With respect to our customers, suppliers, contractors and other similar individuals that we interact with in our business context, we may collect information contained in government identifications to verify identity and citizenship status if necessary to comply with the legal or contractual requirements and to secure our facilities.

We may ask visitors to our facilities to supply identification, which may include personal information such as government identification number. Visitors may be recorded on our electronic security systems.

Where required by law or to satisfy the requirements of governmental entities with which we transact business, we may require persons that transact business with us or that visit our facilities to provide name, address, U.S. citizenship status, country of origin or nationality, or other personal information to allow us to perform required screenings.

Our Site may link to third party websites which are not operated by us. We do not monitor or control those third parties or their data collection practices, which may differ from the practices described in this Privacy Policy. When you use a link to go from our Site to another website or you interact with another website, this Privacy Policy no longer applies to personal information collected or used by that website or third party.

How We Protect Your Personal Information

We maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, interference, destruction, alteration, and disclosure.

EU & UK Privacy Notice

Last Updated: January 1, 2024

This EU & UK Privacy Notice

• is intended to meet the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal information and on the free movement of such data (known as “GDPR”); and
• supplements the information contained in our Privacy Policy above.

This EU & UK Privacy Notice applies to the processing of personal information by Doble Engineering Company with offices at 123 Felton Street, Marlborough, MA 01752 USA, referred to in this EU & UK Privacy Notice as “we” or “us”.

The term “personal information” in this EU & UK Privacy Notice means “personal data” as defined under GDPR. This means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. Identifiable persons are also referred to as a data subject in this Notice.

By “processing of personal data” we mean any operation or set of operations, carried out even without an electronic means support, related to data collection, record, organization, storage, consultation, elaboration, modification, selection, retrieval, alignment, use, combination, block, communication, disclosure, erasure and destruction, even if not recorded into a data base.

To the extent that any of these entities process your personal information as described in this EU & UK Privacy Notice, each will be considered a “data controller” of your personal information.

This EU & UK Privacy Notice describes our online and offline privacy practices with respect to personal information that we collect about residents of the EU and the United Kingdom through this Site (referred to in this EU & UK Privacy Notice as “you” or “your”), as well as personal information that we might collect or process in other situations or interactions with you.

This EU & UK Privacy Notice does not apply to employment-related personal information collected from employees, job applicants and independent contractors which are subject to separate notices.

 

Personal Information We Collect About EU Residents

Our Privacy Notice above describes the personal information we collect in the section entitled Personal Information We Collect.

 

Purpose of Processing and Legal Basis

Our purposes in processing personal information are described in our Privacy Policy above in the section entitled Use of Personal Information.

We rely on the following legal basis for processing the personal information:

• the processing is necessary to provide services you request;
• your consent;
• the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract;
• the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject;
• the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party.

Where we process personal information to provide products and services, our legal basis for processing is that it is our legitimate interests (and those of our customers) to process personal information in this way to ensure we provide the products and services requested by our customers in an effective and efficient way.

Where we process personal information for marketing purposes, it is in our legitimate interest to process personal information in this way (except where consent is required by local law in which case we will obtain consent). You have the right at any time to withdraw consent, free of charge, as well as to object to the commercial communications received by contacting us in the section of this Notice called EU & UK Notice Contact Information.

Where we process personal information for legal compliance and protection, information technology and security, auditing, business administration, or acquisition and business transactions, our legal basis for processing personal information is that it is in our legitimate interests (and those of our customers) to process personal information in the ways described to ensure that our business is secure and operates in an effective and efficient way.

For the uses of personal information described in our Cookie Policy, it is in our legitimate interest to process any personal information collected via the cookie or other similar tracking technology to ensure that we can improve our services and our Site.

The processing of the personal information for legitimate interest purposes is carried out pursuant to Article 6, letter f) of the GDPR, for the pursuit of the data controller’s legitimate interest, which is adequately balanced with the data subjects’ rights and freedoms since the processing of the personal information is performed within the limits strictly necessary to perform the required economic activities and the other activities described above. The processing for the legitimate interest purposes is not mandatory and you can object to the data processing at any time as set out in this Privacy Notice. In that case, no data processing will be carried out for the legitimate interest purposes, without prejudice to an overriding interest of the data controller in continuing the processing.

Rights of EU and UK Residents

This EU & UK Privacy Notice gives you transparency on how we process and handle your personal information. You may exercise the following rights granted to you under GDPR in relation to your personal information:

• The right to rectification. You are entitled to have personal information corrected or rectified if it is inaccurate or incomplete.
• The right to erasure or to be forgotten. You can request the deletion or removal of your personal information where appropriate.

Your rights are subject to certain exceptions, such as where we are required to retain personal information by applicable law. If we have shared your personal information with others, we will let them know about the deletion where possible. If you ask us, we will also tell you who we have shared your personal information with so that you can contact them directly, but only where that is possible and lawful.
• The right to restrict processing. You have the right to restrict the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances, such as where you contest the accuracy of the personal information while we investigate your concern.
