Right to Delete
You may have the right to request that we delete any of your personal data that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions (the “right to delete”).

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

- Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
- Comply with a legal obligation.
- Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.
Pursuant to applicable law, we will delete, or we may deidentify, personal data not subject to one of these exceptions from our records and will direct our service providers to take similar action.
Exercising Your Rights
To exercise your applicable rights to know or delete described above, please email the Amentum Privacy Office. Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know or delete related to your personal data.

- Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal data.
- Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal data if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal data relates to you. We will only use personal data provided in the request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make it.
Under applicable law, you may also have a right to take legal action in relation to any breach of your rights regarding the processing of the personal data, as well as to lodge complaints before the competent data protection regulators.
