Any health information you give us will only be used for the specific reasons you agree to or to comply with laws.
Will others see or use the data?
Third parties other than Razr, 83bar, and Medtronic might use the data if we hire them to help us with our business (for example, our vendors or suppliers). If so, we’ll contractually require those third parties to protect data in the same way that we protect data. Otherwise, we will not share data with other third parties without your permission.
How won’t we use the data?
We won’t use data for marketing purposes that are unrelated to the information you give us through website surveys and other communications with you.
How do we store and protect data?
We store, maintain, and protect data based on what data privacy and security standards are required in our industry, including those from the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). This includes removing any information from the data that could directly identify you when appropriate (known as “de-identifying” the data).
How long do we keep stored data?
We keep data for as long as we’re required to keep it under the laws that apply to us, or for as long as we agreed to keep the data in the contracts we sign (whichever time is longer). We’ll destroy the data when we’re done with it. If we can’t destroy the data for any reason, then we’ll continue to protect the data for as long as we have it.
