Summary of Key Points

Who Do We Share This Personal Data With?

We take your privacy seriously and only share personal data with trusted third parties when necessary and in compliance with applicable law. Attached below in Schedule 1 is a list of all categories of third parties with whom your personal data is shared and for what purpose. 

In the event of a business reorganization/restructuring/divestiture, the personal data outlined above may also be shared with any corporate purchaser or prospect (including at the due diligence stage) to the extent permitted by law as part of any merger, acquisition, sale of company assets, or transition of service to another provider, as well as in the event of insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which personal data would be transferred as an asset of CommScope.

Do We Transfer Your Personal Data Outside The European Union or The European Economic Area ("EU/EEA")?

You should expect that the recipients set out in Schedule 1 may be located inside or outside the EU/EEA.  

• Certain recipients are in a country outside of the EU/EEA that is recognized as providing an adequate level of data protection from an EU General Data Protection Regulation perspective, such as the UK, Argentina, Canada (for non-public organizations subject to the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act), Switzerland, and New Zealand. Recipients in the U.S. are certified under the EU- S. Data Privacy Framework and thereby also recognized as providing an adequate level of data protection from a European data protection law perspective. CommScope has in place Binding Corporate Rules for transfers between group companies, and International Data Transfer Agreements with third parties
  
  
• Other recipients might be in countries which do not adduce an adequate level of protection from an EU General Data Protection Regulation perspective (in particular, India) CommScope will take all necessary measures to ensure that transfers out of the EU/EEA are adequately protected as required by applicable data protection law.
  
  
• With respect to transfers to countries not providing an adequate level of data protection, we may base the transfer on appropriate safeguards, such as International Data Transfer Agreements with third parties and Binding Corporate Rules for transfers between group companies,]standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission or by a supervisory authority, approved code of conducts together with binding and enforceable commitments of the recipient, or approved certification mechanisms together with binding and enforceable commitments of the recipient. You can request a copy of the safeguards by contacting us at dataprivacylead@commscope.com
  
  
• The data transfer to Data Processors which are neither certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework nor in a country with other adequacy decision will typically also be protected by such standard data protection clauses.
