IV. Payment Amount. The Client agrees to pay the Service Provider the compensation for the Service performed under this Agreement as agreed upon by established contracts, service tickets, purchase orders, and statements of work.

Hereinafter known as the “Payment Amount.”

VIII. Return of Property. Upon the termination of this Agreement, all property provided by the Client, including, but not limited to, cleaning supplies, uniforms, equipment, and any other items, must be returned by the Service Provider.

  2. Injunction.

Service Provider further agrees that in the event the Client suffers any loss or damage as a direct result of a violation of this provision, the Service Provider shall indemnify and hold harmless the Client from any such loss or damage.

XIII. Safety. Service Provider shall, at their own expense, be solely responsible for protecting its employees, sub-Service Providers, material suppliers, and all other persons from the risk of death, injury, or bodily harm arising from or in any way related to the Services or the site where Service is performed (“Work Site”). In addition, Service Provider agrees to act in accordance with the rules and regulations administered by federal law and OSHA.

Any provision hereof which imposes upon the Service Provider or Client an obligation after termination or expiration of this Agreement shall survive termination or expiration hereof and be binding upon the Service Provider or Client.

XVI. Default. In the event of default under this Agreement, the defaulted Party shall reimburse the non-defaulting Party or Parties for all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the non-defaulting Party or Parties in connection with the default, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees. Additionally, in the event a suit or action is filed to enforce this Agreement or with respect to this Agreement, the prevailing Party or Parties shall be reimbursed by the other Party for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the suit or action, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees at the trial level and on appeal.

We may collect and process the following categories of personal data:

  • Web browsing usage data (eg, website visits, IP address, device information, browser type, logs)

The legal basis for processing your personal data may include the necessity of processing for the performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, consent, and legitimate interests pursued by Arthrex as the data controller.

If a statutory legal basis does not exist, Arthrex may request for you to separately consent to the processing of your personal data. Such consent may be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.

  1. Assessment of United States Authorities’ Interest in Arthrex Personal Data Transfers

In addition to the EU – U.S. DPF adequacy decision, we have conducted an extensive risk assessment of the Arthrex’s personal data transfers, considering the following factors:  the purpose(s) for which the personal data is transferred and processed (e.g., marketing, HR, data storage, IT support, clinical trials).    

  • The types of entities involved in the processing (e.g., public/private; controller/processor).
  • The sector in which the transfer occurs (e.g., medical, telecommunication, financial, etc).
  • The categories of personal data transferred (e.g., personal data relating to children may fall within the scope of specific legislation in the third country).
  • Whether the personal data will be stored in the third country or whether there is only remote access to the personal data stored within the EEA.
  • The format of the personal data to be transferred (e.g., in plain text, pseudonymized or encrypted).
  • The possibility that the personal data may be subject to onward transfers from the third country to another (or within the same) third country.

These factors and particularly the nature of the personal data transferred is supporting an argument that the U.S. government is unlikely to seek to acquire the transferred information. As a medical device company, Arthrex is not involved in an industry with heightened national security concerns (e.g., defense contracting, intelligence community support, government contracting, or provision of critical infrastructure). Instead, the company’s transferred information typically includes personnel personal data, data system security, online learning user credentials and account information, and medical records that may contain personal data. These medical records are primarily used to develop specific surgical tools and plans, monitor patient recovery and progress in certain post-surgery circumstances, and, in limited instances, to provide technical support for surgical video recording processes. Arthrex is receiving the personal data from its EU subsidiary in order to support its routine business efforts, which are not sensitive in terms of national security or counter-intelligence considerations. The personal data is not transferred to additional countries from the United States, and when transmitted to the United States it is either sent in an encrypted format, or securely accessed remotely from the United States. Arthrex has not received, and is unlikely to receive, any U.S. government request regarding personal data processed by Arthrex. Therefore, it could not be reasonably expected that any personal data processed by Arthrex would be of particular national security interest.

  1. Additional Considerations

Where applicable, Arthrex will exclusively store and process personal data of the European data subjects within the European Union. In such cases, the personal data is not retained in the United States, and any access to such data from the United States is based on a need-to-know requirement, such as fulfilling customer support requests, providing specific security assistance, or conducting technical troubleshooting.

Transfer of personal data to US is done strictly on need-to-know/need-to-have bases according to Data Processing Agreements outlining the organizational and technical measures Arthrex has in place to protect the personal data of European data subjects.

Arthrex acknowledges that in the event of an order to grant personal data access to US authorities, Arthrex would be obliged to inform customers, enabling them to terminate their agreement with us and halt personal data transfers to our organization. It is important to note that Arthrex has never had to issue such a notification, and based on the aforementioned evaluation, it is highly improbable that such circumstance will arise in the future.

  1. Conclusion

Based on the comprehensive analysis outlined above, we assert with confidence that the risk of harm to the data subjects is minimal. This conclusion is based on the rigorous protective measures and safeguards implemented by Arthrex, along with the highly improbable likelihood of requests for personal data access by US authorities in relation to our product and services. Therefore, taking into account these factors and in compliance with relevant legal obligations, we affirm that the risk of harm to the data subjects is considered insignificant.

Regardless of low-risk exposure concerning the transfer of personal data of the European data subjects to the US, Arthrex is fully committed to maintaining compliance with the principles and safeguards outlined in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and all relevant regulations, as well as best practices in data protection. By upholding these standards, we ensure the secure and lawful transfer of personal data, demonstrating our unwavering dedication to protecting our customers’ privacy.
