Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

California residents have the right to request that Abiomed, Inc. and its subsidiaries disclose certain information to California residents who request it (the Requestor) about our collection and use of the Requestor’s personal information over the past 12 months. The Requestor has the right to have their personal information deleted, corrected if inaccurate, and the use and disclosure of such information limited. Once Abiomed receives and confirms the verifiable consumer request from the Requestor, Abiomed will disclose to the Requestor:

• The categories of personal information Abiomed collected about the Requestor;
• The categories of sources for the personal information Abiomed collected about the Requestor;
• Abiomed’s business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information;
• The categories of third parties with whom Abiomed shares that personal information;
• The specific pieces of personal information Abiomed collected about the Requestor (also called a data portability request); or
• If Abiomed sold or disclosed the Requestor’s personal information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing;
• Sales, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and
• Disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category recipient obtained.

“Personal information” under the CCPA does not preclude information that is:

• Publicly available from government records;
• De-identified or aggregated consumer information;
• Health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) or clinical trial data; or
• Certain personal or financial information covered under certain sector specific privacy laws.

Categories of Personal Information We Sell

Abiomed does not sell personal information of California consumers. This does not include disclosures that are not a “sale” under the CCPA, including when:

• Consumers instruct us to disclose their personal information;
• A consumer instructs us to interact with a third party that does not sell that information;
• Abiomed uses or shares consumers’ personal information pursuant to a written contract with a service provider that is necessary to perform a business purpose, where our contract prevents the provider from using, keeping, or disclosing consumers’ personal information for any purpose other than the reason supplied in the contract; or
• Consumers’ personal information is transferred as part of a transaction in which the third party assumes control of all or part of our business.

Personal Information on Minors

Abiomed does not sell personal information of California consumers, including minors.

Non-Discrimination

Abiomed will not discriminate against a Requestor for exercising any rights under the CCPA. Unless permitted by the CCPA, Abiomed will not:

• Deny the Requestor goods or services;
• Charge the Requestor different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties;
• Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services; or 
• Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive Abiomed offers will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires the Requestor’s prior opt-in consent, which may revoke at any time.
