Privacy Policy & Terms of Use
Effective Date: August 2016
Last Updated: December 2021
Introduction
Welcome to Senseonics.com and its affiliated websites (including global.eversensediabetes.com and eversensediabetes.com) which are owned and operated by Senseonics, Incorporated ("Senseonics", "us" or "we"). At Senseonics®, we seek to improve the lives of people with diabetes by enhancing their ability to manage the disease with ease, convenience, and accuracy. To enable this, we may collect certain personal and health information from website visitors, interested parties, and users of our products and services, for the reasons described below. We are committed to respecting your privacy and protecting your data that we collect by, among other things, following the below guidelines:
This PPTOU was last updated on the date listed above. Because we may implement changes at any time, we encourage you to review this document regularly when you visit our websites, or use our devices, apps, or software. When you utilize any of Senseonics products and services, you are agreeing to the terms of this PPTOU and how your data is collected, transmitted, stored, and/or processed. If you do not agree to this PPTOU, please do not access or use Senseonics websites, devices, apps, or software.
In addition to this PPTOU, you may be subject to additional terms when you access particular services or materials on certain areas of our websites, or by following a link from our websites to third-party websites. As explained in more detail below, you will also be subject to an End-User License Agreement for certain Senseonics apps or software that you use.
In Case of Medical Emergency
If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your doctor, 911 (in the US), or 112 (in the European Union (EU)) immediately. The content provided on or through Senseonics products, mobile apps, software, and websites, do not offer medical advice, decision making, or opinion, is for your general education and information only, and cannot replace your relationship with your healthcare provider. Accordingly, you should always talk to your healthcare provider for diagnosis, therapy, and treatment decisions.
Scope of Privacy Policy & Terms of Use
This Privacy Policy & Terms of Use (“PPTOU”) is subject to all applicable laws and regulations regarding data protection and privacy within the various countries and territories where Senseonics operates (including the United States (US) and certain countries in Europe). Our Sites contain information about Senseonics Products and Services that are approved for use in Europe (specifically the European Economic Area (EEA)), US, and other specified geographies. Accordingly, this PPTOU contains references applicable to certain countries or territories that may impose specific standards or requirements regarding Senseonics’ receipt, storage, handling, or sharing of your information (for example, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)). With respect to applicable US privacy and security standards for health data, you may be familiar with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”). While Senseonics is not legally subject to this law because it does not qualify as a “Covered Entity” under HIPAA, Senseonics believes that protecting your health information is of the utmost importance. Therefore, in many instances, Senseonics applies HIPAA standards as a guide in its own practices and policies towards protecting your personal and health information in the US.
Sources of Data Collection
Senseonics’ Products and Services (defined below) are designed to address many of the problems of traditional glucose sensor technologies and to provide an unmatched combination of accuracy and long sensor life. In an effort to meet this goal and provide patients and customers a beneficial experience, Senseonics collects certain types of data from customers as they utilize our products, services, and tools. This PPTOU applies to data received or collected through the following sources:
The Devices, Mobile Apps, Software and Sites, whether one or more are utilized by a user, customer, or patient, are collectively referred to in this PPTOU as “Senseonics Products and Services.” By obtaining and using Senseonics Products and Services, you confirm Senseonics will process and utilize the data that we collect from you in accordance with this PPTOU and subject to the certain elections you make. Importantly, this PPTOU covers how we treat your personal and health data related to your current and historical glucose values and other relevant health information we collect. This collection and use is subject to important limitations and rights to opt in or out as noted below. Some of these rights may depend on the region or country in which you live.
In addition to this PPTOU, each of the Mobile Apps and Software are subject to additional terms and conditions found in an End-User License Agreement (EULA), which includes data and privacy-related provisions for information collected and transmitted through the Mobile Apps or Software. Prior to using a Senseonics Mobile App or Software, Customers must accept and agree to the EULA that is presented to them (and which may be updated from time to time) and be required or have the option to make other elections regarding the collection and use of data.
What Data Does Senseonics Collect?
Data Collection Generally
In order to provide Senseonics Products and Services, we collect information from you as set forth in more detail in this section. For patients and customers in Europe, subject to important rights to opt in or opt out of sharing/synching data, this information may include sensitive personal data subject to protections under the GDPR, such as your historical glucose values and other health-related information. By utilizing Senseonics Products and Services, you agree to our collection, transfer, storage and/or processing of your information for the purposes, and subject to the limitations, described in this PPTOU.
When You Provide Personal Information
In connection with your use of Senseonics Products and Services, we may receive information about you which we refer to as “Personal Information.” Personal information is data that can be used to identify you personally, such as your name, date of birth, home address, phone number, e-mail address, medical device serial number, or certain personal health information. Personal Information may include, without limitation, the following:
· Information you may be required to provide in order to register with us, or, if applicable, to create an account with us to use a Senseonics Product or Service.
· Information you provide to us relating to your use of Senseonics Products and Services, including customer feedback through phone calls, emails, texts, and/or Mobile Apps and Software, as well as the related metadata.
· Information we receive from you that is transmitted through Senseonics Products and Services, including:

o Information we receive about your use of Senseonics Products and Services, including data used for customer support and product improvement, your IP address and information regarding your computer, internet service, browser, and your use of the Senseonics Products and Services (such as time spent on websites, settings, etc.)
o Information provided by you or about you by another person that you have designated to receive any of your Personal Information through the use of Senseonics Products and Services (“Designated Recipient”)
When You Download a Senseonics Mobile App
When you download and install a Senseonics Mobile App, such as the Eversense Mobile Application or the Eversense NOW Mobile App, you may be asked to create an account, depending on your geographic location. When you create an account, we will ask for some Personal Information, including your email address, age, geography, etc. Your email address will be your account user name, which you will use to log into your account, and we will ask you to create a password. Mobile Apps may also request additional demographic and health-related Personal Information, such as age, height, weight, gender, etc. The Mobile Apps will synchronize with the Devices to capture and store blood glucose level data and other health-related information. Customers in the European Economic Area (EEA) will have certain options to elect to synchronize or not synchronize data. (As mentioned above, you may be subject to additional terms under a EULA when using Mobile Apps.)
Your Eversense Account for the Eversense DMS
Senseonics products, like the Eversense Smart Transmitter or the Eversense Mobile App, may connect to a personal computer to upload the sensor glucose history to the Software, such as the Eversense Diabetes Management System (DMS), for review and analysis by you and your physician. To do this, if you have not already done so, depending on your geography you may be required to create an Eversense account. When you create an account, we will ask for some Personal Information, including your email address, age, geography, etc. Your email address will be your account user name, which you will use to log into your account, and we will ask you to create a password. You may be able to customize your Senseonics experience by adding other types of information to your account. Your Eversense account will also be utilized for Customer Care purposes and maintaining the security of your data. The Software will synchronize with the Mobile Apps to capture and store sensor glucose level data and other health-related information, with EEA customers being able to elect certain synchronization options.
When You Report a Complaint
If you have an issue, concern, or complaint (“Complaint”) with a Device, a Mobile App, Software or a Site, you can submit your Complaint by contacting Senseonics directly (see “Contact Us” section below). Once you contact us, we will manually log your Complaint into our Customer Care System and, as appropriate or necessary, into our Complaint Handling System. When reporting a complaint, you will be asked for Personal Information such as your name, your sensor insertion date, your sensor serial number, the transmitter serial number, and other information that may be relevant to your Complaint.
When You Visit/Use Senseonics Products and Services
Senseonics collects industry standard data from everyone who visits our Sites—even if you do not have a Senseonics account. This includes log data that automatically records Personal Information about your visit, such as your browser type, operating system, the URL of the page that referred you, the different actions you performed, and the IP address you used to access pages on the Site. Additionally, when you use Senseonics Products and Services using a mobile device, we may collect technical information such as the type of mobile device you use, a unique device identifier (for example, your mobile device’s IMEI number, the MAC address of the mobile device’s wireless network interface, or the mobile phone number used by the mobile device), mobile network information, your mobile operating system, the type of mobile browser you use and time zone setting. We use this type of information to tailor your experience with Senseonics Products and Services, to analyze who is visiting our Sites, to prevent misuse of the Sites and Senseonics Products and Services, and to ensure the Sites and Senseonics Products and Services are working properly. This information is stored by the third party that hosts our Sites. We also collect data from cookies, as outlined in more detail below.
When You Sync Your Device
When you sync your Device through a Mobile App or Software, data recorded on your Device about your current and historical glucose values and any additional health-related Personal Information, is transmitted from your Device to Senseonics servers (hosted by a third party pursuant to an appropriate arrangement). Customers in the EEA may elect not to sync their data. Servers with Senseonics’ data are located in the Netherlands for customers residing in Europe, and in The Dalles, State of Oregon for US customers. Your data stored with Senseonics is primarily used to provide and operate the Senseonics Products and Services that you utilize, and is associated specifically with your account. Each time a sync occurs, data is logged regarding the transmission including, for example, the sync time and date, and technical information about the Devices. (If your data sync results in data transmission to a third-party not affiliated with Senseonics such as Apple Healthkit, mySugr or Glooko, which you may authorize or facilitate, your data will also be subject to that third party’s separate privacy terms and conditions.)
Information with Contracted Parties
We may contract with third-party organizations to provide Senseonics Products and Services (including, for example, our business partners, our product distributors, specialized contractors that provide technical, payment, and/or delivery services, and analytics providers). Under these arrangements, we may both provide them your information to allow them to perform their services, and we may receive information about you from them as well. Senseonics shall enter into appropriate agreements with these subcontractors that, among other things, ensure the adequate protection and confidentiality of your information, and that only the minimum necessary data is disclosed or transmitted for purposes of the subcontractor’s services/function.
Who Controls Your Data?
For purposes of the GDPR, the “Controller” of the data collected from you, including any Personal Data, is Senseonics, Incorporated, a company based in the United States of America, with its headquarters at 20451 Seneca Meadows Pkwy, Germantown, Maryland 20876. Therefore, by using Senseonics Products or providing personal data for any of the purposes stated above, you acknowledge that your personal data may be transferred to or stored in the United States where we are established. The United States may offer a lower level of protection of data privacy than the EEA. However, as applicable for EEA users of Senseonics Products and Services, Senseonics collects, stores, manages, and utilizes all collected data in compliance with the GDPR, as required by article 3.2 GDPR.
In the United States, Senseonics is also considered to have control of your data collected through your use of Senseonics Products and Services, and complies with all applicable data privacy and security laws. In all countries, Senseonics has a legitimate interest in offering and operating Senseonics Products and Services for your beneficial use and shall utilize your data to do so as well as provide you with relevant updates and notifications. In addition (in particular for those countries subject to the GDPR), Senseonics will request your consent or authorization when necessary for certain, specific uses of your data.
How We Use Your Data
General. As we mentioned, we may use your data to facilitate, manage, and maintain your beneficial use of Senseonics Products and Services. Separately, we may also use your data to develop and/or improve products and services (including based on information from user groups), appropriately address your Complaints, inform you of relevant product or service updates, helpful information, tips and reminders, and provide you with targeted offers and proposals that may be of interest to you. For example, we will use the registration information that you provide to manage your account and to link your registration information to the information collected by the Devices, Mobile Apps and Software, and purchases from our Sites. As another example, we may use your data to contact you by phone, email, and/or text, to confirm your correct and comfortable use of Senseonics Devices and to offer assistance and guidance if necessary. When utilizing your data as described, Senseonics shall take all appropriate steps to comply with the applicable data privacy and security laws in your country, including obtaining your consent when/if necessary and not accessing data where required.
Mobile Apps and Sites. We will use the information you provide through your Eversense account from the Mobile Apps and Eversense Diabetes Management System, to enhance your user experience and make Senseonics Products and Services more useful to you. For this reason, if shared we will use the data about your current and historical glucose values and any other health-related information we collect in connection with our provision of Senseonics Products and Services. Also, we may use the information you provide in the event we need to contact you in connection with the provision of Senseonics Products and Services, including sending important information to you regarding Senseonics Products and Services, such as technical notices, updates and alerts, relevant data privacy or security events, or changes to our terms and conditions. If you do not share data with us, we may not be able to contact you in such instances. We may also use information that we collect when you visit our Sites and Mobile Apps for our internal business purposes, such as data analysis, audits, fraud monitoring and prevention, developing or improving products, enhancing or modifying our services, and identifying usage trends.
De-identified Data. In certain cases, we may redact or delete information from the Personal Information we collect that could identify you, and we may use such non-personal, de-identified data for business and other legitimate purposes as we deem appropriate, such as research and development, product improvements, publications and documents, business operations and process improvements, and marketing purposes. We may also provide de-identified data to third parties pursuant to business arrangements Senseonics enters into with such third parties. See below for more information about de-identified data. In all cases, Senseonics shall take steps to comply with your country’s laws on data privacy and protection.
Requests to Senseonics. As mentioned above, when permitted by applicable law, we may use your Personal Information to send you emails and notices regarding opportunities relating to our products and services. You may opt out of such communications by contacting us by email at dataprivacy@senseonics.com, by mail at the address listed in the “Contact Us” section below, or through the process specified in the individual communication itself, and you may also opt in again through one of those methods. We will try to comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable. Please keep in mind that although you may opt out of receiving promotional or marketing-related emails, you may not opt out from receiving important messages regarding your use of Senseonics Products and Services (for example, technical alerts or notices, certain clinical information, etc.).

How Does Senseonics Keep Your Data Safe?
Industry-Standard Data Security. Senseonics contracts with third-party providers to host and manage the Mobile Apps, Software, and Sites. The contracts between Senseonics and such providers require them to use industry-standard technology and security measures to protect your Personal Information and, among other things, require the transmission of your data in encrypted form. To access your account in the Mobile App or Software, you will typically need to log in using your email address and password. You are responsible for keeping this password confidential, and we recommend that you do not share your password with anyone. While Senseonics employs all reasonable measures and safeguards that are consistent with industry standards for your data privacy and security, no data transmission or storage system is 100% impenetrable because of the inherent nature of the Internet, and therefore we cannot guarantee that your data is absolutely safe from intrusion by others. Accordingly, please take care in authorizing access to your data by others, and keep in mind that any transmission of your data outside of Senseonics Products and Services is done at your own risk (and may be subject to separate privacy standards belonging to the applicable outside party). If you feel that your interactions, communications, or data sharing with Senseonics or through Senseonics Products and Services is no longer secure, has been inappropriately handled, or may be subject to a security breach, please immediately notify us by emailing dataprivacy@senseonics.com. (Of course, if Senseonics discovers a significant data loss or breach, we will inform you about the incident and take all appropriate steps to control and mitigate the data loss or breach.)
Appropriate Contracts with Data Processors, Importers. For patients and customers in Europe, Senseonics may contract with third-party providers that may receive, store and process your Personal Information outside of the EEA. In such event, Senseonics will require that such third parties comply with the obligations of a 'data importer' in the 2021 EU Model clauses approved by the European Commission pursuant to Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021, for the transfer of personal data to data processors established in non-EEA countries, or another relevant data transfer mechanism as laid out in Chapter 5 GDPR. Additionally, the data that we collect from you, including data that is stored and processed within the EEA, may be accessed and processed by Senseonics staff operating outside the EEA. These staff may be engaged in the maintenance of Senseonics Products and Services, including the provision of essential support and operational services required to ensure your continued, beneficial use of Senseonics Products and Services. To maintain an adequate level of data protection, Senseonics commits to complying with the GDPR, including incorporating the above-mentioned Standard Contractual Clauses for data protection when applicable. For data transmission outside the EEA to US-based Senseonics employees (or contracted third parties), Senseonics may additionally obtain data security certification(s) from third-party consultants or government programs, obtain patient or customer consent if necessary, or both.
Enrollment/Registration in Senseonics Products and Services. As mentioned above, when you use Senseonics Products and Services, you may need to complete a registration or enrollment process where you will be asked to agree to the transfer, storage and processing of your Personal Information as described in this PPTOU. Enrollment requirements may differ by your geographic location. By checking the tick box (or tapping the “Accept” or “Agree” button) when prompted during the registration or enrollment process, you agree to this transfer, storing and processing. Please note that if you do not agree to this transfer, storing, and processing, we will be unable to provide you with the full, beneficial use of Senseonics Products and Services. During or after your registration or enrollment process, if Senseonics requires additional consent from you to authorize certain types of data use, Senseonics will contact you separately to obtain such consent as may be necessary under your country/region’s applicable data protection laws.
What Data May be Shared with Third Parties?
Data That Could Identify You
In order to provide Senseonics Products and Services, we may disclose some or all of your Personal Information (as defined above) under one or more of the following circumstances:
Data That Does Not Identify You (De-identified Data)
Senseonics may share or sell individual or aggregated de-identified data that does not identify you personally, with partners and the public in a variety of ways. (If the privacy laws in your country require patient consent, Senseonics shall take appropriate steps to obtain consent as necessary.) De-identified data means data that is not associated with or linked to any personal data and would not, by itself or in combination with other data, permit the identification of individual persons. When we provide this information, we perform appropriate procedures so that the data does not identify you and we contractually prohibit recipients of the data from tracing it back to you. We could also use de-identified data to generate research or reports and publish such information or provide it to third parties.
Data that You Direct Us to Share
You can authorize or direct us to share data with other parties (such as a Designated Recipient), and to the extent reasonable, we will appropriately transmit your data to such parties. For example, you might authorize us to permit your physician to access your historical glucose values and other health-related information. Upon your authorization to share your data with a third party, such as your physician or other provider, hospital, family member, or caregiver, that data once shared will also be subject to that third-party’s privacy policy. You can revoke your consent to share information with a third party at any time by utilizing the process offered in the Mobile App, Software, or Site, or emailing us at dataprivacy@senseonics.com. Any such revocation will be effective on a go-forward basis, and not affect data already shared in the past.
What Happens to Information You Share with Others
We have no control over your Designated Recipients, and once a Designated Recipient receives your Personal Information, that Designated Recipient could use and disclose your Personal Information in ways that are compliant with this PPTOU. We do not verify the contact information you provide for each Designated Recipient. Once you provide such contact information, until you terminate the designation, we will send Personal Information to the contact information you have authorized, and you are responsible for the accuracy of that information. Therefore, please take appropriate care and thought in deciding who will be Designated Recipients of your data.
Your Designated Recipients (for example, your physician, family member, or caregiver) may share your Personal Information with Senseonics for purposes relating to their use of Senseonics Products and Services (such as DMS Pro or the NOW application), and we will use such Personal Information in accordance with this PPTOU. If your Designated Recipients have your Personal Information, you authorize them to provide such Personal Information to us as they deem appropriate.
Once you share any Personal Information with a third party, including third parties who are linked at our Sites, we have no control over that Personal Information and how it is used by any such third party. You should refer to the terms of service, privacy policy and other provisions of the websites for each third party to which you provide any Personal Information. For example, you may elect for certain of our Mobile Apps to share glucose readings and other Personal Information with the Apple Health app, Glooko®, and/or other third party products that store such readings. Once our Mobile App shares such readings and other Personal Information, we no longer have any control over such readings and other Personal Information, and the use of or access to such readings and Personal Information by those third-party products. Therefore, you should understand the terms of use for each third-party product, as well as their applicable privacy policy, before you elect for our Mobile App (or any other Senseonics Products and Services) to share any of your Personal Information outside of Senseonics.
Your Rights and Responsibilities
As the data owner, you will maintain control over your data. You may update your information and account at any time by logging into your account on our Site or Mobile App and making the appropriate changes. You agree to keep your information and account current at all times while your account is active.
If you would like to review, correct, update, suppress, or delete Personal Information that you have provided to us, you may update such information maintained in your account on our Site or Mobile App, or contact us at dataprivacy@senseonics.com. In your request, please make clear what changes, corrections, suppression or limitations you would like to place on your Personal Information. For your protection, we may only implement requests with respect to the Personal Information associated with the particular email address that you use to send us your request, and we may need to verify your identity before implementing your request. We will try to comply with your request as soon as practicable. Please note that we may not be able to meet every request for a change, correction, suppression or limitation, and we may need to retain certain information for recordkeeping purposes, regulatory or legal reasons, and/or to complete any transactions that you began prior to requesting any change. In instances of Personal Information being deleted, there may still be residual information that will remain within our databases and other records, which will not be removed. Residents of EEA have the right to revoke their privacy consents at any time. In order to revoke your consent to use your data, please contact Senseonics in writing by one of the methods set out under “Contact Us” below. Any such revocation will be effective on a go-forward basis, and not affect data already shared in the past. Senseonics determines the period for the retention of data following the deactivation of an account based on regulatory requirements in a jurisdiction, its assessment of standard industry practices and technical feasibility.
How to Deactivate Your Eversense Account
You can deactivate your Senseonics account by contacting us at dataprivacy@senseonics.com. When you do so, data that can identify you and that is associated with your account will be subsequently removed from Senseonics Products and Services to the extent reasonably possible. Please note that while this data will be removed from our server based upon an automated schedule, such data may persist in our backup or archive storage for an indefinite period of time. Senseonics may continue to use your de-identified data after you deactivate your account.
Senseonics’ Policy regarding Children
Senseonics complies with its labeling and regulatory approvals in all applicable countries and territories, and will only market and promote Senseonics Products and Services to approved age groups. Currently, Senseonics products are not marketed or intended for use by individuals under 18 years of age in any jurisdiction. Further, and taking into account data regulations, under no circumstances will Senseonics knowingly market, promote, or recommend Senseonics Products and Services to any persons under the age of 13, nor will we knowingly collect any Personal Information from persons under 13. It is possible that a parent or legal guardian may subscribe to Senseonics Products and Services to assist in the provision of care for a patient who is under 13 (a decision to be made solely by the parent/guardian and the patient’s physician, without promotion or recommendation by Senseonics), but no person under 13 is permitted to directly use Senseonics Products and Services. If you are aware of a user under the age of 13 using Senseonics Products and Services directly, rather than through a parent or guardian, please contact us at dataprivacy@senseonics.com.
Adults with Guardians, Conservators or Other Legal Supervision
No person who lacks the legal competence to enter into a contract may directly use Senseonics Products and Services. A legal guardian, conservator or other person with the legal right to do so may subscribe to Senseonics Products and Services to assist in the provision of care for such a person. Such legal guardian, conservator or other person with legal right shall be responsible for ensuring that the decision to use Senseonics Products and Services is by such legal guardian, conservator or other person with legal right (along with the applicable healthcare professional), and not by the patient who lacks legal competence.
Your Ideas, Comments, and Feedback
While Senseonics welcomes your comments, suggestions, feedback and/or ideas submitted on or through our Sites or Mobile Apps, please note that any such information will be considered non-personal, non-confidential, and non-proprietary (other than actual Personal Information, as that term is defined above). By providing any ideas, information, concepts, know-how, techniques or materials to us through our Sites, Software, or Mobile Apps, you grant Senseonics an unrestricted, royalty-free, irrevocable license to use, reproduce, display, perform, modify, transmit and distribute them in any medium, and agree that Senseonics is free to use them for any purpose.
Cookie Policy
When you visit or use our Mobile Apps, Software, and/or Sites, we may log information using “cookies,” which are small data files stored on your storage drive by a website or program, to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience. As examples, we may use session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser), persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them), and other automatic data collection technologies. Cookies allow us to collect information such as browser type, time spent viewing Senseonics Products and Services, webpages visited, language preferences, and other anonymous traffic data. We and our service providers also use the information for security purposes, to facilitate navigation, to display information more effectively, and to personalize your experience while using Senseonics Products and Services. We also use cookies to gather statistical information about your use of the Senseonics Products and Services to continually improve their design and functionality, to understand how they are used, and to assist us with resolving questions or problems regarding them. Cookies further allow us to select which of our advertisements or offers are most likely to appeal to you, and we may display them while you use the Senseonics Products and Services or visit our Sites or other websites. The information we collect may include Personal Information, or we may maintain it or associate it with Personal Information we collect in other ways or receive from third parties. For many of the reasons cited above, we also may use cookies and similar or related technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or other online services (sometimes referred to as behavioral tracking).
If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to automatically decline cookies or be given the choice of declining or accepting the transfer to your computer of a particular cookie (or cookies) from a particular site. If, however, you do not accept these cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of the Sites or Software. For example, we may not be able to recognize your computer, and you may need to manually log in every time you visit. Although we would like to honor web browsers set with a “Do Not Track” signal, the Sites and Senseonics Products and Services do not currently respond to a DNT or similar signal.
Third-Party Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
Some content or applications, including advertisements, on the Sites are served by third parties, including advertisers, ad networks and servers, content providers, and application providers. These third parties may use cookies alone or in conjunction with web beacons or other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use our Sites. The information they collect may be associated with your Personal Information or they may collect information, including Personal Information, about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services. They may use this information to provide you with interest-based (behavioral) advertising or other targeted content.
We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should contact the responsible provider directly.
Links to other Sites
Mobile Apps, Software, and our Sites may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks, advertisers and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any Personal Information to these websites.
Access to Information
You may request to see a copy of information about you that has been collected and stored by Senseonics, and we will utilize all reasonable efforts to provide you with such information. For residents of Europe, we will comply with the GDPR that gives you the right to access information we hold about you, subject to the applicable process and any specific limits under the GDPR, including the right to be provided with a copy of your personal data undergoing processing without cost for the first copy in accordance with Article 15.3 of the GDPR. If you wish to request access to the information we hold about you in accordance with the GDPR, subsequent access requests may be subject to a fee to meet our reasonable costs in providing you with such information.
