Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy is designed to inform you about Nycomed Canada Inc. Inc.'s practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal information (information that could be used to identify you, such as your name, address, e-mail address, phone number etc.) that you may provide through your access to or usage of the Site.
Consent
Nycomed Canada Inc. does not collect personal information about you except when you voluntarily provide it. Whenever you voluntarily provide information through your access to or usage of the Site, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of that information in accordance with the provisions of this Privacy Policy.
When we collect your personal information and how we use it
Personal information may be collected in a number of instances. For example, this Site contains areas that collect information from its visitors through feedback data, such as questions, comments and suggestions. Some of the information that you provide through feedback data may be personal information. In addition, access to certain areas of the Site is restricted. In order to apply to access these restricted areas you are required to submit a registration application form which may include personal information. Further, some areas of the Site require you to submit information which may include personal information in order to benefit from specified features, such as newsletters. You will be informed at each point where personal information is collected, what information is required to be submitted and what information is optional.
Nycomed Canada Inc. may also collect information about you and your use of the Site through the use of "cookies". Cookies are small data files that are sent to your browser and stored on your computer's hard-drive when you visit certain websites, thereby "tracking" use of the Site. Nycomed Canada Inc. uses the information generated through the use of cookies to estimate the number of people that are using the Site and to track the pages of the Site that are being visited. This information tells Nycomed Canada Inc. about user interests and behaviours which can, in turn, be used to provide you with information that may be of interest to you.
Use of Information
Nycomed Canada Inc. uses your personal information to improve the content of the Site, to customize the Site to your preferences, to create a profile relating to you in order to show you content that may be of interest to you, to provide the services and features requested by you and, if you ask us to, to send you information that may be of interest to you. In certain instances, Nycomed Canada Inc. gives you the opportunity to "opt-in" to receiving such information when your personal information is attached.
Nycomed Canada Inc. may also use your personal information to create aggregated information that does not allow you to be personally identified or contacted. Rather than showing individual activity, aggregated information shows user behaviour as a whole. Aggregated information is used for Site development and to market and promote the Site.
When we disclose your personal information
Nycomed Canada Inc. may disclose your personal information to those of its affiliates and related companies that agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Nycomed Canada Inc. will not, without your permission, disclose your personal information to unaffiliated third parties except that Nycomed Canada Inc. reserves the right to disclose your personal information to third party service providers for purposes related to supporting our business, such as providing technical support and providing you with information that may be of interest to you (if you have requested or opted in to receiving such information as described above). Nycomed Canada Inc. will otherwise only release your personal information to third parties in the following limited circumstances: (i) if a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena or court order legally requires it to do so; (ii) if the rights or property of Nycomed Canada Inc., its affiliates and related companies, third party service providers or the users of the Site are in jeopardy; and (iii) if the personal safety of users of the Site or other members of the public are in jeopardy. Nycomed Canada Inc. may disclose aggregated information which does not allow you to be personally identified to its affiliates and related companies and to unaffiliated third parties.
How we protect your personal information
Recognizing that your privacy is important to you, Nycomed Canada Inc. employs technical security measures to protect your personal information. However, no transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Consequently, Nycomed Canada Inc., its affiliates and related companies, third party service providers and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents do not represent, warrant or guarantee that personal information will be protected against misuse, loss or alterations and do not accept any liability for personal information submitted to them nor for your or third parties' use or misuse of personal information.
