We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of this Privacy Policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our website or sending you a notification). We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy regularly to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you regarding your personal information. Please also review the Terms of Use linked to the Services that apply to your use of the specific OMRON Service.
Additionally, if you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under California law. Therefore, please review the section titled Your California Privacy Rights.
By using our Services, you consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to our Terms of Use. If you do not consent to this Privacy Policy, your choice is to not use our Site or Services.

opt out of this type of sharing by contacting us by phone at (866) 216-1333
or online by completing this Contact Us

- We may disclose personal information if we believe that disclosure is in accordance with, or required by,
any applicable law or legal process, including lawful requests by public authorities to meet national
security or law enforcement requirements. - We may share personal information if we believe that your actions are inconsistent with our user agreements

In addition to the above, if you use one of our mobile applications, we may share your personal information as
follows:
- With your consent and direction, we may share or disclose your information, including information collected
from your OMRON Devices, with third parties that you designate to receive your information. If you choose to
share your information with such third parties, this privacy policy will not apply to those third parties’
use of your personal information. Those third parties’ privacy policies and practices will govern such use;
therefore, please review such third parties’ privacy policy or similar notice regarding that third party’s
practices with respect to your personal information. - With your consent, we may share your personal information, including data collected from your OMRON Devices,
with other health-focused mobile applications installed on your mobile device, such as Apple Health, Samsung
Health or Google Fit, to help you track your health and wellness information. - If you choose to participate in a clinical trial study (“Study”), you will first
be required to sign an authorization form (“Informed Consent”) from the physicians
or other health care providers, clinical trial programs or other related third parties (“Study
Team”) for that specific Study. By connecting to our mobile application or using data
obtained from your OMRON Device to participate in the Study, you consent to the collection of your personal
information through the mobile application, as outlined in the applicable Informed Consent for that Study.
The personal information we collect through the mobile application may be shared with the Study Team, in

Study.
We also share aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you, including data
collected through our Services (including our mobile applications), with healthcare researchers, research
organizations, and other third parties.
LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES AND APPLICATIONS
The Site or our other Services, including our mobile applications, may contain various links to, as well as plug-ins
or widgets from, social media and other third-party websites or applications, which may provide additional
information, goods, services, and/or promotions. These third-party websites or applications are owned and operated
independently of OMRON and have their own separate privacy and data collection practices. We are not responsible for
the privacy practices of any third party; therefore, you should review their privacy policies and practices prior to
interacting with their websites or applications, using any of their tools, or sharing any of your personal
information with them.
ADVERTISING AND ANALYTICS
We allow others to provide analytics services and serve advertisements on our behalf across the web and in mobile
applications. These entities may use cookies, web beacons, device identifiers, and other technologies to collect
information about your use of our Services and other websites and applications, including your IP address, web
browser, mobile network information, pages viewed, time spent on pages or in mobile applications, links clicked, and
conversion information. This information may be used by OMRON and others to, among other things, analyze and track
data, determine the popularity of certain content, deliver advertising and content targeted to your interests on our
Services and other websites, and better understand your online activity.
We also work with third parties to serve ads to you as part of customized campaigns on third‑party platforms (such
as Facebook and Instagram). As part of these ad campaigns, we or the third-party platforms may convert information
about you, such as your email address and phone number, into a unique value that can be matched with a user account
on these platforms to allow us to learn about your interests and serve you advertising that is customized to your
interests. Note that the third-party platforms may offer you choices about whether you see these types of customized
ads.
Additionally, when you use our mobile application or its content, certain third parties may collect information
about you or your device. We use automated applications, such as Google BigQuery, Segment and Mixpanel, to evaluate
usage of our mobile application. We also may evaluate our mobile application using other analytic means. We use
these tools to help us improve our mobile application, services, performance, and user experiences. These third
parties may use tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use the mobile application. The
information they collect may be associated with your personal information and online activities over time and across
different apps and other online services.
The device you use to access and use our Services may allow you to opt out of having certain information collected,
including through mobile applications, and used for behavioral advertising purposes (e.g., “Limit Ad Tracking” on
iOS or “Opt Out of Interest-Based Ads” or “Opt Out of Ads Personalization” on Android).

California law permits residents of California to request certain details about how their information is shared with
third parties for direct marketing purposes. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request,
please contact us at (866) 216-1333 or online by completing this Contact Us form.
VISITORS TO THE SITE FROM OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES
OMRON is headquartered in the United States, and we have operations and service providers in the United States and
other countries. If you are visiting the Site from a location outside of the U.S., your connection will be through
and to servers located in the U.S. Therefore, we and our service providers may transfer your personal information
to, or store or access it in, jurisdictions that may not provide levels of data protection that are equivalent to
those of your home jurisdiction. We will take steps to ensure that your personal information receives an adequate
level of protection in the jurisdictions in which we process it. By using the Site or providing us with any
information, you consent to the transfer to, and processing, usage, sharing and storage of your information in the
United States and in other countries, as set forth in this privacy policy.
YOUR CHOICES AND UPDATING YOUR INFORMATION
Account Information
We will make a reasonable effort to ensure that your personal information used or disclosed by us is accurate and
complete. In most cases, however, we rely on you to ensure that your information is current, complete, and accurate.
Some of our Services may allow you to update your account information. If so, you may do so at any time by logging
into your account or by contacting us at this Contact
Us form. If you wish to delete your account, please contact us by phone at (866)
216-1333 or directly at this Contact Us
form, but note that we may retain certain information as required by law or for our legitimate business
purposes.
If you demonstrate the inaccuracy or incompleteness of the information we maintain about you, we will assist you in
updating the information as required. If appropriate, we will send the amended information to third parties to whom
the information has been disclosed. When a challenge regarding the accuracy of personal information is not resolved
to your satisfaction, we will annotate the personal information under our control with a note that the correction
was requested but not made.
Location Information
To the extent any of our mobile applications collect location information, you will be asked to consent to the app’s
collection of this information when you first pair your OMRON Device to such app and each time thereafter when you
sync with such apps. If you initially consent to our collection of such location information, you can withdraw
consent at any time by changing the preferences on the mobile device you use to access the mobile application (e.g.,
mobile phone, tablet, etc.). You may also stop our collection of this location information by following the standard
uninstall process to remove all of our mobile applications from your device. However, please note that some features
of our Services may no longer function properly if you stop our collection of this location information.
Cookies
Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually adjust your browser settings
to remove or reject browser cookies. Please note that removing or rejecting cookies could affect the availability
and functionality of our Services. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, see our Cookie Policy.
Communications Preferences
You may opt out of receiving text messages or promotional emails from OMRON by following the unsubscribe or opt out
instructions in those communications or completing the Email Preference Center Form
or by contacting us directly by calling (866) 216-1333 or at this Contact Us form.
If you opt out, we may still send you non-promotional emails, such as those about your account or our ongoing
business relations.
Mobile Push Notifications
With your consent, we may send push notifications to your mobile device. You can deactivate these messages at any
time by changing the notification settings on your mobile device.
SECURITY AND RETENTION
Security of My Personal Information
We have implemented reasonable precautions to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized
access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Please be aware that despite our efforts, no data security measures
can guarantee security completely. Although we do our best to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the
security of your personal information transmitted through our Services, including our mobile applications. Further,
we are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measure we provide. Please take steps
to protect against unauthorized access to your password, phone, mobile device, or computer by, among other things,
signing off after using a shared computer or device, choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily
guess, and keeping your log-in and password private. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or compromised
passwords or for any activity on your account via unauthorized password activity. If you have a security-related
concern, please contact us by phone at (866) 216-1333 or directly at this Contact Us form.
Data Retention
We keep your personal information only for so long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected
and for other legitimate business purposes, including to meet our legal, regulatory, or other compliance
obligations. OMRON will retain your information indefinitely if it believes in good faith that we have a legal
obligation to do so.
YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
The California Consumer Privacy Act or “CCPA” (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq.) and the Shine the Light

applies to information collected online and offline through or in connection with our Site, mobile applications, or

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
We do not sell your personal information for money but we and our business partners use tracking technologies to
help us to understand our customers and visitors to the Services, to enhance your online experience, and to
customize our offerings in ways that may be deemed a “sale” of personal information under the CCPA. This includes
working with third parties such as ad networks that collect personal information via tracking technologies to
personalize advertisements on and off our Services and to provide us with data collection, reporting, and ad
response measurement. To the extent we or our partners use such technologies on the Services, we offer a “Do Not
Sell My Personal Information” opt-out (
), as discussed in the Advertising and
Analytics section above. If you elect to opt out, then we will notify third parties of your request.
We do not knowingly sell personal information about consumers under the age of 16.
Your Rights under the CCPA
Subject to certain limitations, you have the right to (1) request to know more about the categories and specific
pieces of personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell, (2) request deletion of your personal
information, (3) opt out of any “sales” of your personal information that may be occurring, and (4) not be
discriminated against for exercising these rights.
The rights to know and delete are subject to our being able to reasonably verify your identity and authority to make
these requests. In order to verify your identity when you submit a request, we will ask you to provide two (2) or
three (3) pieces of personal information to confirm in our records. For example, if you purchased an OMRON product
or Service through our Site, you will be asked to provide at least your name and details of your recent interactions
with us.
How to Submit a Request Under the CCPA
If your Personal Information is subject to the CCPA, you may make these requests by calling (866) 216-1333 or completing this Consumer Request
Submission Form. You may also authorize someone to exercise these rights on your behalf. In order to do so,
we require signed permission. If we receive your request from an authorized agent, we may ask for evidence that you
have provided such agent with power of attorney or equivalent document that the agent otherwise has valid written
authority to submit requests to exercise rights on your behalf. We will not discriminate against you if you exercise
your rights under the CCPA.
If we receive your request from an authorized agent, we may ask for evidence that you have provided such agent with
a power of attorney or that the agent otherwise has valid written authority to submit requests to exercise rights on
your behalf. Once we have a copy of the valid signed authorization, your designated representative/authorized agent
will be able to exercise these rights with respect to the account(s) listed on such authorization for the life of
the account, unless there is a specified term or expiration date on the authorization form. Any information gathered
as part of the verification process will be used for verification purposes only. Responses to verifiable consumer
requests will be delivered through secure email or postal mail, depending on your election when you submit such
requests.
If you are an authorized agent seeking to make a request, please contact us by phone at (866)
216-1333 or online by completing this Consumer
Request Submission Form.
Financial Incentives
We provide price discounts, rewards, services, and other perks for members of our loyalty programs related to
certain OMRON Services (collectively “rewards programs”) and members of our mailing list.
Through these offerings, consumers like you provide us with some personal information (e.g., names, emails, phone
numbers, health and medication information, and information about your daily routine) when you opt in and
participate in our rewards programs. There is no obligation to opt in and you, as well as other consumers, may opt
out at any time. The details of each rewards program are contained in the applicable offering. Our rewards programs
can be found in the “Rewards” section of our mobile applications. We offer these rewards programs, among other
things, to enhance our relationship with you so you can enjoy more of our products/services at a lower price. We
invest heavily in our marketing and brands, in part, so we can provide rewards programs to our customers. Consumer
data is valuable to our business only when it is combined with a sufficient number of other consumer data and after
it is enhanced by our efforts described below. The value to our business of any individual consumer’s personal
information is dependent on a number of factors, including, for example, whether and to what extent you take
advantage of any offerings, whether and to what extent you opt out of any offerings, and whether we are able to
enhance the data through our efforts described below. Our ability to create any value from the rewards programs is
heavily based on our ability to leverage said intellectual properties. We do not calculate the value of consumer
data in our accounting statements. We make this good faith estimate for California residents. To the extent we
create overall value from our rewards programs to our business that could be directly or reasonably related to the
value of customer data, the method for calculating the same would include: (1) the expenses associated with the
offer, provision or imposition of any financial incentive or price or service differences, such as our intellectual
property, data analytics, and marketing operations, (2) the expenses related to the collection, retention and
enhancement of customer’s personal information, and (3) all other expenses reasonably related to the rewards
programs.
You can opt-in to, or opt-out of, our rewards programs at any time through the same means they are offered, or by
contacting us at this Contact Us form or by
phone at (866) 216-1333.
