    Information for US residents

    Coherent Healthcare Ltd is a UK-based company and our primary privacy framework is UK GDPR. Where we handle personal information of US residents through this website, we also observe the following:

    California residents (CCPA / CPRA)

    Under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA, you have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, the right to delete it, the right to correct it, the right to opt out of "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (we do not sell or share personal information in the CCPA sense), and the right to limit use of sensitive personal information. To exercise any of these rights, contact support@coherenthealthcare.com.

    HIPAA

    When we act as a Business Associate to a US Covered Entity, the handling of Protected Health Information is governed by the Business Associate Agreement we sign with that Covered Entity, and by the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules. The privacy notice published by each individual Covered Entity applies to their patients — this notice covers only information collected directly through coherenthq.com.


    Information for Canadian residents

    Where we handle personal information of Canadian residents through this website, we comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial legislation.

    Your rights

    You have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, to request corrections, and to withdraw consent to further processing (subject to legal or contractual restrictions). Requests should be sent to support@coherenthealthcare.com.

    Complaints

    You have the right to lodge a complaint with us directly, or with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

    Personal Health Information

    Where Coherent handles personal health information on behalf of an Ontario health information custodian, the Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA) applies. Our obligations in that context are governed by the agreement we sign with the custodian, and any complaint about PHI handling can be raised with the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario.


    Cookie Policy

    This cookie policy covers both coherenthq.com and any platform you access as a Coherent customer.

    What cookies are

    Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They let us remember things like your preferences and understand how the site is being used so we can improve it.

    Scope

    The analytics cookies described below are used only on our marketing website (coherenthq.com). Our customer-facing platform does not set analytics or marketing cookies — only the strictly-necessary cookies needed to keep you signed in and the service running.

    Types of cookies we use

    Strictly necessary cookies

    Required for the site and platform to function — for example, session management, authentication, and security. Under UK GDPR and PECR these do not require consent because they are essential to deliver a service you have requested.

    Analytics cookies

    Provider: Google Analytics 4, supplied by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland).

    What it does: measures aggregate traffic, page views, and user journeys through the marketing website so we can improve content, navigation, and performance. We do not use Google Signals, Google Ads remarketing, or other GA advertising features.

    Cookies set: _ga, _ga_6T6K0RKR94, GAESA. GA4 property ID: G-6T6K0RKR94.

    Retention: our GA4 property is configured to retain user-level and event-level data for 2 months, the GA4 minimum. The _ga cookie itself expires after 2 years and _ga_6T6K0RKR94 after 2 years if not refreshed.

    International transfers: data is processed by Google and may be transferred outside the UK / EEA, including to the United States. Google relies on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK Addendum, and (for US transfers) on its certification under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and the UK Extension. See Google's privacy policy and the Google business privacy notice.

    Marketing cookies

    We do not currently use marketing or advertising cookies. If that changes, we will update this policy and ask for your consent before any marketing cookies are set.

    Lawful basis and consent

    Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), analytics cookies require prior, opt-in consent. No analytics cookies are set, and no data is sent to Google, until you click Accept all (or enable Analytics under Customise) in our cookie banner. Strictly-necessary cookies are excluded from this requirement.

    Once consent is given, the lawful basis under UK GDPR for processing the resulting analytics data is legitimate interests, as described under "Prospective customers and buyers" earlier in this notice — namely our legitimate interest in understanding how visitors interact with our marketing website so we can provide relevant information about our products and services to organisations we have entered into, or are exploring, a partnership with. We have carried out a balancing assessment and consider this processing to be low-risk because the data is aggregated, retained for the GA4 minimum of 2 months, and is not used for advertising or profiling.

    How to give or withdraw consent

    You can give, change, or withdraw consent at any time via the Cookie Settings link in our footer. Withdrawing consent will stop further analytics cookies being set and will clear the existing GA cookies from your browser on the next page load. You can also block GA across all sites using the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or clear cookies from your browser at any time.

    International visitors

    If you are visiting from outside the UK, we apply the same opt-in cookie standard to everyone regardless of location, as a matter of policy.
