How We Share Your Personal Data

We will share your personal information within Honeywell and its affiliates on a “need-to-know” basis for the purpose of investigating your report or concern. This will be the case where the investigation must be carried out in a specific country. Your information will be collected by a third-party service provider (such as ‘NAVEX’, an ethics and compliance expert) when you submit a report via telephone or the online form. The personal data and information you share will be stored in a database which is located on servers hosted and operated by NAVEX in the United States and Europe. We may share your personal information with third party service providers that perform specific services on our behalf such as HR Acuity. It may also be necessary for us to share your personal information with law firms, criminal or competition authorities

Data Transfers

Your personal data may be transferred to the USA. This means that when we collect your personal information it may be processed in countries that may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country. However, Honeywell will always take reasonable steps to protect your privacy and to provide a level of protection of personal information that is comparable to that of your country of residence which include implementing the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses. We will take all appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard the personal information that we transfer.

Legal Basis for Processing your Personal Information

Our legal basis for processing your personal information will be based on your consent. If you refuse consent or withdraw your consent, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Honeywell may still be able to process your personal information based on a relevant legal basis other than consent (for e.g. it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which Honeywell is subject or it is in Honeywell’s legitimate interest. Please note that withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Your Data Protection Rights

You may have, among others, the following rights under applicable law to: (i) right to access, rectify, erase, object, restrict or withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal information; (ii) the right to not have a decision made about you that is based solely on automated processing, including profiling, if that decision produces legal effects about you or significantly affects you, and (iii) a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

If you have any questions about the type of personal data that we hold about you or if wish to exercise any of your data subject rights, please contact us through the data subject request form found at https://honeywellhub.secure.force.com or send an email to the Data Protection Officer at HoneywellPrivacy@honeywell.com.
