Industrials

out of 100. Number 356 of 512, counting from the worst.
Where Ametek does well
- Arbitration 0 of 20. Nothing found.
- Renewals 0 of 20. Nothing found.
- No forced arbitration clause and no class-action waiver anywhere in the site terms — disputes go to Pennsylvania courts, which is better than most large corporates.
- An explicit 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' link, a cookie preference center, and honoring of Global Privacy Control opt-out signals are all offered.
- The CCPA policy commits to telling you why if a deletion request is denied, and lists a direct contact (ametekccpa@ametek.com, 877-920-2264).
- Job applicant data has a fixed 24-month retention outside the US with self-service access, correction, and deletion.
- As a B2B industrial maker there is no consumer subscription surface, so there are no auto-renewal or cancellation traps.
Anything you submit to the site — including your ideas and know-how, not just the files — becomes theirs to use forever, for any purpose, with no way to take it back.
The fine print

They can rewrite the rules at any time without telling you directly — you're expected to keep checking the page, and merely visiting counts as accepting whatever changed.

It is your responsibility to check periodically for any changes we make to the Terms of Use.

Your personal info feeds third-party ad targeting and analytics; AMETEK itself admits this counts as 'selling' and 'sharing' your data under California law.
We may also share personal information with third parties to enable personalized advertising. ... While we do not 'sell' personal information in the traditional sense (i.e., for money), our use of third-party analytics and advertising cookies may be considered 'selling' and 'sharing' under CCPA.

Termination of your access or use will not waive or affect any other right or relief to which AMETEK may be entitled at law or in equity. ...

How these were found
Terms of Use read in full from https://ametek.in/terms-of-use (identical text at https://www.ametek-land.com/about-us/termsofuse); no version/date shown on the document. The main privacy policy at https://www.ametek.com/privacy-policy is JavaScript-rendered and returned almost no text, so the policy family was read in full via the verbatim mirror at https://store.ametek-land.com/privacy-policy/ (Effective Date: March 31, 2022) and verbatim search snippets of the current ametek.com privacy text; the CCPA page (https://www.ametek.com/ccpa) is also JS-rendered and was captured via verbatim snippets of the official page. B2B industrial company with a thin consumer surface — public consumer-facing Terms of Sale were found but not scored; the score reflects only the website legal documents.
