Last updated: 16 September 2026

qmd.net is a business-to-business informational website. It does not sell products online. We mainly collect business contact details when someone asks us to contact them, together with limited website and analytics data. We use the information to respond, manage business relationships, follow up on leads and, as described below, conduct relevant B2B sales and marketing.

As used in this Policy, “personal information” means any information that relates to you as a natural person, from which you can be identified

For the avoidance of doubt, this Policy details how we handle any personal information. Once any data has been anonymized and aggregated, so that it can no longer identify a person, it shall no longer be considered personal information, and this Policy shall no longer apply to such information.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS POLICY, PLEASE DON’T PROVIDE US ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION USING THIS WEBSITE OR OTHERWISE.

Scope and who is responsible

This policy explains how personal information is collected and used in connection with qmd.net (the “Website”). It applies to Website visitors and to individuals who communicate with QMD Group in a business or professional capacity, including representatives of companies, healthcare institutions, distributors, suppliers and other organizations.

The Website is operated by Degania Silicone Ltd., Degania Bet, 1513000, Israel (“Degania”, “we”, “us” or “our”). Degania is the primary controller of personal information collected through the Website. Relevant QMD Group companies may receive an inquiry and use the information as separate controllers when they follow up leads in their geographic area or area of expertise. The QMD Group entities covered by this policy are listed in Appendix A.

This policy does not govern personal information processed under a separate contract, employee or applicant notice, clinical study notice, or a customer’s own privacy documentation. The Website is not an online store, patient portal or medical service and should not be used to submit patient information.

We may disclose personal information to the following recipients, only as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy:

QMD Group companies, so the appropriate sales, technical or management team can handle the inquiry and manage the relationship.

Our distributors, dealers and agents worldwide; however, such distributors, dealers, agents and service providers will be contractually bound to keep your personal information confidential and appropriately secure.

A merger, acquisition or any other structural change will require us to transfer Personal information related to you to another entity, as part of the structural change, provided that the receiving entity will comply with this Policy.

Service providers supporting hosting, CRM, communications, analytics, cybersecurity, IT, document management and business operation and authorized business-productivity providers.

EEA transfer information appears in Section 10.

7. Retention

We generally retain inquiry, lead, CRM and business-contact information for five years after the last substantive interaction with you or the organization you represent. We may retain information for longer where reasonably necessary to comply with law, preserve evidence, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, protect legal rights, maintain security or honor an opt-out request. When information is no longer required, we will delete it, anonymize it or place it beyond routine use in accordance with applicable law and our retention procedures. Cookie retention periods are described in the Cookie Policy.

8. Security

QMD uses administrative, technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information.

Transfers from the EEA

Israel is recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for personal information.

You may contact us for information about the relevant safeguard.
