How We Share Personal Data
Amway does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We do share your personal data among us as joint controllers and with:
• | Related entities operating direct selling businesses around the world under the company name Amway, to whom it is reasonably necessary or desirable for Amway to disclose personal data; |

International Data Transfers
We transfer the personal data we collect about you to entities within the Amway organisation, as well as to third-party service providers that process personal data on our behalf. Some of these companies and service providers are located in countries other than the country in which the personal data was originally collected. The laws of those countries may not have the same level of data protection as the country in which you initially provided the personal data. When we transfer your personal data to other countries, we will protect that personal data as described in this Privacy Notice and in accordance with applicable law.
For personal data originating from the EEA that are transferred to countries that have not been recognised by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection, we have put in place contractual safeguards (based on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for data transfers outside the EEA) or rely on an equivalent legal mechanism to ensure that your personal data remain protected. For more information on the safeguards we have put in place to protect your personal data when transferred outside the EEA (including how to obtain a copy or consult these safeguards), please contact us at PrivacyOffice@amway.com
How We Protect Personal Data
We maintain appropriate technical and organisational security safeguards designed to protect the personal data we process against accidental, unlawful or unauthorised destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure, or use.
How Long We Retain Personal Data
We store personal data as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collect the data (see above under “How We Use the Personal Data We Collect”), except if required or allowed otherwise by law. Please contact us using our contact details provided below if you have any questions with respect to our data retention practices.
