Privacy Notice
This Privacy Notice applies to all personal information of customers collected or used by Koninklijke Philips, N.V. or is subsidiaries (“Philips”) in connection with the registration and use of the Ultrasound software applications. This is a notice; not a contract or agreement.

How Philips stores, uses, and otherwise processes this information is explained in this Privacy Notice. This privacy notice applies to all personal information processed by the various Philips software applications listed below. Your personal information is being collected as part of the registration process for the software application
