4. How we share information.
NEXUS does not sell, rent or lease personal data to others except as stated in this Privacy Statement. We may share and/or disclose your personal data as follows:
Disclosure within NEXUS : NEXUS has its headquarters in the United States of America and operates worldwide and may disclose your personal data as necessary within our group of companies in connection with how we use your personal data.
Disclosure to third parties: NEXUS maintains suppliers and service providers to facilitate and support its business operations, offer professional services, deliver products, services and customer solutions and help NEXUS with marketing and sales communication initiatives. Those third parties may receive and process your personal data under appropriate instructions, as necessary to support and facilitate how we use your personal data. The third parties are necessitated by contract to store and process the information confidentially and securely on behalf of NEXUS and use it only to perform the services as stated.
5. International Transfers of Personal Data.
As NEXUS operates worldwide, we may disclose your personal data as necessary within our worldwide office in the Americas, Europe, Russia, Africa, Middle East, India, Asia and Australia. We have an intra-company agreement on the transfer and processing of personal data within our companies across the globe. This forms the basis of our rules for Controller and allows NEXUS to ensure that EEA personal data which is transferred and processed by our companies outside the EEA, is adequately protected in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Intra-group international data transfers are subject to legally-binding agreements referred to as Binding Corporate Rules (BCR) which provide enforceable rights for data subjects.
We will only share your information to specified partners overseas to enable us to perform services requested by you. With regard to the transfer of personal data to a third party in a country that does not provide an adequate amount of data protection, NEXUS will ensure that appropriate safety measures are taken such as signing EU Standard Contractual Clauses with the recipient, relying on their Privacy Shield certification, other approved codes of conduct or certification mechanisms or binding and enforceable commitments of the recipient.
Circumstances may arise where, whether for strategic or other business reasons, NEXUS decides to buy, merge, sell or otherwise reorganize businesses in some countries. Such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personal data to prospective or actual purchasers, or the receipt of it from sellers. It is NEXUS practice to seek appropriate contractual protection for personal data in these types of transactions.
6. How Long We Keep Your Personal Information
In general, NEXUS keeps personal data for the length of any contractual relationship and, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, after the end of that relationship for as long as necessary to perform purposes set out in this Privacy Statement, to protect Siemon from legal claims and administer our business. When we no longer need to use personal data, we will delete it from our systems and records or take steps to anonymize the data unless we need to keep it longer to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
7. EEA Residents Rights
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area, you can contact the following European Data Controller in exercise of your data protection rights:

NEXUS strives to keep personal data accurately recorded. We have implemented technology, management processes and policies to help maintain data accuracy. The NEXUS Company has adopted the principle of privacy by design and will ensure that the definition and planning of all new or significantly changed systems that collect, or process personal data will be subject to due consideration of privacy issues, including the completion of one or more data protection impact assessments.

The data subject has additional rights under our BCRs.
