Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Merit Medical Systems, Inc. (“Merit Medical”) collects information from users of this site, how Merit Medical uses the information, and what choices users have on the collection, correction, and use of such information. When this Privacy Policy refers to Merit Medical, we, or us, it includes Merit Medical and its subsidiaries and affiliates.

Personal information collected through this site is solely obtained from you. Personal information may include your name, birth date, telephone number, postal address, e-mail address, financial information, or other personally identifiable information.

Our policy is to maintain the privacy of personal information and not to use or disclose it except as provided in this Privacy Policy. For example, you may use this site to send us your questions or comments. When you send us a question by e-mail, we will use your return e-mail address to respond to your question. We will not use your return e-mail address for other purposes and will not share your return e-mail address with others except as provided in this Privacy Policy.

Users who provide postal addresses may receive periodic mailings from us about items that may be of interest. If you do not wish to receive such mailings, please contact us. (See “How To Contact Us.”) Users who provide telephone numbers will only receive telephone contact from us if they have requested it or if the contact relates to an on-line order.

While our policy is not to disclose personal information to outside parties, we may disclose such information if we have your permission beforehand or if there are special circumstances, such as when we believe that disclosure is required by law. (See “Special Circumstances.”)

The anonymous information that we collect through this site may include the type of web browser you use, the name of the domain from which you accessed the Internet, the Internet address from which you accessed this site, the pages and areas that you have visited on this site, the date and time you accessed this site, and other information that is not personally identifiable.

We use anonymous information collected through this site primarily to improve the content and usefulness and to customize the content or layout for individual users. We may also use anonymous information to improve our marketing efforts.

If you order products directly from Merit Medical using this site, we will use the personal information you provide to process, fill, ship, and obtain payment for the order. We may also use the information to provide you with product updates and other product-related information. We do not share your personal information with outside parties, except to the extent necessary to complete and process the payment for such order or as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy.

This site may display online advertisements, and we may share with advertisers the aggregated (collective) anonymous information we collect through this site. In some instances, we may use such information to deliver tailored advertisements. For example, if an advertiser describes to us an audience it wants to reach and provides us with an advertisement tailored to that audience, we may display the advertisement to the intended audience based upon the aggregated, anonymous information we have collected. We do not share personal information with advertisers.

We may periodically conduct customer surveys. We encourage our customers to participate in these surveys because they provide us with important information that helps us to improve the types of products and services we offer and how we provide them. Your personal information and responses will remain strictly confidential, even if the survey is conducted by a third party that we hire. Participation in any of our customer surveys is voluntary.

We take the information we receive from individuals responding to customer surveys and aggregate (combine) it with the responses of other Merit Medical customers to create broader, generic responses to the survey questions (such as gender, age, residence, hobbies, education, employment, industry sector, or other demographic information). We then use the aggregated information to improve the quality of our products and services, and to develop new products and services. This aggregated, anonymous information may be shared with third parties.

It is our policy not to use or share personal information about use in ways unrelated to the ones described above, without providing users an opportunity to opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses. We may disclose such personal information, however, if we believe, in our sole discretion, that it is reasonable to do so under the circumstances. Our reasons for disclosure of personal information may include, for example, to satisfy our obligations under the law, such as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, regulations, or governmental or legal requests for information; to disclose information that is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms of Use or other user policies; or otherwise to protect Merit Medical and its customers.

A “cookie” is a small data file that can be placed on your hard drive when you visit a website. We may use cookies to collect, store, and sometimes track information for statistical purposes to improve the products and services we offer. If you are a registered user, we may use a cookie to save your settings and to provide customized access. We use cookies to store user preferences, to record session information, to record user-specific information on what pages users access or visit, to record past activity at a site to provide better service when users return to our site, to ensure that users are not repeatedly sent the same banner ads, to customize site content based on users’ browser type or other information that the user sends. These cookies do not enable third parties to access any of your information, unless they have access to your hard drive.

Advertisers may also use their own cookies. We do not control the use of such cookies and expressly disclaim responsibility for any information collected through them.

This site has electronic security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. While we will make every reasonable effort to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-party “hackers” from illegally obtaining this information. Security measures are also in place at the physical facilities where our servers are located to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of information that we have collected from you.

When we receive or transfer certain types of sensitive information, such as financial information, we utilize standard encryption technology and your browser may notify you of the secure transaction. We do not encrypt unsolicited e-mail, however, so you should avoid including personal information in any unsolicited e-mail that you send to us.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under thirteen years of age. If you are under thirteen, please do not provide us any personal information. If you have any reason to believe that someone under thirteen may have provided us personal information, please inform us immediately so that we can delete such information.

This site may hyperlink to other sites that are not maintained by, or related to, Merit Medical. Please check the privacy policies of those sites. This Privacy Policy applies only to this site.

We provide users access to information that we maintain about them, such as unique identifier information (e.g., customer number or password), transaction information (e.g., dates on which customers made purchases, amounts and types of purchases), financial information (e.g., credit card account information), and contact information (e.g., name, address, and telephone number). Users may access and correct inaccuracies in this information by sending us a written request at the postal or e-mail address listed below or by visiting www.merit.com.
