Accuray Incorporated and the applicable Accuray affiliate(s) involved in the processing activity (“Accuray,” “we,” or “us”) respects your privacy and wants you to be familiar with how we obtain, use, and share personal information. In this Accuray Privacy Notice (this “Notice” or “Accuray Privacy Notice”), we describe how Accuray processes and protects the information collected on our websites and online platforms that provide information and services you seek.
Please read this Notice carefully before using or accessing our websites or submitting information to us. Your use of our websites is subject not only to this Notice, but also to the Accuray Terms of Use, disclaimers and other notices on the websites. By using or accessing our websites and/or by providing us with information, you acknowledge that you have read and understood, and agree to, our privacy practices described in this Notice.
In general, personal information means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. Examples of personal information can include names, addresses, email addresses, telephone numbers, and IP addresses.
There are certain places on our websites where you may choose to provide us with personal information about yourself. For example, you may want to submit your name, address, email address, and/or other identifying information to us via our websites.
To protect your privacy, we ask that you do not provide us with any sensitive information, including any protected health information, on or through our websites.
Personal information will be processed as necessary for a contract we have with you, to provide services you have requested, to create and maintain your account with us, receive information about various topics, register for Accuray events and courses, fulfill purchase orders, contact Accuray’s customer service, and marketing activities.
We may also process personal information to improve the services we provide to you, communicate with you, test or research for product development, further personalize or improve our websites, products or services, including for information security operations, fraud prevention, and to comply with applicable laws, or to protect the operation of our websites and/or other properties.
The legal basis for processing your data includes explicit consent, performance of a contract with you, legitimate business interests or compliance with our legal obligations.
For the processing of data described above, under GDPR Accuray is the data controller.
When you visit our websites, there may be certain bits of information that are automatically collected via tracking technologies including browser cookies placed on your computer’s hard drive, such as the type of web browser you use, the name of the domain from which you access the internet, and the date and time you access our websites. Accuray cookies by themselves will not be used to find out the identity of any user. Instead, we will use the information collected to provide you with the best possible site navigation experience. We can use the information collected to provide better service, customize our websites based on customer preferences, and otherwise administer and improve our websites for your use. For more information about data collected and how we use cookies, please see Accuray Cookie Use Notice.
Accuray currently does not recognize or respond to a user’s “Do Not Track (DNT)” signals. However, some third-party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. Do Not Track is a preference you can set in your browser (if supported) to opt-out of online behavior tracking. Currently, there is no industry standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals, and as a result, we do not respond to them.
However, we respect your privacy and provide other means for you to control your data. You can manage your cookie preferences through our Cookie Settings page, and you can opt out of targeted advertising through the Network Advertising Initiative or the Digital Advertising Alliance.
If you receive emails about products or services, promotion or marketing materials, you can opt-out of receiving the marketing emails by clicking on the unsubscribe link located at the bottom of the message or notifying us as specified in the “Contact Accuray” section of this Notice. These opt-out procedures will not be available for emails that are necessary to provide notice or confirmation of a transaction or status (such as a purchase, service request or change in the visitor’s user profile).
We may disclose personal information for a business purpose to: (i) our affiliates; (ii) service providers; or (iii) third parties that interact with us in connection with the services or activities we engage (e.g., vendors that provide hosting services for our websites or external portal, event registration, credit card processing, and supplying items ordered by our customers).
Accuray complies with applicable law and legal obligations to respond to governmental, law enforcement and court requests for personal information about our users. In certain situations, Accuray may be required to disclose personal information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. Accuray may access and use your personal information for a legitimate purpose to protect company rights, including in the event of a dispute, in response to legal process or law enforcement, or any abuse of our website.
If Accuray is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, in each case such that control of Accuray changes, we will take steps to inform you via a prominent notice on our websites of any change in control or uses of your personally identifiable information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personally identifiable information.
We may also disclose your personal information to other third parties with your prior consent.
Under applicable privacy law and the GDPR, you may have specific rights in relation to your personal information. In particular, and subject to the statutory requirements, you may be entitled to:
We are committed to the protection of data and have implemented technical and organizational measures to help protect information you submit to us from loss, alteration, or unauthorized access, use or disclosure. While we take steps to protect your personal information and keep it secure, you also play an important role in protecting your information and request that you adhere to good security practices. Please see the information Security section in the Accuray Terms of Use for additional information and how to contact Accuray Security.
Accuray does business in many countries with different requirements. Please be aware that any information you provide to us or that we obtain because of your use of the Accuray websites may be processed and transferred to countries other than the country in which you reside, including to the United States, which may have different data protection or privacy laws than the country in which you reside or work. We will ensure that appropriate legal and/or contractual safeguards (e.g., adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses) are in place for such transfers as required by your local legislation (where applicable). The information may also be maintained or accessed in servers or files located in the United States under United States privacy laws. Please do not submit any information if you do not wish to have that information processed or stored in the United States or any other country that is not the one in which you reside or work. By using any Accuray websites and/or by providing us with your information, you acknowledge and agree that you understand your information will be subject to the collection, transfer, processing, and storage of information to and in the United States and/or another country that is not your country of residence.

In such event, please make a verifiable request if you are under 18 years of age. If you are less than 13 years of age, such verifiable request must be made by your parent or guardian.
