Zimmer Biomet values your privacy and the protection of your Personal Data. This Zimmer Biomet Privacy Notice (“Notice”) explains how we collect, use, share, transfer, and process information collected from or about you (“Personal Data”) (as defined further below) by any subsidiary or affiliate of Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. (collectively “Zimmer Biomet,” “we,” “our,” or “us”).
The Zimmer Biomet subsidiary or affiliate with whom you, your Healthcare Provider, or your patient is interacting or who owns and operates the Product or Service is, where applicable, the entity responsible for the collection and use of your Personal Data (known in some jurisdictions as the data controller). A list of the data controllers and contact details can be found in the section “Contact Us” and in Appendix 1 to this Notice.
Please carefully review this Notice. We will process any Personal Data we collect in accordance with applicable law and as explained in this Notice (unless, as explained below, a separate policy or notice governs). In some circumstances, if you do not want to provide us with your information, certain Products and Services may be unavailable to you. To the extent permitted by applicable law, by providing us your Personal Data or otherwise interacting with us, you are agreeing to this Notice. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, it is your choice not to use our Products and Services or otherwise engage with us.
If you provide Personal Data of anyone other than yourself, please note that you are responsible for complying with all applicable privacy and data protection laws prior to providing that information to Zimmer Biomet (including obtaining consent, if necessary and required).
This Notice describes the types of Personal Data that Zimmer Biomet may collect or process, how we may use and disclose that Personal Data, and how you may exercise any rights you may have regarding the processing of your Personal Data.

Zimmer Biomet may have other unique privacy notices that apply to certain specific situations, such as privacy notices for specific Products and Services. To the extent you were provided with a different privacy notice or policy that applies, those policies or notices will govern our interactions with you, not this one.
“Personal Data” is any information – as electronically or otherwise recorded-- that can be used to identify a specific individual or that we can link directly to an individual, such as name, address, email address, telephone number, credit card number, or health or treatment information, as applicable. Personal Data in some jurisdictions can include information that indirectly identifies a person – such as a unique number assigned to a patient by a Healthcare Provider, even absent other identifying information. Please note that, for patients, as described below, we often receive information about you from your Healthcare Provider.
Personal Data may include information considered sensitive in some jurisdictions, such as biometric information, genetic information, health information, financial account information, specific geolocation, ethnic or racial origin, information concerning your sex life or your sexual orientation, social security number, driver’s license number, state identification card number, passport number, and other similar information. Personal Data that could be considered sensitive Personal Data under applicable law is indicated with a caret (^) in the chart below.
The below table is a high-level summary of the types of Personal Data we may collect from you. Following that high-level summary is additional detail and information on how we collect, process, and use Personal Data and the potential sources and recipients of your Personal Data, now and over the past twelve months. Some jurisdictions require us to state the legal bases for processing your Personal Data, which is included below, but please note that not all jurisdictions may recognize all legal bases. The types of Personal Data we collect and disclose depends on your relationship with Zimmer Biomet. Not all of the categories listed in the following charts may apply to you.
