Privacy & IT Security
Privacy
At Agilent, we recognize the importance of data protection and privacy. We are committed to acting in accord with our values, particularly those of Uncompromising Integrity and Accountability, in handling personal data and being a responsible data steward in this digital and global business environment. We expect the same of our suppliers.
Global privacy laws require Agilent to execute a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with any supplier that processes personal data on behalf of Agilent. The DPA must include, where applicable, special contractual provisions to allow personal data to be transferred outside of the originating jurisdiction (e.g. transfers of EU and UK personal data require adherence to Standard Contractual Clauses incorporated by reference in any applicable DPA).
Agilent has a global principles-based cross-functional program in place to address data protection and privacy, including a global Data Protection Impact Assessment process to conduct due diligence of new or changed uses of personal data where new suppliers are engaged that will handle personal data on behalf of Agilent.
- Agilent expects suppliers to follow all applicable data protection and privacy laws worldwide and to have the appropriate policies and procedures in place for their suppliers, to ensure all personal data processed for Agilent is done so securely and in compliance with applicable laws.
- Suppliers shall also have DPAs in place with any of their suppliers that have access to, or otherwise process personal data, in delivering services to Agilent.
