In some cases, we may use Subprocessors to assist us in providing or developing our platform or applications to our customers, such as to offer support to our customers and their authorized users and employees and to provide technical or operational support such as data hosting, transmission, and storage. Subprocessors may access, process, or store Personal Data in the course of providing their services to ActiGraph. ActiGraph maintains contracts with these Subprocessors restricting their access, use and disclosure of Personal Data in compliance with our customer and legal obligations.

Data Subjects whose Personal Data is covered by this Privacy Shield Policy have the right to access such Personal Data and to correct, amend, or delete such Personal Data if it is inaccurate or has been processed in violation of the Privacy Shield Principles (except when the burden or expense of providing access, correction, amendment, or deletion would be disproportionate to the risks to the Data Subject’s privacy, or when the rights of persons other than the Data Subject would be violated). Access is provided by contacting the applicable data controller determined as follows:

Clinical trial participants: For Data Subject participating in clinical trials, contact the trial sponsor not ActiGraph with requests for access, correction, amendment, or deletion.

If you are a Data Subject participating in a study or trial hosted on CentrePoint, the Data Controller is responsible for obtaining your consent and allowing you to opt out. Personal Data is not processed for purposes which are materially different than which it was originally collected. If this were ever to be the case, ActiGraph would provide the individuals an opportunity to opt out. 

Your Personal Data will not be shared with third parties unless we are required to do so by law, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect our property, rights, or those of third parties, or the public at large. 

If you are a registered user of our Services and have supplied your email address, we may occasionally send you informational emails. If we send informational emails as part of the Services, we will provide you with a way to request to not receive any similar notices in the future (opt-out, unsubscribe, etc.).

ActiGraph limits the collection of Personal Data covered by this policy to information that is relevant for the purposes of processing and does not process such Personal Data in a way that is incompatible with the purposes for which it has been collected or subsequently authorized by the Data Subject. 

ActiGraph takes reasonable steps to ensure that such Personal Data is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and current. ActiGraph takes reasonable and appropriate measures to retain Personal Data in identifiable form only for as long as it serves a purpose of processing, which includes ActiGraph’s obligations to comply with professional standards and business purposes and unless a longer retention period is permitted by law.
