If you are a resident of the State of California, please see our California Privacy Rights page which applies to Personal Information of California Consumers collected online or otherwise. (Capitalized terms are defined in the linked policy.) If you are a California Consumer and your connection with us is based on an employee or contractor relationship, a business transaction, or a health care service covered by HIPAA or the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA), you are not considered a California Consumer for purposes of the California Privacy Policy.
Revisions and Updates
Our commitment to be the leading provider of innovative insulin delivery systems means that our business will continue to evolve as we introduce new services and features. Because of this, from time to time, our policies will be reviewed and may be revised. Insulet Corporation reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time and notify you by posting an updated version of the Privacy Policy on the Website. It is your responsibility to periodically check the Website so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we process and use it, and under what circumstances we might disclose it. The amended Privacy Policy will apply between us whether or not we have given you specific notice of any change.
Your Personal Information is Important to Us
Insulet Corporation respects the importance of your privacy. You have a right to make your own choices about how your Personal Data is used. We know that when you provide Personal Data to us you are showing your trust, and we take that seriously. Unless you otherwise provide your consent, Insulet Corporation will only use your Personal Data as we explain in this Privacy Policy.
Collecting Information About You
We collect Personal Data from you when you voluntarily choose to provide such information such as when you enter your Personal Data on our Website or when you otherwise access the Services. If you contact us, we may also keep a record of that contact.
By voluntarily providing us with Personal Data, you are consenting to our use of it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you provide Personal Data through the use of the Services, you acknowledge and agree that such Personal Data may be transferred from your current location to the offices and servers of Insulet Corporation and the authorized third parties referred to herein for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Non-Identifiable Data: When you interact with Insulet Corporation through the use of the Services, we may receive and store certain personally non-identifiable information. We may store such information ourselves, or it may be included in databases owned and maintained by affiliates, agents or service providers of Insulet Corporation. We may use such information and pool it with other information to track, for example, the total number of visitors to our Websites, the number of visitors to each page of our Websites, the domain names of our visitors' Internet Service Providers (ISPs), technical mobile device data such as device model and name, device operating system and version. It is important to note that no Personal Data is available or used in this process.
Cookies: In operating the Services, we may use various technologies, including "cookies" and other tools. A cookie is a piece of information given to your web browser or device when you access the Services. Our cookies help provide additional functionality to the Services and help us analyze usage of the Services more accurately. For instance, the Website may set a cookie on your browser that keeps you from needing to remember and then enter a password more than once during a visit to the Website. In cases in which we use cookies, we will not use such cookies to collect Personal Data unless such collection has been disclosed to you in advance via this Privacy Policy. On most web browsers, you will find a "help" section on the toolbar. You can refer to this section for information on how to receive notification when you are receiving a new cookie and how to turn cookies off. We recommend that you leave cookies turned on because they allow you to take advantage of some of the Services’ features.
Google Analytics: We use cookies provided by Google Analytics, a third-party service provider, to assist us in better understanding visitors to the Services. These cookies collect data tied to a user’s IP address such as the length of time a user spends on a page, the pages a user visits, and the websites a user visits before and after visiting the Services. Based on this information, Google Analytics compiles aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions, which we use to offer better site experiences and tools in the future. Google Analytics does not collect any personal information. You can obtain more information about Google Analytics here: http://www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html?rd=1
Other Analytics and Links: The Services use other analytics cookies provided by third parties similar to the Google Analytics cookies and also include links from the site to plug-ins (such as social media services) and from sites or applications operated by third parties (“Third Party Sites”). We do not control any Third Party Sites and are not responsible for any information they may collect. The information collection practices of a Third Party Site are governed by its privacy policy. It is your choice to enter any Third Party Site. We recommend that you read its privacy policy if you choose to do so.

Children's Privacy Policy
This Children’s Privacy Policy, which is part of the Insulet Corporation Privacy Policy and uses terms that are defined in the Insulet Corporation Privacy Policy, sets forth additional provisions that apply to the collection, use and disclosure by Insulet Corporation of information provided by children under the age of 13 (“child” or “children”). This Children’s Privacy Policy is subject to the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, as may be amended from time-to-time ("COPPA") with respect to information that is personally identifiable to a child.
When children interact with us through the Services, we may collect certain information to help us to improve the Services we offer and to understand how children are using the Services. This information could include anonymous details about the device a child uses to access the Services (e.g., operating system), or anonymous information about how a child engages with the Services, for example, the age range selected by the child, the character or “avatar” selected by the child, how long the child spends on various parts of the Services, and the child’s feedback on the Services. This information is not identifiable to the child and not considered “personally identifiable information” under COPPA or “Personal Data” under the Insulet Corporation Privacy Policy. This information may be collected by Insulet Corporation or a service provider who provides the Services or who provides support to Insulet Corporation relating to the Services (e.g., hosting provider). This information may be used for evaluation, analytics or any other internal purpose. This information may be shared with third parties in furtherance of the purpose(s) or as required by law.
