Last modified: November 2023

1. Introduction

This Privacy Notice informs you of important information about how Pulmonx Corporation and its affiliate companies (“we”, “us” or “Pulmonx”) processes personal data, that we collect directly or indirectly through the portal hosted at https://www.PulmonxStratXUSA.com and/or https://www.PulmonxStratX.com associated web pages (the “Website”) and the StratX® Lung Analysis Platform made available therein (collectively, the “Platform”). Please read this Privacy Notice carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. The StratX® Terms of Service, including definitions of certain capitalized terms, are available online on the Website (“Terms”).

If you are a California resident, please see Section 11 for information provided pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act.

We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time in which case we will post such changes on our website and, in the event of material changes including to the purpose, we will bring this to your intention, for example by emailing you using the contact details we have been provided with.

The words “Customer” or “You” refers to the customers using the Platform or the Website being health care professionals rather than patients.

StratX® is a cloud-based quantitative computed tomography (“CT”) analysis service that supports patient selection and treatment targeting using Pulmonx products by providing information on emphysema destruction, fissure completeness and lobar volumes and procedural success based on post-treatment scans. The Platform allows Customers to upload /pseudonymised lung CT scans for patients that it wishes to be assessed for potential use of the Zephyr Valve or other Pulmonx products, or for post-implantation revisions (“Scans”). Pulmonx then generates a report, including associated data and information, unique to that Scan which contains, among other things, tabulated data on fissure completeness by lobe, destruction score by lobe, and inspiratory lobar volume by lobe and valve occlusion status by airway (the “Report”).

Pulmonx acts only as a data controller for the processing of personal data of its Customers (physicians and healthcare practitioners) and this Privacy Notice only covers that processing. Pulmonx acts only as a data processor for the processing of pseudonymised personal data contained in the Scans and Reports where it acting on the instructions of Customers and only processes such data in the context of providing services to such Customers.
