These rights may include the right to be informed (e.g., through a privacy notice such as this one); the right to know whether your personal data is being processed and, if so, to access the personal data we hold about you; the right to request correction of personal data that is out of date, inaccurate or incomplete; the right to request the erasure of your personal data when you consider that they are not being used in accordance with the principles, duties and obligations provided for in the applicable legislation; as well as to object to the use of your personal data for specific purposes; the right to portability of your personal data to other service providers in a structured and commonly used format; the right to know the public and private entities with which your personal data has been shared; information on the possibility of not giving consent and on the consequences of such refusal; the right to revoke your consent; the right to review decisions based on the processing of personal data by automated means; the right not to be subject to automated decision-making; and the right to lodge a complaint with the applicable regulatory authority for non-compliance with data protection law. To exercise your rights, you can contact our Privacy Department at privacy@dentsplysirona.com. We will process requests to exercise these rights and resolve any questions you may have about the processing of your data. 

How can you revoke your consent to the use of your personal data?

You may revoke the consent you have given us for the processing of your personal data. However, it is important that you bear in mind that your withdrawal of consent will not apply retroactively to the processing that took place before the revocation was communicated, and that in all cases we will not be able to respond to your request or terminate the use immediately, as it is possible that due to some legal obligation, we may be required to continue processing your personal data.  You should also consider that for certain purposes, the revocation of your consent will mean that we will no longer be able to provide you with Services and/or the termination of your relationship with us.

To revoke your consent, or to learn about the procedure and requirements for revoking consent, you must send your request by email to privacy@dentsplysirona.com.

How can you limit the use or disclosure of your personal data?

In order for you to limit the use and disclosure of your personal data, we make available to you the following means:

• In some countries, you can register with an agency or public listing (such as the Public Registry to Avoid Advertising in Mexico) indicating that your personal data should not be used to receive advertising or promotions from companies of goods or services. For more information about this registry, you can consult the PROFECO website, or contact it directly.
• You can be added to our opt-out list for marketing communications here.

• You can request that we not sell or share your information here. (This option will not prevent us from sharing your information as needed with our contracted service providers.)

A.      United States - federal

In certain circumstances, we may collect or use your information through our Services while acting as a “business associate” or “covered entity” under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which may constitute Protected Health Information (PHI).

A business associate includes an entity that provides services to a HIPAA covered entity that involves the use or disclosure of PHI. If your health care professional or health insurance company qualifies as a HIPAA covered entity, and we provide services to them or on their behalf, we may qualify as their business associate.  PHI as defined under HIPAA, generally means information about you that identifies you and that relates to your physical or mental health or condition, the provision of health care to you, or payment for health care provided to you. To the extent we are acting as a business associate, we will only use and disclose your information as permitted by HIPAA, which may include, but is not limited to, fulfilling our service obligations, our internal management and administration, executing our legal responsibilities, de-identifying or aggregating data, or as otherwise required by law.

Where we act as a covered entity under HIPAA with respect to the data we collect from you, our Notice of Privacy Practices, and not this Notice, will apply. 

B.      U.S. State Law Privacy Disclosures

Sale of Personal Data

While we do not disclose personal data to third parties in exchange for monetary compensation, we may “sell” or “share” the following categories of personal information: identifiers, such as unique personal identifiers, online identifiers, IP address, or other similar identifiers; commercial information; location data; and Internet and network activity information. We may disclose these categories to third-party advertising networks, analytics providers, and social networks for purposes of marketing and advertising and to improve and measure our ad campaigns.

Consumer Rights

Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws, subject to certain limitations, which may include:

• Access. To confirm whether we are processing your personal data and to obtain a copy of your personal data in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily usable format.
• Deletion. To delete your personal data provided to or obtained by us.
• Correction. To correct inaccuracies in your personal data.
• Opt Out. To opt out of certain types of processing, including:
  • to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” for the purposes of cross contextual behavioral advertising of your personal data described above;
  • to opt out of targeted advertising by us; and
  • to opt out of any processing of personal data for automated decision making purposes .

You may submit a request to exercise your privacy rights under U.S. state privacy laws through our webform here or by emailing us at privacy@dentsplysirona.com.

To opt out of targeted advertising by us, you can adjust your cookies settings here (click the link in the footer) or on your device. In addition, our Site responds to global privacy control (GPC) signals, which means that if we detect that your browser is communicating a GPC signal, we will process that as a request to opt that particular browser and device out of sales and sharing (i.e., via cookies and tracking tools) on our Site. Note that if you come back to our Site from a different device or use a different browser on the same device, you will need to opt out (or set GPC for) that browser and device as well. More information about GPC is available at: https://globalprivacycontrol.org/. See Section 5 Cookies and Tracking and Section 6 Your Privacy Choices for more information.

We will respond to your request as required under applicable U.S. privacy law(s). When you submit a request, we will take steps to verify your identity and request by matching the information provided by you with the information we have in our records. In some cases, we may request additional information in order to verify your identity, or where necessary to process your request. If we are unable to verify your identity after a good faith attempt, we may deny the request. If your request is denied, we will explain the basis for the denial.

If we deny your request, in certain jurisdictions you may be able to appeal our decision according to the instructions we provide in our response.

To the extent permitted under applicable U.S. privacy laws, you may also designate someone as an authorized agent to submit requests and act on your behalf. Authorized agents may be required to provide proof of their authorization and we may also require the relevant consumer to directly verify the identity and authority of the authorized agent.

C.    California Notice at Collection and Privacy Rights

This Section of the Notice provides additional information for California residents and describes our information practices pursuant to applicable privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act and the regulations issued thereto, each as amended (“CCPA”).  To the extent you are a California resident, and we collect “personal information” subject to the CCPA, the following applies.

This Section does not address or apply to our handling of personal data that is exempt under the CCPA, such as publicly available data or de-identified or aggregated data. Additionally, this Notice does not apply to personal data we collect, receive, or otherwise maintain about you that is primarily governed by certain federal laws, such as HIPAA. The CCPA recognizes that health data subject to HIPAA is already protected under federal law, so the CCPA does not apply to such data.

Categories of Personal Data Collected and Disclosed.  
The table below identifies, generally, the categories of personal data we collect or process about California residents, as well as the categories of third parties to whom we may disclose this personal data for a business or commercial purpose.

Sales and Sharing of Personal Data. The CCPA defines “sale” as disclosing or making available personal data to a third-party in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration, and “sharing” includes disclosing or making available personal data to a third party for purposes of cross-contextual behavioral advertising. While we do not disclose personal data to third parties in exchange for monetary compensation, we may “sell” or “share” the following categories of personal data: identifiers; commercial information; location data; and Internet and network activity information. We may disclose these categories to third-party advertising networks, analytics providers, and social networks for purposes of marketing and advertising and to improve and measure our ad campaigns. We may also share limited information, such as name and email address, to data brokers for purposes of marketing and advertising and to improve and measure our ad campaigns.

We do not sell or share sensitive personal data, nor do we sell or share personal data about individuals we know are under age sixteen (16).

Sources of Personal Data. We generally collect personal data from the following categories of sources: directly or indirectly from you; affiliates and subsidiaries; business partners; vendors and service providers; government officials; healthcare professionals and dentists; third-party websites and services; data brokers; public databases; social media platforms and websites; internet service providers; operating systems and platforms; and marketing and data analytics providers.

Purposes of Collection, Use, and Disclosure.  See Section 3 Purposes for Collecting and Processing and Section 4 Disclosures of Personal information for a description of the business or commercial purposes for which we may collect, use, disclose, and process your personal data. 

Sensitive Personal Data. We do not collect, use, or disclose “sensitive personal data” beyond the purposes authorized by the CCPA. Accordingly, we only use and disclose sensitive personal data as reasonably necessary and proportionate: (i) to perform our Services requested by you; (ii) to help ensure security and integrity, including to prevent, detect, and investigate security incidents; (iii) to detect, prevent and respond to malicious, fraudulent, deceptive, or illegal conduct; (iv) to verify or maintain the quality and safety of our Services; (v) for compliance with our legal obligations; (vi) to our service providers who perform services on our behalf; and (vii) for purposes other than inferring characteristics about you.

Retention. We retain the personal data that we collect only as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above or as otherwise disclosed to you at the time of collection. For example, we will retain your account information for as long as you have an active account with us and additional information as necessary to comply with our tax, accounting, and recordkeeping obligations, to provide you with the Services you have requested, as well as an additional period of time as necessary to protect, defend, or establish our rights, defend against potential claims, and comply with our legal obligations. In some cases, rather than delete your personal data, we may deidentify or aggregate it and use it in compliance with the CCPA.

California Residents’ Rights. Under the CCPA, California residents have the following rights (subject to certain limitations):

• To opt out of sales and sharing. The right to opt-out of our sale and sharing of their personal data.
• To limit certain uses and disclosures of sensitive personal data. We only use and disclose sensitive personal data for purposes authorized under the CCPA; thus, this right is not available to California residents.
• Deletion. The right to the deletion of their personal data that we have collected, subject to certain exceptions. 
• To know/access. The right to know what personal data we have collected about them, including the categories of personal data, the categories of sources from which the personal data is collected, the business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing personal data, the categories of third parties to whom we disclose personal data, and the specific pieces of personal data we have collected about them.
• Correction. The right to correct inaccurate personal data that we maintain about them.
• Non-discrimination. The right not to be subject to discriminatory treatment for exercising their rights under the CCPA.  
  
   

Submitting CCPA Requests. California residents may exercise their CCPA privacy rights as set forth below:

• Right to Know, Delete, and Correct. California residents may submit CCPA requests to access/know, delete, and/or correct their personal data by using our webform (available here), or by calling 1-800-461-9330.
  When you submit a request, we will take steps to verify your identity and request by matching the information provided by you with the information we have in our records. In some cases, we may request additional information in order to verify your identity, or where necessary to process your request. If we are unable to verify your identity after a good faith attempt, we may deny the request and, if so, will explain the basis for denial.
  You may also designate someone as an authorized agent to submit requests and act on your behalf. Authorized agents will be required to provide proof of their authorization and we may also require the relevant consumer to directly verify the identity and the authority of the authorized agent.

• Right to Opt Out of Sales and Sharing.  To exercise your right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal data, you may do so via our cookie preference manager.  We will apply your opt out based on the personal data in our records that is linked or reasonably linkable to the information provided in your request. You may also click the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in the footer of our Site.
  In addition, if we detect that your browser or device is transmitting an opt out preference signal, such as the GPC signal, we will opt that browser or device out of cookies that result in a “sale” or “sharing” of your personal data.  If you come to our Site or use our Services from a different device or from a different browser on the same device, you will need to opt out, or use an opt out preference signal, for that browser and/or device as well.  More information about GPC is available at globalprivacycontrol.org.

Notice of Financial Incentive. With respect to some of our Services, we may make available certain programs or offerings, and other sweepstakes, contests, or similar promotional offerings (each a “Program”) which may include certain offers, rewards, discounts, services, perks, and promotions (“Rewards and Offers”). These Programs may be considered “financial incentives” under the CCPA. We provide these Rewards and Offers to participating users in order to understand and improve customer satisfaction and experiences, and to foster positive customer relationships.

As a basis for offering these Rewards and Offers, we have valued the personal data we obtain based on a reasonable and good faith calculation determined by considering expenses related to the Programs. In doing so, we value the personal data collected through the programs as the equivalent of the costs and expenses incurred to provide the program, including IT, administration, direct costs, third party costs, discounts, and Service development costs.

Your personal data is collected and retained, and may be disclosed to our business partners, vendors and service providers, and other third parties, as described in this Notice, including in order (i) to administer the Program, (ii) for research and analytics purposes, (iii) to improve our products and Services, (iv) to better reach you with more relevant, targeted offers, and (v) to send you Company-related news, updates and offers by email and postal mail (in accordance with your communications preferences).

You may withdraw from participating in a Program at any time by contacting us at privacy@dentsplysirona.com.  Please note that if you withdraw from a Program (or submit a CCPA request to delete your Program information), your participation in that Program will be terminated, which means that you will no longer be eligible to earn, use, access or redeem any Program Rewards and Offers, subject to the applicable Program terms.California Shine the Light Rights. 

California Shine the Light Rights. California’s “Shine the Light” law (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.83) permits California residents who provide us certain personal data to request and obtain from us, free of charge, information about the personal data (if any) we have shared with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. To make a California Shine the Light request, please call 1-800-461-9330 or email us at privacy@dentsplysirona.com. Requests may be made once per year.
