We obtain the categories of Personal Information listed above from the following sources:

- Directly from third parties in connection with our offering of products or services to you. For example, we collect information from channel partners who assist in selling products and services to you or from credit reporting agencies when we evaluate whether to grant credit to a customer.
Purpose and Use of Personal Information
We use the categories of Personal Information listed above for the following purposes:
- To fulfill or meet the reason for which the information is provided.
- To provide you with information, products or services that you request from us.
- To market and advertise our products and services to you, including by engaging in cross-context behavioral advertising (e.g., retargeting advertising).
- To provide you with email alerts, event registrations and other notices concerning our products and services, or events or news, that may be of interest to you.
- To carry out our obligations and enforce our rights arising from contracts entered into between you and us, including for billing and collections.

Sharing of Personal Information
We may disclose your personal information to subsidiaries or affiliates or to a third party we have contracted with for a business purpose. When we disclose personal information for a business purpose, we contract with that third party with contractual clauses that describe the purpose of the contract and that requires the recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not disclose or use it for any purpose except for performing under out contract.
We do not sell Personal Information, including Sensitive Personal Information, for money. Instead, we may “share” personal information, as defined by the CCPA, to certain third parties for business purposes, including to market and advertise our products and services to you.
This may include gathering and using your information for remarketing or re-engagement purposes through third-party vendors, which will allow us to show our ads to you on sites across the Internet. Such third-party vendors include Google, Facebook and Demandbase.
In the past twelve (12) months, we have disclosed or shared the categories of personal information as set forth in the “Categories of Personal Information Collected and Disclosed” section, for the business purposes outlined in the Anritsu Group Privacy Policy, and/or in the preceding “Purpose and Use of Personal Information.” This includes sharing identifiers (such as online identifiers) and electronic network activity information (such as browsing behavior) to social media platforms and advertising partners.
Usage of Cookies
Within some of the pages of our website, we use a technology called “cookies” to enhance the experience of our website when you re-visit. “Cookies” is an industry-standard technology in which the server recognizes your computer. “Cookies” recognizes your computer, but unless you type in your personal information you will not be identified. Furthermore, depending on the type of your browser, you may choose to disable the cookies. As a consequence, there may be some cases where you may not be able to use partial or the entire services we provide.
Additionally, third-party vendors, including those identified above, may also use cookies and/or other device identifiers to serve you with ads based on your past visits to our website.
Opt-Out Cookies
You may opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative’s Opt-Out page or control the use of device identifiers by using your device’s settings. You may also opt-out of each vendor’s use of cookies or device identifiers by visiting their settings:
Data Retention
Except as otherwise permitted or required by law, we will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, as required to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting obligations, or as necessary to resolve disputes. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider our statutory obligations, the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.
Where we maintain or use de-identified information, we will continue to maintain and use that information only in a de-identified form and will not attempt to re-identify the information, including in cases where you have exercised one or more of your rights below.
Rights of California Residents
The CCPA provides California residents with specific rights regarding their personal information, including the following:
Right to Know
You have the right to know what personal information we have collected, used, disclosed, and shared about you, including (i) the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you; (ii) the categories of personal information we have collected about you, (iii) the categories of sources from which we collect information about you; (iv) the business or commercial purposes for which we collect information about you, and (v) the categories of third-parties with whom we share or have shared personal information about you. You have the right to access your personal information in a portable, and, to the extent technically feasible, readily usable format but no more than twice in a twelve (12) month period.
Right to Correct
You have the right to correct inaccuracies in your personal information, taking into account the nature of the personal information and the purposes of the processing.
Right to Delete
You have the right to request that we and our services providers delete personal information that we have collected from you. We will endeavor to fulfill any verifiable requests for deletion, unless an exception under the CCPA applies.
Right to Opt-Out
You have the right to opt-out of the processing of your personal information or sharing of your personal information, including for purposes of targeted advertising.
Right to Non-Discrimination
You have the right not to be discriminated against if you exercise your rights under California law. Unless otherwise permitted, we will not (i) deny you good or services, (ii) charge you a different price or rates for good or services, or (iii) provide you a different level of quality of good or services.
Exercising Your Rights
California residents may make a rights request by: (i) visiting the following link Contact Us or (ii) by calling us at 1-800-ANRITSU. You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf through these means. When you or your authorized agent exercise these rights and submit a request to us, we will verify your identity by asking you to provide us with additional information such as your name, email address, mailing address, and/or order numbers of previous orders of our products or services.
We cannot respond to your request if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request. Once we receive a verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies. If we deny your request, you may have the right to appeal our decision.
We will endeavor to honor such requests unless such request conflicts with certain lawful exemptions under California or other Federal and State laws.
Changes to Our Privacy Statement
We reserve the right to amend this privacy statement at our discretion and at any time. The current privacy statement may be accessed at our website homepage at any time.
