Your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the country in which you are resident.  These countries may have data protection and privacy laws that are different from the laws of your country.

However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal data will remain protected in accordance with this Notice. These include implementing the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal data between our group companies, which require all group companies to protect the personal data they process from the European Economic Area (EEA) in accordance with European Union data protection law. 

Additionally, Eaton Corporation (and its US affiliates listed below) complies with the EU-US and the Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework Principles (including the Supplemental Principles) as set forth by the US Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Union and/or Switzerland, respectively, to the United States.

Eaton Corporation has certified that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles of notice, choice, accountability for onward transfer, security, data integrity and purpose limitation, access, and recourse, enforcement and liability. If there is any conflict between the policies in this privacy notice and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern.

Eaton Corporation is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). In that regard, it certifies that it complies with the seven EU-US Privacy Shield Framework Principles set forth by the United States Department of Commerce, in relation to personal data collected in the European Union.
