Upholding Data Privacy
Privacy and security go hand in hand. We strive to protect personal data through reasonable technical and organizational security measures including technical security tools, restrictions on access to data, and physical security measures to help prevent unauthorized or unlawful access, disclosure, loss, destruction, or damage. We access and use personal data for legitimate business purposes and maintain appropriate access controls and use limitations.
Our employees are required to follow all applicable privacy, information security, and data protection laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation and California Consumer Privacy Act, where applicable. Our Global Data Privacy Policy sets forth the principles that govern our treatment of personal data, while our policy on the Acceptable Use of Dover Electronic Equipment, Systems, and Data governs the use and protection of information about our company and information that is stored on our computers and mobile devices. Our policies restrict individuals’ access to personal data to those that need access to accomplish a business objective and allow access only for so long as it is necessary.
We endeavor to follow data privacy best practices and have established specific governance structures to regularly reflect and improve upon our data privacy processes. In that regard, we leverage a cross-functional Data Privacy Council that meets regularly to discuss developments in global privacy law.
We also maintain an eye toward privacy by design and our innovation efforts take privacy considerations into account as part of the product development lifecycle.
