Permobil offers power wheelchairs with sensors that will collect data about your location, wheelchair mileage, battery status, maintenance information, diagnostic data, and service data about the Products that you use and receive from Permobil upon activation. These sensors are inactive at the time you receive your power wheelchair and can be activated at your request. Your dealer can provide you with information on how to activate the device sensor.
Information about your use of our Products is occasionally collected on behalf of your clinic or health services provider to aid you in your specialized treatment. Depending on our Product, you can control what sensor data the device and the apps can use by contacting your dealer or sending an email to privacy@permobil.com.
