Data Privacy and Data Security
Our Commitment
Why It Matters
Compliance with data privacy laws is an important part of HARMAN’s global business strategy, including data obtained from or related to HARMAN employees, applicants for employment at HARMAN, customers, potential customers, suppliers or contractors. Compliance with HARMAN’s data security policies is important in order to protect data from misuse, loss, disclosure, alteration or unauthorized access.
How We Appropriately Address Data Privacy and Data Security
- Follow this Code, HARMAN’s IT Security policies and privacy laws/regulations.
- Use both physical measures (such as locking file drawers) and technological measures (such as using strong passwords) to keep information secure.
- In the event that data is sent to the wrong recipient, or accessed by a third party without authorization, please immediately contact Privacy@harman.com.
- Never collect, analyze or share personal data without getting the appropriate review and approval. Check with Privacy@harman.com to ensure that HARMAN has provided the necessary notice and obtained the required consent for the data.
- Don’t leave anyone’s personal data unprotected—physically or technologically.
- Be conscious of whether it is permissible for HARMAN to use data. Contact Privacy@harman.com if you aren’t sure.
- Contact Privacy@harman.com for guidance and support on any data privacy and data security related questions. HARMAN has a Data Protection Committee which makes policy decisions about data privacy and data security at HARMAN. The Committee is comprised of senior representatives from key corporate functions, our divisions and business units. Matters raised through Privacy@harman.com will be elevated to the Data Protection Committee as necessary.
Connecting the Dots: Q&A
I’m a customer support representative. I collect and store personal information about our customers. A colleague who works in marketing asked if I could share our customers’ names and email addresses with her. She wants to solicit their donations for a charity she supports. It’s for a good cause. Can I share this information with her?
No, you must not share this information. Customers have the right to understand how the data we collect about them is being used. Unless customers have agreed to having their data used for such a purpose, we must not do it. If you have any questions, contact Privacy@harman.com.
