How will we use the information you provide?

Elekta conducts customer surveys to gather feedback to improve the products and services we provide and in accordance to ISO 13485:2016 Medical devices — Quality management systems — Requirements for regulatory purposes.

This identifiable data will only be shared with relevant people who are involved in the delivery or development of our products and services, who monitor quality and adherence to Elekta internal policies, and who may reside within the European Economic Area(EEA) and outside the EEA.

Data may also be processed incidentally by people in Elekta as part of survey deployment, survey analysis or IT maintenance and development.

Any survey data that is shared more widely is aggregated and with your personal data removed. Please be aware that comments made within the open text boxes are shared and Elekta recommend that that you do not provide any personal identifiable information within the free text boxes from which it would be possible to identify you in order to keep your survey responses anonymous.

How long will we keep the information you provide?

Elekta will store and utilize personal data linked to a survey response for a maximum of 3 years before it is fully anonymized.
