Outset Medical Privacy Notice
Outset Medical (“Outset,” “We,” “Us,” “Our,” “the Company”) respects the privacy of your personal information. Please read this Notice carefully to understand your rights with respect to our handling of your personal information.
Introduction and Scope
This Notice describes our practices regarding the collection and handling of personal information that we collect through our websites (“Sites”), as well as from our offline interactions and our other business relationships with you. It only applies to situations where we decide the purposes and means of how we collect and process your personal information (the “Services”).
If you are a patient or caregiver of a patient who uses an Outset Medical Tablo product, please refer to additional information in the Tablo Hub User Agreement, and any information provided to by your health care provider regarding your personal health information collected by Outset Medical via the Tablo Portal. If you have additional questions, you can contact us using this form. Please note that Outset Medical does not have access to your complete medical records, and that if you have questions about your medical records or your medical care, you should contact your healthcare provider directly.
By using our Sites and otherwise interacting with us, you agree to the terms of our Terms of Use, including this Notice.
“Personal information” generally means any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked with you. In some places, “Personal Information” may include not just you, but the members of your household. The laws in some places may define personal information more broadly than described above. Finally, other places’ laws may exclude certain information about you, such as your business contact details, from the definition of personal information. In interpreting this Notice, we will apply the definition of personal information in the laws that apply to you.
This Notice is meant to apply generally, but there may be additional information available if you are providing us with your personal information because you are a job applicant, employee or independent contractor engaged with us. If you are an applicant for a job at Outset Medical, please refer to the Outset Medical Applicant Privacy Notice in our job application site for additional information specific for you. Alternatively, you can submit a request using this form for more information, or reach out to us using the methods described below. Current employees and contractors of Outset Medical should review the Associate Privacy Notice available on our intranet, or contact your People Operations representative for more information.

Use or Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information
We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information to create inferences or profiles about individuals or for any purposes other than providing our Services or with your consent.
Automated Processing
Automated decisions: (a) are made about individuals; (b) are based exclusively on the automated processing of personal information; and (c) produce legal effects that significantly impact the individuals about whom they are made. Although we may use automated tools to help facilitate our decision making, all consequential decisions about individuals are overseen by a member of our workforce. If we engage in automated decision making, we will inform you that your personal information is subject to automated processing, and, as required by law, provide you with an opportunity to engage with us, and object to, the outcome of the automated decision-making process.
Our Legal Bases
In some jurisdictions, we must inform you of the legal bases we may rely upon to collect and further process your personal information. Accordingly, the following legal bases apply to the personal information that we may collect from you:

With your consent (or with your explicit consent if required by law), which we will request from you.
Withdrawing your Consent
When we process your personal information based on your consent or your explicit consent, you may always withdraw your consent in whole or in part at any time. Once we have received your notice to withdraw your consent, we will no longer process the personal information for the purpose(s) to which you originally consented unless there are compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights and freedoms. For example, we may continue to process your personal information to comply with a legal obligation, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. If we process your personal information for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time, in which case we will stop processing your information for such purposes. Withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that we undertook prior to your action to withdraw consent. If you withdraw consent to future processing of your personal information, we may not be able to contact or interact with you as originally planned when you first provided your consent. You may use the form here to withdraw your consent, or contact us directly at the addresses provided in the Contact Us section of this Notice.

When we transfer your personal information to another jurisdiction, it is our practice to take steps designed to ensure that your personal information is treated in accordance with this Notice, and that transfers of your personal information to an organization or a country will be subject to adequate controls designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your personal information.
Security of Your Personal Information
The security of your personal information is important to us, and we maintain reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards that are designed to protect your personal information from accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Your Individual Rights
In some jurisdictions, you may be entitled to exercise certain rights relating to your personal information. Even where applicable law provides for these rights, they may be subject to certain conditions, limits, and exceptions. These rights may include the following:

Request that you not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you; or

We will ask for your name and the nature of your relationship with Outset in order to identify you in our systems. We will also ask for your state of residence to confirm which specific laws are applicable to your request. Finally, we will ask for a method of contacting you for additional information or to confirm that your request has been received and acted upon. If you fail to verify your identity, we may be unable to fulfill your request.

Your requests will typically be fulfilled at no charge to you. However, in certain cases, applicable law may entitle us to charge a fee. If we are entitled to charge a fee and intend to do so, we will notify you before charges are incurred, and follow procedures required by law.
In certain circumstances, applicable law may permit us to deny your request. If we deny your request, we will inform you of the reasons why we did so.

Do Not Track Signals
Global Privacy Control signals are opt-out signals communicated through the browser-based extension offered through the Global Privacy Control, a non-profit that has developed a technological tool that can be used universally to signal a user’s privacy preferences. Due to the technical limitations of the Global Privacy Control’s extension, requests made through their extension apply only to the device on which the request is made (e.g., a specific computer) and will only work with the browser used to activate the opt-out setting.
Our Sites recognize and will respond to Global Privacy Control signals.

Authorized Agents
You can designate an “authorized agent” to submit verifiable consumer requests on your behalf. The agent can be a natural person or a business entity.
If you would like to designate an agent to act on your behalf, you and the agent will need to comply with our verification process:
Requests to Know, Delete or Correct Personal Information: If the agent submits a request, the agent will need to provide us with your signed permission indicating the agent has been authorized to submit the request on your behalf. We will also require that you verify your identity directly with us or confirm with us that you provided the agent with permission to submit the request.
Requests to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: If the agent submits a request to opt out of the sale of your personal information or the sharing of your personal information for purposes of cross-context behavioral marketing, the agent will need to provide us with your signed permission indicating the agent has been authorized to submit the opt-out request on your behalf.
Please note that this subsection does not apply when an agent is authorized to act on your behalf pursuant to a valid power of attorney. Any such requests will be processed in accordance with California law pertaining to powers of attorney.
