8. External links and features
Our services may contain links to third-party websites or features.

We are not responsible for the information practices of such third parties, including their collection of your personal information. You should review the privacy policies and terms for any third parties before proceeding to those websites or using those features.
Residents of certain North American jurisdictions have passed data privacy laws that provide residents with specific rights regarding their personal information. We describe these rights and how to exercise them, if applicable. This does not apply to our handling of personal information that is exempt under such privacy laws, including, but not limited to, publicly available information, information governed by the HIPAA or de-identified or aggregated information.
Understanding your rights
Right to know/request access. You may have the right to know what types of personal information we collect. Regarding personal information we have collected about you in the prior 12 months, and subject to certain conditions and exceptions, you may request:
- the categories of personal information we collected about you
- the categories of sources from which we collected your personal information
- the business or commercial purposes for collecting, selling or sharing your personal information
- the categories of third parties to whom we have disclosed your personal information
- the specific pieces of your personal information collected.
Our collection, use and disclosure of your personal information varies depending on our interactions or relationship with you. For general information about our collection, use and disclosure of personal information in the last 12 months, see “Personal information we collect,” “How we may use personal information,” and “How we may disclose personal information“.
Right to delete. Subject to certain conditions and exceptions, you may have the right to request that we delete your personal information.
Right to correct. Subject to certain conditions and exceptions, you may have the right to request that we correct inaccuracies in your personal information. You may be able to correct certain inaccuracies yourself through your account.
Right to restrict. Subject to certain conditions and exceptions, you may have the right to request that we restrict our use of your personal information if it contains sensitive data or identifiers (“sensitive personal information”). To submit a request to withdraw your consent or opt-out of the processing of your sensitive personal information, please contact privacy@resmed.com.
Our collection, use and disclosure of sensitive personal information is generally limited to what is reasonable and proportionate for the following purposes:
- to perform the services or provide the goods as reasonably expected by you
- to detect security incidents that compromise the availability, authenticity, integrity and confidentiality of sensitive personal information that is stored or transmitted
- to resist malicious, deceptive, fraudulent or illegal actions directed at Resmed and to prosecute those responsible for those actions
- to ensure the physical safety of you and others
- for short-term, transient uses
- to verify your information, provide customer support or provide similar services
- to maintain the quality and safety of a service or device that is owned, manufactured by, manufactured for or controlled by Resmed.
Right to opt-out of sales and sharing. You may have the right to opt-out of the “sale” and “sharing” of your personal information, as those terms are defined under applicable laws. While we do not “sell” personal information to third parties in exchange for monetary compensation, we may “share” the following categories of personal information for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising, as those terms are defined under applicable laws: identifiers and internet or other electronic network activity information to third-party advertising networks, analytics providers and social networks for purposes of marketing and advertising for products and services we believe may be of interest to you. We do not sell or share sensitive personal information, nor do we sell or share any personal information about individuals who we know are under 16 years old.
To opt-out from the “sharing” of personal information, see the Global Privacy Control section below and/or click “Do Not Sell or Share My personal information” on the bottom of the applicable website home page. Submitting an opt-out request will only opt you out of disclosures that are considered “sales” or “sharing,” but not out of other disclosures, such as to our service providers.
Profiling. We do not process personal information for purposes of profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects, as the term “profiling” is defined under applicable laws.
Right to non-discrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of the rights described in this section.
Global Privacy Control. California, Colorado, Connecticut, Oregon and Texas recognize the universal opt-out signal known as Global Privacy Control (GPC). GPC is a proposed specification that allows you to make a single opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information to the extent that a particular website and browser are able to recognize the signal. At Resmed, we strive to honor the GPC as a valid request to opt-out of the sale or share of your personal information to the extent applicable.
To turn on the GPC signal, you can download one of the supported browsers or extensions. You may visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org/#download for a list of the available browsers or extensions. If you choose to use the GPC signal, you will need to turn it on for each supported browser or browser extension you use.
