Last updated: 2020.10.19

Samsung Electronics and Samsung Medison (together, “Samsung”, “we”, “us” and “our”) know how important privacy is to our customers and our employees and partners, and we strive to be clear about how we collect, use, disclose, transfer and store your information.

Background
This Privacy Policy provides an overview of how we use your personal information collected through www.samsunghealthcare.com (the “Website”) with commercial customers (the "Business Services").

The service providers that administer these analytics services help us to analyze your use of the Business Services and improve the Business Services. The information we obtain may be disclosed to or collected directly by these providers and other relevant third parties who use the information, for example, to evaluate use of the Business Services, help administer the Business Services and diagnose technical issues.

  • otherwise with your separate consent where required by applicable law or as described to at the time your information is collected.
On what basis do we use your personal information?

We use your personal information for the following reasons:

  • To perform a contract with you: So that we can keep our promises to you, such as providing you with the Business Services.
  • For legitimate business purposes: We may use your personal information to promote our business interests (for example, to manage our relationship with you), to make our communications with you more relevant, and to make your experience of the Business Services more enjoyable, effective and efficient.
  • To comply with our legal obligations and other demands for information: Samsung’s legal obligations affect the way in which we run our business and help to make the Business Services as safe as we can. We may use your personal information to comply with applicable laws, regulations and guidance.

See What are your rights section below for information about your rights when we process your information on the basis of your consent.
To whom do we disclose your information?
We will disclose your information internally within Samsung’s business, but only to those who need it to further provide the Business Services or to help with your requests.

We may also disclose your information to the following entities:

  • Service Providers: Carefully selected companies that provide services for or on behalf of us. These providers are also committed to protecting your information.

  • Other parties with your consent or at your direction: In addition to the disclosures described in this Privacy Policy, we may share information about you with third parties when you separately consent to or request to such disclosures.
How do we keep your information secure?
We take data protection seriously. We have put in place physical and technical safeguards to keep the information we collect secure. Though we take reasonable steps to protect your information, the transmission of information to us may not be completely secure and any transmission is at your own risk.
Where do we send your information?
Your use or participation in the Business Services may involve transfer, storage and processing of your information outside of your country of residence, consistent with this Privacy Policy. Such country includes, without limitation, the Republic of Korea. Please note that the data protection and other laws of countries to which your information may be transferred might not be as comprehensive as those in your country. We will take appropriate measures, in compliance with applicable law, to ensure that your personal information remains protected. Such measures include the use of EU Standard Contractual Clauses to safeguard the transfer of data outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”). For more information on the safeguards we take to ensure the lawful transfer of your data to countries outside of the EEA, or to obtain a copy of the contractual agreements in place, please contact us by the methods outlined in the Contact Us section of this Privacy Policy.
What are your rights?
Your personal information belongs to you. You can ask us to provide details about what we’ve collected, and you can ask us to delete it or correct any inaccuracies. You can also ask us to restrict or limit processing, sharing, or transfer of your personal information, as well as to provide to you your personal information that we’ve collected so you can use it for your own purposes. To exercise your rights, please contact us by the methods outlined in the Contact Us section of this Privacy Policy.
However, requesting the deletion of your personal information may also result in a loss of access to the Business Services.
If you request deletion of personal information, you acknowledge that you may not be able to access or use the Business Services and that residual personal information may continue to reside in Samsung's records and archives for some time in compliance with applicable law, but Samsung will not use that information for commercial purposes. You understand that, despite your request for deletion, Samsung reserves the right to keep your personal information, or a relevant part of it, in line with our data retention policy and applicable laws, if Samsung has suspended, limited, or terminated your access to the website for violating the Samsung Terms of Use or any other applicable Samsung policy or applicable law, when necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Samsung, or any of our respective affiliates, business partners, employees or customers.
How long do we keep your information?
We will keep your personal information for as long as we need to for the purposes for which it was collected (in accordance with this Privacy Policy), and in order to comply with our legal and regulatory requirements. This may mean that some information is held for longer than other information.

We take appropriate steps to ensure that we process and retain information about you based on the following logic:

  1. 1. At least the duration for which the information is used to provide you with a service
  2. 2. As required under law, a contract, or with regard to our statutory obligations
  3. 3. Only for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, is processed, or longer if required under any contract, by applicable law, or for statistical purposes, subject to appropriate safeguards.
What third-party services do we use?
Our Business Services may link to third-party websites and services that are outside our control. We are not responsible for the security or privacy of any information collected by websites or other services. You should exercise caution, and review the privacy statements applicable to the third-party websites and services you use.
