e) Unaffiliated service providers with whom Nordson may subcontract, such as website hosting companies, and other third-party service providers.
f) Unaffiliated partner organisations with whom we may carry out joint marketing campaigns or events, or operate the website on which information about you is collected. In certain circumstances, those organisations may be independent data controllers or joint data controllers of your information, together with the Nordson Corporation affiliate.

Nordson’s purchasers

Nordson may transfer your personal data to potential purchasers and their advisors, subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations, in the event Nordson decides to dispose of all or parts of its business.  Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them.  If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy notice.

Lawful bases for sharing your personal data

c) Legitimate Interest: We share or disclose your personal data within the Nordson Corporation group of companies because it is in our legitimate interests to do so for group-wide internal management. You have a right to object to sharing your personal data within the Nordson Corporation group of companies. If you do, please send email us at nordson.privacy@nordson.com; Subject Line: Opt Out.

d) Legal Obligation: We disclose your personal data to third parties, e.g. companies outside Nordson, when we use those third parties to provide you Nordson products or services, or if we use their services or products to manage our contact databases or internal management systems.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

Click here to find out more about the types of lawful basis that Nordson will rely on to process your personal data.
 
(v) Transfers of personal data outside the EU/European Economic Area

Many of our external third parties are based outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.
 
If and when transferring your personal data outside the EEA (which consists of EU member states and Iceland, Lichtenstein and Norway), we will only do so using one of the following safeguards:

(A) the transfer is to a non-EEA country which has an adequacy decision by the EU Commission European Commission: Adequacy of the protection of personal data in non-EU countries.

(B) the transfer is covered by a contractual agreement, which covers the GDPR requirements relating to transfers to countries outside the EEA European Commission: Model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries.

(C) the transfer is to an organisation which has Binding Corporate Rules approved by an EU data protection authority.

(D) the transfer is to an organisation in the US that is EU-US Privacy Shield certified European Commission: EU-US Privacy Shield.

Nordson Corporation has EU-US Privacy Shield in place as an appropriate safeguard for international transfers.
 
You may request a copy of these agreements by contacting us using the email address in the Section 3 above. Please Contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.
 
(vi) How long will your personal data be kept by Nordson?

Nordson will only retain your personal data for as long as you want to receive marketing materials from us.   If you decide to opt out or withdraw your consent to our marketing we will no longer use your personal data for these purposes.  

Otherwise, Nordson will retain your business contact details for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out Section 6.7(iii) above (e.g. to carry out our relationship with you). 

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

7 DATA SECURITY  

7.1 We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, use or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

7.2 We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

8 YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS  

8.1 Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. 

8.2 These rights are not absolute and are subject to various conditions under: 

applicable data protection and privacy legislation; and 

the laws and regulations to which we are subject

8.3 Please refer to the bullets below to find out more about these rights:
 
· Request access to your personal data -  Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

· Request correction of your personal data - Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

· Request erasure of your personal data - Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

· Request restriction of processing your personal data - Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

· Request transfer of your personal data - Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

· Object to processing of your personal data - Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

· Right to withdraw consent - Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

Please Contact us if you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above. 

9 MARKETING  

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising. We have established the following personal data control mechanisms:
 
Promotional Offers From Us  

9.1 We may use your identity, contact, technical, usage and profile data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).

9.2 You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or purchased goods from us, or if you provided us with your details when you entered a competition or registered for a promotion and gave us your consent, and, in each case, you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.

Third-Party Marketing  

9.3 We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any third party outside the Nordson Corporation group of companies for marketing purposes.

Opting Out  

9.4 You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by logging into the website and checking or unchecking relevant boxes to adjust your marketing preferences or by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you, by contacting us using the email address in the Section 3 above; Subject Line: Opting Out.

9.5 Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a product purchase, warranty registration, product experience or other transactions.

10 COOKIES  

10.1 You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. You can also disable or refuse cookies on Nordson’s website, please note that some parts of this website may become inaccessible or not function properly. For more information about the cookies we use, please see our cookie notice.
 
11 CHANGE OF PURPOSE  

11.1 We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us using the email address in the Section 3  above.

11.2 If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis that allows us to do so.

11.3 Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required, or permitted by law.
 
12 GLOSSARY  

12.1 Legitimate Interest means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service/product and the best and most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us using the email address in the Section 3 above.

12.2 Performance of Contract means processing your data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.

12.3 Comply with a legal or regulatory obligation means processing your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation that we are subject to.
