Our headquarters are in the United States, and we have offices and distributors, and use service providers, in other jurisdictions. As part of a global group of companies located in different countries, we may disclose your information to other companies in our corporate group, or to databases or servers overseas which may be provided to us by our third-party service providers.

How We Protect your Information

Impulse Dynamics takes reasonable precautions to provide a level of security appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we collect. Although we seek to use reasonable measures to help protect your information against unauthorized use or disclosure, we cannot guarantee the security of information provided over the Internet or stored electronically, whether by us or a third party.

Transfer and Storage of your Personal Data

We may store, collect, transfer, and process your Personal Data in a country other than your country of residence. These countries include the United States, the United Kingdom, or countries in the European Union. The data protection and other laws of countries to which your information may be transferred may be different in your country.

For Residents of Europe and the United Kingdom

The European Commission and the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), have the power to determine, based on the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) or UK GDPR respectively, whether a country offers an adequate level of data protection by making an ‘adequacy decision’. Neither the European Commission nor the UK ICO have adopted a currently active adequacy decision regarding the United States. Instead, with respect to any transfers of information to the United States, we rely on other legal bases to lawfully transfer Personal Data. We will implement appropriate measures to protect and secure your Personal Data when it is transferred outside of your home country, in accordance with applicable data protection and privacy laws, including in the case of EU residents, with your consent or through the use of approved model standard contractual clauses along with supplementary measures, where determined necessary. The European Commission has determined that the transfer of Personal Data pursuant to the Standard Contractual Clauses along with supplementary measures provides for an adequate level of protection of your Personal Data. Similarly, the UK has adopted International Data Transfer Agreements. Under these standardized agreements, you have similar rights as if your Personal Data was not transferred.

You may request more information about our data transfer methods by contacting us through the methods below.

Retention of Your Information

We will always keep Personal Data for the period required to comply with applicable laws, regulations, guidance, codes of conduct, product approvals, license requirements, ethical and safety requirements. We may also maintain your information as required to comply with any contract of which we are a party. Otherwise, we keep your Personal Data:

  • For as long as needed to provide you with access to product and longer to assist us in best addressing any safety matters that may arise with respect to our products.
  • Where you have contacted us with a question or request, for as long as necessary to allow us to respond to your question or request.

Children’s Privacy

This Website is not targeted to children under the age of 18 and we do not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Data about such children. If we discover that a child has provided us with Personal Data online through this Website, we will delete this information as quickly as possible. If you believe we may have received Personal Data from a child under the age of 18, please contact us immediately.

Your Rights

  • We can only respond to your request if it is verifiable. This means we are obligated to take reasonable steps to verify your identity or your authorized agent’s authority and your right to access the information you request.

Once we have received and verified the requested information from you, we will contact you with our response to your request, including any data, if applicable.

If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
  • We will respond to reasonable requests in accordance with applicable law and subject to legal and contractual restrictions. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
  • There may be times where we cannot comply with your request. For example, if such disclosure would interfere with the privacy of others or if it would result in a breach of confidentiality. We will provide an explanation for our refusal to grant access.
