If you wish to exercise one or more of these rights under applicable law, please contact us at privacy@bwxt.com (please include a return phone number in your message) or at www.bwxt.com/contact-us (Message Subject “Data Privacy”). When we contact you, we will probably verify your identity by asking you questions, and under applicable law, we may require additional proof of your identity. You may designate an authorized agent to make a request for you. The process for making the request is the same. If you use an authorized agent, we may require the agent to submit proof that they are authorized to act on your behalf.
If we decline your request, partially or fully, you may appeal the decision to our senior management. Simply follow the same process for submitting a request and include “Appeal” in the title or other part of the request. If that Appeal is denied, you may be able to contact your Attorney General’s office, depending on the state in which you reside, to submit a complaint.
Retaining Personal Information
We retain your personal information as long as needed to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it and to meet our legal obligations. Here are some indicative examples:
- We retain the personal information of employees for the period of their employment plus an additional period determined by local laws, regulations or governmental entity requirements.
- We retain contact information for employees of our customers and suppliers as long as they are appropriate contacts. We may have similar information on documents such as invoices or contracts, which we are required to keep for longer periods.
- We retain some personal information, such as security camera footage and IT logs, for brief periods determined primarily by the availability of storage media and internal policies.
Children’s Privacy
We do not knowingly collect, sell or share any personal information about children under the age of 16. If we learn that a child under the age of 16 has provided us with personal information, we will delete it in accordance with applicable law.
