This Privacy Policy also describes your data-protection rights and how you can exercise them.
Our Online Channels may include links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by Captec Medical. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of such third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies separately.
