PRIVACY STATEMENT

INTRODUCTION PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT CAREFULLY.

This Privacy Statement tells you how we use information that we collect about you through this Dilon SBSS website operated by Dilon SBSS SA based in France. This Privacy Statement does not apply to situations where we have notified you that an alternative privacy statement applies, nor does it apply to other Dilon SBSS websites. You should review the privacy statement posted on other websites when you visit them. This website and this Privacy Statement are intended for a European audience.

We respect your privacy and intend to deal with your information in a manner that is fair and in line with your expectations and encourage you to read and consider the information provided in this Privacy Statement to confirm that is the case.

WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU?

The information we receive, and how we use it, depends on what you do when visiting our website. We collect and use non-personal information (information that does not identify you personally, directly or indirectly (i.e. your name, address, phone number or email)) differently than your personal information.

YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Personal information is information that can specifically identify you, such as your:

• first and last name;
• address, telephone number, e-mail address or other contact information;
• medical device serial number;
• personal health information;
• date of birth or age;
• social media username or profile;
• interests and qualifications;
• Professional information about you if you apply for a job at Dilon SBSS;
• IP (Internet Protocol) address when such address is associated with a specific user.

Dilon SBSS will not obtain data enabling you to be personally identified unless you give us this information by filling in and sending us the forms on the site.

We collect personal information about our users in two ways:

1. when you enter personal information on certain pages of the website. For example, you may fill out a registration form for a particular service, participate in a survey, or complete a contact form;
2. using automated means, specifically through cookies. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website. For more information about cookies, please click here.

We may use the information that you have shared with us through this website (other than sensitive information, which is discussed separately below) for the following purposes:

• to respond to your requests;
• to provide the services or information you request;
• to allow you to register certain products or services, or enhance their functionality;
• to resolve and track the status of any consumer and/or product or service issues;
• to manage our relationship with you and facilitate any necessary follow up (e.g. by storing relevant information and preferences for a reasonable amount of time);
• to enter into or perform a contract with you (e.g. in case you wish to order products or services from us);
• to enable you to participate in our online communities, including social media and blogs;
• To contact you for market research or marketing purposes where you have given us permission to do so;
• In the event that you apply for a job at Dilon SBSS, to assess your suitability for employment by us and to carry out any subsequent interview process;
• In other ways to which you consent.

Dilon SBSS may also use your personal information to the extent necessary to achieve the following legitimate interests, so long as compatible with your rights and expectations of privacy:

• for analytical purposes in order to research, develop and improve programs, products, services and content;
• to anonymize your information by removing any personal identifiers (your name, e-mail address, social security number, etc.) so that it may be used for other purposes. In this case, the anonymized information would no longer identify you and may be treated like other non-personal information. For more details please see the relevant section below;
• to enforce this Privacy Statement and other rules about your use of this website;
• to protect our rights or property;
• as necessary to protect someone's health, safety or welfare;
• in order to comply with a law or regulation, court order or other legal process.

WHAT IS SENSITIVE INFORMATION?

Some types of personal information are sensitive information. Sensitive information is personal information revealing or relating to your health (such as your device serial number, or the date of an implant), genetic or biometric data, your racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life or sexual orientation, political opinions or trade union membership.

Dilon SBSS will only collect and process your sensitive information:

• in ways for which you have given your explicit consent;
• to protect the vital interests of you or another person, in cases where your explicit consent cannot be given or reasonably requested;
according to applicable laws which include suitable and specific measures to safeguard your fundamental rights and interests;
• where the processing is necessary for medical purposes and we are, under the circumstances, under a duty of confidentiality equivalent to the duty of confidentiality of a health professional; to establish, exercise, or defend a legal claim.

For example:

• We may collect sensitive information directly from you, when you voluntarily provide it to us for a particular purpose (e.g. when you contact us with a question or suggestion about our products and services);
• We may also collect sensitive information about patients through healthcare professionals who we work with to provide therapy or technical support for our products or services to you;
• We may collect sensitive information as required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, European, and other governmental authorities in order to assure safe and effective use of our products and services;
• We may collect sensitive information about participants who have explicitly consented to participate in clinical trials, studies, and other research initiatives.

WHAT ABOUT WEBSITE SECURITY?

Security is very important to us. We also understand that security is important to you. We use industry standard measures to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
