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 do so with your consent, for compliance with a legal obligation, for the performance of a contract with you, or for our legitimate interests, to the extent permitted by applicable laws. SanDisk Technologies, Inc. collects, processes, and determines how to process your personal information as data controller for the following purposes:

• 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. Some of these activities have additional rules, which may contain further information about how we use personal information, so we encourage you to read those rules carefully before participating.
• 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. Subject to your prior express consent, we may use personal information to send you marketing communications in relation to SanDisk’s own products and services, and we may share your personal information with third-party partners who may send you marketing communications in relation to their products and services.

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. Such processing is undertaken because it is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or is based on our legitimate interest in helping to ensure the safety of our products and services.
• Payment processing: Our payment processor may use your personal information, including commercial, and financial information, specifically for processing payments and transaction fees related to a product or service you have requested.

As a global company, SanDisk Technologies, Inc. has a number of corporate affiliates in different jurisdictions. Each of these affiliates collects, processes, and determines how to process your personal information as a data controller to help provide you with the products and services you request.

We use and have used within the preceding 12 months cookies and similar technologies to provide, protect, and improve our products and services, such as by personalizing content, understanding user behavior, and providing a safer  experience. We also use these technologies to provide you with personalized advertisements, including on third-party  websites and applications, and to determine the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns.

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 SanDisk 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, 951 Sandisk Drive, Milpitas, California 95035 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 844-441-9869 (PIN: 892274) 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 SanDisk 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 SanDisk 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, SanDisk Corporation-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. To the extent we process de-identified information, we will maintain and use the information in de-identified form.

• 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.

Each of these affiliates collects, processes, and determines how to process your personal information as a data controller to help provide you with the products and services you request.

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.

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, 951 Sandisk Drive, Milpitas, California 95035 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 844-441-9869 (PIN: 892274) 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 SanDisk 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 SanDisk 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, SanDisk Corporation-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 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, SanDisk Corporation-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.

• 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.

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.

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 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 SanDisk 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.

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 SanDisk 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, SanDisk Corporation-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.

Εξουσιοδοτημένος εκπρόσωπος: Μπορείτε να εξουσιοδοτήσετε έναν εκπρόσωπο να υποβάλει ένα αίτημα για λογαριασμό σας. Επομένως, αρκεί να χορηγήσετε στον εξουσιοδοτημένο εκπρόσωπό σας ρητή και υπογεγραμμένη άδεια για την υποβολή αιτήματος εκ μέρους σας, και να είναι δυνατή η επαλήθευση της ταυτότητάς του.  Εάν κατοικείτε στην Καλιφόρνια και θέλετε να ορίσετε έναν εκπρόσωπο για τους σκοπούς της υποβολής ενός αιτήματος, ο εκπρόσωπός σας πρέπει να εγγραφεί στο Υπουργείο Εσωτερικών της Καλιφόρνια και να προσκομίσει ένα αντίγραφο της εν λόγω εγγραφής μαζί με το σχετικό επαληθευμένο αίτημα του καταναλωτή.

Δεν έχουμε καμία υποχρέωση να διατηρήσουμε τις πληροφορίες σας και ενδέχεται να διαγράψουμε το σύνολο ή μέρος των πληροφοριών σας χωρίς καμία ευθύνη. 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. Δεν είμαστε υπεύθυνοι για τις πρακτικές προστασίας απορρήτου που χρησιμοποιούν οι εν λόγω τρίτοι, ούτε φέρουμε ευθύνη για τις πληροφορίες ή το περιεχόμενο που περιέχουν τα προϊόντα και οι υπηρεσίες τους. Η παρούσα Δήλωση Ιδιωτικού Απορρήτου ισχύει αποκλειστικά για τις πληροφορίες που συλλέγουμε εμείς. Σας προτρέπουμε να διαβάσετε τις πολιτικές απορρήτου οποιωνδήποτε τρίτων μερών προτού προχωρήσετε στη χρήση των ιστοτόπων, των προϊόντων ή των υπηρεσιών τους.

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 Company 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.

Για πελάτες στην Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση, έχουμε καταχωρήσει τον ΥΠΔ μας στην Ιρλανδική Επιτροπή Προστασίας Δεδομένων.

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.

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:

• 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, 951 Sandisk Drive, Milpitas, California 95035 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 844-441-9869 (PIN: 892274) 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 SanDisk 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 SanDisk 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, SanDisk Corporation-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.

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

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, 951 Sandisk Drive, Milpitas, California 95035 USA Als uw gemachtigde agent een volmacht heeft, hoeven deze stappen mogelijk niet te worden uitgevoerd.

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 Company-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 Company-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 Company 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@sandisk.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.

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 SanDisk 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 SanDisk products, account credentials, and computers or other devices.

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, SanDisk Corporation-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.

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, 951 Sandisk Drive, Milpitas, California 95035 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 844-441-9869 (PIN: 892274) 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 SanDisk 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 SanDisk 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, SanDisk Corporation-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.

Naše produkty a služby, což zahrnuje také naše webové stránky a majetek ve formě digitálního multimediálního obsahu, mohou obsahovat odkazy na weby, produkty a služby třetích stran nebo vám mohou umožnit k nim přistupovat.

Doporučujeme vám, abyste si přečetli zásady ochrany osobních údajů třetích stran ještě předtím, než začnete jejich weby, produkty či služby používat.

Je důležité, abyste předcházeli neoprávněnému přístupu k vašim produktům společnosti Company, k přihlašovacím údajům, počítačům a dalším zařízením.

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

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

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

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 Company 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 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.

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, SanDisk Corporation-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.

Wir unternehmen angemessene Schritte, um sicherzustellen, dass Ihre personenbezogenen Daten korrekt, vollständig und aktuell sind. Je nach Ihrem Wohnort haben Sie möglicherweise die unten beschriebenen Rechte.

Wie gesetzlich vorgeschrieben und zum Schutz der Daten und der Sicherheit Ihrer personenbezogenen Daten verlangen wir möglicherweise Angaben von Ihnen, um Ihre Identität und Ihr Recht auf Zugang zu solchen Daten zu bestätigen, sowie um die von uns verwalteten, personenbezogenen Daten zu finden und sie Ihnen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Es gibt Fälle, in denen das geltende Recht oder behördliche Vorgaben es erlauben oder sogar verlangen, dass wir eine Anfrage ablehnen.

Wenn Sie in Kalifornien oder einem anderen Staat oder einer anderen Gerichtsbarkeit ansässig sind, wo dieses Recht vorgesehen ist, können Sie dem Verkauf oder der Weitergabe Ihrer personenbezogenen Daten durch uns an Dritte für die Nutzung Ihrer oben beschriebenen Daten, einschließlich kontextübergreifender, verhaltensbezogener Werbung, widersprechen:

• Reichen Sie einen entsprechenden Antrag über das Formular „Widerspruch zum Verkauf oder zur Weitergabe meiner personenbezogenen Daten“ ein, das Sie hierfinden. Erklären Sie dabei, dass Sie dem Verkauf widersprechen möchten (etwa der Weitergabe Ihrer Daten an unsere Partner zum Zwecke des Zielgruppenabgleichs mithilfe anderer Technologien als Cookies oder Webtracking, wie unter (2) erwähnt). 
• Klicken Sie dann in der Fußzeile auf Cookie-Einstellungen und schalten Sie die Cookie-Optionen „Leistung und Funktionalität“ sowie „Werbung“ beide auf „Nein“ und klicken Sie auf „Auswahl speichern“. Damit werden Leistungs-, Funktionalitäts- und Werbe-Cookies sowie Webtracking-Technologien auf unserer Website deaktiviert, einschließlich Technologien zum Zielgruppenabgleich und personalisierte Werbung. Die Deaktivierung dieser Cookies und Webtracking-Technologien greift möglicherweise nur für den Browser, in dem Sie den Link anklicken. Möglicherweise wird Ihre Auswahl auch zurückgesetzt, wenn Sie Ihre Einstellungen ändern.

Bevollmächtigter Vertreter: Sie können auch einen Vertreter bevollmächtigen, eine Anfrage in Ihrem Namen zu senden. Der bevollmächtigte Vertreter benötigt jedoch eine schriftliche und von Ihnen unterzeichnete Erlaubnis, in Ihrem Namen eine Anfrage stellen zu dürfen. Zudem muss uns Ihr bevollmächtigter Vertreter seine Identität nachweisen können.  Wenn Sie in Kalifornien ansässig sind und einen Vertreter für die Antragstellung benennen möchten, muss sich Ihr Vertreter als solcher beim kalifornischen Außenministerium registrieren lassen und eine Kopie dieser Registrierung zusammen mit Ihrem überprüften Verbraucherantrag einreichen. Ihr bevollmächtigter Vertreter muss die obigen Anweisungen befolgen, um einen Antrag zu stellen. Zudem bitten wir Sie um Zusendung Ihrer durch einen Notar beglaubigten schriftlichen Erklärung, die den Vertreter ermächtigt, in Ihrem Namen zu handeln, an folgende Anschrift: Legal Department, 951 Sandisk Drive, Milpitas, California 95035 USA. Wenn Ihr bevollmächtigter Vertreter eine Vollmacht besitzt, sind diese Schritte möglicherweise nicht erforderlich.

Sie können uns auch telefonisch erreichen unter 844-441-9869 (PIN: 892274), um Ihre geltenden Rechte auszuüben. Des Weiteren können Sie bei der zuständigen Datenschutzbehörde eine Beschwerde bezüglich der Verarbeitung Ihrer personenbezogenen Daten einreichen. Sie können auch der weiteren Verarbeitung Ihrer personenbezogenen Daten widersprechen oder diese einschränken und gegen jegliche Entscheidungen, die die Ausübung Ihrer geltenden Rechte betreffen, Widerspruch einlegen. Wir werden Sie nicht wegen der Ausübung Ihrer geltenden Rechte anders behandeln.

Wenn Sie die Löschung Ihrer Daten beantragen, würde Ihnen dies den Zugriff auf jegliche Company Konten verwehren. In diesem Falle sind wir nicht verpflichtet, Ihre Daten aufzubewahren und können einige oder all Ihre Daten ohne Haftbarkeitsansprüche löschen. Wir können jedoch Daten von Ihnen aufbewahren, wenn wir der Meinung sind, dass dies notwendig ist, um Betrug oder künftigen Missbrauch zu verhindern. Dies geschieht jedoch nur, wenn wir gesetzlich dazu verpflichtet sind oder ggf. für legitime Zwecke, wie z. B. zur Analyse nicht personenbezogener Daten, zur Kontowiederherstellung, zur Gewährleistung der Funktionalität oder Sicherheit unserer Systeme, zur Prüfung unserer Aufzeichnungen oder zur Durchsetzung unserer Rechte und Pflichten im Rahmen unserer Vereinbarungen.

Unsere Produkte und Dienste, einschließlich unsere Websites und digitalen Medieninhalte, können Links zu oder die Möglichkeit zum Zugriff auf Drittanbieter-Websites, -Produkte und -Dienste beinhalten. Wir tragen keine Verantwortung für die Datenschutzverfahren dieser Drittanbieter oder die Daten oder Inhalte, die deren Produkte und Dienste enthalten. Diese Datenschutzerklärung gilt ausschließlich für die Daten, die wir erfassen. Wir empfehlen Ihnen, die Datenschutzerklärungen jeglicher Drittanbieter zu lesen, bevor Sie deren Websites, Produkte oder Dienste nutzen.

Wenn wir personenbezogene Daten an unsere Partner, verbundene Unternehmen von Company oder Dienstleistungsunternehmen weitergeben, können Ihre personenbezogenen Daten in Länder außerhalb des Europäischen Wirtschaftsraums oder der Volksrepublik China übertragen und/oder von dort aus zugänglich gemacht werden. Unter diesen Umständen werden wir die von der Europäischen Kommission bzw. den chinesischen Cyberspace-Behörden übernommenen Standardvertragsklauseln verwenden oder uns auf andere Rechtsgrundlagen stützen. Zudem werden wir verbindliche Maßnahmen ergreifen, die dafür sorgen, dass gemäß geltendem Recht gehandelt wird (z. B. ein Verfahren einrichten, um Ihnen bei der Übermittlung Ihrer personenbezogenen Daten aus der Volksrepublik China heraus zusätzliche erforderliche Daten mitzuteilen). Für einige unserer Dienste können Ihre personenbezogenen Daten auf Server in den USA oder anderen Standorten außerhalb des Landes, in dem Sie wohnen, übertragen oder dort gespeichert werden, um Ihnen die Dienste anbieten zu können.

Wir erfassen, verwenden oder teilen wissentlich keine Daten von Minderjährigen unter 16 Jahren. Wenn wir erfahren, dass wir personenbezogene Daten von Minderjährigen unter 16 Jahren erfasst haben – oder je nach Gerichtsbarkeit einem vergleichbaren Mindestalter, z. B. 13 Jahre in den USA oder 14 Jahre in der Volksrepublik China (was in dieser Datenschutzerklärung die SVR Hongkong, SVR Macao und Region Taiwan ausschließt) –, werden wir alle notwendigen Maßnahmen ergreifen, um diese Daten so schnell wie möglich zu löschen. Wenn Sie erfahren, dass Minderjährige unter 16 Jahren uns gegenüber personenbezogene Daten angegeben haben, kontaktieren Sie uns bitte umgehend.

Wenn Sie Einwohner Kaliforniens sowie unter 18 Jahre alt sind und ein registrierter Benutzer unserer Produkte und Dienste sind, haben Sie laut kalifornischen Gesetzen das Recht, die Löschung von Inhalten oder Informationen, die Sie veröffentlicht haben, zu erwirken. Um einen solchen Antrag zu stellen, kontaktieren Sie uns bitte und teilen Sie uns mit, wo die Inhalte oder Daten veröffentlicht wurden, und bestätigen Sie, dass Sie sie veröffentlicht haben. Wir unternehmen dann im gesetzlich vorgeschriebenen Rahmen angemessene Bemühungen, um den Beitrag aus der Öffentlichkeit zu entfernen oder so zu anonymisieren, dass er nicht auf eine einzelne Person zurückgeführt werden kann. Bitte beachten Sie, dass eine solche Anfrage nicht die vollständige oder umfassende Entfernung der Inhalte oder Informationen sicherstellt, die Sie veröffentlicht haben. Es kann Umstände geben, in denen die Löschung auch auf Anfrage hin gesetzlich nicht vorgeschrieben oder zulässig ist.

Wenn wir personenbezogene Daten an unsere Partner, verbundene Unternehmen von Company oder Dienstleistungsunternehmen weitergeben, können Ihre personenbezogenen Daten in Länder außerhalb des Europäischen Wirtschaftsraums oder der Volksrepublik China übertragen und/oder von dort aus zugänglich gemacht werden. Unter diesen Umständen werden wir die von der Europäischen Kommission bzw. den chinesischen Cyberspace-Behörden übernommenen Standardvertragsklauseln verwenden oder uns auf andere Rechtsgrundlagen stützen. Zudem werden wir verbindliche Maßnahmen ergreifen, die dafür sorgen, dass gemäß geltendem Recht gehandelt wird (z. B. ein Verfahren einrichten, um Ihnen bei der Übermittlung Ihrer personenbezogenen Daten aus der Volksrepublik China heraus zusätzliche erforderliche Daten mitzuteilen). Für einige unserer Dienste können Ihre personenbezogenen Daten auf Server in den USA oder anderen Standorten außerhalb des Landes, in dem Sie wohnen, übertragen oder dort gespeichert werden, um Ihnen die Dienste anbieten zu können.

Wir ändern diese Datenschutzerklärung möglicherweise von Zeit zu Zeit, um unter anderem neue Technologien und Verfahren der Branche sowie aufsichtsbehördliche Vorgaben mit einzubeziehen. Wir gehen davon aus, dass der Großteil dieser Änderungen geringfügig sein wird. Alle unwesentlichen Änderungen werden unmittelbar nach Veröffentlichung einer aktualisierten Datenschutzerklärung wirksam, wobei das Datum der letzten Änderung dieses Dokuments oben angegeben wird. Es kann jedoch Fälle geben, in denen wir wesentliche Änderungen an dieser Datenschutzerklärung vornehmen. In solchen Fällen werden wir Sie auf unserer Website deutlich auf solche Änderungen hinweisen oder Ihnen direkt eine Mitteilung senden. 

Bei Weiterverwendung unserer Produkte und Dienste nach dem Inkrafttreten der Datenschutzerklärung erklären Sie sich automatisch mit der geänderten Datenschutzerklärung einverstanden. Wenn Sie mit der geänderten Datenschutzerklärung nicht einverstanden sind, verzichten Sie bitte auf die Weiterverwendung unserer Produkte oder Dienste und kontaktieren Sie uns, um jegliche von Ihnen erstellte Konten zu schließen.

Falls Sie Fragen zu dieser Datenschutzerklärung oder ihrer Umsetzung haben, können Sie sich unter DPO@sandisk.com an unseren Datenschutzbeauftragen (DPO) wenden. Sie können uns auch über unser Webformular erreichen oder uns an folgende Adresse einen Brief an einen Standort in Ihrer Nähe schreiben: Z. Hd.: Rechtsabteilung – Frage Zur Datenschutzerklärung.

If you request to delete your data, this would remove your ability to access any SanDisk 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 SanDisk products, account credentials, and computers or other devices.

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, SanDisk Corporation-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.

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

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.

• Right to know the personal information that we collect, including the sources from which the personal information is collected, our purpose(s) for collection, and the categories of recipients with whom we have shared your personal information, including any sharing with third parties for their own marketing purposes
• Right to access, in a structured and standard format, the personal information that we process about you
• Right to delete your personal information
• Right to opt-out of the sale or share of your personal information to third parties
• Right to opt-out of targeted advertising, including the sharing of your personal information to third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising

• Right to correct or rectify any inaccurate information concerning you

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, 951 Sandisk Drive, Milpitas, California 95035 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 844-441-9869 (PIN: 892274) 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 SanDisk 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 SanDisk 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, SanDisk Corporation-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.

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.

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.

Cuando compartimos su información personal con nuestros socios, empresas afiliadas a Company 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.

È importante che l'utente adotti tutte le precauzioni necessarie per tutelarsi contro accessi non autorizzati ai propri prodotti Company, 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 Company tramite i Contatti.

Qualora Company 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.

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 Company 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.

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 SanDisk 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 SanDisk products, account credentials, and computers or other devices.

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, SanDisk Corporation-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.

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

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

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.

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 Company. 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 Company, 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 Company 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.

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

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

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:

• 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, 951 Sandisk Drive, Milpitas, California 95035 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 844-441-9869 (PIN: 892274) 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 SanDisk 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 SanDisk 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, SanDisk Corporation-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.

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, 951 Sandisk Drive, Milpitas, California 95035 USA.

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 SanDisk 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 SanDisk products, account credentials, and computers or other devices.

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, SanDisk Corporation-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.

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”. 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, 951 Sandisk Drive, Milpitas, California 95035 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 844-441-9869 (PIN: 892274) 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 SanDisk 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 SanDisk 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, SanDisk Corporation-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.

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 SanDisk 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, SanDisk Corporation-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.
