Bio-Rad will consistently apply the principles herein.
Choice—Bio-Rad provides individuals the opportunity to choose (opt-out) whether their personal informationis (a) to be disclosed to any third party or (b) to be used for a purpose that is incompatible with the purpose(s)for which it was originally collected (or subsequently authorized). Bio-Rad will not provide to any third party
any HR-related personal information transferred from the EU to the U.S. except (i) as necessary to assist law
enforcement or as required by law or in connection with an investigation of illegal or criminal activity or otherexigent circumstances; (ii) to governmental agencies that have a statutory right to receive the information, suchas taxing authorities, (iii) to independent accountants, auditors and consultants in connection with itsaccounting, auditing and payroll activities; (iv) in certain individual circumstances with your knowledge andconsent (for instance, in connection with work-related travel plans and in the preparation of immigration

Bio-Rad will not use HR-related personal information except for legitimate employment purposes, and no otherpurpose whatsoever.
If Bio-Rad wishes to transfer any sensitive information to a third party, or if Bio-Rad intends to use any
sensitive information for a purpose that is incompatible with the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected(or subsequently authorized), Bio-Rad will first provide the subject individual affirmative or explicit (opt-in)
choice. Any such opt-ins should be either signed by the individual expressly opting-in or otherwise clearlyevidenced in writing. Sensitive information includes but is not limited to personal information specifying

for a purpose that is different from the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected (or subsequentlyauthorized), for instance, non-employment related purposes or in the context of the sale of one of our business
units, Bio-Rad will do so in compliance with the “Notice” and “Choice” principles above and allow an

protection as is required by the relevant principles. Bio-Rad will ensure continued compliance with this policy.
