Data Protection Statement

Last Revised:  05/05/2026

 

Emerson is committed to protecting the personal data of its customers, employees, vendors, and investors, all of whom expect us to adhere to the highest standards of data privacy and security.

Emerson first implemented a formal Data Protection Program to keep pace with the rigorous requirements of the 1995 European Union (EU) Data Protection Directive. Over time, the global data privacy and security landscape has experienced an unprecedented and rapid level of change in technology, regulations, and stakeholder expectations. 

To respond to this changing environment, in 2017, Emerson undertook an inventory of its Data Protection systems, processes, and controls. These efforts resulted in the re-design and implementation of a Global Information Governance Program, enabling Emerson to stay abreast of key data privacy and security developments worldwide, and to adapt our global operations to remain compliant in this shifting landscape.  

Emerson’s Global Information Governance Program requires all Emerson businesses, wherever located, to adhere to at least the core data handling and documentation requirements of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Emerson’s program is supported by an updated Personal Data Privacy Policy, training, corresponding procedures, and the appointment of local and functional data protection coordinators around the world. In addition, Emerson has implemented a rigorous Products, Services and Solutions Security Policy requiring secure product development and product privacy and security risk review at all Emerson businesses.  

Emerson continues to expand its Global Information Governance Program to meet the challenges presented by the proliferation of data protection legislation around the world. The GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its amendment, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and countless other national, regional, and local laws change the way companies like Emerson must administer and document the collection, movement, and processing of personal data.  While data regulations are dynamic, they do not change the fundamental principles upon which Emerson has historically relied to manage personal data. Emerson’s Global Information Governance Program will remain measured and nimble to maintain a strong, effective, and sustainable program that will be able to mature and adapt to future regulatory developments and our stakeholders’ needs.  Emerson has and will continue to place keen emphasis on the importance of keeping personal data secure and respecting the privacy rights of individuals around the world.
