Privacy Policy
Who We Are
Volta Medical, Inc. (“Volta Medical”) has a mission to develop digital health platforms and artificial intelligence-powered tools and analytics that revolutionize interventional cardiac electrophysiology for the benefit of patients with cardiac arrhythmias.

Applicability of This Privacy Statement
This Privacy Statement is intended for residents of the United States, including visitors to www.aiforafib.com (“Site”) and, where applicable, applies to Personal Information that Volta Medical obtains and processes other than through the Sites (for examples, see paragraph “How we use the information we collect“). This Privacy Statement does not apply to protected health information (“PHI”) subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and its implementing regulations (“HIPAA”). In certain cases, we may be subject to contracts with your health care providers which impact our use and disclosure of PHI. In those cases, we will follow the contracts to which we are subject. Please see your health care provider’s HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices to understand how they will use and disclose PHI collected via Volta Medical devices.

Volta Medical is part of a global organization and any information that you provide or we collect, will be available to Volta Medical affiliates around the world. This means that your information may be transmitted to our affiliates and vendors located in a country other than the United States. However, regardless of the country to which your Personal Information is transferred, it will be protected in a manner consistent with the protections described in this Privacy Statement.
By using this Site, you consent to the collection, use, storage, and processing of your Personal Information in the United States and in any country to which we may transfer your Personal Information in the course of our business operations.

Please review this Statement carefully. To the extent permitted by applicable law, by providing us your Personal Information or otherwise interacting with us, you are agreeing to this Statement.
