerrar toda cuenta que pueda haber creado.

Si tiene preguntas acerca de esta Declaración de privacidad o de su implementación, puede enviar un correo electrónico a nuestro responsable de protección de datos (DPO) a DPO@wdc.com. También puede comunicarse con nosotros a través de nuestro formulario web o escribirnos a una ubicación cercana a usted por correo postal, dirigida a: A LA ATENCIÓN DE: Departamento Legal: pregunta sobre la Declaración de privacidad.

Jak wykorzystujemy zebrane dane osobowe?

Możemy wykorzystywać dane osobowe do celów opisanych w niniejszej Polityce prywatności. Ogólnie rzecz biorąc, wykorzystujemy dane osobowe, aby dostarczać, udoskonalać, rozwijać i personalizować doświadczenia konsumenckie użytkownika w odniesieniu do naszych produktów i usług, kontaktować się z użytkownikami, oferować im ukierunkowane reklamy i usługi, a także chronić naszą firmę i naszych użytkowników. Możemy to robić na podstawie zgody użytkownika w celu realizacji obowiązku prawnego, w celu realizacji umowy zawartej z użytkownikiem lub dla naszych uzasadnionych interesów – w zakresie dozwolonym przez obowiązujące prawo. Firma Western Digital Technologies, Inc. zbiera i przetwarza dane osobowe oraz decyduje o sposobie przetwarzania danych osobowych użytkowników jako administrator tych danych w następujących celach:

• Dostarczanie, udoskonalanie, rozwijanie i personalizowanie doświadczeń konsumenckich użytkownika w odniesieniu do naszych produktów i usług: możemy wykorzystywać dane osobowe, aby pomóc nam dostarczać, udoskonalać, rozwijać i personalizować doświadczenia konsumenckie użytkownika w odniesieniu do naszych produktów i usług. Obejmuje to posługiwanie się danymi osobowymi w celach takich jak analiza danych, badania i audyty. Możemy realizować tego rodzaju przetwarzanie informacji na podstawie zgody użytkownika lub w naszym uzasadnionym interesie, w którym leży oferowanie użytkownikom naszych produktów i usług, a także w celu zapewnienia ciągłości naszej działalności biznesowej. W przypadku gdy użytkownik bierze udział w loterii, konkursie lub innej promocji, podane przez niego dane osobowe mogą zostać wykorzystane do administrowania takimi programami. Niektóre z tych programów są objęte dodatkowym regulaminem, w którego treści mogą znajdować się dalsze informacje dotyczące wykorzystywania przez nas danych osobowych. W związku z tym zalecamy, aby przed przystąpieniem do programu dokładnie zapoznać się z jego regulaminem.
• Kontaktowanie się z użytkownikami: Możemy wykorzystywać dane osobowe w celu odpowiadania na pytania użytkownika i kontaktowania się z nim w sprawie ważnych powiadomień, w tym powiadomień związanych z kontem użytkownika, produktami, usługami, transakcjami lub zmianami naszych polityk i warunków. Takie przetwarzanie jest stosowane, ponieważ jest niezbędne do realizacji umowy zawartej z użytkownikiem lub opiera się na naszym uzasadnionym interesie w kontakcie z użytkownikiem w celu dostarczenia mu naszych produktów i usług. Możemy również wykorzystywać dane osobowe do komunikowania się z użytkownikiem w sprawie jego podań o pracę. Nasze powiadomienia o prywatności dla osób składających podanie o pracę i pracowników zawierają dodatkowe informacje dotyczące gromadzonych przez nas danych osobowych oraz sposobu, w jaki wykorzystujemy dane osobowe w związku z podaniami o pracę. Za uprzednią wyraźną zgodą użytkownika możemy używać jego danych osobowych do przesyłania korespondencji marketingowej związanej z produktami i usługami Western Digital oraz możemy udostępniać dane osobowe użytkownika partnerom zewnętrznym, którzy mogą wysyłać do niego korespondencję marketingową związaną z oferowanymi przez nich produktami i usługami. W sytuacji, gdy użytkownik chce zrezygnować z otrzymywania drogą elektroniczną korespondencji marketingowej, prosimy o kontakt z nami w celu wycofania udzielonej zgody. Przekazane przez użytkownika informacje mogą być przez nas używane do przetwarzania i udzielania odpowiedzi na przesyłane przez niego zgłoszenia.
• Oferowanie i ocena ukierunkowanych reklam i usług: możemy posługiwać się danymi osobowymi w celu przekazywania użytkownikowi spersonalizowanych reklam, również na stronach internetowych i w aplikacjach podmiotów zewnętrznych, a także w celu oceny skuteczności naszych kampanii promocyjnych. Aby dowiedzieć się więcej o tym, w jaki sposób używamy technologii śledzenia sieci Web do przekazywania spersonalizowanych reklam, prosimy zapoznać się z naszą Polityką plików cookie. Możemy również posługiwać się dopasowywaniem odbiorców, aby dotrzeć do osób (lub osób podobnych do innych osób), które korzystały z naszych produktów i usług lub które znajdują się w przynajmniej jednej spośród naszych baz danych. Jest to realizowane przez nas poprzez przekazanie listy haszowanych adresów e-mail partnerowi reklamowemu lub dołączenie piksela od partnera reklamowego do naszych własnych produktów i usług oraz przez dopasowanie wspólnych czynników naszych danych i danych partnera reklamowego przez partnera reklamowego.
• Wspieranie bezpieczeństwa: możemy wykorzystywać dane osobowe w celu weryfikacji kont i aktywności użytkowników oraz w celu wspierania bezpieczeństwa, na przykład poprzez monitorowanie nadużyć i prowadzenie dochodzeń w związku z podejrzaną lub potencjalnie nielegalną działalnością bądź naruszeniem naszych warunków lub polityki. Takie przetwarzanie jest stosowane, ponieważ jest niezbędne do realizacji umowy zawartej z użytkownikiem lub opiera się na naszym uzasadnionym interesie, w którym leży zapewnianie bezpieczeństwa naszych produktów i usług.
• Przetwarzanie płatności: Nasz system przetwarzający płatności może wykorzystywać dane osobowe użytkownika, w tym informacje handlowe i finansowe, w szczególności do przetwarzania płatności i opłat transakcyjnych związanych z produktem lub usługą, które zamawia.

W przypadku każdego opisanego powyżej sposobu wykorzystywania danych osobowych wymagającego uprzedniej wyraźnej zgody użytkownika zgodnie z obowiązującym prawem, użytkownik może wycofać swoją zgodę, kontaktując się z nami przez formularz internetowy.

Jako firma o zasięgu globalnym Western Digital Corporation posiada szereg podmiotów zależnych działających w różnych systemach prawnych. Każdy z nich gromadzi, przetwarza i decyduje o sposobie przetwarzania danych osobowych jako administrator tych danych, aby dostarczać użytkownikom zamówione przez nich produkty i usługi.

Wykorzystujemy i w ciągu ostatnich 12 miesięcy wykorzystywaliśmy pliki cookie i podobne technologie, aby dostarczać, chronić i udoskonalać nasze produkty i usługi, w tym poprzez personalizację treści, zdobywanie wiedzy o zachowaniach użytkowników i zwiększanie poziomu bezpieczeństwa użytkowania naszych rozwiązań. Oprócz tego wykorzystujemy te technologie w celu przekazywania użytkownikom spersonalizowanych reklam, również na stronach internetowych i w aplikacjach podmiotów zewnętrznych, a także w celu oceny skuteczności naszych kampanii promocyjnych.

Aby dowiedzieć się więcej o tym, w jaki sposób używamy plików cookie i technologii śledzenia sieci Web oraz jakie możliwości wyboru ma w związku z tym użytkownik, prosimy zapoznać się z naszą Polityką plików cookie.

Udostępniamy określone dane osobowe partnerom strategicznym i innym odbiorcom opisanym poniżej do celów opisanych w niniejszej Polityce prywatności.

Możemy również udostępniać dane osobowe użytkownika reklamodawcom, dostawcom analiz danych i serwisom społecznościowym, które pomagają nam w formułowaniu rekomendacji produktowych, komunikacji marketingowej i wysyłaniu odpowiednich treści. Wspomniane firmy mają obowiązek ochrony danych użytkowników i mogą być zlokalizowane w dowolnym miejscu na świecie, w którym prowadzimy działalność.

Podmioty zależne i korporacyjne transakcje biznesowe

Zastrzegamy sobie prawo do udostępniania danych osobowych wszystkim podmiotom zależnym od Western Digital Corporation. W przypadku fuzji, reorganizacji, przejęcia, powstania przedsiębiorstwa joint venture, przeniesienia, wydzielenia, transferu, sprzedaży lub rozdysponowania naszej firmy w części lub w całości, w tym w ramach postępowania upadłościowego lub podobnego, wszelkie zgromadzone dane osobowe mogą zostać przekazane właściwej stronie trzeciej.

Zgodność z przepisami prawa i bezpieczeństwo

Istnieją sytuacje, w których może wystąpić konieczność ujawnienia przez nas danych osobowych – w związku z wymogami prawa, w wyniku przeprowadzonej procedury prawnej lub postępowania sądowego bądź w odpowiedzi na wniosek organów administracji publicznej lub rządowej działających w kraju zamieszkania użytkownika lub poza jego granicami. Informacje te możemy ujawnić również, jeśli uznamy, że jest to niezbędne lub właściwe ze względu na bezpieczeństwo narodowe, egzekwowanie prawa lub inny ważny interes społeczny.  Ponadto możemy ujawnić dane osobowe także, gdy w dobrej wierze stwierdzimy, że jest to w uzasadniony sposób niezbędne do ochrony naszych praw i zastosowania dostępnych środków naprawczych, egzekwowania naszych warunków i postanowień, wszczęcia dochodzenia w sprawie oszustwa bądź ochrony naszej działalności lub użytkowników.

Podejmujemy należyte kroki, aby dane osobowe użytkowników były dokładne, kompletne i aktualne. W zależności od miejsca zamieszkania użytkownicy mogą posiadać opisane poniżej prawa.

• Prawo do informacji o gromadzonych przez nas danych osobowych, w tym źródeł, z których zbierane są dane osobowe, naszych celach ich gromadzenia oraz kategorii odbiorców, którym udostępniliśmy dane osobowe użytkownika, w tym wszelkich informacji udostępnianych stronom trzecim w ich celach marketingowych
• Prawo dostępu do przetwarzanych przez nas danych osobowych w ustrukturyzowanej i ustandaryzowanej formie
• Prawo do usunięcia danych osobowych
• Prawo do rezygnacji ze sprzedaży lub udostępniania danych osobowych stronom trzecim

• Prawo do rezygnacji z podejmowania niektórych zautomatyzowanych decyzji
• Prawo do poprawiania lub sprostowania wszelkich niedokładnych informacji dotyczących użytkownika

Aby skorzystać ze swoich praw, użytkownik może użyć formularza internetowego. Na prośbę użytkownika odpowiemy w terminie wymaganym przez obowiązujące prawo (zasadniczo w ciągu 30 dni).

Zgodnie z wymogami prawa i mając na celu ochronę prywatności oraz zagwarantowanie bezpieczeństwa danych osobowych, możemy zwrócić się do użytkownika z prośbą o udzielenie informacji, które pozwolą nam potwierdzić jego tożsamość i uprawnienia dostępu do tych danych oraz umożliwią nam wyszukanie i dostarczenie użytkownikowi przechowywanych przez nas danych osobowych. Zdarzają się sytuacje, w których obowiązujące prawo lub wymogi prawne zezwalają na odrzucenie wniosku lub nakładają na nas taki obowiązek.

Jeśli użytkownik jest mieszkańcem Kalifornii lub innego stanu bądź jurysdykcji, w której zapewnione jest prawo do rezygnacji ze sprzedaży lub udostępniania przez nas danych osobowych stronom trzecim w celu wykorzystania danych użytkownika opisanych powyżej, w tym w szeroko rozumianym kontekście reklamy behawioralnej, powinien:

• złożyć wniosek, uzupełniając formularz Rezygnacja ze sprzedaży i udostępniania danych osobowych dostępny tutaj i wskazując chęć rezygnacji ze sprzedaży (np. udostępniania danych naszym partnerom do potrzeb dopasowywania odbiorców innymi środkami niż pliki cookie czy technologie śledzenia sieci Web, o których mowa w punkcie (2) poniżej), oraz 
• kliknąć Preferencje dotyczące ciasteczek w poniższej stopce i wybrać pozycję „Nie” w opcjach plików cookie związanych z wydajnością i funkcjonalnością oraz reklamami, a następnie kliknąć przycisk „Potwierdź preferencje”. Spowoduje to dezaktywację plików cookie związanych z wydajnością, funkcjonalnością i reklamami oraz technologii śledzenia sieci Web na naszej stronie. Obejmuje to również technologie wykorzystywane do celów dopasowywania odbiorców i personalizacji reklam. Dezaktywacja tych plików cookie i technologii śledzenia sieci Web może mieć zastosowanie wyłącznie do konkretnej przeglądarki internetowej, z poziomu której kliknięto łącze. W przypadku zmiany ustawień preferencje mogą ulec zresetowaniu.

Upoważniony przedstawiciel: Użytkownik może upoważnić przedstawiciela do złożenia wniosku w jego imieniu, pod warunkiem że zostanie mu przekazana pisemna, podpisana przez użytkownika zgoda na złożenie wniosku, a przedstawiciel dodatkowo będzie w stanie potwierdzić nam swoją tożsamość.  Jeśli użytkownik zamieszkujący w Kalifornii chce wyznaczyć przedstawiciela do celów złożenia wniosku, przedstawiciel musi zgłosić ten fakt w biurze Sekretarza Stanu Kalifornia i przesłać nam egzemplarz zgłoszenia rejestracyjnego razem ze zweryfikowanym wnioskiem konsumenckim użytkownika. W celu złożenia wniosku upoważniony przedstawiciel powinien postępować zgodnie z powyższymi instrukcjami, a dodatkowo przesłać pisemną, notarialnie poświadczoną deklarację upoważniającą go do działania w imieniu użytkownika, na poniższy adres: Legal Department, 5601 Great Oaks Parkway, San Jose, California, 95119 USA. Jeśli upoważniony przedstawiciel użytkownika ma pełnomocnictwo, wykonanie tych czynności może nie być konieczne.

Aby skorzystać ze swoich praw, można również skontaktować się z nami telefonicznie, dzwoniąc pod numer 888-914-9661 (numer PIN: 228663). Użytkownik ma także prawo do złożenia przed właściwym organem ochrony danych skargi dotyczącej przetwarzania swoich danych osobowych. Użytkownik może również sprzeciwić się dalszemu przetwarzaniu danych osobowych lub ograniczyć ich przetwarzanie, a także odwołać się od wszelkich decyzji w ramach korzystania z przysługujących mu praw. Korzystając z przysługujących mu praw, użytkownik nie spotka się z żadnymi reperkusjami z naszej strony.

Jeśli użytkownik zażąda usunięcia swoich danych, straci on dostęp do wszystkich kont Western Digital. Nie jesteśmy zobowiązani do przechowywania danych użytkownika, w związku z czym możemy usunąć je bez ponoszenia jakiejkolwiek odpowiedzialności. W stosownych przypadkach zastrzegamy sobie jednak prawo do zachowania informacji dotyczących użytkownika, jeśli uznamy, że mogą one być niezbędne do zapobiegania oszustwom lub przyszłym nadużyciom, jeśli jest to wymagane prawem lub w uzasadnionych celach, takich jak analiza informacji niebędących danymi osobowymi, odzyskiwanie konta, utrzymywanie funkcjonalności lub bezpieczeństwa naszych systemów, przeprowadzanie audytów naszych raportów lub egzekwowanie naszych praw i obowiązków wynikających z podpisanych przez nas umów.

Oferowane przez nas produkty i usługi, włączając w to nasze strony internetowe i media cyfrowe, mogą zawierać łącza lub oferować dostęp do stron internetowych, produktów i usług podmiotów zewnętrznych. Nie ponosimy odpowiedzialności za praktyki w zakresie ochrony prywatności stosowane przez te podmioty ani za informacje lub treści zawarte w ich produktach i usługach. Niniejsza Polityka prywatności dotyczy wyłącznie informacji, które są gromadzone przez nas. Zachęcamy do zapoznania się z polityką prywatności stosownych podmiotów zewnętrznych przed rozpoczęciem korzystania z ich stron internetowych, produktów lub usług.

Ważne jest, aby każdy użytkownik w odpowiedni sposób zabezpieczył swoje produkty Western Digital, dane uwierzytelniające konta oraz komputery lub inne urządzenia przed dostępem osób niepowołanych. W przypadku podejrzenia naruszenia bezpieczeństwa konta lub danych osobowych prosimy o jak najszybszy kontakt z nami. Należy pamiętać, że pomimo naszych starań na rzecz zapewnienia uzasadnionych i odpowiednich (w tym elektronicznych, fizycznych i proceduralnych) środków bezpieczeństwa żaden system bezpieczeństwa nie jest nieprzenikniony. W razie naruszenia bezpieczeństwa niezwłocznie powiadomimy o tym użytkownika oraz odpowiednie organy, jeżeli wymaga tego prawo.

Przechowujemy dane osobowe użytkownika zgodnie z obowiązującym prawem o ochronie danych. Czynimy to zgodnie z naszą polityką przechowywania danych tak długo, jak jest to konieczne do realizacji celów określonych w niniejszej Polityce prywatności. Zgodnie z naszą polityką dotyczącą usuwania danych osobowych wdrożymy procedurę ich usunięcia, chyba że dłuższy okres przechowywania jest wymagany lub dozwolony przez prawo. Poufne informacje będą wykorzystywane w odniesieniu do konkretnej transakcji, do której miały zostać użyte i będą przechowywane przez nas wyłącznie przez okres niezbędny do realizacji transakcji lub w inny sposób dozwolony przez użytkownika.

Nie zbieramy, nie wykorzystujemy ani nie ujawniamy rozmyślnie danych osobowych dzieci w wieku poniżej 16 lat. Jeśli ustalimy, że zostały przez nas zgromadzone dane osobowe osoby, która nie ukończyła 16 lat – lub równoważnego minimalnego wieku obowiązującego w danym systemie prawnym, a więc przykładowo 13 lat w Stanach Zjednoczonych lub 14 lat w Chińskiej Republice Ludowej (przy czym państwo to, do celów niniejszej Polityki prywatności, nie obejmuje Specjalnego Regionu Administracyjnego Hongkong, Specjalnego Regionu Administracyjnego Makau oraz regionu Tajwanu) – podejmiemy kroki mające na celu jak najszybsze usunięcie tych danych. W przypadku posiadania informacji o przekazaniu nam danych osobowych przez osobę poniżej 16. roku życia, prosimy o jak najszybszy kontakt z nami.

Osoby poniżej 18. roku życia, które są mieszkańcami Kalifornii i będące zarejestrowanymi użytkownikami naszych produktów lub usług mogą – zgodnie z prawem stanu Kalifornia – zwrócić się z prośbą o usunięcie treści lub informacji opublikowanych przez siebie publicznie i uzyskać pozytywne rozpatrzenie wniosku. Aby wystąpić z takim wnioskiem, prosimy o kontakt z nami oraz dostarczenie szczegółowych informacji dotyczących miejsca, w którym opublikowane zostały wspomniane treści lub informacje, i potwierdzenie, że jest się autorem posta. W zakresie dozwolonym przez obowiązujące prawo dołożymy wszelkich starań, aby usunąć post z publicznie dostępnych stron bądź nadać mu anonimowy charakter uniemożliwiający identyfikację użytkownika. Należy pamiętać, że złożenie wniosku nie gwarantuje całkowitego ani pełnego usunięcia opublikowanych treści bądź informacji oraz że w pewnych okolicznościach prawo nie wymaga ich usunięcia lub nie zezwala na nie nawet po wystosowaniu odpowiedniej prośby.

Gdy udostępniamy dane osobowe użytkowników naszym partnerom, podmiotom zależnym od Western Digital i usługodawcom, informacje te mogą zostać przesłane do państw spoza Europejskiego Obszaru Gospodarczego lub Chińskiej Republiki Ludowej i/lub tam udostępnione. W takiej sytuacji posłużymy się modelowymi klauzulami umownymi przyjętymi przez Komisję Europejską lub Chińską Administrację Cyberprzestrzeni albo będziemy opierać się na alternatywnych podstawach prawnych i wdrożymy obowiązkowe środki, aby działać zgodnie z obowiązującym prawem (np. poprzez stworzenie procesu ujawniania użytkownikowi dodatkowych wymaganych informacji podczas przesyłania danych osobowych użytkownika poza Chińską Republikę Ludową). W przypadku niektórych naszych usług dane osobowe użytkownika mogą być przekazywane na serwery i/lub przechowywane i przetwarzane na serwerach w Stanach Zjednoczonych lub w innych miejscach poza krajem będącym miejscem zamieszkania użytkownika w celu świadczenia usług dla użytkownika.

Zastrzegamy sobie prawo do okresowego modyfikowania niniejszej Polityki prywatności, aby uwzględnić między innymi możliwości nowych technologii, praktyki branżowe i wymogi prawne. Spodziewamy się, że w większości będą to niewielkie zmiany. Wszelkie mniej istotne zmiany wejdą w życie z chwilą opublikowania zaktualizowanej Polityki prywatności – datę ostatniej modyfikacji wskażemy na górze tego dokumentu. Może się jednak zdarzyć, że zmiany w niniejszej Polityce prywatności będą miały bardziej istotny charakter. W takich przypadkach poinformujemy o takich zmianach na naszej stronie internetowej zanim wejdą one w życie lub wyślemy bezpośrednio powiadomienie o nich. 

Dalsze korzystanie z naszych produktów i usług po wejściu w życie Polityki prywatności będzie oznaczać, że użytkownik akceptuje jej nową wersję. W sytuacji, gdy użytkownik nie wyraża zgody na uaktualnioną Politykę prywatności, prosimy o zaprzestanie korzystania z naszych produktów i usług i kontakt z nami w celu zamknięcia wszelkich utworzonych kont.

W przypadku pytań dotyczących niniejszej Polityki prywatności lub jej wdrażania prosimy o kontakt z naszym inspektorem ochrony danych (DPO) pod adresem DPO@wdc.com. Możesz również skontaktować się z nami za pośrednictwem naszego formularza internetowego lub wysłać do nas list z najbliższej lokalizacji na adres: Do wiadomości [ATTN]: Dział prawny – pytanie dotyczące Polityki prywatności [Legal Department – Privacy Statement Question].

• Предоставление, улучшение, развитие и персонализация вашего опыта использования наших продуктов и услуг: Возможность использования персональных данных помогает нам предоставлять, улучшать, развивать и персонализировать ваш опыт использования наших продуктов и услуг. В этом смысле персональные данные используются в таких целях, как анализ данных, исследования и аудит. Подобная обработка данных может выполняться на основе вашего согласия или нашей обоснованной заинтересованности в том, чтобы предлагать вам продукты и услуги и обеспечивать непрерывность своей деятельности.

• Предложение рекламы и услуг, настроенных для пользователя, и их оценка: Мы можем использовать персональные данные для направления вам персонализированной рекламы, в том числе при использовании веб-сайтов и приложений сторонних разработчиков, а также для оценки эффективности наших рекламных кампаний. Ознакомьтесь с нашим Положением об использовании файлов cookie для получения подробной информации о порядке использования нами технологий веб-отслеживания для персонализированной рекламы и своих предпочтениях. Мы также вправе использовать технологии для подбора аудитории в целях охвата лиц, которые использовали наши продукты и услуги или идентифицированы в наших базах данных. Это осуществляется путем предоставления нами списка хешированных адресов электронной почты рекламному партнеру или путем включения пиксельного тега рекламного партнера в наши собственные продукты и услуги, а рекламный партнер сопоставляет общие факторы между нашими данными и своими данными.
• Обеспечение безопасности: Мы можем использовать персональные данные, чтобы подтверждать учетные записи и действия пользователей, а также чтобы обеспечивать безопасность, например, отслеживать возможные случаи мошенничества и расследовать подозрительные или потенциально незаконные действия или нарушения наших условий или политики.

Также мы можем разгласить персональные данные, если придем к выводу, что такое разглашение необходимо или уместно в целях обеспечения национальной безопасности, охраны правопорядка или других целях, имеющих общественное значение.  Мы также можем разгласить персональные данные, если у нас будут основания прийти к выводу, что разглашение необходимо для защиты наших прав и использования доступных нам средств правовой защиты, реализации наших условий использования, расследования случаев мошенничества или защиты нашей деятельности и наших пользователей.

Мы принимаем необходимые меры для обеспечения точности, полноты и актуальности ваших персональных данных. В зависимости от того, где именно вы проживаете, у вас могут быть описанные далее права.

В соответствии с требованиями законодательства и для обеспечения конфиденциальности и безопасности ваших персональных данных мы можем запросить у вас информацию, которая позволит подтвердить вашу личность и право на доступ к таким данным, а также выполнить поиск персональных данных, имеющихся в нашем распоряжении, и предоставить их вам. Существуют случаи, когда применимые законы или нормативные требования разрешают нам или требуют от нас отклонить запрос.

Если вы постоянно проживаете в штате Калифорния, другом штате или юрисдикции, предоставляющих это право, то для отказа от продажи или передачи нами ваших персональных данных третьим лицам для использования ваших данных в целях, описанных выше, включая кросс-контекстную поведенческую рекламу, вы должны:

• подать запрос посредством формы Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information (Не продавать и не передавать мои персональные данные»), доступной здесь, обозначив, что вы отказываетесь от продажи (путем предоставления ваших данных нашим партнерам для целей подбора аудитории способом, отличным от файлов cookie или технологий веб-отслеживания, указанных в пункте (2) ниже); а также 
• нажать на ссылку Cookie Preferences (Настройки параметра cookie) в нижней части страницы и выбрать вариант No (Нет) для эксплуатационных и функциональных файлов cookie и рекламных файлов cookie, а затем нажать на Submit Preferences (Отправить предпочтения).

Деактивация данных файлов cookie и технологий веб-отслеживания применяется только к определенному браузеру, в котором вы переходите по ссылке, и ваши предпочтения можно сбросить, если вы меняете свои настройки.

Уполномоченный представитель. Вы можете уполномочить вашего представителя подать запрос от вашего имени, при условии, что вы предоставите уполномоченному представителю подписанное вами письменное разрешение на подачу запроса от вашего имени, а ваш уполномоченный представитель сможет подтвердить свою личность.  Если вы постоянно проживаете в штате Калифорния и хотите назначить представителя в целях подачи запроса, ваш представитель должен зарегистрироваться в качестве такового у главы канцелярии губернатора штата Калифорния и предоставить копию этого регистрационного документа вместе с вашим подтвержденным запросом потребителя. Вам необходимо проинструктировать своего уполномоченного представителя, чтобы он придерживался приведенных выше инструкций при подаче запроса. Кроме того, вы должны отправить заверенное нотариусом письменное заявление, которым вы уполномочиваете представителя действовать от вашего имени, по почте по следующему адресу: Legal Department, 5601 Great Oaks Parkway, San Jose, California 95119 USA. Выполнение этих действий может быть необязательным, если ваш уполномоченный представитель действует по доверенности.

Вы также можете связаться с нами по телефону 888-914-9661 (PIN: 228663), чтобы реализовать свои законные права, и вы можете подать жалобу в имеющий соответствующие полномочия орган по защите данных относительно обработки ваших персональных данных.

Мы не будем проявлять дискриминацию в отношении вас за осуществление ваших законных прав.

При запросе на удаление данных доступ к учетным записям Western Digital будет прекращен. В этом случае мы не обязаны сохранять вашу информацию и можем удалить ее частично или полностью без каких-либо обязательств. Но мы можем сохранить связанную с вами информацию, если считаем, что это может быть необходимо для предотвращения мошенничества или злоупотреблений в будущем, если, в соответствующих случаях, это обязательно по закону или для осуществления законных целей, таких как анализ неперсональных данных, восстановление учетных записей, поддержание функциональности или безопасности наших систем, аудит наших счетов или реализация наших прав и обязанностей, вытекающих из заключенных нами соглашений.

Веб-сайты и службы сторонних разработчиков

Наши продукты и услуги, в том числе веб-сайты и цифровые мультимедийные материалы, могут содержать ссылки, позволяющие получить доступ к веб-сайтам, продуктам и услугам сторонних разработчиков или как-либо иначе обеспечивать такую возможность. Мы не несем ответственности за политику конфиденциальности, используемую такими третьими лицами, равно как не отвечаем за информацию и материалы, содержащиеся в их продуктах и услугах. Настоящее Положение о конфиденциальности распространяется исключительно на информацию, собираемую нами. Мы рекомендуем вам читать политику конфиденциальности любых третьих лиц, прежде чем продолжать использовать их веб-сайты, продукты или услуги.

Важно принимать меры для защиты от несанкционированного доступа к вашим продуктам, учетным данным Western Digital, к компьютерам или другим устройствам. Если вы считаете, что безопасность вашей учетной записи или персональных данных была нарушена, немедленно свяжитесь с нами. Обратите внимание, что несмотря на наши усилия по поддержанию обоснованных и надлежащих физических, электронных и процедурных мер безопасности, ни одна система безопасности не является абсолютно защищенной. В случае нарушения безопасности мы незамедлительно уведомим вас и соответствующие органы, если это предусмотрено законом.

Мы будем хранить ваши персональные данные в соответствии с применимым законодательством о защите данных, сохранять такие данные в соответствии с нашей политикой хранения данных в течение срока, необходимого для достижения целей, описанных в настоящем Положении о конфиденциальности, а также удалять такие данные в соответствии с нашей политикой удаления данных, если более долгий срок хранения не требуется или не разрешен по закону; Конфиденциальная информация будет использоваться для конкретных сделок, для которых она предназначалась, и будет храниться нами только в течение срока, необходимого для завершения сделки, или в соответствии с другими разрешениями пользователя.

Мы не собираем данные у детей младше 16 лет, не используем и не раскрываем такие данные преднамеренно. Если мы узнаем, что мы получили персональные данные ребенка возрастом до 16 лет или эквивалентного минимального возраста в зависимости от юрисдикции, например, 13 лет в США или 14 лет в КНР (что в рамках настоящего Положения о конфиденциальности исключает такие регионы, как САР Гонконг, САР Макао и Тайвань), мы предпримем необходимые меры по оперативному удалению указанной информации. Просим вас незамедлительно обратиться к нам, если вам станет известно о том, что ребенок младше 16 лет предоставил нам персональные данные.

Если вы постоянно проживаете в Калифорнии, вам не исполнилось 18 лет и вы являетесь зарегистрированным пользователем наших продуктов и услуг, законы штата Калифорния разрешают вам запрашивать и добиваться удаления материалов или информации, которую вы опубликовали в общем доступе. Для того чтобы отправить такой запрос, обратитесь к нам, указав конкретную информацию о том, где опубликованы соответствующие материалы или информация, и подтвердив тот факт, что их опубликовали именно вы. После этого мы примем обоснованные добросовестные меры к тому, чтобы удалить публикацию из общего доступа или сделать ее анонимной, чтобы ее невозможно было идентифицировать с конкретной личностью, в той степени, в которой это требуется по применимому законодательству. Обратите внимание на то, что такой запрос не обеспечивает полного и окончательного удаления материалов или информации, которые вы опубликовали, и возможны обстоятельства, при которых закон не обязывает нас удалять материалы и информацию и не разрешает нам делать это даже при получении запроса.

Когда мы предоставляем ваши персональные данные своим партнерам, аффилированным компаниям Western Digital и поставщикам услуг, ваши персональные данные могут передаваться в страны за пределами Европейской экономической зоны или КНР, а также к ним может осуществляться доступ из таких стран. В таких обстоятельствах мы заключим типовые соглашения, принятые Европейской комиссией или Администрацией киберпространства Китая, соответственно, или будем полагаться на альтернативные правовые базы, а также принимать обязательные меры в соответствии с действующим законодательством (например, прибегнем к процессу раскрытия вам дополнительной необходимой информации при передаче ваших персональных данных за пределы КНР). При оказании нами некоторых услуг ваши персональные данные могут передаваться и/или храниться и обрабатываться на серверах, расположенных в США или других местах за пределами вашей страны проживания.

Мы можем периодически вносить изменения в настоящее Положение о конфиденциальности, в частности, для обеспечения соответствия новым технологиям, отраслевым практикам и нормативным требованиям. По нашим прогнозам, большинство таких изменений будут незначительными. Любые незначительные изменения вступают в силу незамедлительно после публикации обновленного Положения о конфиденциальности. Мы будем указывать дату внесения последнего изменения в верхней части настоящего документа. Однако в настоящее Положение о конфиденциальности могут быть внесены и более существенные изменения. В таких случаях мы уведомим вас о данных изменениях на нашем веб-сайте или отправим вам сообщение об этом. 

Если вы продолжаете использовать наши продукты и услуги после даты вступления в силу Положения о конфиденциальности, это означает, что вы принимаете пересмотренное Положение о конфиденциальности. Если вы не согласны с пересмотренным Положением о конфиденциальности, воздержитесь от использования наших продуктов и услуг и свяжитесь с нами, чтобы закрыть любую созданную учетную запись.

Если у вас есть какие-либо вопросы относительно настоящего Положения о конфиденциальности или его реализации, вы можете написать нашему специалисту по защите данных (DPO) по адресу электронной почты: DPO@wdc.com. Вы также можете связаться с нами через нашу веб-форму или отправить письмо в ближайший к вам офис, указав следующие данные: ATTN: Legal Department - Privacy Statement Question.

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.

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.

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 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).

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.

Jika agen resmi Anda memiliki surat kuasa, langkah-langkah tersebut mungkin tidak perlu dilakukan.

Anda juga dapat menghubungi kami melalui telepon di nomor 888-914-9661 (PIN: 228663) untuk menggunakan hak Anda yang berlaku, dan Anda dapat mengajukan keluhan kepada otoritas perlindungan data yang kompeten terkait pemrosesan informasi pribadi Anda. Anda juga dapat menolak, atau membatasi, pemrosesan lebih lanjut informasi pribadi Anda, dan mengajukan banding atas setiap keputusan yang melibatkan pelaksanaan hak Anda yang berlaku. Kami tidak akan mendiskriminasi Anda karena menggunakan hak Anda yang berlaku.

Jika Anda meminta untuk menghapus data Anda, ini akan menghilangkan kemampuan Anda untuk mengakses akun Western Digital mana pun. Kami tidak memiliki kewajiban untuk menyimpan informasi Anda, dan kami dapat menghapus segala atau semua informasi Anda tanpa kewajiban. Namun, kami dapat menyimpan informasi yang terkait dengan Anda jika kami yakin hal itu mungkin diperlukan untuk mencegah penipuan atau penyalahgunaan di masa mendatang, jika diwajibkan oleh hukum, atau untuk tujuan yang sah, apabila berlaku, seperti analisis informasi nonpribadi, pemulihan akun, pemeliharaan fungsionalitas atau keamanan sistem kami, mengaudit catatan kami, atau menegakkan hak dan kewajiban kami berdasarkan perjanjian kami.

Produk dan layanan kami, termasuk situs web dan properti media digital kami, mungkin berisi tautan ke atau kemampuan Anda untuk mengakses situs web, produk, dan layanan pihak ketiga. Kami tidak bertanggung jawab atas praktik privasi yang digunakan oleh pihak ketiga tersebut, kami juga tidak bertanggung jawab atas informasi atau konten yang terkandung dalam produk dan layanan mereka. Pernyataan Privasi ini hanya berlaku untuk informasi yang kami kumpulkan. Kami menyarankan Anda untuk membaca kebijakan privasi pihak ketiga sebelum melanjutkan menggunakan situs web, produk, atau layanan mereka.

Penting agar Anda melakukan tindakan pencegahan untuk melindungi dari akses tidak sah ke produk Western Digital, kredensial akun, dan komputer atau perangkat Anda lainnya. Jika Anda merasa bahwa keamanan akun atau informasi pribadi Anda telah terancam, harap segera Hubungi Kami. Perlu diketahui bahwa, terlepas dari upaya kami untuk mempertahankan langkah-langkah keamanan fisik, elektronik, dan prosedural yang wajar dan sesuai, tidak ada sistem keamanan yang tidak dapat ditembus. Jika terjadi pelanggaran keamanan, kami akan segera memberi tahu Anda dan pihak berwenang yang sesuai jika diwajibkan oleh hukum.

Kami akan menyimpan informasi pribadi Anda sesuai dengan undang-undang perlindungan data yang berlaku, menyimpan informasi tersebut sesuai dengan kebijakan penyimpanan data kami selama diperlukan untuk memenuhi tujuan yang diuraikan dalam Pernyataan Privasi ini, dan menghapus informasi tersebut sesuai dengan kebijakan penghapusan kami kecuali undang-undang memerlukan atau mengizinkan kami menyimpannya dalam periode yang lebih lama, Informasi Sensitif akan digunakan untuk transaksi spesifik yang dimaksudkan dan hanya disimpan oleh kami selama periode waktu yang diperlukan untuk menyelesaikan transaksi atau sebagaimana diizinkan oleh pengguna.

Kami tidak dengan sengaja mengumpulkan, menggunakan, atau mengungkapkan informasi dari anak-anak di bawah usia 16 tahun. Jika kami mengetahui bahwa kami telah mengumpulkan informasi pribadi seorang anak di bawah usia 16 tahun—atau usia minimum yang setara bergantung pada yurisdiksi, seperti 13 tahun di Amerika Serikat atau 14 tahun di Republik Rakyat Tiongkok (yang, untuk tujuan Pernyataan Privasi ini, tidak termasuk DAK Hong Kong, DAK Macao, dan wilayah Taiwan)—kami akan melakukan langkah-langkah untuk menghapus informasi tersebut sesegera mungkin. Harap segera Hubungi Kami jika Anda mengetahui bahwa ada anak di bawah usia 16 tahun yang telah memberi kami informasi pribadi.

Jika Anda adalah penduduk California yang berusia di bawah 18 tahun, dan Anda adalah pengguna terdaftar dari produk atau layanan kami, hukum California mengizinkan Anda untuk meminta dan memperoleh penghapusan konten atau informasi yang telah Anda posting secara publik. Untuk mengajukan permintaan tersebut, harap Hubungi Kami dengan memberikan informasi spesifik tentang di mana konten atau informasi tersebut diposting dan membuktikan bahwa Anda mempostingnya. Kami kemudian akan melakukan upaya yang wajar dan dengan iktikad baik untuk menghapus postingan dari pandangan publik ke depannya, atau membuatnya anonim, sehingga Anda tidak dapat diidentifikasi secara individu, sejauh diwajibkan oleh hukum yang berlaku. Perlu diketahui bahwa permintaan tersebut tidak memastikan penghapusan konten atau informasi yang telah Anda posting secara lengkap atau menyeluruh dan bahwa mungkin ada keadaan di mana hukum tidak mengharuskan atau mengizinkan penghapusan bahkan jika diminta.

Ketika kami membagikan informasi pribadi Anda dengan mitra kami, perusahaan yang berafiliasi dengan Western Digital, dan penyedia layanan, informasi pribadi Anda dapat dialihkan ke dan/atau dapat diakses dari negara-negara di luar Wilayah Ekonomi Eropa atau Republik Rakyat Tiongkok. Dalam keadaan tersebut, kami akan mengadakan klausul kontrak model seperti yang dipakai oleh Komisi Eropa atau Administrasi Ruang Dunia Maya Tiongkok, sebagaimana berlaku, atau mengandalkan dasar hukum lain, dan menerapkan tindakan wajib untuk bertindak sesuai dengan undang-undang yang berlaku (misalnya, membuat sebuah proses untuk mengungkapkan informasi tambahan yang diperlukan kepada Anda saat mengalihkan informasi pribadi Anda keluar dari Republik Rakyat Tiongkok). Untuk beberapa layanan kami, informasi pribadi Anda dapat dialihkan ke dan/atau disimpan dan diproses di server yang berlokasi di Amerika Serikat, atau di lokasi lain di luar negara tempat Anda tinggal untuk tujuan menyediakan layanan kepada Anda.

Kami dapat mengubah Pernyataan Privasi ini secara berkala agar tetap sesuai dengan teknologi, praktik industri, dan ketentuan perundang-undangan baru, di antara alasan lainnya. Kami memperkirakan bahwa sebagian besar perubahan tersebut bersifat kecil. Segala perubahan nonmateri akan segera berlaku setelah Pernyataan Privasi yang telah diperbarui diposting, dan kami akan menunjukkan tanggal Terakhir Diubah di bagian atas dokumen ini. Namun, mungkin terdapat kasus di mana perubahan Pernyataan Privasi ini mungkin lebih signifikan. Dalam kasus tersebut, kami akan memberi Anda pemberitahuan penting tentang perubahan tersebut di situs web kami atau akan langsung mengirimi Anda pemberitahuan. 

Dengan terus menggunakan produk dan layanan kami setelah tanggal berlaku Pernyataan Privasi, Anda berarti menerima Pernyataan Privasi yang telah direvisi. Jika Anda tidak setuju dengan Pernyataan Privasi yang telah direvisi, harap berhenti menggunakan produk dan layanan kami dan Hubungi Kami untuk menutup akun yang mungkin telah Anda buat.

Jika ada pertanyaan tentang Pernyataan Privasi ini atau penerapannya, Anda dapat mengirim email kepada Petugas Perlindungan Data (DPO) kami di DPO@wdc.com. Anda dapat menghubungi kami melalui formulir web kami atau menuliskan ke kami di lokasi terdekat Anda melalui surat yang dialamatkan ke: U.P: Departemen Hukum - Pertanyaan Pernyataan Privasi.

• Sizinle iletişime geçme: Hesabınız, ürünler, hizmetler, işlemler veya politika ve koşullarımızdaki değişikliklerle ilgili olanlar dâhil olmak üzere önemli bildirimler konusunda sizinle iletişime geçmek ve sorularınıza yanıt vermek için kişisel bilgileri kullanabiliriz. Bu gibi bir bilgi işlemeyi sizinle akdettiğimiz sözleşmeyi ifa etmek için gerekli olması nedeniyle veya size ürün ve hizmetlerimizi sunmak amacıyla sizinle etkileşimde bulunma konusunda meşru menfaatimize dayanarak yaparız. Sizinle istihdam taleplerinizle ilgili olarak iletişime geçmek için de kişisel bilgileri kullanabiliriz. Başvuru sahipleri ve çalışanlara gönderdiğimiz gizlilik bildirimlerimiz, topladığımız kişisel bilgiler ve bu kişisel bilgileri istihdam taleplerinizle bağlantılı olarak nasıl kullandığımız konusunda ek bilgiler içerir. Önceden açık onayınızı almak kaydıyla size, Western Digital'ın kendi ürün ve hizmetleriyle ilgili pazarlama iletişimleri göndermek için kişisel bilgileri kullanabiliriz ve kişisel bilgilerinizi kendi ürün ve hizmetleriyle ilgili size pazarlama iletişimleri gönderebilecek üçüncü taraf ortaklarla paylaşabiliriz. Bundan böyle pazarlama amacıyla e-posta almak istemiyorsanız iletişimleri reddetmek için lütfen Bize Ulaşın. Bilgilerinizi, bize ulaştığınızda taleplerinizi işlemek ve cevaplamak için kullanabiliriz.
• Hedefli reklamlar ve hizmetler sunma ve bunları ölçme: Üçüncü taraf web siteleri ve uygulamaları üzerindekiler dâhil olmak üzere size kişiselleştirilmiş reklamlar sunmak ve tanıtım kampanyalarımızın etkinliğini belirlemek amacıyla da kişisel bilgileri kullanabiliriz.

Ürün ve hizmetlerimizi kullanmış veya veri tabanlarımızın biri veya daha fazlasında tanımlanmış olan kişilere (veya bu kişilere benzer kişilere) ulaşmak için hedef kitle eşleştirme yöntemini de kullanabiliriz. Bu, e-posta adreslerine karşılık gelen karma (hashing) işlemi uygulanmış dizelerden oluşan bir listeyi reklam ortağına vermemiz veya reklam ortağından aldığımız bir pikseli kendi ürün ve hizmetlerimize dâhil etmemiz ve reklam ortağının verilerimiz ile kendi verileri arasındaki ortak faktörleri eşleştirmesi yoluyla gerçekleşir.
• Güvenlik ve emniyeti arttırma: Kişisel bilgileri, hesapları ve kullanıcı faaliyetlerini doğrulamaya yardımcı olmanın yanı sıra dolandırıcılığın izlenmesi ve şüpheli veya potansiyel olarak yasa dışı faaliyetlerin veya koşul ve politikalarımıza ilişkin ihlallerin incelenmesi gibi yollarla güvenlik ve emniyeti arttırmak amacıyla da kullanabiliriz. Bu gibi bir bilgi işlemeyi sizinle akdettiğimiz sözleşmeyi ifa etmek için gerekli olması nedeniyle veya ürün ve hizmetlerimizin güvenliğini sağlamaya yardımcı olma konusunda meşru menfaatimize dayanarak yaparız.
• Ödemelerin işlenmesi: Ödeme işlemcimiz, ticari ve finansal bilgiler dahil olmak üzere kişisel bilgilerinizi, özellikle talep ettiğiniz bir ürün veya hizmetle ilgili ödemeleri ve işlem ücretlerini işlemek için kullanabilir.

Yukarıda açıklandığı üzere, verilerinizin yürürlükteki yasalar uyarınca önceden açık onayınızı gerektiren kullanımları ile ilgili olarak, web formumuz aracılığıyla bizimle iletişime geçerek onayınızı geri çekebileceğinizi unutmayın.

Global bir şirket olan Western Digital Corporation, farklı yetki bölgelerinde birçok kurumsal iştirake sahiptir. Bu iştiraklerin her biri, talep ettiğiniz ürün ve hizmetleri size sağlamada yardımcı olması için veri sorumlusu sıfatıyla kişisel bilgilerinizi toplar, işler ve nasıl işleyeceğini belirler.

Ürün ve hizmetlerimizi sunmak, korumak ve içeriği kişiselleştirme, kullanıcı davranışlarını anlama ve daha güvenli bir deneyim sunma gibi yollarla geliştirmek amacıyla çerezleri ve benzer teknolojileri kullanırız ve geçtiğimiz 12 ay içinde kullandık. Üçüncü taraf web siteleri ve uygulamaları üzerindekiler dâhil olmak üzere size kişiselleştirilmiş reklamlar sunmak ve tanıtım kampanyalarımızın etkinliğini belirlemek amacıyla da bu teknolojileri kullanabiliriz.

Yasal Uygunluk ve Güvenlik

Yasalar gereği veya yasal işlem, dava veya ikamet ettiğiniz ülke içinde veya dışındaki kamu makamları veya resmî makamlardan gelen talepler sonucunda kişisel bilgileri açıklamamız gerekebilir. Ayrıca ulusal güvenlik, emniyet güçleri veya kamu açısından önem arz eden diğer konular için açıklamanın gerekli veya uygun olduğunu belirlememiz hâlinde de kişisel bilgileri açıklayabiliriz.  Ayrıca haklarımızı korumak ve mevcut yasal yollara başvurmak, hüküm ve koşullarımızı uygulamak, dolandırıcılığı araştırmak veya faaliyetlerimizi veya kullanıcılarımızı korumak için açıklamanın makul surette gerekli olduğunu iyi niyetle belirlememiz hâlinde de kişisel bilgileri açıklayabiliriz.

Kişisel bilgilerinizin doğru, eksiksiz ve güncel olduğundan emin olmak için makul önlemleri alırız. Yaşadığınız yere bağlı olarak aşağıda açıklanan haklara sahip olabilirsiniz.

• Kişisel bilgilerin toplandığı kaynaklar, toplama amaçlarımız ve üçüncü tarafların pazarlama amaçları doğrultusunda üçüncü taraflarla her türlü paylaşım da dahil olmak üzere, kişisel bilgilerinizi paylaştığımız alıcı kategorileri dahil topladığımız kişisel bilgileri bilme hakkı

Geçerli haklarınızı kullanmak için web formumuzu doldurabilirsiniz. Talebinize yürürlükteki yasaların gerektirdiği zaman diliminde (ve genel olarak 30 gün içinde) yanıt vereceğiz.

Yasaların gerektirdiği şekilde ve kişisel bilgilerinizin gizliliğini ve güvenliğini korumak adına, kimliğinizi ve bu bilgilere erişme hakkınızı doğrulayabilmemiz ve ayrıca, edindiğimiz kişisel bilgileri aramamız ve size sağlamamız için sizden bilgi talep edebiliriz. Yürürlükteki yasaların veya düzenleyici gerekliliklerin bir talebi reddetmemize izin verdiği veya reddetmemizi gerektirdiği durumlar vardır.

Kaliforniya'da veya bu hakkı sağlayan başka bir eyalet veya yargı bölgesinde ikamet ediyorsanız bağlamlar arası davranışsal reklam faaliyetleri de dahil olmak üzere yukarıda açıklanan verilerinizin kullanımları doğrultusunda kişisel bilgilerinizin üçüncü taraflara satılmasını veya üçüncü taraflarla paylaşılmasını reddetmek için:

• Buradan erişebileceğiniz Kişisel Bilgilerin Satışını ve Paylaşılmasını Reddetme formunu kullanarak satışı (örneğin, aşağıdaki madde (2)'de belirtilen çerezler veya web izleme teknolojileri dışındaki yollarla hedef kitle eşleştirme amaçlarıyla bilgilerinizi ortaklarımızla paylaşma) reddetmek istediğinizi belirttiğiniz bir talep gönderin ve 
• Aşağıdaki alt bilgi bölümünde bulunan Çerez Tercihleri öğesine tıklayın, "Performans ve İşlevsellik" ve "Reklam" Çerez seçeneklerinin her ikisini de "Hayır" olarak değiştirin ve "Tercihleri Gönder" düğmesine tıklayın. Bu işlem, hedef kitle eşleştirme ve kişiselleştirilmiş reklam amaçlarıyla kullanılanlar dâhil olmak üzere web sitemizdeki performans, işlevsellik ve reklam çerezlerini ve web izleme teknolojilerini devre dışı bırakır. Bu çerezleri ve web izleme teknolojileri devre dışı bırakma tercihiniz yalnızca bağlantıya tıkladığınız tarayıcı için geçerli olabilir ve ayarlarınızı değiştirmeniz hâlinde tercihleriniz sıfırlanabilir.

Yetkili Temsilci: Bir temsilciye sizin adınıza talepte bulunması için tarafınızca imzalanmış yazılı bir izin verdiğiniz ve bu temsilci kimliğini bize doğrulayabildiği sürece, sizin adınıza talepte bulunması için bir temsilciye yetki verebilirsiniz.  Kaliforniya'da ikamet ediyorsanız ve böyle bir talepte bulunmak üzere temsilci atamak isterseniz temsilcinizin Kaliforniya Eyalet Sekreterine bu sıfatla kaydolması ve bu kaydın bir nüshasını doğrulanmış tüketici talebinizle birlikte göndermesi gerekmektedir. Lütfen yetkili temsilcinizin talepte bulunmak için yukarıdaki talimatları izlemesini sağlayın ve temsilciyi sizin adınıza yetkilendiren yazılı beyanınızı noterden tasdikli şekilde aşağıdaki adrese gönderin: Legal Department, 5601 Great Oaks Parkway, San Jose, California 95119 ABD.

Geçerli haklarınızı kullanmak için 888-914-9661 numaralı telefondan da bizimle iletişime geçebilirsiniz (PIN: 228663) ve yetkili veri koruma otoritesine kişisel bilgilerinizin işlenmesi hakkında şikâyette bulunabilirsiniz. Ayrıca, kişisel bilgilerinizin daha fazla işlenmesine itiraz edebilir veya bu işlemi kısıtlayabilir ve geçerli haklarınızın uygulanmasıyla ilgili kararlara itiraz edebilirsiniz. Geçerli haklarınızın uygulanmasıyla ilgili olarak size karşı ayrımcılık yapmayacağız.

Verilerinizi silmeyi talep ederseniz bu işlem sonucunda tüm Western Digital hesaplarına erişim imkanınız kaldırılır. Bilgilerinizi saklama zorunluluğumuz yoktur ve bilgilerinizin herhangi bir kısmını veya tamamını sorumluluk kabul etmeden silebiliriz. Bununla birlikte, dolandırıcılığı veya ileride gerçekleşebilecek kötüye kullanımları önlemek için gerekli olabileceğine inanmamız ya da yasaların gerektirmesi durumunda veya uygun olduğu durumlarda, kişisel olmayan bilgilerin analizi, hesap kurtarma, sistemlerimizin işlevselliğini veya güvenliğini koruma, kayıtlarımızın denetimi veya anlaşmalarımız kapsamındaki haklarımızı ve yükümlülüklerimizi yerine getirme gibi başka meşru nedenlerle sizinle ilgili bilgileri saklamaya devam edebiliriz.

Web sitelerimiz ve dijital medya varlıklarımız dâhil ürün ve hizmetlerimiz, üçüncü taraf web sitelerine, ürünlerine ve hizmetlerine erişmek için bağlantılar veya sizin erişiminize yetki içerebilir. Bu üçüncü taraflarca kullanılan gizlilik uygulamalarından ve ürün ve hizmetlerinin içerdiği bilgi veya içerikten sorumlu değiliz. Bu Gizlilik Bildirimi, yalnızca bizim tarafımızdan toplanan bilgiler için geçerlidir. Herhangi bir üçüncü tarafın web sitesini, ürünlerini veya hizmetlerini kullanmadan önce, gizlilik politikalarını okumanızı tavsiye ederiz.

Western Digital ürünleriniz, hesap bilgileriniz, bilgisayarlarınız veya diğer cihazlarınızı yetkisiz erişime karşı korumak amacıyla önlemler almanız önemlidir. Hesabınızın veya kişisel bilgilerinizin gizliliğinin ihlal edildiğini düşünüyorsanız lütfen vakit kaybetmeden Bize Ulaşın. Makul ve uygun fiziksel, elektronik ve prosedürel güvenlik önlemlerini sürdürme çabalarımıza rağmen hiçbir güvenlik sisteminin mutlak koruma sağlamadığını lütfen unutmayın. Herhangi bir güvenlik ihlali hâlinde, yasaların gerektirmesi durumunda sizi ve ilgili makamları vakit kaybetmeden bilgilendiririz.

Kişisel bilgilerinizi geçerli veri koruma yasalarına uygun olarak depolar, bu Gizlilik Bildiriminde belirtilen amaçları yerine getirmek için gerekli olduğu sürece veri saklama politikamıza uygun olarak saklar ve daha uzun bir saklama süresi gerekli olmadıkça veya yasalarca izin verilmedikçe silme politikamıza uygun olarak sileriz. Hassas Bilgiler, yalnızca amaçlandığı özel işlem için kullanılacak ve tarafımızca yalnızca işlemi tamamlamak için gereken süre boyunca veya kullanıcının izin verdiği başka bir süre boyunca saklanacaktır.

16 yaşın altındaki çocuklara ait bilgileri bilerek toplamaz, kullanmaz ve açıklamayız. 16 yaşın veya yargı bölgesine bağlı olarak eş değer minimum yaşın (örneğin ABD'de minimum yaş 13 ve Çin Halk Cumhuriyeti'nde (bu Gizlilik Bildirimi çerçevesinde Hong Kong Özel İdari Bölgesi, Makao Özel İdari Bölgesi ve Tayvan bölgesi hariç) 14'tür) altındaki bir çocuğun kişisel bilgilerini topladığımızı öğrenmemiz hâlinde mümkün olan en kısa sürede bu bilgileri silmek için gerekli adımları atarız. 16 yaşın altındaki bir çocuğun bize kişisel bilgiler verdiğinin farkına varırsanız lütfen hemen Bize Ulaşın.

Kaliforniya'da ikamet eden 18 yaşın altında biriyseniz ve ürünlerimizin veya hizmetlerimizin kayıtlı bir kullanıcısıysanız Kaliforniya yasaları size, kamuya açık olarak paylaştığınız içeriğin veya bilgilerin silinmesi talep etme ve sağlama iznini vermektedir. Böyle bir talepte bulunmak için, içeriğin veya bilgilerin nerede paylaşıldığına ilişkin bilgi ve bunun sizin tarafınızdan paylaşıldığına ilişkin beyan ile lütfen Bize Ulaşın. Bunun üzerine, yürürlükteki yasaların izin verdiği ölçüde, ilgili paylaşımı ileride herkes tarafından görülmemesi için kaldırmak veya bireysel olarak kimliğinizin tespit edilmesini önlemek üzere anonimleştirmek için makul, iyi niyetli çabaları göstereceğiz. Bu tür bir talebin, paylaşmış olduğunuz içeriğin veya bilginin tamamen veya kapsamlı şekilde kaldırılmasını garanti etmediğini ve talepte bulunsanız dahi yasaların içeriğin kaldırılmasını gerekli kılmadığı veya buna izin vermediği durumlar olabileceğini lütfen aklınızda bulundurun.

Kişisel bilgilerinizi iş ortaklarımızla, Western Digital iştiraki olan şirketlerle ve hizmet sağlayıcılarla paylaştığımızda, kişisel bilgileriniz Avrupa Ekonomik Alanı veya Çin Halk Cumhuriyeti dışındaki ülkelere de aktarılabilir ve/veya bu ülkelerden erişime açılabilir. Bu gibi durumlarda, uygun olduğu üzere Avrupa Komisyonu veya Çin Siber Uzay İdaresi'nin kabul ettiği örnek sözleşme maddelerini uygulayacak veya alternatif yasal dayanaklara başvuracak ve yürürlükteki yasalara uygun hareket etme konusunda zorunlu önlemler uygulayacağız (örneğin kişisel bilgilerinizi Çin Halk Cumhuriyeti dışına aktarırken size gerekli ek bilgileri açıklamaya yönelik bir süreç oluşturmak). Hizmetlerimizin bazılarını size sunabilmemiz için kişisel bilgileriniz ABD'de veya ikamet ettiğiniz ülkenin dışındaki diğer konumlarda bulunan sunuculara aktarılabilir ve/veya buralarda depolanabilir ve işlenebilir.

Yeni teknolojilere, sektör uygulamalarına ve yasal gerekliliklere ayak uydurmak gibi nedenlerle bu Gizlilik Bildiriminde belirli aralıklarla değişiklik yapabiliriz. Bunların genelde küçük çaplı değişiklikler olması beklenmektedir. Önemli olmayan değişiklikler güncellenmiş Gizlilik Bildirimi yayınlandığı an yürürlüğe girer ve Son Değiştirme tarihi bu belgenin en üst kısmında belirtilir. Bununla birlikte, bu Gizlilik Bildiriminde daha önemli değişiklikler olabilir. Söz konusu hâllerde size web sitemiz üzerinden yapılan değişiklikler konusunda açık bir bildirimde bulunur veya size doğrudan bir bilgilendirme göndeririz. 

Gizlilik Bildiriminin yürürlük tarihinden sonra ürün ve hizmetlerimizi kullanmaya devam etmeniz güncellenmiş Gizlilik Bildirimini kabul ettiğiniz anlamına gelir. Güncellenmiş Gizlilik Bildirimini kabul etmezseniz lütfen ürün ve hizmetlerimizi kullanmayın ve oluşturduğunuz tüm hesapları kapatmak için Bize Ulaşın.

Bu Gizlilik Bildirimine veya uygulanmasına ilişkin herhangi bir sorunuz varsa Veri Koruma Yetkilimize (DPO) DPO@wdc.com adresinden e-posta gönderebilirsiniz. Ayrıca web formumuz aracılığıyla bize ulaşabilir veya size en yakın konumda şu adrese e-posta göndererek bize yazabilirsiniz: DİKKATİNE: Hukuk Departmanı - Gizlilik Bildirimi Sorusu.
