Whom we share your information with

We may share personal information with:

• Third parties we use to help deliver our products and services to you or otherwise run our business, e.g., payment service providers, warehouses, delivery companies, marketing agencies, website hosts, website analytics providers, etc.
• External auditors or professional advisors, e.g., lawyers and other advisors, in which case confidentiality obligations will bind the recipient of the information.
• Law enforcement agencies, courts, tribunals, and regulatory bodies to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.
• Such third parties to whom we may sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal information in the same way as set out in this privacy policy.
• We may disclose your personal data to a third party where you direct and/or authorise us to do so.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal information and treat it in accordance with the law. Unless otherwise expressly notified, we do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal information for their own purposes and only permit them to process it for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions. 

Your data subject rights

You may have the following data subject rights if granted under applicable laws, which may also be subject restrictions and exemptions:

• Right to Know: you may have the right to request information about the personal information we have collected about you and for what purpose.
• Right to Access: you may have the right to access your personal information and obtain a copy.
• Right to rectification: you may have the right to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected. We may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide.
• Right to erasure (‘right to be forgotten’): you may have the right to request the deletion of the personal information that we hold on you.
• Right to restriction of processing: you may have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
• Right to Portability: you may have the right to receive your personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to have that information transmitted to another organization in certain circumstances.
• Right to object to processing: you may have right to object to processing of your personal information where we rely on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) as the legal basis for that particular use of your data.
• Right to withdraw Consent: you may have the right to withdraw consent, where we process your personal information based on your consent. If you withdraw your consent, it will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on your consent before its withdrawal.

If you wish to exercise your rights, please visit our Privacy Center and submit a request via our Privacy Request Portal Dell-PMC. To help protect the security of your personal information, we may request specific information from you to verify your identity. There may be situations where we cannot grant your request — for example, if you ask us to delete your transaction data and Dell is legally obligated to keep a record of that.

You have choices about how we reach you with marketing offers and other uses of your information. To update your preferences, you can:

• Click “unsubscribe” in any email marketing communications we send you.
• Go to your MyAccount or visit our Preference Management Center to select your marketing communication choices.

International Transfers

We may transfer your personal information to other companies within the Dell group and to its business partners as permitted by law if required for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement. This may involve the transfer of your personal information to countries outside your home country or region, which may have a different level of data protection from your home country. Such countries may include, without limitation, the United States and other countries in which Dell or its subsidiaries, affiliates or business partners maintain facilities. In order to provide adequate protection for the transfer of your personal information, we have in place contractual arrangements (as appropriate) with our subsidiaries, affiliates and business partners in respect of such transfers. We will take all reasonable technical and organizational measures to safeguard personal information we transfer. 

We use appropriate mechanisms for international data transfers. For example, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses, approved by the European Commission (and the equivalent standard contractual clauses for jurisdictions in Latin America, where appropriate) or on derogations provided for under the applicable law to transfer information to a third country. 

How we secure your information

We use appropriate technical, organizational, and physical data security safeguards to protect your personal data, taking into account the nature of the personal data and the processing, and the threats posed. We are constantly working to improve on these safeguards to help keep your personal data secure. We encourage you to keep any passwords you use confidential and to avoid “phishing” scams where someone may send you an email that appears to be from Dell asking for your personal information. Dell will not request your ID or password through email. 

How long do we retain your information

We retain personal information for as long as necessary for us to accomplish the purposes for which the personal information was collected and for any retention periods specified by applicable law. Such legally prescribed retention periods may vary by area. We may retain certain personal information for a longer period to comply with applicable law and respond to or otherwise participate in legal claims. The specific retention period for any piece of personal information will be appropriately calculated to meet the relevant obligations and take into account any specific business needs or uses.

Collection and use of Children’s information

If you are a child/minor as understood by laws of your country, please do not submit any Personal Information through our websites without the express consent and participation of a parent or guardian.
