privacy practices regarding the collection and use of personal information,
personal data or other regulated information associated with natural persons
(collectively, "personal data") relating to BSC websites, applications, or other
digital platforms, including but not limited to mobile sites and our
applications, directed to individuals in the United States (collectively, Sites)
that link to or otherwise reference this Policy. This Policy also describes your
choices regarding our use of your personal data and how you can exercise rights
related your information, as applicable, such as to request access,

INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE

Personal data is data that reasonably relates to or can be used to identify or
contact you or another member of your household, such as your name, email
address, telephone number or similar information. BSC collects personal data you
voluntarily give us, such as but not limited to, when you request information
via our Sites, submit your resume, register for Sites or events, sign up for
communications or interact with BSC team members.

We collect or obtain personal data from the following sources:

 * Directly from you.
 * From your interactions with the Sites.
 * Service providers and business partners that help us operate, maintain, and
   improve the Sites, our services, and our business.
 * Health care providers.
 * Research partners.
 * Social media.
 * Third-party web Sites and applications, such as WebMD and PulsePoint that may
   provide information to us via online forms.

Our Sites include interactive digital health tools, including enrollment
portals, through which information is collected from users. We also collect
information about your interactions with our Sites. We collect such information
using web logs, cookies, pixels, beacons and similar tools, some of which may be
operated by third parties. Our Sites automatically track certain behavior (usage
data) during visits, such as, referring/exit URLs and we also collect other
basic information about you which does not directly identify you but which may
correspond with you or a particular device. We use this information to learn
more about how our Sites and online resources are used and to otherwise improve
and administer the Site. We also use this information to enable us to deliver
information tailored to your interests and preferences, based on your use of the
Site. For example, we may collect the internet protocol address assigned to your
computer by your internet service provider. This address may change each time
you connect to the internet (a “dynamic” IP address), or it may remain the same
(a “static” IP address). In most cases, this information is collected
automatically, for our legitimate business interests. If you are a registered
user, we may use your usage data with or without your personal data, in order to
measure the Site's performance and improve the Site's design and functionality.
Depending upon the nature of our interactions with you, we collect and store the
following types of information from you:

 * Identifiers, such as first and last names, home or other physical address,
   email address, phone number, username, password, and other registration
   information;
 * Demographic information, such as gender, age, sexual orientation, race,
   ethnicity, income range, and date of birth, some of which may be protected
   characteristics under anti-discrimination laws;
 * Biometric information;
 * Financial information, such as credit card information and transaction
   history;
 * Internet and other electronic network activity information, such as
   information about how you interact with the Sites, and information collected
   through cookies and other technologies on the Sites;
 * Geolocation data;
 * Contact preferences, such as information voluntarily submitted to us for
   purposes of considering or ordering a product, receiving services and/or when
   you register for updates, or contact us;
 * Information about your emergency contacts, such as name and phone number;
 * Recordings of audio/video calls you have with us;
 * Professional or employment-related information, such as credentials provided
   on a curriculum vitae or resumé, professional history, professional license
   and identification numbers, business contact information, job title, and
   employer name;
 * Testimonials, including information gathered for our blog and community forum
   posts;
 * Surveys and questionnaire responses which can include sensitive information;
 * Education information;
 * Information that may be deemed sensitive under certain laws, such as login
   credentials, race or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs,
   sexual orientation, precise geolocation, biometric information, genetic data,
   subject study ID number, health information, medical record number and
   records provided by you or your healthcare provider(s) on your behalf; and
 * Inferences drawn from the categories of personal data described above.

When you provide us with personal data about your contacts we will only use it
for the specific reason for which it is provided. If you believe one of your
contacts has provided us with your personal data and you want to submit a
removal request, please contact us at globalprivacy@bsci.com.

Licensed medical professionals must provide additional personal data to register
(e.g., profession, title, Medical ID and clinical affiliation) in case of Sites
with restricted access. In addition to the uses mentioned above, we use this
data to review and verify your registration. We may obtain additional
information about you from other sources through your Unique Physician
Identification Number (UPIN).

Use of your personal data

We use the information we collect for the following business purposes:

 * Sending you product updates, newsletters, marketing communications, requested
   product or service information, facilitating your patient, study subject or
   consumer journey, and fulfilling services you have requested;
 * Understanding your interests and preferences;
 * Operating and improving our business;
 * Responding to your questions and requests;
 * Administering your account;
 * Conducting surveys, other research, and analysis;
 * Measuring and improving our Sites, products and services, and marketing
   efforts;
 * Optimizing user experience;
 * Displaying personalized content;
 * Targeting advertising to you based on your inferred interests and online
   activities;
 * Enabling you to post your resume, search job postings, and contact or be
   contacted by prospective BSC representatives or agents;
 * Notifying you of Policy updates;
 * Preventing, detecting and responding to potential security issues and other
   malicious activities;
 * Administering the employment process;
 * Complying with legal obligations, responding to legal, court or government
   regulator requests for information, or enforcing our legal rights; and
 * Protecting the security and integrity of the Sites or otherwise protecting
   BSC’s rights or property, your health and safety, or the health and safety of
   others.


DISCLOSING PERSONAL DATA

In addition to the disclosures described throughout this Policy, and subject to
applicable law, we and our third parties may disclose your personal data:

 * To affiliates and subsidiaries for purposes consistent with this Policy;
 * To unaffiliated third parties that are under contract to perform services for
   or on behalf of BSC (e.g., to maintain computer databases, perform marketing
   activities, provide security services, conduct analytics, or conduct
   surveys);
 * To research partners;
 * To potential transaction partners, service providers, advisors, and other
   third parties in connection with the consideration, negotiation, or
   completion of a corporate transaction in which we are acquired by or merged
   with another company or we sell or transfer all or a portion of our assets or
   business;
 * To other persons as permitted by applicable law or regulation;
 * To healthcare providers involved in your care;
 * To law enforcement personnel and governmental and administrative agencies,
   including to meet public health or national security requirements, or as part
   of a legal process; and
 * As we deem reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of
   us, you, or others.

We may share aggregate data with selected third parties. For example, BSC may
disclose aggregate Usage Data to third parties to understand how the Sites are
used or performing or for marketing or Site improvement purposes. Aggregate data
does not directly identify individuals. See also "Cookies" below.

The access, use and disclosure granted to our affiliates, subsidiaries, and
third parties is limited solely to the purposes for which such information was
provided. Furthermore, we require our affiliates and subsidiaries to uphold and
maintain BSC’s policies with respect to privacy and the treatment of your
personal data in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

On our Sites, we make information available to third parties so that they may
provide us with services.  Please read the following section on Cookies &
Similar Technologies for additional information.


COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

We use, and allow certain other companies to set, cookies and similar
technologies on the Sites. These technologies enable us and third parties to
remember your preferences, recognize you, and learn about your online activities
on the Sites and other digital properties, including those operated by third
parties.  These technologies may collect your IP address, device identifiers,
other identifiers, browser and system information, and information about your
online activities. We use these technologies to improve our Sites, deliver
personalized experiences, remember your preferences, and deliver targeted
advertising.  Some of the disclosures of information associated with these
technologies may be deemed "sales" as we may receive valuable consideration for
disclosing personal data. To opt out of sales or certain types of targeted
advertising, please see the State Privacy Information section below. Please also
see our Cookie Policy.

of your personal data from our blog or community forum, contact us

your personal data, in which case we will let you know if we are unable to do so
and why.


DATA RETENTION

We retain your information while your account is active or as needed to provide
you with products, services or relevant information. After such time, we may
continue to retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our
legal, regulatory and ethical obligations, resolve disputes, exercise our
rights, conduct internal research, maintain records, and enforce and comply with
our agreements.



SECURITY

BSC deploys physical, technical, and procedural safeguards designed to protect
the personal data we collect. However, we cannot guarantee the security of your
information, and the transmission of information via the internet, including by
email, cannot be guaranteed. Please email any Site or application security
questions to webmaster@bostonscientific.com.



LINKS TO OTHER SITES

This Policy applies only to BSC Sites and applications that link to this Policy.
Our Sites include links to both our affiliated sites and to non-BSC web sites,

non-affiliated sites (Other Sites). BSC is not responsible for the privacy
practices of Other Sites. You should directly contact these Other Sites to read
their privacy policies and for more information about their practices.
