out of 100. Number 430 of 512, counting from the worst.
Where Amphenol does well
- Renewals 0 of 20. Nothing found.
- Data retention 3 of 15. Few problems found.
- No forced arbitration clause — disputes go to Connecticut courts, and the policy explicitly limits itself where local law cannot be contracted away.
- The privacy policy explicitly states "We do not sell your personal information" and "We do not share personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes." There is no account system, subscription, or auto-renew machinery at all — the site is purely informational and users are "not required to provide any personal information as a condition of using our Website." The policy was updated recently (April 22, 2026), lists GDPR rights, California rights including deletion, correction, opt-out of sale/share, and an appeal right if a request is denied.
You cannot join or start a class-action lawsuit against Amphenol, and you give up your right to a jury trial — disputes go to Connecticut state or federal courts under Connecticut law.
The fine print
6 clauses and findings from the draft archive, dated 1 October 2026. The plain English comes first; the small print is the company's own words. None of these has been checked yet.

How these were found
Terms of Use effective July 1, 2020, last updated September 12, 2024; Privacy Policy effective July 1, 2020, last updated April 22, 2026 — both read in full via direct fetch on October 1, 2026 (no mirror needed). Amphenol is a B2B components maker with a thin consumer surface: the site has no accounts, subscriptions, purchases, or consumer contracts, so several rubric categories (notably auto-renew) had nothing to evaluate and the score is kept modest. Group companies (Amphenol RF, Amphenol Aerospace, Amphenol CIT, Amphenol CS, etc.) maintain separate terms and privacy documents, which were not included; this assessment covers only the parent amphenol.com documents.
