Children's Privacy Policy

This Children’s Privacy Policy, which is part of the Insulet Corporation Privacy Policy and uses terms that are defined in the Insulet Corporation Privacy Policy, sets forth additional provisions that apply to the collection, use and disclosure by Insulet Corporation of information provided by children under the age of 13 (“child” or “children”). Insulet Corporation offers or may offer Websites and Applications, including the Toby’s T1D Tale mobile application, that are primarily intended for use by children and their families. This Children’s Privacy Policy is subject to the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, as may be amended from time-to-time ("COPPA") with respect to information that is personally identifiable to a child.

When children interact with us through the Services, we may collect certain information to help us to improve the Services we offer and to understand how children are using the Services. This information could include anonymous details about the device a child uses to access the Services (e.g., operating system), or anonymous information about how a child engages with the Services, for example, the age range selected by the child, the character or “avatar” selected by the child, how long the child spends on various parts of the Services, and the child’s feedback on the Services. This information is not identifiable to the child and not considered “personally identifiable information” under COPPA or “Personal Data” under the Insulet Corporation Privacy Policy. This information may be collected by Insulet Corporation or a service provider who provides the Services or who provides support to Insulet Corporation relating to the Services (e.g., hosting provider). This information may be used for evaluation, analytics or any other internal purpose. This information may be shared with third parties in furtherance of the purpose(s) or as required by law.
