Under the applicable data protection legislation/regulations, you have various rights in connection with the processing of your personal information.

Intuitive Fosun shall strictly uphold your rights and is responsible for implementing adequate procedures and policies to effectively protect your rights and monitoring compliance with applicable data protection laws and regulations. We will respond and provide information upon request without undue delay and in any event within the legally required timeline for your jurisdiction. That period may be extended where possible by local law.

As data subjects, your rights may include the following, depending on your jurisdiction and applicable laws:

Right to be informed

Where personal information is collected from you directly, Intuitive Fosun will ensure that you will receive all the information required at or before the time your personal information is obtained.

Right of access

We ensure that upon request, as available in your jurisdiction, access to your personal information will be granted and the regionally appropriate information will be provided, such as:

• The specific pieces of personal information that are being held;
• The purposes of processing;
• The categories of personal information concerned;
• The recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal information has been or will be disclosed, in particular, recipients in third countries or international organizations;
• Where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal information will be stored or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period;
• The existence of the right to request from Intuitive Fosun rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing of personal information concerning the data subject or to object to such processing;
• The right to lodge a complaint with a Data Protection Authority;
• Where the personal information is not collected from you, any available information as to their source; and
• The existence of automated decision, if any – making, including profiling and meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing.

Right to rectification

You have the right to ask for rectification of any inaccurate personal data that concerns you and as appropriate, we will ensure that any inaccurate or incomplete information is erased, amended or rectified.

Right to erasure

In some jurisdictions, you may have the right to have your personal data erased, e.g. if any of the following apply in your region:

• The data is no longer needed for its original purpose and no new lawful purpose exists;
• The lawful basis for the processing is consent, your withdraw that consent, and no other lawful ground exists;
• You exercise the right to object, and we have no overriding grounds for continuing the processing;
• The data has been processed unlawfully; or
• Erasure is necessary for compliance with European Union law or national law.

We will communicate any erasure of personal data to each recipient to whom the data has been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

Right to restriction of processing

As a data subject, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data if:

• The accuracy of the personal data is contested (and only for as long as it takes to verify that accuracy);
• The processing is unlawful (and you request the restriction of processing instead of the erasure of your personal information);
• We no longer need the personal data for the original purposes of the processing, but still need it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; or
• There is a verification of overriding grounds pending in the context of an erasure request.

Right to data portability

When available, the right to data portability allows you to receive the personal data you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to transmit those data to another controller.

Right to object

When available, where processing is justified on the basis of legitimate interests, you may object to such processing, including profiling, unless Intuitive Fosun is in a position to demonstrate that compelling legitimate grounds, which override your interests, rights and freedoms, exist for the processing or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Profiling and automated decision-making

When available, where decision-making, including profiling, is based solely on automated processing and produces legal effects that concern you or similarly you are significantly affected by it, you have the right to object not to be subject to such a decision.

We do not base decision making or profiling solely on automated processing; human involvement ensures that the collaborators have the authority and competence to change the decision that concerns your personal information.

Intragroup transfers of personal data

Intuitive Surgical may transfer personal information to other entities.

Personal data transfers to third countries

Any transfer of personal information which is undergoing processing or is intended for processing after it is transferred to a third country or international organization requires special consideration and shall be carried out in compliance with local data protection legislation/regulations.

For example, as a general rule, in accordance with the GDPR, personal information shall be transferred outside the EU only if adequate safeguards are in place ensuring the same level of data protection as guaranteed under the GDPR. In addition, member states are, unless the transfer is based on an adequacy decision (see below), entitled to restrict the transfer of specific categories of personal data under their national laws.

Pursuant to the GDPR, each Intuitive Surgical entity which is subject to the GDPR shall, amongst other things, ensure that one of the following safeguards are in place when transferring data to a recipient in a third country (i.e. Non-EU country):

1. Adequacy decision. Personal data may be transferred if the European Commission has decided that the relevant third country or international organization ensures an adequate level of protection. The list of adequate countries can be found below:
• Andorra
• Argentina
• Canada
• Switzerland
• Faroe Islands
• Guernsey
• Israel
• Isle of Man
• Jersey
• New Zealand
• Uruguay
2. Appropriate safeguards. Personal data may be transferred if one of the following appropriate safeguards are in place:
1. Binding corporate rules for intra-group transfers;
2. Standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission or adopted by a Data Protection Authority and then approved by the European Commission;
3. Approved code of conduct together with binding and enforceable commitments by the third country entity to apply appropriate safeguards;
4. Accredited GDPR certification mechanism together with binding and enforceable commitments by the third country entity to apply appropriate safeguards; or
5. Contractual clauses between the relevant Intuitive Surgical entities and the third country entity authorized by the Data Protection Authority.

Currently, Intuitive Surgical entities perform intragroup transfers of personal data on the basis of an adequacy decision or on the basis of standard contractual clauses (SCCs) and certifies to the Privacy Shield. You may find more information about our Privacy Shield certification in our Privacy Shield Policy.

It includes, among other mechanisms, secured back-up and archiving servers, access control, firewalls or encryption.

Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet is certain to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect this information, we cannot guarantee its security.

In principle, we will retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary for our legitimate business purposes. Personal information must be kept to be available for legal or regulatory compliance. Retention deadlines vary depending on the type of data and the need to delete obsolete data is assessed on a case-by-case basis.

We are responsible for the secure destruction of personal information once the necessary period that was required to achieve the processing purpose ends. Such destruction must be done through a specific procedure and in order to be secure and avoid potential unlawful data processing, for instance any disclosure to Third Parties, appropriate control mechanisms to monitor the data destruction procedure are in place
