Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights
You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of
your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your request, we will
disclose to you:
- The sources of the personal information we collected about you.

request). - Our business or commercial purpose for collecting that personal information.

disclosing:- disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.
Deletion Request Rights
The CCPA provides you with the right to request that we delete any of the personal information that we
collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your request,
we will delete your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.
We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service
providers to:
- Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or
service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing
business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you. - Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or
take legal action against those responsible for such activities. - Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.

or exercise another right provided for by law. - Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546
seq.). - Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest
that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information's deletion may
likely render impossible or seriously impair the research's achievement, if you previously provided
informed consent. - 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.
6. How to Exercise Your CCPA Rights
To exercise your right to access, data portability, and deletion as described above, please submit a
request to us by:
- Emailing: PrivacyOffice@Tenneco.com.
Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your
behalf, may make a consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a
consumer request on behalf of your minor child.
You may only make a consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The
consumer request must:
- Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom
we collected personal information or an authorized representative. - 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 information if we cannot verify your
identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a
verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal
information provided in a request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.
7. Response Timing, Format and Fees
We will respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of receipt. If additional time is required
(up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will provide our
written response by mail or email, at your request.
Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer
request's receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a
request, if applicable.
For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily
useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without
hindrance.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive,
or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made
that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
8. Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the
CCPA, we will not:
- Deny you goods or services.
- Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
- Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or
quality of goods or services. - Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or
other benefits, or imposing penalties.
9. Changes to Our Privacy Statement
We may modify or update this privacy statement from time to time. If we change this privacy statement,
we will notify you of the changes by publishing an updated statement on our Site. Where changes will
have a fundamental impact on the nature of the processing or otherwise have a substantial impact on
you, we will give you sufficient advance notice so that you have the opportunity to exercise any rights you
may have.
