How long we keep your information will depend on the purpose for which we use it.

We only keep your information for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice and to fulfil our legal obligations. To determine the appropriate length of time to keep your information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

We have internal rules that set out for how long we retain information. Please contact us for more information.

Your personal data may be shared:

• with our parent company, Fortive Corporation or any successor parent, and our corporate affiliates and subsidiaries for internal reasons, primarily for business and operational purposes;
• with distributors, resellers, channel partners and others in connection with the sale and marketing of our Services offered by Tektronix or on behalf of Tektronix, with your prior permission or where otherwise permitted by applicable law;
• with other users at your direction or through functionality available in our Services, including when you participate in the interactive areas of those Services;
• with vendors, consultants, and other service providers who need access to such information to carry out work on our behalf;

We process your information:

• where you have given us consent to process your personal data for certain purposes, for instance to send you promotional communications related to our Services.
• where this is necessary for the performance of a contract with you for the provision of our Services or to take steps at your request prior to entering into such contract.
• to comply with our legal obligations, for example to keep records and accounts, or to carry out identity checks and other verifications prescribed by law.
• as this is necessary in pursuit of our legitimate interests in running, developing and growing our business and providing our Services, including sending you communications related to our Services and profiling related to how you have used and interacted with our Services. While there are some risks with this type of activity, on balance, we consider the risk to your rights of data protection is outweighed by the significant benefits in providing you with the Services you ask us for where there is no relevant contract to cover the provision of these Services, as well as in improving our Services and our communications to you. We’ve also implemented protections for your rights by putting in place appropriate security measures to protect your personal data, as set out below. You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on legitimate interests. More information on this right and on how to exercise it is set out below.

Where we need to collect personal data in order to enter into or perform a contract and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to enter into or perform that contract, but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

When you use our Services, for instance our mobile applications, tools and devices, you may be asked to provide certain information. Where you do not do so, and that Service, or certain features of the Service, requires this information, the Service or certain features of the Service will no longer function.

No, we do not carry out automated decision making or automated profiling that will have legal or other similarly significant effects on you.

Cookies and other web-based tracking technologies (such as web beacons) are used to enhance your experience by allowing us to tailor our content based on your interests and distinguish you from other users of our Services.

A cookie is a small text file that we store on your device. It contains information, such as a user ID or preferences, that we can use to personalize content, track the pages you've visited or save your password so you do not have to re-enter it each time you visit our website or use our Services.

We use the following types of cookies:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are necessary to make our Services function as intended. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to use a shopping cart.
• Analytical/Performance Cookies. These cookies enable us to recognize repeat visitors, and count the total number of visitors and see how visitors navigate our Services. These cookies enable us to improve the way our Services work, for example, by ensuring that users can find what they are looking for easily.
• Functionality Cookies. These cookies enable us to personalize our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region). We may also use them to recognize you when you return to our Services.

Certain other functions and/or services might be unavailable to you if you reject cookies altogether (such as remembering your choice of language on a website).

We would like to be able to contact you from time to time about our new similar products and services and promotional offers, where we have your permission or are otherwise permitted by applicable law to do so.

We would like to provide you with choices regarding certain uses of personal data, particularly around marketing to you, and have therefore established an online privacy centre where you can view and make certain decisions about your personal data use.

Your personal data will be stored on our secure servers at our offices and those of our service providers, which are located in the EEA or in the U.S. and other countries which may not have a level of data protection law equivalent to that of your country.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it as if it were staying in the EEA by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

• We will only transfer your personal data to countries or recipients operating under frameworks (such as the Privacy Shield in the U.S.) that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.
• We may also use specific contractual clauses approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific safeguards used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.

We ensure the security of your personal data by putting in place appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it from accidental loss, theft, misuse, alteration and unauthorized access or disclosure, and unlawful or accidental destruction.

We also take steps to ensure all our subsidiaries, agents, affiliates and suppliers employ adequate levels of security.

By law, you have a number of rights when it comes to your personal data, and we have summarised these below. Further information and advice about your rights can be obtained from the data protection regulator in your country.

To exercise any of the rights above, please visit our data subject rights request page, which can be found here. Alternatively, you can exercise your rights or ask a question by contacting us using the details set out at the end of this Privacy Notice.

We’ll respond as soon as we can. Generally, this will be within one month from when we receive your request but, if the request is going to take longer to deal with, we’ll come back to you and let you know.

We usually act on requests and provide information free of charge, but may charge a reasonable fee to cover our administrative costs of providing the information for:

• baseless or excessive/repeated requests, or
• further copies of the same information.

Alternatively, the law may allow us to refuse to act on the request.

If you have questions on the processing of your personal data, would like to exercise any of your rights, or are unhappy with how we’ve handled your information, please contact us by writing to Tektronix, Inc. of 14150 SW Karl Braun Drive, M/S 50-485, Beaverton OR 97077-0001, United States or sending an email to [email protected].

If you’re not satisfied with our response to any complaint or believe our processing of your information does not comply with data protection law, you can make a complaint to the data protection regulator the country of your residence.

We may change this Privacy Notice from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Privacy Notice and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as by adding a statement to our homepage or by sending you a notification).
