Information Collection

Personal Information

"Personal Information" (also referred to as “Personal Data” in some jurisdictions) is any information that can be used to identify an individual or that we can link directly to an individual, such as name, address, email address, telephone number or credit card number, as applicable. Personal Information, in some jurisdictions, can even include information that indirectly identifies a person – such as a unique number assigned to a patient by a medical facility or healthcare professional, even absent other identifying information. Health and treatment information pertaining to an identified or identifiable individual is a form of Personal Information that in this policy we call Special Personal Information ("Special Personal Information"). We will process any Special Personal Information and Personal Information collected through the Websites in accordance with applicable law and as explained in this Policy. If you do not want to provide us this information, please do not utilize these features of the Websites.

Examples of instances where we collect Personal Information, includes if you:

• register for one of our services;
• sign up for newsletters;
• participate in discussion forums;
• ask us a question through online forms;

The information we collect is typically related to the product or service requested, such as name and contact details, the nature of the product or service requested, and related information so that we may fulfill requests and respond to them. For example, if you apply for a job with Zimmer Biomet through our website, the information collected will include your qualifications for the position, your education, applicable licenses or certifications, prior job history, references, and any other information that you choose to include about yourself.

Occasionally, Zimmer Biomet may invite users to participate in a survey or poll, for example, to provide feedback on website content, services, or products. Responses will be anonymous unless users choose to provide contact details so that we can provide a user with additional information regarding the survey.

Technical Information

When you visit the Websites, we may also collect certain technical information relating to users, which your web browser automatically sends whenever you visit a website on the Internet or which is collected when you use a mobile application. Our servers automatically record this information, which may include Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, browser language, device type, advertising IDs associated with your device (such as Apple’s Identifier for Advertising (IDFA) or Google’s Ad ID (AAID)), the date and time of your request, and Uniform Resource Locators, or URLs (i.e., website addresses) visited prior to visiting and after leaving our Websites.

Common uses for cookies include:

• Identifying visitors who have signed into a protected website to avoid users having to submit a user name and password for every page;

• Keeping track of which pages visitors request to make improvements to site content and navigation.
• Engaging in analytics about how the Websites are used.

Combination of Data

We may combine any of the information we collect, whether Personal Information or not, with Personal Information such as demographic information that we may obtain from third parties. These third parties include healthcare professionals, hospitals, medical scanning facilities or similar health care providers or one of their representatives who may use our Websites for patient-related products and services we make available to them in the course of their or our provision of treatment.

Using and Sharing the Information We Collect

Zimmer Biomet uses the information we collect to provide our products and services to users and to improve our products and services and the content on our Websites, for administrative purposes, system security, product development, research and to market to users. We may share the information we collect, including your Personal Information, among our affiliates, subsidiaries, and related companies as well as with third parties that assist us in providing the products or services that you requested or improve our marketing or administration. This includes companies that provide analytics to us about use of our Websites, so that we can evaluate use of our Websites and continue to improve our products, services and the content on our Websites.

To the extent that Personal Information and Special Personal Information is transferred out of the country where a user or other individual whose information is provided to us over the Websites lives, such as to Zimmer Biomet companies in other countries, including in the United States, there may be different standards that apply to how your data may be used and protected. Zimmer Biomet has put in place appropriate safeguards in accordance with applicable legal requirements to ensure that data is adequately safeguarded and protected irrespective of the country. This includes obtaining written assurances from any third party given access to your data so as to require them to adopt standards that ensure an equivalent level of protection for data as that adopted by Zimmer Biomet. Should you wish to know more about how Personal Information and Special Personal Information is protected please contact websupport@zimmerbiomet.com.

From time to time, we will provide aggregate statistics about our customers (including their customers), sales, online traffic patterns and related information to reputable third parties who help us improve our business and services, but these statistics do not include any personally identifying information. Anonymized or aggregated information may also be shared with third parties for other purposes, including the optimization of your web browsing experience and for reports on industry or company trends.

In the event that we sell, assign or transfer all or part of the Zimmer Biomet business or its assets, we may transfer information, including Personal Information, to the buyer. However, the buyer, assignee, or transferee will be required to safeguard Personal Information in a manner that is consistent with the requirements in this Policy. In such situations, your continued use of the Website signifies your agreement to be bound by the privacy policy and other applicable terms of the subsequent owner or operator.

Legal Bases for Using Your Personal Information

There are different legal bases that we rely on to use Personal Information, namely:

• Performance of a Contract - The use of Personal Information may be necessary to perform the contract that you have with us. For example, where you work for us either as an employee or a service provider or apply for a job with us your Personal Information will be necessary in connection with your contract of employment or services agreement.

We similarly process patient-related Personal Information from our customers to perform our contracts with them.
• Consent – We will rely on consent, which in some cases may be implied, to use (i) technical information such as cookie data and geolocation data as described in this Policy; and (ii) Personal Information for marketing purposes. Where we would like to use Special Personal Information we collect directly from an individual, we will only do so with explicit consent if required by law, unless we have an obligation under employment law. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at the addresses at the end of this Policy. We may obtain certain Personal Information and Special Personal Information about individuals through healthcare professional users (including hospitals, medical scanning facilities or similar health care providers or one of their representatives) of our products and services, in which case they are responsible for obtaining and handling any required consents or for having another legitimate basis for processing such information.
• Legitimate interests – we may use Personal Information for our legitimate interests to improve our products and services and the content on our Websites and for administrative purposes.

Links to Other Websites

Our Websites may contain links to other websites that are not owned or operated by Zimmer Biomet, such as social media websites like Facebook, Twitter or through other mechanisms such as email.

Safeguarding Information

Consistent with applicable laws and requirements, Zimmer Biomet has put in place physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to protect Personal Information from loss, misuse, alteration, theft, unauthorized access, or unauthorized disclosure, consistent with legal obligations and industry practices. We evaluate these safeguards on an ongoing basis to help minimize risks from new security threats as they become known. However, as is the case with all websites, we unfortunately are not able to guarantee security for data collected through our Websites.

If you are providing any Special Personal Information or sensitive personal information to us through our Websites, such as credit card details, please be sure that the computer you are using to do so has up-to-date anti-virus software in place, to minimize the risk of any access to the information before it reaches us.
