Bramley Drive, Vale Park West, Evesham, Worcestershire, WR11 1JH

and which can be contacted at the following email address: mptmarketing@idexcorp.com.

As described in sections 2 and 3 we process personal data for different purposes. The legal bases according to the GDPR for such processing are listed below (Please see our IDEX MPT Cookie Notice for information about the processing of data derived from cookies):

Retention Periods

We delete or anonymize your personal data as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which we processed it.

In general, we store your personal data for the duration of the usage or the contractual relationship via the website plus a period of 15 days for IT security purposes.

In the event that you have given us your consent to process your data (e.g. for marketing purposes including the associated profiling), we will store your data until you revoke your consent or the processing purpose does not apply anymore.

For the retention period of cookies and other tracking, please refer to the details in our IDEX MPT Cookie Notice.

After these periods have expired, the data will be erased unless this data is required for a longer period due to legal retention periods, alternative purposes or for criminal prosecution. Beyond these retention periods, we may retain the data for the purposes of legal defence and law enforcement for as long as is necessary for the preparation or execution of a possible legal dispute (usually up to four years, whereby the legal dispute itself may inhibit the course of this period). If data can be stored for these reasons, it will be blocked. The data will then no longer be available for further use.

• the transfer is to a non-EU/EEA country which has an adequacy decision by the EU Commission;
• the transfer is covered by a contractual agreement, which covers the GDPR requirements relating to transfers to countries outside the EU/EEA;
• the transfer is to an organization which has Binding Corporate Rules approved by an EU data protection authority; or
• the recipient is an organization in the US that is EU-US Privacy Shield certified; or
• the transfer is covered by other approved safeguards in order to protect your personal data in a degree that equals the level of data protection in the European Union.

International transfers within IDEX Corporation are governed by EU Commission approved Standard Contractual Clauses for Controllers (as defined under the GDPR) and, where relevant, for Processors (as defined under the GDPR).

You may request a copy of the standard contractual clauses or other applicable safeguards by contacting mptmarketing@idexcorp.com

You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove personal data where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).

Request the restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal data about you (e.g. if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it).
