through the App or to which the App frames or contains references or links
not operated or controlled by SANOFI and/or METEDA (“the Third Party
Services”). This App Privacy Policy does not apply to Third Party Services.
The availability of, or inclusion of links to, any such site or web
property on the App does not imply our review or endorsement of the Third
Party Services. We suggest contacting those sites or web properties
directly for information on their privacy policies.

place for securing your Personal Data.
You will therefore find below all relevant information regarding the

content of this App Privacy Policy may change from time to time, for
instance in case of evolution of our processes or as a result of applicable
law. METEDA and/or SANOFI reserve the right to amend this App Privacy
Policy without prior notice. If METEDA and/or SANOFI change this App
Privacy Policy, an updated version will reflect those changes. You are
advised to consult this App Privacy Policy regularly for any changes. By
using this App, you consent to any material changes to this App Privacy
Policy and any new practices that may affect your previously collected
Personal Data.
