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.

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.

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.

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.

Security of Personal Data

Westinghouse is committed to protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Personal Data.
