INFORMATION DISCLOSURE

When it is commercially reasonably for the performance of Integer’s contract with you or for Integer’s internal business purposes, Integer may share your personal information with certain third parties.  By submitting your personal information to Integer, you acknowledge that such third parties may receive and process your personal information.  Integer will require that such third parties treat your personal Information in accordance with this policy, contracts to which Integer is a party and any applicable Data Protection Law.  

Integer may also disclose your personal information to law enforcement or other government agency to comply with any legal obligation (such as anti-money laundering or anti-terrorist financing obligations), assist such government agency in investigating any illegal conduct, or enforce or exercise Integer’s rights and remedies under any applicable law or contractual obligation, or protect any right or remedy of a third party.

In addition, if Integer sells or otherwise transfers all, or substantially all, of its assets to a third party, whether in one transaction or a series of transactions, it may disclose your personal information to a purchaser or other third party.  Integer will not be responsible for a third party’s handling of your personal information after a disclosure thereof pursuant to this paragraph.

In the unlikely event that Integer collects any Sensitive Information (as defined in the California Laws or any Data Protection Law enacted by the European Union or the United Kingdom), your explicit consent (i.e. among other things, you must “opt-in”) will be obtained before such Sensitive Information is disclosed to a third party or used for a purpose other than the purpose for which such Sensitive Information was initially collected.

CERTAIN INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

If you are in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), any personal information that Integer collects from you may be transferred to a third party (including, but not limited to, clients, sub-contractors, suppliers and vendors) outside the EEA. Integer will process any such personal information to comply with each Data Protection Law. 

By submitting your personal data, you are acknowledging this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the Data Protection Law. Integer will only transfer such personal information to third parties in locations that (a) have been confirmed by the European Commission to provide adequate protection to personal information or (b) have agreed to provide all protections to your personal information as set forth in any Data Protection Law.

INFORMATION SECURITY

Integer uses commercially reasonable measures to protect personal information from loss, theft or unauthorized access, disclosure, modification or use.  Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, Integer will only retain your personal information for as long as Integer reasonably requires it for the purposes for which it is provided to Integer or Integer has a legal basis or legitimate business purpose to retain such personal information.  Since the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure and, even though Integer will take commercially reasonable measures to protect your personal information, it cannot guaranty the security of your personal information transmitted via the internet.  You must, therefore, assume the risk that your personal information could be accessed without authorization.

YOUR RIGHTS

Upon your making a request of Integer, and solely to the extent required by any Data Protection Law, Integer will (1) grant you access to your personal information, (2) describe how your personal information is used by Integer, (3) update your personal information so that it is accurate and up-to-date, (4) terminate processing of your personal information, (4) transfer your personal information to a third party, (5) delete any or all of your personal information, or (5) take any other action with respect to your personal information.  You can make a request pursuant to this paragraph by notifying Integer as set forth in this policy.

Summary of Consumers' Rights

The following is a summary of a Consumer’s rights under the CCPA, including any amendments thereto:

Right to Know Specific Information
You have the right to request that Integer disclose certain information to you regarding your California Information collected by Integer in the preceding 12 month period or, if requested and the data was collected on or after January 1, 2022, beyond the 12 month period, as long as doing so does not prove impossible or involve disproportionate effort on Integer. Specifically, you have the right to request the following:

• The categories of California Information collected about you;
• The categories of sources from which the California Information was collected;
• Integer’s business or commercial purpose for collecting your California Information or, if applicable, disclosing, selling or Sharing your California Information;

You may request that Integer delete any of your California Information retained by it, subject to certain exceptions. Upon receiving and confirming your California Request (as defined below), Integer will delete (and direct its Contractors and Service Providers to delete) such California Information from Integer’s (or such Contractors’ or Service Providers’) records, except that Integer may deny your request if retaining the California Information is necessary for Integer or one of its Contractors or Service Providers to:

• Complete the transaction for which Integer collected the California Information, provide requested products and services, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of Integer’s ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform a contract between Integer and you;
• Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activity;
• Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair intended functionality;

• Make other internal and lawful uses of California Information that are compatible with the context in which the California Information was provided.

Right to Correct Information 
You may request that Integer correct your California Information if it is inaccurate, taking into account the nature of the California Information and the purposes of the processing of the California Information. Upon receiving your California Request, Integer will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct your California Information.

Right to Non-Discrimination
Integer will not discriminate against a Consumer for exercising any rights under the CCPA, as amended. In particular, if a Consumer exercises any such rights, Integer will not:

• Deny goods or services to a Consumer;
• Charge a Consumer different prices or rates for products or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties;
• Provide a Consumer a different level or quality of products or services; or 
• Suggest that a Consumer may receive a different price or rate for products or services, or a different level or quality of products or services.

However, Integer may offer a Consumer certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any such financial incentives offered by Integer will reasonably relate to the value of California Information, and contain written terms that describe the material aspects of such financial incentives. A Consumer’s prior opt-in consent, which may be revoked at any time, is required before the Consumer obtains such financial incentives.

Verifiable Consumer Requests
To exercise your rights described in these disclosures and the Policy, you must submit a verifiable consumer request (a “California Request”) to Integer as set forth in the Contact Information Section of the Policy. Only you, or an agent registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a California Request relating to your California Information. You may also make a California Request on behalf of your minor child.

The California Request must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows Integer to reasonably determine you are the person about whom Integer collected California Information or an authorized representative.
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows Integer to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

Integer cannot respond to a request or provide California Information if it cannot verify your identity or the individual’s authority to make the request on your behalf unless it can confirm that the California Information relates to you. Integer will only use California Information provided in a California Request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Integer’s Response 
Integer endeavors to respond to a California Request within 45 days of its receipt. If Integer requires more time (up to an additional 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. Integer will deliver its written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures provided by Integer will only cover the 12-month period preceding receipt of the verifiable consumer request. However, if the California Information was collected on or after January 1, 2022, and your request is for longer than the 12-month preceding period, Integer will disclose the data requested, as long as doing so does not prove impossible or involve disproportionate effort to Integer. The response provided by Integer will, if applicable, also explain the reasons Integer cannot comply with a request. For data portability requests, Integer will select a format to provide your California Information that is readily useable and should allow you to electronically transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

Integer does not charge a fee to process or respond to your California Request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If Integer determines that your request warrants a fee, Integer will tell you why a fee is warranted and provide you with a cost estimate before completing the request. 

Revisions to These Disclosures

Integer may revise these disclosures from time to time by posting the revisions on the Site. Any such revision will take effect immediately upon such posting, but will only relate to California Information collected after such revision is posted. It is a Consumer’s responsibility to periodically check the Site for revisions to these disclosures.
