ABBOTT PRIVACY NOTICE
FOR PROFESSIONAL USE OF LIBREVIEW DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Effective Date: MARCH 2024

Abbott Diabetes Care, Inc. ("Abbott" or "us", "our", "we") recognizes the importance of data protection and privacy and is committed to protecting personal information, including health-related information. This Privacy Notice describes how Professional Users' personal information and the personal information provided to Abbott by a Professional User about your practice, including patient personal and health-related information, is collected and used by Abbott and how it is uploaded, transmitted and stored within the LibreView Data Management System. References in this Privacy Notice to "affiliate companies" or "third parties" are those of Abbott's affiliate companies and third parties listed in the section titled +Disclosure of Professional Users' Personal Information by Us.

Please read this Privacy Notice carefully before creating a LibreView Data Management System Professional User account as it applies to the processing, transfer and storage of personal information by Abbott, certain affiliated companies and our processors (as described below) input or uploaded by Professional Users to the LibreView Data Management System. Certain of our affiliated companies and our processors may have access to this personal information, including health-related information of your patients, if, for example, such access is required to resolve a customer service issue Professional Users may have with the LibreView Data Management System. This Notice also sets out the information that you, as a Professional User, should provide to your patients (as set out in the +Information Professional Users Must Provide To Patients About How Personal Information, Including Health-Related Information, About Them Is Uploaded By A Professional User And Processed In The LibreView Data Management System section).

This Privacy Notice only applies to professional visitors to LibreView and to professionals that create a LibreView Data Management System account as a Professional User. This Privacy Notice does not apply to personal information collected through the use of other websites controlled by other Abbott affiliates or subsidiaries or via other methods, such as other Abbott websites, other Abbott customer call centers, or use of the FreeStyle Desktop Software, and other privacy policies may apply to the personal information processed or collected through these methods.

BY ACCEPTING OR AGREEING TO THIS PRIVACY NOTICE AND CREATING A LIBREVIEW DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ACCOUNT AS A PROFESSIONAL USER, YOU EXPLICITLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOUR USE OF THE LIBREVIEW DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IS SUBJECT TO THIS PRIVACY NOTICE AND TO THE PROCESSING AND TRANSFER OF PERSONAL INFORMATION INCLUDING THE HEALTH-RELATED INFORMATION OF YOUR PATIENTS, AS DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVACY NOTICE AND THAT YOU AS A PROFESSIONAL USER HAVE OBTAINED THE APPROPRIATE AUTHORIZATIONS, CONSENTS OR PERMISSIONS FOR YOU, YOUR PRACTICE AND YOUR PATIENTS, AS APPLICABLE, TO ACCEPT THIS PRIVACY NOTICE.

AS A PROFESSIONAL USER, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE INFORMED YOUR PRACTICE AND YOUR PATIENTS THAT THEIR CONSENT IS AT THEIR FREE WILL AND YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU AND THEY ARE NOT UNDER ANY LEGAL OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE PERSONAL INFORMATION INCLUDING HEALTH-RELATED INFORMATION TO ABBOTT.

Abbott Diabetes Care Inc. of 1420 Harbor Bay Parkway, Alameda, CA 94502, USA is the developer of the FreeStyle family of products that include the LibreView website ("LibreView"), mobile applications which include the “FreeStyle App” and the LibreLinkUp app (“LibreLinkUp”) as well as FreeStyle branded sensors and readers. When the FreeStyle family of products are used together, they may be referred to as the “LibreView Data Management System”.

We have appointed representatives in the EU, Switzerland and UK. A full list of our EU, Swiss and UK representatives is available at +EU, Swiss and UK Representatives. References in this Privacy Notice to "affiliate companies" or "third parties" are those of Abbott's affiliate companies and third parties listed in the section titled +Disclosure of Professional Users' Personal Information by Us.

Abbott is a controller of the personal information you as a Professional User provide when creating your LibreView Data Management System account.

YOU AS A PROFESSIONAL USER ARE A CONTROLLER OF YOUR PATIENTS' PERSONAL INFORMATION INCLUDING HEALTH-RELATED INFORMATION, WHERE YOU CREATE A PATIENT PROFILE IN THE LIBREVIEW DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND ENTER SUCH INFORMATION INTO THAT PROFILE. PROFESSIONAL USERS SHOULD NOTIFY SUCH PATIENTS ABOUT THE PROCESSING OF THE PATIENTS' PERSONAL INFORMATION, INCLUDING HEALTH-RELATED INFORMATION, VIA THE LIBREVIEW DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, INCLUDING ACCESS BY ABBOTT AS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE AND SUPPORT THE LIBREVIEW DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. Abbott will process personal information of Professional User's patients, including health-related information, as set out in this Privacy Notice (see +Abbott's Use of Your Patients' Information and +Medical Devices and other Legal Requirements (Patients). THE NOTICE PROFESSIONAL USERS SHOULD PROVIDE TO THEIR PATIENTS ABOUT ABBOTT'S PROCESSING OF SUCH PATIENTS' PERSONAL INFORMATION INCLUDING HEALTH-RELATED INFORMATION, is described in +Information Professional Users Must Provide To Patients About How Personal Information, Including Health-Related Information, About Them Is Uploaded By A Professional User And Processed In The LibreView Data Management System.

The term "controller" is used here in a manner consistent with the EU General Data Protection Regulation or equivalent terms in other applicable data protection and privacy laws.

"Professional User" includes only those medical professionals (and their duly authorized representatives and agents) who either have registered a practice or have registered as a professional user of the LibreView Data Management System.

The LibreView Data Management System is a cloud-based diabetes information management system that may be used by Abbott, Professional Users, and patients to aid in the review, analysis and evaluation of patients' historical glucose data, glucose test results, ketone test results, data from connected devices and user-entered information including insulin, food, exercise, and notes to support an effective diabetes health management program. The LibreView Data Management System allows patients to create their own LibreView Data Management System account either via the FreeStyle App or via LibreView. Depending on your selection of country, you may have limited ability to connect to patients users of the LibreView Data Management System who choose a different country of residence. When a patient creates a LibreView Data Management System account, they are able to upload data from the sensor via their FreeStyle App or their reader and share that information with Professional Users. This allows Professional Users to manage the care of patients who have a LibreView Data Management System account and share patient reports with other professional users in their practice. In countries where applicable, if a patient uses the FreeStyle App without creating a LibreView Data Management System account, or when a patient signs out of their LibreView Data Management System account, their personal information and glucose values will only be stored locally on their smartphone or device, and they will not be able to share glucose values and related data with Professional Users through the LibreView Data Management System. When a patient creates a LibreView Data Management System account, Abbott is also a controller of the patients' personal information (separate from and independent of their Professional User) and Abbott provides such patients with an Individual User Privacy Notice.

Alternatively, the LibreView Data Management System allows Professional Users to create patient profiles and connect the patient's reader and upload the patient's information to their own Professional User LibreView Data Management System account. Professional Users are also able to use the LibreView Data Management System to send patient reports directly to their electronic medical record systems in countries where this is permitted, such as in the United States, or where the patient opts-in or otherwise consents to this data sharing if they are in a country that requires them to opt-in or consent. If a patient has a LibreView Data Management System Account, Abbott will be responsible for obtaining the patient's opt-in or consent, if required, but if the patient does not have a LibreView Data Management System account, the Professional User will be responsible for obtaining the patient's opt-in or consent, if required.

The LibreView Data Management System also allows Abbott to provide improved guidance for patients utilizing Abbott's devices and mobile apps. It also enables Abbott to improve quality, security and effectiveness of medical devices and systems and allows Abbott to develop innovative and effective treatments for, and management of, diabetes in the interest of public health.

AS A PROFESSIONAL USER YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR (I) ANY PATIENT INFORMATION YOU ENTER INTO THE LIBREVIEW DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, (II) THE PERSONAL INFORMATION OF OTHER PROFESSIONALS YOU INVITE TO JOIN A PRACTICE ACCOUNT, AND (III) YOUR USE OF THE PERSONAL INFORMATION OF ANY PATIENT WITH AN INDIVIDUAL LIBREVIEW DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ACCOUNT WHO SHARES DATA WITH YOU OR YOUR PRACTICE. AS A PROFESSIONAL USER YOU ARE THEREFORE RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLYING WITH APPLICABLE DATA PROTECTION AND PRIVACY LAWS AND FOR OBTAINING, WHERE REQUIRED, ANY CONSENTS (INCLUDING EXPLICIT CONSENT) NEEDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

This Privacy Notice applies to the personal information collected as part of a Professional User's use of their LibreView Data Management System Professional User account, including:

  • personal information you submit when creating a LibreView Data Management System account as a Professional User (either independently or in response to an invitation from a health care professional in your practice), which may include a Professional User's name, phone number (where applicable), email address, and the name of their healthcare organization and address, used for the purpose of providing Professional Users with a Professional User account;
  • the email addresses of other health care professionals in your practice, where you invite them to join the LibreView Data Management System, used for the purpose of allowing other health care professionals in the Professional User's practice to sign up for their own LibreView Data Management System account;
  • personal information, including health-related information, of your patients that Professional Users enter into the LibreView Data Management System when creating a patient profile;
  • personal information, including health-related information, that Professional Users upload from a patient's reader to the LibreView Data Management System so that Professional Users can be provided with information about how patients are managing their diabetes. By uploading patient information, a Professional User is able to access and display data from your patients' readers (such as how often they scan or use their sensor, their use of readers, glucose targets, glucose values, logged insulin, logged food, logged exercise and other logged notes, information about sensor: sensor generation, sensor started and ended information, Bluetooth connection and disconnection data, information about whether glucose information has been viewed by a patient (where applicable);
  • personal information, including demographic and health-related information, of your patients that you as a Professional User share with other healthcare professionals within your practice, so that both the Professional User and the other healthcare professional can be provided with information about how patients are managing their diabetes;
  • personal information Professional Users provide to us when you report a complaint or adverse event, so that we can fulfill our legal requirements as a medical device manufacturer;
  • personal information Professional Users provide to us when you request customer or technical support related to your LibreView Data Management System account so that we can provide you with support; and
  • information about your use of LibreView through cookies and other technologies (please see the section titled +Use of Cookies and Similar Technologies on LibreView for more information): your domain name; your browser type and operating system; your IP address; and other troubleshooting data.

Where you as a Professional User create a practice account on the LibreView Data Management System you will be required to provide us with practice information, which includes the practice name, address, phone number and whether you wish to transfer your existing patients into the practice account. When you as a Professional User create a practice account, you become the administrator for that practice account. An automatic practice ID is assigned to each practice account and providing that ID to your patients will allow them to connect with your practice account.

To invite a patient to create a LibreView Data Management System account, you as a Professional User may be required to enter the patient's name, phone number, date of birth, country, and email address for adult users and, in the case of pediatric use, the email address of the parent/guardian, the child's name, date of birth and country. If the patient invited by the Professional User has already registered for a LibreView Data Management System account, when the Professional User connects with that patient, the Professional User will see patient account information and previous uploads of data from their compatible sensors, readers and related statistics. In addition to the categories of information listed here, other categories of personal information may be collected from patients on occasion and in relation to certain programs. If and when that collection of information is necessary, we will explain how that information is collected, used, and shared. If there is any conflict between that explanation and this Privacy Notice, the explanation supersedes this Privacy Notice.

You as a Professional User may also create patient profiles where you can upload information from a patient's reader to the LibreView Data Management System, without inviting the patient to create a LibreView Data Management System account. Professional Users may delete patient profiles and any information you enter into such profiles at any time. To create a patient profile, you may be asked to enter the following information: patient's name, phone number, date of birth and email (optional).

Abbott will use Professional Users' personal information collected via the LibreView Data Management System to provide you with a LibreView Data Management System Professional User account and to:

  • give you access to information about your patients in an easy to use and effective manner;
  • help us address any technical issues related to the LibreView Data Management System or contact you regarding important product or performance issues;
  • respond to your questions or requests for support, troubleshooting or any performance issues as set out in greater detail in the privacy policy relevant to the Professional Users' country of residence which can be accessed at https://www.diabetescare.abbott/worldwide-locations.html;
  • better understand how you interact with and use the LibreView Data Management System, including its functionality and features;
  • contact you to obtain further information about you and your use of the LibreView Data Management System; and
  • provide Professional Users with marketing information where you have opted-in to receive such communications.

(where required).

Abbott may use personal information relating to Professional Users to comply with various legal requirements. For example, as a medical device manufacturer, Abbott has certain legal obligations to help ensure the ongoing safety of its devices. This may require Abbott to share personal information with regulatory authorities (e.g., where a Professional User reports an adverse incident relating to an Abbott device). Information Abbott may be required to share is not used to identify Professional Users individually, except where there is a legal obligation to include this information, such as when Professional Users report a complaint or adverse incident. Our parent company, Abbott Laboratories, assists us as a processor to ensure such information does not identify a Professional User by de-identifying, pseudonymizing, aggregating and/or anonymizing personal information.

The legal requirements for which Abbott may use this information include:

  • ensuring the ongoing safety of a device and any future development;
  • monitoring and improving the quality, security and effectiveness of medical devices and systems;
  • validating upgrades, and keeping the LibreView Data Management System safe and secure;
  • identifying options to improve the usability, performance and safety of the LibreView Data Management System.
  • testing and evaluating the LibreView Data Management System to improve product features and functionality; and
  • where required by law, responding to requests from any competent law enforcement body, regulatory or government agency, court or other third party where we believe the disclosure is necessary or appropriate to comply with a regulatory requirement, judicial proceeding, court order, government request or legal process served on us, or to protect the safety, rights, or property of our customers, the public, Abbott or others, and to exercise, establish or defend Abbott's legal rights or where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person, violations of this Privacy Notice, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.

We use the terms 'de-identify' and 'pseudonymize' interchangeably. The US Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and its implementing regulations (HIPAA) describe de-identified information as information where 'there is no reasonable basis to believe that the information can be used to identify an individual'. The EU General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679) (GDPR) defines 'pseudonymization' as 'the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information'. Anonymized data is information that does not relate to a person and from which a person cannot be identified, and this kind of data is not subject to data protection and privacy laws.

For more information about HIPAA, please see our Abbott Diabetes Care Notice of Privacy Practices and the +USA section below. For more information about GDPR, please see +European Economic Area, UK and Switzerland below.

Abbott will retain personal information associated with a Professional User account for the following periods for these purposes:

  • Creation/Use of a LibreView Data Management System account: for a period of 6 months following your last use of your account, and, where you contact us for customer support, for a period of at least 2 years but no longer than 10 years from the last date the device was made available for sale to the public by Abbott, or longer if required by law;
  • Diagnostic/troubleshooting data (U.S. only): pursuant to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration requirements related to diagnostic and troubleshooting data, contact information is kept for as long as a customer support ticket remains live. Once we have resolved or closed your customer support ticket, we retain your contact information and details of the fault for the longer of 2 years after you reported the fault or 10 years after the product is no longer manufactured. For further information visit https://freestyleserver.com/Payloads/cig/lrd/pn/DOC41501-020_rev-B-Attachment-2.html;
  • Marketing: we will provide you as a Professional User with marketing-related information unless and until you opt-out; or for a period that complies with applicable legal requirements; and
  • Medical Devices and Other Legal Requirements: as legally required for a maximum period of ten (10) years from the last date the device was made available for sale to the public by Abbott or other legally required retention period.

Unless otherwise stated above, Abbott will continue to store personal information associated with a Professional Users' LibreView Data Management System account while you have an active account. A LibreView Data Management System Professional User account will be considered to be inactive once there has been no account activity for six (6) months. If a LibreView Data Management System Professional User account is considered inactive, all personal information associated with that account, including any patient profiles created, may be permanently and irrevocably deleted, subject to compliance with applicable law. LibreView should not be used as a patient health record and Professional Users must download or print out information you may require from the LibreView Data Management System. The deletion of a LibreView Data Management System Professional User account will not have an impact on any individual user account created by any of your patients independently. We will notify Professional Users in advance by sending an email to the email address associated with the LibreView Data Management System account so that you have an opportunity to ensure your account stays current and available for your use. The section titled +Deleting A LibreView Data Management System Professional User Account explains how you as a Professional User can delete your account and what happens to your personal information once your account has been deleted.

We share personal information including health-related information with the following and in each case only the minimum amount of personal information necessary for the purposes for which the third party is engaged:

Abbott Laboratories: We share personal information with our parent company to assist us as a processor with tasks such as de-identifying, pseudonymizing, aggregating and/or anonymizing information.

Third-party suppliers: We share personal information with third-party suppliers as needed to provide, maintain, host, and support the LibreView Data Management System. Abbott uses Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and other cloud providers to host LibreView Data Management System accounts in the cloud. Where we provide your personal information to third-party suppliers to assist us with the provision of your LibreView Data Management System account, they are required to keep your personal information confidential and secure and to use your personal information to the minimum extent necessary. Where possible, Abbott uses third party service providers to report system errors so that we can support and improve the LibreView Data Management System and in such instances, the information sent to such third parties will not involve the use of personal information.

Abbott uses Lomaco et AGPS to ensure invoicing of telemedicine acts in France to the social security system.

Local affiliated Abbott companies: We share personal information with local affiliates so that you as a Professional User can receive direct marketing communications from us. If required by law, you will only receive such communications where you have opted-in or where we have a legitimate basis for sharing personal information as described in this Privacy Notice.

Other third parties: We may share de-identified, pseudonymized, aggregated, and/or anonymized information with affiliated Abbott companies and with other third parties for the purposes relating to the +Medical Devices and other Legal Requirements (Professional Users) section set out above. This is information that Abbott securely holds and will not be used to identify Professional Users individually by name or email address.

We may also share personal information with third parties (including affiliated Abbott companies) with whom we are jointly marketing a product or service or jointly conducting a program, survey or activity.

We will not sell or license personal information to third parties except in connection with the sale, merger, or transfer of a product line or division, so that the buyer can continue to provide Professional Users with information and services. We also will not sell personal information for commercial purposes to third parties and we may only share personal information with third parties where a Professional User has provided consent or where permitted by applicable law.

We reserve the right to disclose personal information, where required by law, to respond to any competent law enforcement body, regulatory or government agency, court or other third party where we believe the disclosure is necessary or appropriate to comply with a regulatory requirement, judicial proceeding, court order, government request or legal process served on us, or to protect the safety, rights, or property of our customers, the public, Abbott or others, and to exercise, establish or defend Abbott's legal rights. Furthermore, where permitted or required by law, we may also disclose the information we collect from Professional Users where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person, violations of this Privacy Notice, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved. The personal information associated with a Professional User's LibreView Data Management System account may be subject to foreign laws and may be accessible by foreign governments, courts, law enforcement, and regulatory agencies.

We have implemented administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect personal information, including health-related information, from unauthorized or unlawful access, accidental loss, destruction, damage, misuse, disclosure and alteration, including the use of cryptographic technologies. Abbott restricts access to personal information by its employees on a need to know basis. Personal information including health-related information may only be accessed by duly authorized personnel, respecting the principles of proportionality, and necessity and all personal information is treated with confidentiality. Please keep in mind that no internet or Wi-Fi transmission is 100% secure, so please exercise caution when uploading personal information, especially health-related information, to the LibreView Data Management System Professional User account.

FreeStyle sensors transmit personal glucose information to FreeStyle mobile apps and readers using NFC (Near Field Communication) and Bluetooth technologies. NFC and Bluetooth are both secure means of transferring information between devices. NFC provides added protection by requiring very close physical proximity. Encrypted Bluetooth connections for FreeStyle sensors are established during an NFC communication between a FreeStyle sensor and a FreeStyle mobile app or reader.

For LibreView users: Two-factor authentication may be required for you to log into LibreView, where available, and to complete your LibreView Data Management System account registration. You may either provide your phone number, email address, or some other means to be authenticated as a user of your account. You also have an option to "remember me" to avoid repeating the two-factor authentication process and you will be able to "reset" your "remember me" settings in order to be prompted to complete two-factor authentication the next time you log into LibreView.

You as a Professional User are responsible for protecting against unauthorized access to your LibreView Data Management System account, practice and patient profiles. We recommend securing access to LibreView and thereby your practice and patient profiles by always logging-out, choosing a robust password for your LibreView Data Management System Professional User account that nobody else knows or can easily guess, implementing security settings on your smartphone or computer such as a password to access it, keeping your device locked when not in use and keeping your account information and passwords private. Abbott is not responsible for any lost, stolen or compromised passwords or for any activity on Professional Users' LibreView Data Management System account from unauthorized users where caused by a Professional User. If you think your LibreView Data Management System account has been compromised, please contact us as soon as possible at DiabetesCarePrivacy@abbott.com.

Abbott uses Amazon Web Services (AWS), CROC or Microsoft Azure to host your LibreView Data Management System accounts in the cloud. The servers that host LibreView Data Management System accounts may be located in North America (United States, Canada), Europe (Ireland, France, Germany), Russia, UAE and the Asia Pacific countries (China, Japan, Australia, Singapore). You will be asked for your country of residence when you create a LibreView Data Management account. The country of residence that you select will determine where your data is stored. For example, if you reside in a member country of the European Union (EU), your personal information and health-related information you upload to your LibreView Data Management System account will be stored on servers within the territory of the European Union(Ireland, France, or Germany). For French users, Abbott hosts LibreView Data Management System accounts with AWS in France. AWS is certified by the French agency for digital health, the ANS, to host health-related information. The personal information and health-related information you upload to your LibreView Data Management System account may be stored in the country closest to your country of residence or otherwise in accordance with the data storage and privacy requirements of your selected country. When your personal information is hosted in a country other than the country you selected, it may become subject to the laws of the host country, which may not be equivalent to the laws of the country you selected. If you have incorrectly identified a different country as your country of residence, do not complete the installation. Instead, return to https://www.libreview.com and click "Sign Up". Abbott has implemented appropriate security measures and controls to protect your personal information. For more information about our global server locations and on which servers your personal information, including health-related information, is stored, please see https://files.libreview.io/files/globalLogos/pp-image.png.

If you as a Professional User select a country outside the United States of America as your location, we may occasionally need to access, transfer or view your personal information in order to provide you with technical support related to your LibreView Data Management System Professional User account and/or support and maintain the LibreView Data Management System. The personal information may include your name, email address, and in certain exceptional circumstances where the issue requires the support team to view patient personal information, the health-related information of your patients. Access to personal information is via a secure network from the United States of America and only occurs to the extent it is necessary to provide the technical support and/or maintenance required. Professional Users' use of technical support is governed by the privacy policies relevant to your country of residence, which can be accessed at https://www.diabetescare.abbott/worldwide-locations.html

In addition, we also transfer Professional Users' personal information (in de-identified, pseudonymized aggregated and/or anonymized form where possible), for the purpose of complying with our legal obligations as described in the +Medical Devices and other Legal Requirements (Professional Users) section. The United States of America may not provide data protection or privacy laws equivalent to the laws of your country; however, we follow regulatory guidance and implement appropriate contractual, technical and organizational safeguards and supplemental measures to protect personal information and will implement additional safeguards as required to continue to protect personal information.

BY CREATING A LIBREVIEW DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ACCOUNT AND BY ACKNOWLEDGING AND AGREEING TO THIS PRIVACY NOTICE, WE ARE INFORMING YOU AS A PROFESSIONAL USER OF THESE TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE ACCESS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION, INCLUDING YOUR PATIENTS' HEALTH-RELATED INFORMATION, WHICH MAY BE REQUIRED IN EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES TO RESPOND TO ANY SUPPORT REQUESTS YOU SUBMIT OR TO SUPPORT AND MAINTAIN THE LIBREVIEW DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. THE LAWS IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA MAY NOT OFFER AN EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF PROTECTION FOR PERSONAL INFORMATION WHEN COMPARED TO SWITZERLAND, THE UNITED KINGDOM, A EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA COUNTRY OR OTHER COUNTRY WITH DATA PROTECTION OR PRIVACY LAWS IN WHICH YOU ARE LOCATED.

Abbott (or its affiliates) may use your personal information as a Professional User to send you advertising and marketing-related information about diabetes care or their other products and services if (where required by law) you opt-in to receive such communications or if there is a legitimate basis for sending you such communication. We may also invite Professional Users to participate in surveys about our products, provide you with news and newsletters, or notify you about special offers and promotions at any time. These materials may be sent by us or by an affiliate of Abbott. Professional Users may opt out from receiving marketing-related communications by either clicking on the unsubscribe link in each marketing-related communication or by contacting us at DiabetesCarePrivacy@abbott.com.

Abbott will not sell personal information to third parties for direct marketing purposes.

Where you as a Professional User opt out of receiving marketing-related information about diabetes care, we may continue to send you non-marketing related information in compliance with the law. This information may be in relation to necessary system and service updates or issues including product safety.

You may correct your profile information (your name, email address and password) through the LibreView Data Management System account settings which can be accessed through LibreView. We are not able to correct or amend any sensor readings or any data uploaded from a FreeStyle reader by you or your patients, but we will assist you with deleting your LibreView Data Management System Professional User account and creating a new one so that you can reload the correct information.

Depending on the location of a Professional Users' practice, you may have the right to: (a) access the personal information we hold about you; (b) request we correct any inaccurate personal information we hold about you; (c) delete any personal information we hold about you; (d) restrict or cease the processing of personal information we hold about you; (e) object to the processing of personal information we hold about you; and/or (f) receive any personal information you have provided to us on the basis of your consent in a structured and commonly used machine-readable format or have such personal information transmitted to another company by using the export function in your LibreView Data Management System account, where accessible. Please note that Abbott is not required by law to adopt or maintain systems that are technically compatible with other companies. It may not be possible for Abbott to directly transmit your personal information to another company.

To request the exercise of these rights, please contact us using any of the methods set out in the section titled +Contact Us.

Your patients may also have these rights in relation to the personal information held about them through the LibreView Data Management System. Abbott will provide reasonable assistance and cooperation to assist Professional Users with responding to requests by your patients to exercise their rights.

If you would like to delete your LibreView Data Management System Professional User account, you may do so by logging into your LibreView Data Management System account via www.libreview.com and using the delete account functionality. Please be aware that if you delete your account, we will retain aggregated and de-identified information and may need to retain certain personal information when required by law.

Once your LibreView Data Management System account and any associated personal information (which includes your personal information and your patient personal information you uploaded under your patient profile) has been deleted, you will no longer have access to the LibreView Data Management System and deletion of your account is irreversible. You are not therefore able to reactivate your LibreView Data Management System account or retrieve any personal information, including health-related information, so you may want to download and save any required information before requesting that we delete your account from the LibreView Data Management System.

If your patient has shared their LibreView Data Management System account information with you and requests that we delete their LibreView Data Management System account, once deleted, you will no longer be able to remotely view information from their reader or FreeStyle App.

If you reside in the United States, please see the +USA section for additional information related to deleting your LibreView Data Management System Account.

Abbott reserves the right to delete inactive LibreView Data Management System accounts after six (6) months. We will notify you in advance by sending an email to the email address associated with your LibreView Data Management System account so that you have an opportunity to ensure your account stays current and available for your use.

YOU AS A PROFESSIONAL USER ARE A CONTROLLER OF YOUR PATIENTS' PERSONAL INFORMATION INCLUDING HEALTH-RELATED INFORMATION WHERE YOU CREATE A PATIENT PROFILE IN THE LIBREVIEW DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND ENTER SUCH INFORMATION INTO THAT PROFILE. PROFESSIONAL USERS' MUST NOTIFY SUCH PATIENTS OF ALL OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN THIS SECTION AND, WHERE APPLICABLE, OBTAIN THEIR EXPLICIT CONSENT TO THE USE OF THEIR PERSONAL INFORMATION BY ABBOTT. Abbott processes patient personal information as a 'controller' for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice (see +Abbott's Use of Your Patients' Information and +Medical Devices and other Legal Requirements (Patients) for more information about Abbott's processing of this information as a controller).

You as a Professional User should advise your patients that we use their personal information including health-related information provided to us by you for the following reasons:

  • to provide patients with a link to create a LibreView Data Management System account where you have requested one to be sent to them so that they will have access to their personal information, including health-related information, in an easy to use and effective manner, to allow them to store, back-up and retrieve historical glucose and other values and to have continuous access to information about how they manage their diabetes. When a patient creates a LibreView Data Management System account, Abbott provides such patient with an Individual User Privacy Notice, which explains Abbott's processing of their personal information, as a controller, as part of providing the patient with a LibreView Data Management System account; and
  • to help us fix any technical issues with the LibreView Data Management System and to perform broader analysis to detect systemic issues, including where we contact you or your patient regarding important product or performance issues, or where we respond to your or your patients' questions or respond to requests for support, troubleshooting or any performance issues, including where you share diagnostic data, including health-related information, with us, as set out in greater detail in the privacy policies relevant to your country of residence which can be accessed at https://www.diabetescare.abbott/worldwide-locations.html.

When we process personal information, we may need to disclose the personal information to third parties as described in +How Abbott Shares Personal Information of Professional Users' Patients with Third Parties below.

Abbott may use personal information relating to patients, including health-related information, to comply with various legal requirements. For example, as a medical device manufacturer, Abbott has certain legal obligations to help ensure the ongoing safety of its devices. This may require Abbott to share personal information with regulatory authorities (e.g., where a Professional User reports an adverse incident relating to an Abbott device). Information Abbott may be required to share is not used to identify a patient individually by name or email address, except where there is a legal obligation to include this information, such as when a health care provider makes a complaint or reports an adverse incident. Our parent company, Abbott Laboratories, assists us as a processor to ensure such information does not identify a patient by de-identifying, pseudonymizing, aggregating and/or anonymizing the personal information.

The legal requirements for which Abbott may use this information include:

  • ensuring the ongoing safety of a device and any future development;
  • monitoring and improving the quality, security and effectiveness of medical devices and systems;
  • performing broader analysis to detect systemic issues for public interest in the area of public health;
  • validating upgrades, and keeping the LibreView Data Management System safe and secure;
  • identifying options to improve the usability, performance and safety of the LibreView Data Management System;
  • testing and evaluating the LibreView Data Management System to improve product features and functionality; and
  • where required by law, responding to requests from any competent law enforcement body, regulatory or government agency, court or other third party where we believe the disclosure is necessary or appropriate to comply with a regulatory requirement, judicial proceeding, court order, government request or legal process served on us, or to protect the safety, rights, or property of our customers, the public, Abbott or others, and to exercise, establish or defend Abbott's legal rights. or where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person, violations of this Privacy Notice, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.

We use the terms 'de-identify' and 'pseudonymize' interchangeably. The US Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and its implementing regulations (HIPAA) describes de-identified information as information where 'there is no reasonable basis to believe that the information can be used to identify an individual'. The EU General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679) (GDPR) defines 'pseudonymization' as 'the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information'. Anonymized data is information that does not relate to a person and from which a person cannot be identified, and this kind of data falls outside data protection and privacy laws.

For more information about HIPAA, please see our Abbott Diabetes Care Notice of Privacy Practices and the +USA section below for further information. For more information about GDPR, please see the +European Economic Area, UK and Switzerland section below.

You as a Professional User should inform your patients that Abbott will retain personal information associated with your Professional User account for the following periods for these purposes:

  • Medical Devices and Other Legal Requirements: as legally required for a maximum period of ten (10) years from the last date the device was placed on the market by Abbott or other legally required retention period in order to comply with its obligations as described in the +Medical Devices and other Legal Requirements (Professional Users) section; and
  • Diagnostic/troubleshooting data (U.S.): pursuant to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration requirements related to diagnostic and troubleshooting data, contact information is kept for as long as a customer support ticket remains live. Once we have resolved or closed your customer support ticket, we retain your contact information and details of the fault for the longer of 2 years after you reported the fault or 10 years after the product is no longer manufactured. For further information visit https://freestyleserver.com/Payloads/cig/lrd/pn/DOC41501-020_rev-B-Attachment-2.html.

Unless otherwise stated above, Abbott will continue to store your patients' personal information for the period that you have an active Professional User LibreView Data Management System account, unless you choose to delete their patient information sooner. Your Professional User LibreView Data Management System account will be considered to be inactive once there has been no activity on it for six (6) months.

Where your patient is a child, you should advise their parent/guardian of the following:

  • When you invite a child to register for a LibreView Data Management System account, you are required to enter the email address of their parent/guardian as children are not permitted to hold their own LibreView Data Management System account. Where required, you may need to obtain the consent of the child's parent/guardian for their child to be able to use the LibreView Data Management System, and upon obtaining such consent, a LibreView Data Management System account will be created for use by the child.
  • If you have a child patient already authorized by his/her parent/guardian to use an existing LibreView Data Management System account, the parent/guardian will be notified and must authorize the sharing of the information contained within the LibreView Data Management System account being used by the child, with you. We will send parents/guardians notice via their registered email address when such settings have been accessed, and it is the parent's/guardian's responsibility to manage these settings for the child.
  • At any time, a parent/guardian may stop the collection of a child's personal information, including health-related information, by requesting that Abbott delete the LibreView Data Management System account they set up for use by their child by contacting us at DiabetesCarePrivacy@abbott.com. Such requests will result in the deletion of the account being used by the child, and you should advise the parent/guardian that we retain aggregated and de-identified information and may need to retain certain personal information as required by law.

When you as a Professional User upload or enter personal information about your patients into the LibreView Data Management System, you should inform your patients that we share their personal information, including health-related information, as follows and in each case only the minimum amount of personal information is shared, which is necessary for the purposes for which the third party is engaged:

Healthcare Providers: Healthcare providers have the ability to use the LibreView Data Management System to create patient profiles and to connect patients' readers to their LibreView Data Management System account in order to view and print out patient reports and to remotely view patient reports and share those reports with other professionals in their practice. Abbott discloses such information to patients' healthcare providers pursuant to its contract with the healthcare provider and processes such information as a 'processor'.

Where requested by the Professional User, Abbott may also share patients' personal information with Professional Users' electronic medical records system, but only in countries where this is permitted or where the patient has opted into or otherwise consented to such sharing. Where Abbott shares patients' personal information and health-related information in this way, it does so under a data sharing agreement with the Professional User. If the patient does not have a LibreView Data Management System account and the patient visits their healthcare professional to connect their reader to the healthcare provider's LibreView Data Management System account, which in turn connects to the healthcare provider's electronic medical records system, then it is the responsibility of the healthcare provider to obtain opt-in or other consent as required by law.

Additionally, in the United States, Abbott may disclose your patient's personal information to their healthcare provider or to other third parties in accordance with our Abbott Diabetes Care Notice of Privacy Practices, including when the healthcare provider requests that the LibreView Data Management System send a report of your glucose data directly to their electronic medical record system. Please see the section titled +USA for additional information.

Abbott Laboratories: We share patients' personal information with our parent company to assist us as a processor with tasks such as de-identifying, pseudonymizing, aggregating and/or anonymizing information and to assist with IT operations to support the diagnostic data platform.

Third-party suppliers: We share patients' personal information with third-party suppliers to provide, maintain, host, and support the LibreView Data Management System. Abbott uses Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and other cloud providers to host LibreView Data Management System accounts in the cloud. Please see the section titled +Data Storage (Patients)for further information. Where we provide personal information to third-party suppliers to assist us with the provision of LibreView Data Management System accounts, they are required to keep personal information confidential and secure and to use Personal Information to the minimum extent necessary. Where possible, Abbott uses third party service providers to report system errors so that we can support and improve the LibreView Data Management System and in such instances, the information sent to such third parties will not involve the use of personal information.

Abbott uses Lomaco et AGPS to ensure invoicing of telemedicine acts in France to the social security system.

Local affiliated Abbott companies: Where we require assistance from Abbott companies in your country to address diagnostics/troubleshooting and any issue your patient has reported, we will share the minimum amount of your patient's personal information necessary to such Abbott company.

Other third parties: We may share personal information with third parties where your patient has expressly asked us to do so and/or provided consent to share their personal information, including health-related information, with third parties (including our partners), including where they choose to share reports with you. We will not sell or license personal information to third parties except in connection with the sale, merger, or transfer of a product line or division, so that the buyer can continue to provide you with information and services. We will not sell personal information for commercial purposes to third parties and we may only share personal information with third parties where you have provided consent or where otherwise permitted by applicable law.

Third Party Partners of Abbott: We also may share your patients’ personal information with third parties where they have expressly asked us to do so and/or consented to share their personal information, including where they use the share functionality in the LibreView Data Management System. When they use that share functionality, their personal information, including health-related information from their third party connected device , sensor or reader, such as their glucose targets, glucose values, insulin, logged food, logged exercise and other logged notes may be shared. Where they decide to share their personal information, including health-related information, the use of their personal information, including health-related information by the third party partner of Abbott is not governed by this Privacy Notice, and will be governed by the third party partner’s privacy policy

Your patients’ third party connected device, where applicable, may share data with the LibreView Data Management System. When your patients connect the device of an Abbott third party partner to the LibreView Data Management system, and their third party connected device shares data with the LibreView Data Management System, the consent choices that your patients have made for the LibreView Data Management system will apply to the data they share from the connected device to Abbott. The sharing and use of your patients’ data by the third party partner will be governed by the third party partner’s privacy policy.

Your patients can elect to stop sharing data to/from your LibreView Data Management System account at any time by turning off the sharing function.

We reserve the right to disclose personal information, where required by law, to any competent law enforcement body, regulatory or government agency, court or other third party where we believe the disclosure is necessary or appropriate to comply with a regulatory requirement, judicial proceeding, court order, government request or legal process served on us, or to protect the safety, rights, or property of our customers, the public, Abbott or others, and to exercise, establish or defend Abbott's legal rights. Furthermore, where permitted or required by law, we may also disclose the information we collect about your patients where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person, violations of this Privacy Notice, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.

You as a Professional User should inform your patients that we have implemented administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect personal information, including health-related information, from unauthorized or unlawful access, accidental loss, destruction, damage, misuse, disclosure and alteration, including through the use of cryptographic technologies. Abbott restricts access to personal information by its employees on a need to know basis. Personal information including health-related information may only be accessed by duly authorized personnel, respecting the principles of proportionality, and necessity and all personal information is treated in confidentiality. Please keep in mind and remind your patients that no internet or Wi-Fi transmission is 100% secure, so please exercise caution when uploading their personal information, especially health-related information, to your LibreView Data Management System Professional User account.

You as a Professional User should also inform your patients that FreeStyle sensors transmit personal glucose information to FreeStyle mobile apps and readers using NFC (Near Field Communication) and Bluetooth technologies. NFC and Bluetooth are both secure means of transferring information between devices. NFC provides added protection by requiring very close physical proximity. Encrypted Bluetooth connections for FreeStyle sensors are established during an NFC communication between a FreeStyle sensor and a FreeStyle mobile app or reader.

You as a Professional User should also inform your patients that for some FreeStyle Apps, Android devices require location services permissions to be granted in order to discover and connect to the FreeStyle Libre sensor using Bluetooth technologies. The data from such location services is not collected by the FreeStyle App or transferred from the device; as such, it cannot be used by Abbott. Once the sensor is connected, location services permissions can be turned off with no impact on the FreeStyle App; however, they must be turned on again to connect to a new sensor. For more information on Google's privacy practices, please see Android's support website.

You as a Professional User should also inform your patients that the LibreView Data Management System may be unavailable during periods of routine maintenance.

You as a Professional User should inform your patients that Abbott uses Amazon Web Services (AWS), CROC or Microsoft Azure to host your LibreView Data Management System accounts in the cloud. The servers that host LibreView Data Management System accounts may be located in North America (United States, Canada), Europe (Ireland, France, Germany), Russia, UAE and the Asia Pacific countries (China, Japan, Australia, Singapore). Patients will be asked for country of residence when creating a LibreView Data Management account. The country of residence selected will determine where data is stored. For example, if your patients reside in a member country of the European Union (EU), your patients’ personal information and health-related information uploaded to the LibreView Data Management System account will be stored on servers within the territory of the European Union (Ireland, France, or Germany).For French users, Abbott hosts LibreView Data Management System accounts with AWS in France. AWS is certified by the French agency for digital health, the ANS to host health-related information. The personal information and health-related information uploaded to the LibreView Data Management System account may be stored in the country closest to the selected country of residence or otherwise in accordance with the data storage and privacy requirements of the selected country. When personal information is hosted in a country other than the country selected, it may become subject to the laws of the host country, which may not be equivalent to the laws of the country selected during registration. If your patients have incorrectly identified a different country to their country of residence, you should inform them not to complete the installation. Instead, they should return to https://www.libreview.com and click "Sign Up". Abbott has implemented appropriate security measures and controls to protect your patients’ personal information. For more information about our global server locations and on which servers your patients’ personal information, including health-related information, is stored, please see https://files.libreview.io/files/globalLogos/pp-image.png.

If your patients are located outside the United States of America, we may occasionally need to access, transfer or view their personal information, such as their name and email address, and in certain exceptional circumstances your patients' health-related information contained in the LibreView Data Management System, via a secure network from the United States of America where necessary for us to provide you with technical support and/or to support and maintain the LibreView Data Management System. Your use of technical support is governed by the privacy policies relevant to your country of residence, which can be accessed at https://www.diabetescare.abbott/worldwide-locations.html.

In addition, we also transfer your patients' personal information (in de-identified, pseudonymized, aggregated and/or anonymized form where possible), for the purpose of complying with our legal obligations as described in the section titled +Medical Devices and other Legal Requirements (Patients). In addition, when your patients consent to allow us to use their personal information for research, they also consent for us to transfer de-identified, pseudonymized, aggregated or anonymized data which does not identify them by name, to the United States, for the purpose of conducting Research as described in the Individual User Privacy Policy The United States of America may not provide data protection or privacy laws equivalent to the laws of their country of residence; however, we follow regulatory guidance and implement appropriate contractual, technical and organizational safeguards and supplemental measures to protect personal information including access via a remote network and, where required by law, a data transfer agreement, and will implement additional safeguards as required to continue to protect personal information.

Once device related data is uploaded to the LibreView Data Management System, it may not be changed by Abbott.

Depending on your patients' place of residence, they may have the right to: (a) access the personal information we hold about them; (b) request we correct any inaccurate personal information we hold about them; (c) delete any personal information we hold about them; (d) restrict or cease the processing of personal information we hold about them; (e) object to the processing of personal information we hold about them; and/or (f) receive any personal information they have provided to us on the basis of their consent in a structured and commonly used machine-readable format or have such personal information transmitted to another company by using the export function in their LibreView Data Management System account, where accessible. Please note that Abbott is not required by law to adopt or maintain systems that are technically compatible with other companies. It may not be possible for Abbott to directly transmit your patients' personal information to another company.

Where you as a Professional User have created a patient profile in the LibreView Data Management System, you as a Professional User are responsible for handling requests from such patients to exercise the above rights in accordance with applicable data protection and privacy laws.

Where you have created or added a patient profile to the LibreView Data Management System, we will co-operate with you to fulfill valid patient requests to exercise their above rights upon receiving proper notice from you.

The Public Information Access Agency, in its capacity as supervisory body of Act No. 25.326, has jurisdiction over all accusations and complaints made by those affected in their rights for infringements to regulations in force referred to the protection of personal information.

If you wish to make a complaint about a breach of the Privacy Act, the Australian Privacy Principle ("APPs") or a privacy code that applies to us, or if you have any queries or concerns about our Privacy Notice or the way we handle your personal information, please contact us using the details above and we will take reasonable steps to investigate and respond to you.

If after this process you are not satisfied with our response, you can submit a complaint to the Office of the Information Commissioner. See http://www.oaic.gov.au/privacy/privacy-complaints, to obtain the relevant complaint forms, or contact the Information Commissioner's office. We are not likely to disclose personal information overseas, except as permitted by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), unless we otherwise advise you in writing. We may transfer personal information to the United States. You consent (or, in the case of your patients' personal information commit to obtaining the necessary consent) to that disclosure and agree that by giving or obtaining that consent, Australian Privacy Principle 8.1 no longer applies, and we are not required to take reasonable steps to ensure that the overseas recipient does not breach the APPs in relation to that information.

YOU AS A PROFESSIONAL USER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WHERE YOU CREATE A PATIENT PROFILE IN THE LIBREVIEW DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND ENTER PATIENT DATA INTO THAT PROFILE OR USE THE PERSONAL INFORMATION OF ANY INDIVIDUAL WITH A LIBREVIEW DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ACCOUNT WHO SHARES DATA WITH YOU OR YOUR PRACTICE FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING MEDICAL TREATMENT, YOU ARE THE CONTROLLER AND ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLYING WITH APPLICABLE DATA PROTECTION AND PRIVACY LAWS.

When your patient creates a LibreView Data Management System account and grants you access to that account or where you set up a LibreView Data Management System account for your patient, and in each case provide the patient with medical treatment, Abbott (through the LibreView Data Management System) acts as a "processor" by processing both your and your patient's personal information on your behalf.

Where you set up a LibreView Data Management System account for your patient, Abbott acts as a processor of your patients' data when providing technical support to you and supporting and maintaining the LibreView Data Management System. Your use of technical support is governed by the privacy policies relevant to your country of residence which can be accessed at https://www.diabetescare.abbott/worldwide-locations.html.

Where Abbott uses patient personal data you enter into the LibreView Data Management System where required by law, including to comply with medical devices regulatory requirements, Abbott will be the controller and will comply with applicable local data protection and privacy laws. Where your patient has independently created a LibreView Data Management System account, either for their own use or for the use of a child or other person for whom they provide care, Abbott will be a controller of the patient's personal information and will comply with applicable local data protection and privacy laws. Abbott will treat all such patient personal information, including data concerning health information, in accordance with the LibreView Individual User Privacy Notice.

You should ensure that your patients are made aware of the following information, which applies equally to them and to you:

Both you and your patients have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you are unhappy with any aspect of Abbott's processing of your personal information. The contact details of our European data protection officer along with other useful contact information are available at www.EU-DPO.abbott.com.

If you or your patients would like to exercise any rights in respect of your personal information, as set out in the Privacy Notice, and are contacting us by email, please title your email subject line accordingly (for example, "Correction Request" or "Access Request"), or other right as applicable in the subject line of the email. We will do our best to respond to all reasonable requests in a timely manner, or at the very least, in accordance with any applicable legal requirement.

Abbott processes personal information as a controller based on the following legal bases described in the GDPR:

For Italy only – Where a GDPR Article 6 and a GDPR Article 9 lawful basis is referred to above, please refer only to the references to GDPR Article 9 for the lawful basis.

We may need to access and/or transfer personal information contained in the LibreView Data Management System, and in certain exceptional circumstances the health-related information of patients, as explained in +Cross-Border Transfers of Professional Users' Personal Information and +Cross-Border Transfers of Professional Users' Patients' Personal Information via a secure network from the United States of America to the extent necessary for us to provide you with technical support or to troubleshoot any LibreView Data Management System issues. Such cross-border transfers are only where required and on a case-by-case basis and are pursuant to the derogations set out in GDPR Articles 49(1)(b) and 49(c) (or the respective provisions in the Swiss data protection law where applicable) as such transfers are limited to those necessary for us to perform our contract with you, or a contract in the interests of your patients, for the provision of a LibreView Data Management System Professional User account. We also transfer personal information to the United States to comply with our legal obligations, as further described in +Cross-Border Transfers of Professional Users' Personal Information and +Cross-Border Transfers of Professional Users' Patients' Personal Information, and +Medical Devices and other Legal Requirements (Professional Users) and +Medical Devices and other Legal Requirements (Patients). Such cross-border transfers are made pursuant to the derogation set out in GDPR Article 49(1)(d) (or the respective provisions in the Swiss data protection law where applicable) because it is in the public interest for Abbott to comply with its legal obligations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will agree to enter into an adequacy mechanism for data transfers, such as the European Commission approved Standard Contractual Clauses.
