OMRON ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS, LLC
BRAZIL PRIVACY POLICY
Updated October 11th, 2021
This Omron Electronic Components, LLC Brazil Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) explains how Omron Electronic Components, LLC (“Omron”, “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and discloses information that we obtain about you.
We will only use your personal information in accordance with this Policy unless otherwise required by applicable law. We take steps to ensure that the personal information that we collect about you is adequate, relevant, not excessive, and used for limited purposes.
Privacy laws in Brazil generally define “personal information” as any information about an identifiable individual, which includes information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person. This Policy applies when you use our website located at https://components.omron.com/ (the “Site”) and other online products and services that link to this Policy (collectively, our “Services”), contact our customer service team, engage with us on social media, or otherwise interact with us in Brazil.
This Policy DOES NOT apply to information that:
- We collect offline.
- You provide to or is collected by any third party (including our affiliates and subsidiaries).
Some Omron affiliates’ sites and services (e.g. Omron.com, Omronhealthcare.ca and automation.omron.com/en/ca/) are governed by that Omron affiliate’s own separate privacy policies and practices. All other websites, Services, or products made available by Omron or any third party will be governed by those respective privacy policies and practices.
Additionally, if you are from the United States, please review our US Privacy policy as shown in the website, not this one.
Your personal information may be transferred to and stored in a third party server outside of Brazil (see Transferring Your Personal Information).
Please read this Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices for collecting, processing, and storing your information.
