Your Rights

Laws in some countries and states provide specific privacy rights to individuals.  Those rights may include, based on your geographic location, the following:

  • Right to Know – You may ask us to provide certain characteristics of the personal information we have collected about you and to access such information.
  • Right to Correct – You may ask us to correct any inaccuracies in the personal information we have collected.
  • Right to Delete – You may ask us to delete the personal information we have collected.
  • Right of Portability – You may ask us to provide a copy of the personal data that you have previously provided to us in a portable and readily usable format.
  • Right to Opt-out – You may have the right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, the use of your personal information for targeted advertising, and the use of your personal information for profiling. With regard to personal information collected by cookies, there is an additional opt-out mechanism.  If you use an opt-out preference signal following the Global Privacy Control (GPC) specification, we will process your opt-out preference in a frictionless manner at the device level using our cookie compliance tool.  You can set your browser to send these signals, but the specific settings that need to be configured depend on the specific browser you use.  Some browsers may require a browser extension.  To learn more about the GPC and browsers which support it, visit the Global Privacy Control website.  If you have questions about opting out or need a different way to opt-out, please submit a request via the contact information below.
  • Right to Non-Discrimination – We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

Exercising Your Rights

If you wish to exercise one or more of these rights under applicable law, please contact us at [email protected] (please include a return phone number in your message) or at www.bwxt.com/contact (Message Subject “Data Privacy”) or click on the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link on our homepage.  When we contact you, we will probably verify your identity by asking you questions or contacting you through an alternate channel but may, under applicable law, 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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. 
  3. We retain some personal information, such as security camera footage and IT logs, for brief periods determined primarily by 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. 

For Individuals Residing Outside the US

Information in this section addresses requirements commonly found outside the US and supplements the information provided above. 

The data controller is BWX Technologies, Inc. 

BWXT does not have a Data Protection Officer, as our core activities do not involve processing personal information, large-scale, regular, and systematic monitoring of individuals, nor large-scale processing of sensitive personal information (also called “special categories of data”).

Our lawful basis for collecting and processing personal data:

  • In most cases, the lawful basis is your consent. You directly provide most of the personal information we have about you, and you can request to have it erased (i.e., withdraw your consent) at any time.
  • We collect personal information from applicants and employees to meet requirements of the employment contract.
  • We collect contact information for individuals employed by our customers, suppliers, and other entities to meet our legitimate interest in enabling business communication.
  • We collect network and IT information to meet our legitimate interest in protecting our systems and data.

You have the following Rights, in addition to those listed above:

  • Right to Know (Consent) – You have the right to ask about the possibility of not giving consent and about the consequences of the refusal.
  • Right to Withdraw Consent – You have the right to withdraw consent to the processing of your personal data.
  • Right of Portability – You have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
  • Right to Lodge a Complaint – You have the right to contact appropriate authorities (for example, the UK Information Commissioner’s Office) with your concerns.

In the context of personal information, BWXT does not use automated decision-making for UK residents.

BWXT is based in the United States and has subsidiaries in other countries.  We may transfer your personal information between BWXT legal entities or to our outsourced service suppliers located in countries outside your own.  BWXT has performed the necessary analysis and put in place required safeguards (such as the EU’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and the UK’s International Data Transfer Agreements (IDTAs) between these legal entities to protect your personal data.  We will provide a copy of the SCCs or IDTAs at your request.  

For European Union Residents

From time to time, we accept contracts in the EU.  As we have no establishment in the EU, do not offer goods or services to EU data subjects, and do not monitor the behavior of EU data subjects, we do not fall within the territorial scope of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
