Global Regulations

Permobil has an international presence, with offices and facilities in multiple jurisdictions. For more information regarding our compliance with your country’s data protection regulation, please contact us.

To offer our Products, we may need to transfer your Personal Information to recipients in countries other than the country in which the information was originally collected, such as when Permobil personnel and third parties acting on our behalf access, use and process your Personal Information in a country that is different from the country where you reside. Those countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information.

When we transfer your Personal Information to other countries, we protect that Personal Information as described in this Notice, in the manner required by applicable data transfer regulations, and as disclosed to you at the time the data is collected.

Permobil uses approved Model Contractual Clauses (Article 46.2 GDPR), (https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/model-contracts-transfer-personal-data-third-countries_en) for the international transfer of personal information collected in the European Economic Area and Switzerland.

Permobil acts as either a Controller or Processor of your Personal Information. We adhere to the guidelines set by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) throughout our company and as described in this Notice.

As a medical device manufacturer, Permobil may act as a health care provider when determining the proper type or size of the device that is needed for a particular patient. For more information about our HIPAA related practices, please contact us at: privacy@permobil.com.

Current privacy laws in the US are sectoral and state based. Because of this, describing our privacy practices for each state or sector would be cumbersome for you to read and we want to ensure that you can find the information you need to make decisions about your Personal Information. For this reason, we are describing our practices in only a few of the states where we do business. Regardless, we will treat all Personal Information according to all sectoral and state specific privacy laws and practices that apply to our business. For more information, please contact us.

Your California Privacy Rights

THIS SECTION OF OUR PRIVACY NOTICE IS FOR U.S. CALIFORNIA STATE RESIDENTS and applies solely to visitors, users, and others who reside in the state of California (“California Residents”). The terms in this section have the same meaning as defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) and other applicable California privacy laws.

CCPA permits California residents to certain privacy rights as they relate to the collection, security, quality, access, use and disclosure of your personal information.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under CCPA, including:

• Denying goods or services.
• Charging different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
• Providing a different level or quality of goods or services.
• Suggesting that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

We will respond to your request within forty-five (45) days of when we receive it. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Selling CCPA Defined Personal Information

We do not and will not sell your Personal Information to third parties. If we change that practice in the future, we will update our privacy policy and provide an opt-out link pursuant to the CCPA.

Tracking Signals

California law requires that we disclose how Permobil responds to web browser "Do Not Track" signals or other mechanisms that provide consumers the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personally identifiable information (as that term is defined in California law) about a consumer's online activities. Our Products do not currently support "Do Not Track" codes. That is, Permobil does not currently respond to or take any action regarding "Do Not Track" requests.
