The Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. (hereinafter "we") is controller of the personal data of our customers, website users and other persons in contractual relationship with us, (hereinafter "you").
Pursuant to Article 13 of the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation) ("GDPR "), we are obliged to inform you as follows when collecting your personal data:
phone: + 1 763-205-7970
phone: +1 763-290-0900
Contact data of the controller’s representative in the European Union
If you use the websites of Inspire Medical Systems, Inc.
If you are in a speaker’s agreement concerning our proctor and/or preceptor services
If you hold a sponsoring contract with us.
If you are in another contractual relationship with us.
Our head office is located in the United States of America. Whenever we enter into contracts that affect personal data of European citizens or even data subjects just temporarily located in the European Union, e.g. by signing agreements with European Union service providers or customers of our services which are located in the European Union, we make sure to establish an appropriate level of data protection within the meaning of Art. 46 ff. GDPR. Therefore, personal data will only be transmitted if the conditions for such transmission under the GDPR are fulfilled (e.g. signing of EU standard contractual clauses with the service provider(s) or customer(s) under Art. 46 (2) c) GDPR). A copy of such EU standard contractual clauses can be requested at any time for your reference at our data protection officer, whose contact information are indicated above.
However, sometimes, we can’t provide for such suitable guarantees within the meaning of Art. 46 GDPR to establish an appropriate level of data protection. In these cases, the legal basis for the transfer is your express consent, Art. 49 (1) a) GDPR. Such situations might lead to the risk that your rights cannot be fully protected in the United States of America. For example, access by authorities might not be prevented to the same extent as it would be within the European Union. It is also possible that government agencies in the United States of America will not fully comply with their obligations to provide information. You will be expressly informed in the respective consent form whether the data transfer to the United States of America shall be based on your consent.
We store your personal data as long as this is necessary for the execution of the contract and, in addition, as long as we are legally obliged to do so. For example, we are required by law to keep records for tax purposes (e.g. pursuant § 147 Abgabenordnung) and for accounting purposes (e.g. pursuant § 257 Handelsgesetzbuch). The retention periods are six to ten years. Insofar as we are legally obliged to store the personal data, it is stored in a limited form for your protection. If the personal data are no longer required for the fulfilment of contractual or legal obligations, the personal data will be deleted in accordance with our deletion concept.
You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), to be forgotten (Art. 17 GDPR), to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR) and to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR).
If you have given us your consent to process personal data for specific purposes, this consent is the legal basis for processing your personal data. Consent can be revoked at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation. The revocation can be made without form and should be addressed to:
You have the right to file a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data is contrary to the GDPR. This right shall be without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
In contractual relationships we collect your personal data only for the purposes described above, i.e. insofar as this is necessary for the proper execution of the contract. You are not obliged to provide personal data. However, if you do not provide any personal data, the contract cannot be fulfilled.
If we process your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interests, you may be obliged to make them available on the basis of general obligations of providing assistance. In any case, before processing your personal data, we consider whether the processing is necessary and whether your interests in nonprocessing predominate. In the case of processing based on Article 6 (1) f) GDPR, you have a right to object pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR.

Cookies cannot run programs or transmit viruses to your computer. They serve to make the internet offer more user-friendly and effective overall.
General Types of Cookies (Background)
Cookies may appear in the form of session-cookies which store a socalled session ID (your website visit until you close your browser as one “session”). The session ID can be used to assign various requests from your browser to the session. This enables your computer to be recognized when you navigate through our website and its subpages which facilitates for example filling out forms or enables us to remind your preferred language settings. Session-cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
Another type of cookies are persistent-cookies which are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can also delete persistent-cookies at any time in the security settings of your browser.
First party-cookies are owned and placed by ourselves, whereas third party-cookies are owned and placed by a third party. Third party-cookies are typically placed by that third party for advertising purposes. In the case of third party-cookies, data is transmitted and collected via other websites so that third parties have access to it.

The cookie is a first party session-cookie (explanation see above under “General Types of Cookies (Background)”).
This cookie will be deleted when the browser is closed.
Legal basis for our use of all three cookies set out above is your consent, Art.6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. At the beginning of your visit of our website, we will inform you about all cookies used by us. By further staying on our website or clicking the OK button in the cookie-banner you declare your consent to us.
This cookie is used to confirm that the website visitor comes from a known and trusted device, even if you are visiting our webpage from a potentially unsafe network (such as an internet cafe). With the Cloudflare service, we make our websites faster and safer. It does not correspond to any user ID in your web application, and does not store any personally identifiable information.
The cookie is a socalled third party persistent-cookie (explanation see above under “General Types of Cookies (Background)”).
Legal basis for our use of the Cloudflare cookie is Art.6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in ensuring the IT security of our website to identify criminal activities and to speed up loading times in order to remain competitive. In the same time we carefully take into account your interests in not processing your personal data. You have the right to object under Art. 21 GDPR in the context of processing based on Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR.
These cookies help us to understand how you interact with our website by providing data about which websites or search terms navigated you to our website, how long you typically stay on our website or how many subpages you visit on average. We use this information to improve the content of our website and to compile statistics for internal market research purposes about the individual use of our website.
We use Google Analytics’ on our website as a third party tracking cookie.
We use the web analysis service Google Analytics. The contact data of the provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics places a tracking cookie on your computer. The information (including your IP address as personal data) generated by the tracking cookie about your use of the website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google places the cookies (1) _dc_gtm_UA-19063362-5 and _gat for a duration of just 1 minute, (2) the cookie _ga for a duration of 2 years and (3) the cookie _gid for a duration of 24 hours. However, as this website uses Google Analytics with the extension "anonymizeIp()", prior to transmitting the information, your IP address as personal data will be shortened by Google within the European Union/European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address will be transmitted to a Google server and shortened only within the territory of the United States.
Google uses the generated information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage. We therefore use Google Analytics to analyse and regularly improve the use of our website. We can use the statistics obtained to improve our services and make them more interesting for you as a user. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google is EU-US Privacy Shield certified and therefore provides adequate safeguards to protect your personal data (https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework).
As mentioned above, this website uses Google Analytics with the extension "anonymizeIp()". This means that IP addresses are shortened for further processing and that it is not possible to identify you as a person. As far as the data collected includes personal data about you, that personal data is immediately deleted. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not combined with other Google data.
Legal basis for our use of Google Analytics is your express consent for which we ask you at the beginning of your website visit; Art.6 (1) lit. a) GDPR.
For more information on how Google Analytics uses personal and general user data, please refer to Google's privacy policy:
You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. In addition, you can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and Google from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
We have concluded a commissioned data processing agreement with Google to comply with the requirements of the German data protection authorities for the use of Google Analytics.
We use Google Analytics via the Google Tag Manager which is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags through a single interface. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-free domain and does not collect any personal information. The tool just triggers other tags of Google, such as of Google Analytics.
