We will apply the terms of our Privacy Notice to any Personal Data received from a third party, unless we have disclosed to you otherwise. Emerson is not responsible for these third parties’ dissemination of your Personal Data.

How We Use Your Personal Data 

Depending on the type of Relationship with us, we use your Personal Data for the following purposes, as permitted by applicable law:

• Purchases: We use your Contact Information and Payment Information to allow us to process and fulfill purchases you make through Your Relationship.

Legal Bases for the Processing and Consequences

We rely on the following legal grounds for the collection, processing, and use of your Personal Data:

• Legal Obligation: the processing is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations (e.g., complying with law or subpoenas);
• Legitimate Interest: the processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests or those of a third party (e.g., improving your experience with our websites and products) except where overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms that would require protection.

In general, the provision of your Personal Data is voluntary, but in certain cases it is necessary in order to enter into a contract with us or to receive our products or services as requested by you.

Personal Data Shared with Third Parties

We only share your Personal Data with companies, organizations and individuals outside of Emerson as described below or as described in a Specific Notice.

• Recipients within Emerson: Depending on the categories of Personal Data and the purposes for which the Personal Data has been collected, different Emerson entities and the internal departments within these entities may receive your Personal Data. For example, our IT department may have access to your account data, and our marketing and sales departments may have access to your account data or data relating to product orders. Moreover, other departments within Emerson may have access to certain Personal Data about you on a need-to-know basis, such as the legal and compliance department, the finance department or internal auditing.
• Emerson Affiliates: We share your Personal Data with Emerson’s affiliates and business partners that distribute our products, including our unaffiliated dealers, manufacturers and suppliers in order for these companies to contact you about their products, services or other offerings that may be of interest to you.
• Service Providers: We may share your Personal Data with companies that perform tasks on our behalf related to our business. Such tasks may include processing transactions, locational services, analyzing website or mobile application usage data, electronic and postal mail service, contests/surveys/sweepstakes administration, or marketing services. Third-party service providers receive your Personal Data as necessary to perform their role, and we instruct them not to use your Personal Data for any other purposes.
• As Required or Appropriate by Law: We will use or disclose your Personal Data if required or authorized by applicable law as necessary to (without limitation) comply with legal processes or respond to requests from government authorities, enforce our terms and conditions or investigate violations of them, to detect, prevent or address fraud, security or technical issues, or to protect our operations or those of our affiliates, protect the rights and safety of Emerson, its affiliates or individuals.
• Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell, buy, merge or reorganize brands, stores, subsidiaries or business units. In this regard, we may share your Personal Data with a third party in such transactions if and to the extent permitted by applicable law. Customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets, but remains subject to any preexisting applicable Privacy Notice.

We may share aggregated data that has been anonymized or pseudonymized (so that you are not identified) with third parties – like publishers, advertisers or connected websites – and may make this data publicly available or use it for any purpose.

Disclosure or Sale of Personal Data

The following table identifies the categories of Personal Data that we disclosed for a business purpose to service providers or sold to third parties in the 12 months preceding the “Last revised” of this Privacy Notice and, for each category, the category of service providers or third parties to whom the Personal Data was sold or disclosed:

Public Forums

Our websites may offer publicly accessible blogs, message boards, or community forums. You should be aware that any information you provide in these areas may be read, collected, and used by others who access them.

Links to Social Networking and other Third-Party Websites

Our services may contain links to social networking and other websites and mobile applications that are operated and controlled by third parties. While we try to link only to websites that share our high standards and respect for privacy, we do not take responsibility for the content, or the privacy practices employed by other websites. Unless otherwise stated, any Personal Data you provide to any such third-party website will be collected by that party and not by us and will be subject to that party’s privacy policy (if any), rather than this Privacy Notice. In such a situation, we will have no control over, and shall not be responsible for, that party’s use of the Personal Data you provide to them.

Security

We maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your Personal Data, including assuring that third-party service providers who access or handle Personal Data on our behalf and affiliates maintain such safeguards. We seek to encrypt credit card numbers from e-commerce transactions conducted on our websites using secure socket layer ("SSL") technology.

However, no method of Internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure or error-free, so it is not possible to guarantee absolute security. You must protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer, and be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (e.g., if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please immediately notify us by emailing [email protected] or by calling us at +1.314.679.8984.

Where we have given you or you have chosen a password which enables you to access certain portions of our websites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. You should not share your password with anyone.

International Data Flows 

As Emerson is a global organization, the Personal Data that we collect or receive about you may be transferred to and/or processed in accordance with applicable law by entities that are located inside or outside the local jurisdiction it is collected in. The laws of these jurisdictions may differ from the laws of your country. Regardless, we take necessary measures to ensure that transfers out of the local jurisdiction are adequately protected as required by applicable data protection laws, such as adopting the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or another safeguard to enable the transfer in accordance with applicable law. You can ask for a copy of such appropriate safeguards by contacting us as stated above under the section Contacting Us.

Your Choices and Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have certain rights in relation to your Personal Data, as described below. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information provided in the Contacting Us section above.

• Right to Access, Correct, Update and Portability: You may have the right to obtain from us confirmation as to whether or not Personal Data concerning you is being processed, and, where that is the case, to request access to the Personal Data. You may have the right to obtain a copy of the Personal Data undergoing processing in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and you may have the right to transmit the data to another entity without hinderance from us. For further copies requested by you, we may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs. In the event Personal Data concerning you is inaccurate, you may have the right to have it corrected, and in some cases completed by means of providing a supplementary statement.
• Deletion: Under certain circumstances, you may have the right to obtain from us the erasure of Personal Data concerning you and we may be obliged to erase such Personal Data.
• Objection to or Restriction of Processing: Under certain circumstances, you may have the right to object to the processing of your Personal Data by us, or request that we restrict the processing of your Personal Data. In such case, the respective data will be marked and may only be processed by us for certain specific purposes, or not at all (especially in the case of profiling to better understand your interests or for marketing). Furthermore, under certain circumstances with respect to automated individual decision-making, you have the right to obtain human intervention, express your point of view, and contest the decision. You also may have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority.
• Opt out: In case you have given us your consent for direct marketing purposes (e.g., you actively subscribed to our newsletters) you can withdraw your consent with future effect by contacting us. You may also have the right to opt-out of the sale of certain types of personal information under applicable law.

Please note that requests to exercise your rights with us may be subject to verification of the identity of the requester. How we verify your identity will depend on the manner and context in which your data was collected. You may be entitled to use an authorized agent to exercise your rights on your behalf, and if you choose to do so, the agent will be required to verify both their identity and their authority to act on your behalf.

How long we keep your data

Once you have ended Your Relationship with us, we will either delete or anonymize your Personal Data, unless a statutory retention requirement applies (e.g. for tax purposes, compliance with laws or in regards to a legal claim). To the extent possible, we will restrict the processing of your Personal Data for such limited purposes after the termination of Your Relationship and on a need-to-know basis only.

We utilize Google reCAPTCHA, which is a free service that protects websites from spam and abuse using advanced risk analysis techniques to tell humans and bots apart. Google reCAPTCHA works differently depending on what version is deployed. For example, you may be asked to check a box indicating that you are not a robot or Google reCAPTCHA may detect abusive traffic without user interaction. Google reCAPTCHA works by transmitting certain types of information to Google, such as the referrer URL, IP address, visitor behavior, operating system information, browser and length of the visit, cookies, and mouse movements. Your use of Google reCAPTCHA is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. More information as to Google reCAPTCHA and how it works is available here.
