Your information is important to us, and we only share it as described below. We never sell your information.
Masimo Services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from those younger than the age of 16.
We work to protect the security of your personal information by using reasonable organizational, technical, and administrative measures. However, nothing is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee that your use of Masimo Services will be completely safe. We encourage you to use caution at all times. If you have reason to believe that your personal information has been compromised, please contact us.
If you reside outside the United States, your personal information may be shared or processed wherever we have locations or service providers around the world, including the United States, which may have different data protection requirements than in your country of residence. Further, we may store this information in the United States, which may not provide the same level of protections as those in your own country.
Under certain laws, you may seek to review, change, and/or delete the personal information we have about you. To the extent required, we will provide, allow you to change, or delete your personal information as long as you sufficiently verify your identity. You may contact us as described below.
This Privacy Notice only applies to Masimo Services. For example, our websites may contain links to websites that are managed and hosted by unaffiliated third parties. Masimo is not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. You should ensure that you understand the privacy practices of these third parties before visiting these sites. You use these third-party sites at your own risk.
We retain your personal information for the time period necessary to accomplish the purpose for which we collected it or longer if the law permits or requires us to do so. This varies by country and geographic region.
We don’t want to have any more personal information than we need. Thus, we ask that you do not provide us with any sensitive personal information that is not necessary for us to provide you with the Masimo Services you use. For example, we don’t need and won’t request certain information about you, such as your race or ethnicity, your health or medical conditions, political affiliations, or criminal history.
Masimo has certified adherence to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and to Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield frameworks as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce with respect to personal information that is transferred from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland to the United States within the scope of Masimo’s Privacy Shield certifications.

We use cookies and potentially other technologies, like pixel tags and web beacons, on Masimo Services. We use these to understand how you use Masimo’s websites, the webpages you visited, and to make it easier for you to navigate the websites. We also use these to remember information about you and your preferences when you re-visit Masimo’s websites in order to improve and simplify your experience. Our goal is to make your experience more personal to you. We can also use the information to optimize the experience based on your hardware, software versions, and browser type. Sometimes we will use a session ID cookie, for example, to allow you to view your shopping cart. These normally expire when you close your browser.
Most web browsers include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online.

This Notice is being provided to comply with the CCPA and any terms used in this Notice will be as defined in the CCPA.
Through our websites and other means, for example, at tradeshows, we collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer, household, or device ("personal information").

Masimo has not, and will not, sell your personal information.

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request related to your personal information. You may also make a request on behalf of your minor child. You may designate an authorized agent, by mailing us a signed, written declaration, notarized by a California authorized public notary that you authorize the authorized agent to act on your behalf to the address above.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding receipt of your request.
Timing and Format
We will try to respond to your verified request within 45 days of receiving it. If we require more time, we will let you know why and how much time we need in writing. If we cannot comply with your request for any reason, we will explain why.
For data portability requests that we can comply with, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance. This will depend on the specific information we have.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of a Consumer’s Privacy Rights
We will not discriminate against you if you elect to exercise any of your rights under the CCPA.
