I. INTRODUCTION
CEMEX (“CEMEX” or “we”) recognizes that individuals need to understand how their privacy is
protected, so we have established the following privacy statement (this “Privacy Statement”) for our
users. This Privacy Statement describes how CEMEX will collect, access, use and disclose your
personal information and information related to your use of the CEMEX Autodesk Plug-in (the
“Plug-in”).
For purposes of this Privacy Statement, “Personal Information” is data specifically about you, which
you typically provide on a voluntary basis. Aggregate or combined information includes data that is
related to you but studied as a group and does not identify you specifically. You cannot “opt-out”
from having aggregate information collected except as otherwise specified in this Privacy Statement.
Cemex Innovation Holding Ltd. (“CIH”), a Swiss company that has a registered address at General
Guissan Strasse 6300 Zug, Switzerland is the controller of your Personal Information. This means
that it determines the purpose for which, and the means by which, your Personal Information is
used and it is responsible for handling your information in accordance with any applicable law.
For the purpose of this Privacy Statement, Cemex Research Group AG (“CRG”), a Swiss affiliate of
CIH that has a registered address at Römerstrasse 13, 2555 Brügg bei Biel, Switzerland and Cemex
Operaciones México, S.A. de C.V. (“Cemex Operaciones Mexico”), a Mexican affiliate of CIH that has a
registered address at Avenida Ricardo Margain Zozaya #325, Colonia Valle del Campestre, San
Pedro Garza Garcia, Nuevo Leon, 66265, Mexico, are also joint controllers in respect of your
Personal Information. Since CRG and Cemex Operaciones Mexico provide certain back office
services to CIH, in certain circumstances, they will jointly decide how your Personal Information is
held and used; nevertheless, CIH will be responsible for answering any data subject request as set
forth in this Privacy Statement. This Privacy Statement is issued by CIH on behalf of CRG and Cemex
Operaciones Mexico.
