- Information from Cookies and Similar Technologies.
We and our service providers may collect information using cookies or similar technologies from users of the Service in the U.S. and Canada. Cookies are pieces of information that are stored by your browser on the hard drive or memory of your computer or other Internet access device. Cookies may enable us to personalize your experience on the Service, maintain a persistent session, passively collect demographic information about your computer. The Service available in the U.S. and Canada may use different kinds of cookies and other types of local storage (such as browser-based or plugin-based local storage).
Cookies, and similar online tracking technologies (such as web beacons, action tags and single-pixel gifs) are small text files stored by your browser on your computer when you visit a website. Cookies permit us to recognize you and avoid repetitive requests for the same information, customize and improve the Service, as well as to manage our advertising.
Most browsers will accept cookies until you change your browser settings to refuse them. You may change your browser’s settings to refuse our cookies. However, if you do so, you will turn off strictly necessary cookies and may have difficulties accessing the Service or logging in.
What types of cookies are used on our website?
We use the following categories of cookies on the Service:
- Strictly necessary cookies. Some cookies are strictly necessary to make the Service available to you and save your choices related to cookies every time you access our website. We cannot provide you with the Service and apply your privacy choices across your visits without this type of cookies.
- Functional cookies. These are used to recognize you when you return to the Service.
- Analytical or performance cookies. We also use cookies for analytics purposes in order to operate, maintain, and improve the Service. We use third-party analytics providers, including Google Analytics, to help us understand how users engage with the Service. Google Analytics uses first-party cookies to track user interactions which helps show how users use the Service. This information is used to compile reports and to help us improve the Service. The reports disclose Service trends without identifying individual visitors. You can opt out of Google Analytics without affecting how you visit the Service by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or via Google’s Ads settings. To more fully understand how Google may use the data it collects on the Service, please visit https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites?hl=en-GB&gl=uk.
- Advertising and social media cookies. These cookies record your visit to the Service, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make the Service and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests, and to target visitors of the Service elsewhere on the web and on social media. We will also share this information with third parties for this purpose.

- Location Information.
When you use our mobile applications, we receive your precise location information. We may also collect the precise location of your device when the mobile application is running in the foreground or background and when the mobile application is closed, consistent with your choices. We use your location information to monitor the location of your equipment to locate lost or stolen equipment, perform market analysis, and locate nearby service representatives and branch offices. We also infer your more general location information (for example, your IP address may indicate your more general geographic region).

These analytics service providers may set and access their own cookies, pixel tags and similar technologies and they may otherwise collect or have access to information about you which they may collect over time and across different websites. On the Service and Inogen Connect Portal, we use Google Analytics to collect and process certain analytics data. [We may also allow ad network providers to set and access their own cookies, pixel tags and similar technologies to collect information about your use of the Service in the U.S. and Canada. These network advertisers may use this and other information they have collected about you to deliver targeted advertisements for products and services in which you might be interested.

To do so please visit the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) Opt-Out Page: http://www.aboutads.info/choices.]
Additionally, many network advertising programs allow you to view and manage the interest categories they have compiled from your online browsing activities. These interest categories help determine the types of targeted advertisements you may receive. The DAA Opt-Out Page provides a tool that identifies its member companies that have cookies on your browser and provides links to those companies.

We may disclose personal information about you: (i) if we are required to do so by law, regulation, or legal process, such as a court order or subpoena; (ii) in response to requests by government agencies, such as law enforcement authorities; (iii) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect against or respond to physical, financial or other harm, injury, or loss to property; or (iv) in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual unlawful activity.

YOUR DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS
In some regions, such as the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom (UK), you may have certain rights in relation to your personal information, including the right to access, correct, update, or request deletion of your personal information. Inogen takes reasonable steps to ensure that the data we collect is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and up to date. You also can manage your data by emailing our compliance department at privacy@inogen.net. However, if you are not a user of the Service and you want to contact us directly about accessing, correcting, updating, or deleting your personal information, or altering your data or marketing preferences, you can do so at any time by contacting as provided in the Contact Us section.

Similarly, if we have collected and processed your personal information with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time.

HOW WE HOLD AND PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information you provide or we collect against accidental, unlawful, or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure, or use. Unfortunately, the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure, and we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you provide to us. Moreover, we are not responsible for the security of information you transmit to the Service over networks that we do not control, including the Internet and wireless networks.
CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children. If Inogen becomes aware that any person submitting personal information to the Service is under the age of 16, we will promptly take steps to delete any personal information collected.

INTERNATIONAL USERS
If you are from the European Economic Area or other regions with laws governing data collection and use, please note that we may transfer your personal information gathered from the Service to recipients in countries other than the country in which the personal information was originally collected, including the United States of America. The other countries we share information with may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information. When we transfer your information to other countries, we will protect that information as described in this Privacy Policy. If we do so, we will comply with applicable data protection laws, in particular by relying on an EU Commission adequacy decision, on contractual protections for the transfer of your Personal Data, on Binding Corporate Rules, or on the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield framework. For more information about how we transfer personal information outside of Europe, or to obtain a copy of the contractual safeguards we use for such transfers, please contact us as specified below.
