5.16 Data Privacy.
(a) The Participant is hereby informed of the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Participant’s personal data as described in this Agreement by and among, as applicable, his or her employer, the Company and its subsidiaries (each acting as individual data controllers) for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. This processing of personal data is therefore based on the legal ground of necessity for the execution of this Agreement.
(b) The Participant understands that his or her employer, the Company and its subsidiaries, as applicable, hold certain personal information about the Participant regarding his or her employment, the nature and amount of the Participant’s compensation and the fact and conditions of the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address, telephone number and e-mail address, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company and its subsidiaries, details of all options, awards or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (the “Data”).
(c) The Participant understands that the Data may be transferred to any third parties whose assistance is required for the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in the Participant’s country, or elsewhere and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country. Insofar as the legislation of the recipient’s country is not deemed to provide adequate legal protection of the personal data of the Participant, standard contractual clauses (in the format approved by the European Commission) will be entered into to legitimize such transfer. The Participant understands that the Participant may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. The Participant recognizes that the recipients will receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan, which may also include any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party.
(d) The Participant understands that the Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan. Afterwards, they will be deleted or archived.
(e) The Participant understands that he or she may, at any time, view the Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data, require any necessary amendments or rectifications to the Data, request the restriction or portability hereof, or object to the processing hereof, in any case without cost (except in case of manifestly unfounded or excessive requests, in which case a reasonable fee can be charged), by contacting in writing the Participant’s local human resources representative. The Participant may also submit a complaint to its local data protection authority, as applicable (list of authorities: https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members_en). The Participant understands, however, that this may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan (as the processing of the Data is necessary for the execution of this Agreement). For more information, the Participant understands that the Participant may contact his or her local human resources representative.
5.17 Special Provisions for Stock Options Granted to Participants Outside the U.S. The Option shall be subject to the special provisions, if any, for the Participant’s country of residence, as set forth in the Special Provisions for Stock Options Granted to Participants Outside the U.S. attached to the Grant Notice as Exhibit B (the “Non-U.S. Provisions”).
