We do not disclose Personal Data for third-party marketing purposes. Any sharing of Personal Data is done in accordance with applicable laws and only for legitimate business, operational, or legal reasons, as described below:

  1. Internal Disclosures Within Westinghouse

    In the event of a potential or actual business transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, joint venture, divestiture, reorganization, or sale of assets, Westinghouse may transfer Personal Data to relevant third parties involved in the transaction. In such cases:
    • We will ensure that the receiving parties commit to providing data protection standards comparable to those upheld by Westinghouse.
    • Personal Data will be disclosed only to the extent necessary to support due diligence, transaction execution, or post-transaction integration.

International Data Transfers

As a global organization, Westinghouse operates in multiple jurisdictions and may transfer Personal Data across international borders to support business operations, service delivery, and internal processes. These transfers may involve countries whose data protection laws differ from those in the country where the data was originally collected.

  1. Transfers Within the Westinghouse Group

    Personal Data may be shared among Westinghouse entities located in various countries. These intra-group transfers are governed by binding contractual arrangements, including intra-group data transfer agreements, which require all Westinghouse entities to uphold a consistent and adequate level of data protection, regardless of location. Access to Personal Data is strictly limited to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis and only for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Statement.

  2. Transfers to Third Countries and External Recipients

    Where Personal Data is transferred to third parties or service providers located in countries that do not offer an adequate level of data protection (as defined by applicable laws), Westinghouse implements appropriate safeguards to ensure the protection of your data. These safeguards may include:

    • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission
    • Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) with robust security and privacy obligations
    • Technical and organizational measures to protect data during transit and at rest
  3. Compliance with EU/EEA Data Protection Requirements

    If you are located in the European Union (“EU”) or European Economic Area (“EEA”), Westinghouse ensures that any transfer of Personal Data outside the EU/EEA complies with applicable legal requirements. This includes the use of EU Standard Contractual Clauses, which provide a recognized legal mechanism for ensuring adequate protection of Personal Data transferred to countries outside the EU/EEA.

    Where required, Westinghouse may also rely on UK-approved transfer mechanisms, transfer impact assessments, supplementary safeguards, or other lawful transfer mechanisms recognized under applicable data protection laws.

  4. Transparency and Contact

    Westinghouse is committed to transparency regarding international data transfers. If you would like more information about the safeguards we have in place to protect your Personal Data during international transfers, please contact us at: dataprivacy@westinghouse.com

Retention of Personal Data

Westinghouse retains Personal Data collected through its Websites only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as otherwise permitted or required by applicable laws and regulations.

We retain Personal Data based on the following criteria:

  • Purpose of collection: Data is retained for the duration necessary to fulfill the specific purpose outlined in this Privacy Statement or at the point of collection (e.g., account management, service delivery, legal compliance).
  • Legal basis: Where a lawful basis exists for retaining Personal Data beyond its original purpose—such as compliance with legal obligations, regulatory requirements, or the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims—we will retain the data accordingly.

Because retention periods vary based on the type of Personal Data, the purpose for which it was collected, applicable legal or regulatory obligations, contractual requirements, and whether the information is needed to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, we use documented retention criteria to determine how long information is kept. When Personal Data is no longer needed, we delete, anonymize, or de-identify it in accordance with our retention practices and applicable law.

If you have questions about our data retention practices or wish to request deletion of your Personal Data, please contact us at dataprivacy@westinghouse.com.

Data Minimization and Anonymization

In certain circumstances, we may anonymize or de-identify your Personal Data so that it can no longer be associated with you. Once anonymized, the data is no longer considered Personal Data under applicable laws and may be used for legitimate business purposes, including analytics, research, and service improvement, without further notice or consent.

Westinghouse maintains de-identified data in its anonymized form and does not attempt to re-identify individuals, except for the limited purpose of verifying the effectiveness of our de-identification processes.

Security of Personal Data

Westinghouse is committed to protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Personal Data. We have implemented a comprehensive set of physical, technical, and organizational security measures designed to safeguard Personal Data against accidental loss, unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, and disclosure.

These measures include, but are not limited to:

  • Data encryption (in transit and at rest)
  • Pseudonymization and anonymization techniques
  • Logical and physical access controls
  • Firewall protection and intrusion detection systems
  • System integrity testing and recovery protocols

Employee and Third-Party Accountability

Westinghouse employees receive regular training on data protection principles and are required to handle Personal Data in accordance with applicable laws and internal policies. All personnel are bound by confidentiality obligations and data secrecy requirements.

Access to Personal Data is strictly limited to individuals—whether employees, contractors, agents, or service providers, who have a legitimate business need to access such data. Third-party vendors and suppliers are contractually obligated to:

  • Implement appropriate security safeguards
  • Process Personal Data only under Westinghouse’s instructions
  • Maintain compliance with applicable data protection laws and standards

We continuously monitor and update our security practices to address emerging threats and ensure the ongoing protection of Personal Data.
