Do Not Track

Your browser and other mechanisms may permit you to send do-not-track signals or other similar signals via your browser settings to express your preferences regarding online tracking.

Arcadium Lithium is a global organization with its corporate address in Ireland. As part of the services offered to you through our website, and during our ordinary business operations, the personal data we collect may be transferred to countries outside your home country, including the United States. Our servers, databases, and service providers may be located in the United States. Where required, we will ask you to consent to the collection, use, transfer and other processing of your personal data in or to the United States or other countries for the purposes described in this Notice. We will only transfer your personal data outside of your home country where we are satisfied that adequate levels of protection are in place to protect the confidentiality, integrity and security of your personal data or adequate security measures are adopted in compliance with applicable data protection laws. For additional information regarding such steps, please contact us using the details provided in the “Contact Arcadium Lithium” section of this Notice.

Use of Special Features or Areas of Our Website

This Notice may be supplemented or amended from time to time by privacy notices that are specific to and appear on individual Arcadium Lithium websites, including but not limited to our investor relations and career sites. Generally, these notices provide details about the personal data we collect or do not collect on such pages or areas of a website, why we need that information, and choices you may have about the use of that information.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is not intended for children. Arcadium Lithium does not knowingly or intentionally gather personal data from persons who are under the age of 18. If it comes to our attention that a child under 18 submits personal data to us, we will attempt to delete the information as soon as possible. If you are a parent or guardian of a child who has provided personal data without your knowledge and consent, you may request we remove this information by contacting us using the details provided in the “Contact Arcadium Lithium” section of this Notice.

Security

We take commercially reasonable precautions designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity and security of the personal data we collect. Unfortunately, the storage and transmission of electronic information is not completely secure. Although we strive to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of information stored on our or our vendors’ servers or transmitted via email or through our website; you transmit personal data to us at your own risk.

Retention of Your Personal Data

We keep personal data for as long as required to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. In general, we retain your personal data for a period of time corresponding to a statute of limitation, for example to maintain an accurate record of your dealings with us, such as pursuant to a supplier, vendor or customer contract so that we can raise or defend a legal claim. However, in some circumstances we may retain personal data for other periods of time, for instance where we are required to do so in accordance with legal, tax and accounting requirements, or if required to do so by a legal process, legal authority, or other governmental entity having authority to make the request, for so long as required.

Links to Other Websites

For your convenience, this website may contain certain hyperlinks to other Arcadium Lithium websites or to websites outside Arcadium Lithium. By visiting a linked website from a Arcadium Lithium website, you acknowledge that Arcadium Lithium is providing these links to you only as a convenience and you agree that we do not control, and that we are not responsible for, the content, nature, reliability or information handling practices of such linked websites. Data collection on the hyperlinked pages and sites is governed by the privacy policies posted on those websites.

Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you reside, you may have one or more rights, such as those set forth below, relating to our processing of your personal data under applicable law (for example, the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2018, the GDPR and the UK GDPR, as applicable). These rights are not absolute and some of these rights will be subject to specific requirements or limitations under applicable law.

Your Rights

  • Opt-out: You may have the right to withdraw your consent for us to collect, use, disclose or otherwise process your personal data. For example, if you wish to opt out of receiving electronic marketing communications, you can use the ‘unsubscribe’ link provided in our emails or otherwise contact us directly and we will stop sending you such communications.
  • Access, correction and erasure: You may have the right to request access to and obtain a copy of any of your personal data that we may hold, to request correction of any inaccurate data relating to you and to request the deletion of your personal data under certain circumstances.
  • Data portability: Where we are relying upon your consent as the justification for processing your personal data, or the fact that such processing is necessary to perform a contract to which you are party or to take steps at your request prior to entering a contract, and the personal data is processed by automated means, you may have the right to receive all such personal data which you may have provided us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and also to require us to transmit it to another controller where this is technically feasible.
  • Objection or restriction of processing: You may have the right to object to or restrict our processing of your personal data under specific circumstances. Where your personal data is subject to restriction we will only process it with your consent or as permitted under applicable law.
  • Complaints: Please contact us using the details provided in the “Contact Arcadium Lithium” section of this Notice if you have any questions or complaints. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority of your habitual residence, place of work or place of alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes applicable law. For example, in Jersey you should contact the Jersey Office of the Information Commissioner (https://jerseyoic.org/) and in the UK you should contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (https://ico.org.uk/global/contact-us/ or 0303 123 1113).
  • Right to object to processing (including profiling) based on legitimate interest grounds: You may have the right to object to the processing of your personal data where we are relying upon legitimate interests to process personal data. If you object, we must stop such processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or that such processing is otherwise permitted by applicable law.
  • Right to object to direct marketing (including profiling): You may have the right to object to our use or processing of your personal data (including profiling) for direct marketing purposes, such as when we use your personal data to invite you to our promotional events that we believe may be of interest to you. If you wish to opt out of receiving direct marketing communications, you can use the ‘unsubscribe’ link provided in our emails or otherwise contact us directly and we will stop sending you such communications.

Fees

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other above-listed rights). In some cases, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive, or if you request multiple copies of the relevant information. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.

What we may need from you

To access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other above-listed rights), we may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the personal data (or to exercise any of your other above-listed rights). This is another appropriate security measure designed to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who is not entitled to receive it.

Contact Us

Please contact us using the details provided in the “Contact Arcadium Lithium” section of this Notice if you wish to exercise any of your rights, or if you have any enquiries or complaints regarding the processing of your personal data.

We reserve the right to do so, at any time, by posting a revised version on our website prior to any such change taking effect. It is important for you to review this Notice regularly. These changes will be effective and will supersede all prior versions of any Arcadium Lithium privacy policy or privacy notice as of the date we post a revised version on our website.

Arcadium Lithium Cookie Policy

What are Cookies?

Cookies are files or pieces of information that may be stored on your computer (or other internet-enabled devices, such as a smartphone or tablet) when you visit a website. A cookie will usually contain the name of the website from which the cookie has come from, the “lifetime” of the cookie (i.e., how long it will remain on your device) and a value, which is usually a randomly generated unique number.

How we use cookies

Our website uses technologies that enhance user friendliness and engagement, to keep our website operating as smoothly as possible and to provide web services and functionalities for each visitor. Examples of these technologies are cookies, pixel tags, local storage objects and scripts. We may use cookies for a variety of purposes. For example, to calculate web statistics, or improve your experience when you visit our website.

Each browser accessing the Arcadium Lithium website is given a unique cookie, which is then used to determine the extent of repeat usage, usage by a registered user versus by an unregistered user, and to help develop content based on user interests and behavior. We also aggregate and anonymize the information collected to measure certain traffic patterns, which areas of our websites you have visited, and your visiting patterns. We use this research to understand our users’ habits so that we can make your experience on our website a better one. We may use this information to better personalize the content, banners, and promotions on our sites.

Cookies we use

We may use the following cookies on our website:

  • Functional cookies: using these cookies is essential in order to ensure that our website operates properly. They are used to save your user preferences, detect misuse of our website and services and to distribute the load on our servers, which keeps our website available. Certain services you may request cannot be provided without these cookies.
  • Web statistics cookies: we use these cookies to determine which parts of our website interest our visitors. This enables us to make the structure, navigation, and content of our website as user friendly as possible for you. These cookies are used to (i) keep track of the number of visitors to our web pages; (ii) keep track of the amount of time each user spends on our web pages; (iii) determine the order in which a visitor visits the various pages of our website; (iv) assess which parts of our website need to be changed; and (v) optimize our website.
  • Google Analytics: Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. Google Analytics uses cookies to analyze how you use our website. The information generated by the cookie is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, Google Analytics provides an IP masking feature, which can be activated by us. IP masking is activated on our website, which means that your IP address will be shortened by Google (IP masking/truncating) before it is collected, within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of Arcadium Lithium to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to us.

The IP address provided by Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You may refuse the use of these cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser as described in this Notice. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of our website. In addition, you can find more information about Google’s collection and use of data (cookies and IP address) and how to prevent such use and collection here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/181881?hl=en.

Please note that on our website, Google Analytics code is supplemented by “gat._anonymizeIp();” to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses (so called IP-masking).

We or our third-party service providers also may use collected information to establish connections among related web browsers and devices (such as smartphones, tablets, computers, and TVs) for targeted advertising, analytics, attribution, and reporting purposes. These third parties may match your browsers or devices if you log into the same online service on multiple devices or if your devices share similar attributes that support an inference that they are used by the same person or household. This means that information about your activity on our website or apps on your current browser or device may be combined with information collected from your other browsers or devices.

How to manage your cookies

If you do not want our website to store cookies on your device, you can change your browser settings so that you receive a warning before certain cookies are stored. Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings, which means that you can adjust your settings so that your browser refuses most of our cookies or only certain cookies from third parties. You can also withdraw your consent to cookies by deleting the cookies that have already been stored. Please refer to your browser instructions or help screen to learn more about how to adjust or modify your browser settings.

Please be aware that if you do not want to accept any cookies and change your browser settings accordingly, you may not be able to use all the features of our website to the fullest extent possible or you will be unable to view certain parts of our website. Please note that you will have to change your settings for each browser and device you use. Such methods will not work with respect to certain non-cookie online tracking technologies.

If you use different devices to view and access our website (e.g., your computer, smartphone, tablet, and television), you will need to ensure that each browser on each device is adjusted to suit your cookie preferences.
