Additional privacy considerations

European Union (EU), United Kingdom (UK), Switzerland (CH) and European Economic Area (EEA)

In addition to the terms of our Micron Privacy Notice, additional privacy and data protection provisions apply to the processing by Micron of personal data for Individuals in the EU, UK, CH and EEA.

A. Controlling Law: During your interactions with us, the collection and processing of your personal data will occur as provided in and under the terms of our Micron Privacy Notice, as modified or supplemented by these additional provisions. Micron is considered to be a “controller” of your information under the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”) and similar data privacy regulations.

The Micron entity responsible for the processing of your personaldData will depend on the unique circumstances of your interactions with us and applicable privacy rules, which may include the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”). Micron has adopted internal policies and implemented measures to ensure that the applicable legal requirements are met and that your personal data is processed with respect and care using the appropriate technology.

B. Legal Basis: Applicable law and policies require Micron to have a “legal basis” for the processing of your personal data. The applicable legal basis often depends on the types of data and the specific context in which it is processed. Where the GDPR and similar laws apply, we typically rely on performance of a contract, our legitimate business interests, or your consent as our primary legal bases to process your personal data. The chart below provides more details regarding each of our processing activities and the corresponding legal basis that applies.
