Rogers Corporation is committed to protecting any personally identifiable information (“PII”) collected or held, and to complying with all privacy, data protection, and associated applicable laws. We collect, use, and retain only as much PII as is necessary for our legitimate business purposes, or to satisfy any legal requirements. Where required by law, we obtain consent to such collection and use, and inform each person, if the use is not obvious to them, about the purposes for which their personal information will be used.

Personal information must be deleted and updated in accordance with our legal obligations and Company document retention policies once its purpose has been fulfilled. We must only share personal information with affiliates and third parties if they have a legitimate need to know it, and only if we are reasonably assured that they will deploy suitable safeguards over the information once it is in their possession, or if required by law.

What are privacy and data protection laws?

Privacy and data protection laws regulate the collection, storage, use, and disclosure of personal information of individuals. This can include information about employees, and employees of third parties.

What is PII?

PII is information that can be used to identify an individual, either by itself or when combined with other information. This includes information that directly identifies an individual, such as their name, address, phone number, or email address. It also includes information that can indirectly identify an individual, such as a combination of their gender, race, birth date, or geographic indicator. Other examples of PII include social security numbers, passport numbers, driver’s license numbers, and financial account or credit card numbers.
