A. Personal Data You Provide.

  • When you interact with us, we collect information in the context of our relationship (e.g., vendor, host, employer, etc.).

We may also collect demographic information from these third parties, or information to enable the marketing automation and personalization tools on our websites, applications and services.

For additional information, see the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Arbitration Procedures (dataprivacyframework.gov).In the event and where necessary, if Micron does transfer personal data to a country outside of the EEA, EU, UK or Switzerland which is not considered ‘adequate’ by the European Commission (‘Restricted Transfer’), Micron will ensure that it will put into place adequate protection for the transfer of such personal data. This includes data transfer mechanisms such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK Standard Contractual Clauses for Restricted Transfers.
