PART III: HOW WE DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION

We take care to allow your personal information to be accessed only by those who
need access to be able to perform their duties, and to be shared only with third
parties who have a legitimate purpose for accessing it. We may share your
personal information with third parties as follows:


 * Service providers. We may disclose your information with our service
   providers, such as vendors, consultants, agents and other third parties who
   work on our behalf. For example, we may need to disclose information to
   vendors and service providers who provide assistance with marketing, billing,
   processing credit card payments, data analysis and insight, hosting,
   employment benefits, technical support and customer service. Unless described
   in any of our privacy notices, we do not share, sell, rent, or trade any of
   your personal information with third parties for their own promotional
   purposes.
   
   
 * Business partners. We may disclose your information to our channel partners,
   such as distributors and resellers, and to other business partners, to
   fulfill product and information requests, to effectively deliver unified
   support, and to provide customers and prospective customers with information
   about us and our products and services. From time to time, we may engage in
   joint sales or product promotions with selected business partners. If you
   purchase or specifically express interest in a jointly offered product,
   promotion or service, we may share relevant personal information with those
   partners.
   
   Note that we do not control our business partners' use of such information.
   Our partners are responsible for managing their own use of the personal
   information collected in these circumstances, including providing information
   to you about how they use your personal information. We recommend you review
   the privacy policies of the relevant partner to find out more about their
   handling of your personal information.
   
   
 * VMware affiliates. We may share your information with our parent companies,
   subsidiaries and/or affiliates. This information may be shared and used to
   provide services and support, provide recommendations to optimize product and
   service use, to provide customers and prospective customers with information
   about the range of available products and services, and for the purposes
   otherwise described in this Privacy Notice.
   
   
 * Vital interests. We may disclose information to any party where we believe it
   necessary in order to protect the vital interests of any person.
   
   
 * Compliance with laws or any competent law enforcement body, regulatory body,
   government agency, court or third party. We may disclose information where we
   believe disclosure is necessary or required (i) by law or regulation, in
   order to comply with legal process or government requests (including in
   response to public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement
   requirements); or (ii) to exercise, establish or defend our legal rights.
   
   
 * Business transfers. We may share or transfer your information in connection
   with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets,

 * With your consent. We may disclose your personal information for any other
   purpose with your consent.


PART IV: YOUR PRIVACY CHOICES AND RIGHTS

We offer all individuals, regardless of residency, certain privacy choices.
Residents of some territories (such as the European Economic Area or California)
are afforded various additional privacy rights by applicable law.

Your choices

 * Marketing communications. You may modify how we contact you through email for
   marketing or promotional purposes. If you don’t want to receive marketing
   communications from us, you can opt-out at any time by using the VMware
   Preference Center accessible through Customer Connect or by clicking the
   “unsubscribe” button included in any marketing communications we send you.
   
   
 * Correct or update your information. If you would like to correct or update
   personal information that you provided to us, please logon to
   customerconnect.vmware.com and update your profile.
   
   
 * Cookies and targeted advertising. You may opt out of our use of cookies and
   similar technologies on our online Properties for various purposes such as
   targeted advertising. To do so, when you visit our online Properties, go to
   the cookie settings and turn off cookies per your preferences. Please see our
   Cookie Notice to learn more about cookies

 

Your rights
Your rights may include:

 * Access and portability. You may ask us to confirm whether we are processing
   your personal information, provide you with details about such processing,
   and, in some limited circumstances, give you a copy of your personal
   information.  You may ask us to provide your personal information in a
   structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, or you can ask to have it
   ported directly to another data controller.
   
   
 * Erasure or deletion. You may ask us to delete the personal information that
   we hold about you.
   
   
 * Rectification or correction. You may ask us to correct any inaccurate or
   incomplete personal information that we hold about you.
   
   
 * Objection to processing. You may request that we stop processing your
   personal information for specific purposes including marketing and profiling.
   
   
 * Restriction of processing. You may request that we restrict the processing of
   your personal information in certain circumstances (for example, where you
   believe that the personal information we hold about you is not accurate or
   lawfully held).
   
   
 * Appeal. You may have the right to appeal a decision we make regarding the
   exercise of your privacy rights.
   
   
 * Lodge a complaint to your local Data Protection Authority. You may have the
   right to lodge a complaint with your national Data Protection Authority or
   equivalent regulatory body.
   
   
 * Automated decision-making. We do not employ solely automated decision-making,
   as a matter of course, that results in automated decisions being taken
   (including profiling) that legally affect you or similarly significantly
   affect you. Automated decisions are decisions made automatically based on
   computer determinations (using software algorithms), without human review. If
   you are to be subjected to automated decision making, we will make it clear
   at the time and you have the right to contest the decision, to express your
   point of view, and to require a human review of the decision.
   
   

These rights are not absolute and are subject to conditions or limitations as
specified in applicable laws. If you would like to exercise any of the above
rights, please complete the Privacy Contact Form. We will process your request
in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection laws. To protect your
privacy and security, we may take steps to verify your identity before complying
with the request.

Rights where VMware acts as a processor. Certain Services may be used by our
customers to collect personal information about you. In such cases, we process
such personal information purely on behalf of our customers. Individuals who
seek to exercise their rights should direct their query to our customer (the
controller).


PART V: SECURITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY

We maintain (and require our service providers to maintain) appropriate
organizational and technical measures designed to protect the security and
confidentiality of any personal information we process. These measures include
physical access controls, encryption, Internet firewalls, intrusion detection
and network monitoring depending on the nature of the information and the scope
of processing. VMware staff who may have access to personal information are
required to keep that information confidential. Despite these controls, we
cannot completely ensure or warrant the security of your information and
encourage you to take steps to protect your information when disclosing personal
information online by using readily available tools, such as Internet firewalls,
anti-virus and anti-spyware software, and similar technologies.


PART VI: INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Personal information, including personal information collected from or about you
may be transferred, stored and processed by us and our service providers,
partners and affiliates in countries other than where your personal information
was collected and other than where you reside, including the United States and
other countries whose data protection laws may be different than the laws of
your country. We will protect your personal information in accordance with this
Privacy Notice wherever it is processed and will take appropriate steps to
protect your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Notice and
applicable laws. We have implemented similar appropriate safeguards with our
service providers, partners and affiliates.

For transfers of personal information from our group companies in the EEA, the
United Kingdom and Switzerland to our other group companies, we have implemented
the Standard Contractual Clauses (issued by the European Commission or the UK’s
Information Commissioner’s Office). Our Standard Contractual Clauses can be
provided upon request. In relation to our role as a processor of customer
content, our Binding Corporate Rules will apply to any transfers of personal
information.


PART VII: DELETION AND RETENTION

We will retain personal information we collect from you where we have a
justifiable business need to do so and/or for as long as is needed to fulfil the
purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is
required or permitted by law (such as tax, legal, accounting or other purposes).
Specifically, our retention schedule categorizes records or information by
department, content type, retention period, and any supplemental policies
(domestic, regional and global) where applicable. Our retention schedule is
based on a combination of laws and regulatory requirements, legal guidance, the
amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information and to maximize
operational efficiencies.

When we have no justifiable business need to process your personal information,
we will either delete or anonymize it. If deletion or anonymization is not
possible (for example, your personal information may be stored in backup
archives or for technical reasons), we will securely store your personal
information and implement appropriate measures to prevent any further processing
