We collect personal information from you when you communicate with us, for example if you email or chat with our team with questions or support requests, we will collect your name, email address, and any personal information included in the body of your message. If you respond to a survey from Harmonic, we will collect the information provided in your response, which may include personal or contact information.

We generally retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, financial, or reporting obligations, to establish or defend legal claims, or for compliance and protection purposes.

• Whether we can achieve those purposes through other means
• Applicable legal requirements

When we no longer require the personal data we have collected about you, we may either delete it, anonymize it, or isolate it from further processing.

Note that in some cases, even if you submit a data deletion request, we may be required to retain your personal data, such as to comply with the law; maintain records of transactions; exercise, establish, or defend legal claims; or protect against fraud or abuse of our systems.
