This Policy is a statement of
the ways in which we collect, hold and use information about
individual persons. This Policy applies only to information
gathered by us from online resources that display a link to
this Policy and not from any other source. BY USING THIS
WEBSITE, YOU CONSENT TO THE COLLECTION AND USE OF
INFORMATION AS SET FORTH IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. YOU ALSO
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT PARTNEC BIOTECHNOLOGY LLC MAY PERIODICALLY
CHANGE, MODIFY, ADD OR REMOVE OR OTHERWISE UPDATE THIS
PRIVACY POLICY AT ITS DISCRETION, WITHOUT PRIOR
NOTIFICATION. It is our intention to post any such changes
on this page so that you are fully informed concerning the
types of information we are gathering, how we use it, and
under what circumstances it may be disclosed.
Our privacy policy is easy to
find as it is located on our homepage and is linked to any
part of a site where personal data are requested. At such
data collection points, further explanation may be provided,
where appropriate, as to the purposes for which the data
will be used. This Policy, coupled with any supplementary
explanation, will tell you how we will treat any data about
yourself that you voluntarily submit in connection with your
use of our websites.
1. Pledge on privacy
The term "personal data" as
used in this Policy refers to information such as your name,
birth date, e-mail address, mailing address, telephone
number or IP address that can be used to identify you.
Generally, Partnec Biotechnology LLC will not process your
personal data without your consent. However, we reserve the
right, in exceptional circumstances to conduct additional
processing to the extent permitted or required by law, or in
support of any legal or criminal investigation.
The next sections explain how
and when we collect personal data from you.
2. Intended use of
personal data
Most of our services do not
require any form of registration, allowing you to visit our
site without telling us who you are. However, some services
may require registration. When you register with us, you may
need to complete certain fields (some are required and some
are optional), as well as choose a user name and password.
In these situations, if you choose to withhold any personal
data requested by us, it may not be possible for you to gain
access to certain parts of the site and for us to respond to
your query.
We process personal data for
the purposes which we inform you about when we ask you for
information. For example, we may collect and use personal
data to provide you with products or services, to bill you
for products and services you request, to market products
and services which we think may be of interest to you, or to
communicate with you for other purposes.
We keep your data in
accordance with any applicable legal or ethical reporting or
documentation retention requirements.
3. Non-disclosure of
information
We will not sell, share, or
otherwise distribute your personal data to third parties
except as provided in this Privacy Policy. We may disclose
your personally identifiable information to other Partnec
Biotechnology LLC affiliates worldwide that agree to treat
it in accordance with this Privacy Policy, but only in
accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy. Personal
data may occasionally be transferred to third parties who
act for or on behalf of Partnec Biotechnology LLC, or in
connection with the business of the Partnec Group, for
further processing in accordance with the purpose(s) for
which the data were originally collected, such as delivery
services, evaluation or technical support. These third
parties have contracted with Partnec Biotechnology LLC that
they will only use personal data for the agreed upon
purpose, and will not sell your personal information to
third parties, and will not disclose it to third parties
except as may be required by law. Where such disclosure of
personal data to a third party occurs, we will endeavor to
ensure that the processing is performed in accordance with
the purposes and within the limits under which the data were
originally collected.
There are two additional
instances in which personal data collected from you may be
transferred to a third party. The first is in the event that
the business of this site and the customer data connected
with it is sold, assigned or transferred, in which case we
would require the buyer, assignee or transferee to treat
personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. The
second instance in which personal data may be disclosed to a
third party is if we are required to do so because of an
applicable law, court order or governmental regulation, or
if such disclosure is otherwise necessary in support of any
legal or criminal investigation.
4. Right of access
You have the right to ensure
that your personal data is always up-to-date. In some
countries you have the legal right to require us to correct
or delete your personal data. In addition, you can always
tell us to stop contacting you. If you wish to contact us
regarding our use of your personal data, please email us at:
If you contact us, please
note the name of the website where you provided the
information, as well as the specific information you would
like us to correct, update or delete. Your requests will be
dealt with in a prompt and proper manner. Requests to delete
personal data will be subject to any applicable legal and
ethical reporting or document filing or retention
obligations imposed on us.
5. Security and
confidentiality
To ensure the security and
confidentiality of personal data that we collect online, we
use data networks protected, inter alia, by
industry standard firewall and password protection. In the
course of handling your personal data, we take measures
reasonably designed to protect that information from loss,
misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or
destruction. While we cannot guarantee against any loss,
misuse unauthorized access, or disclosure, alteration or
destruction to data, we try to prevent such unfortunate
occurrences.
6. Data transfer
abroad
We are part of the Partnec
Group which has databases in different jurisdictions. We may
transfer your data to one of the Group's databases outside
your country of domicile. Even if the country to which the
data is to be transferred does not require us to provide
adequate protection for your data, we will nonetheless seek
to ensure that data transfers to Partnec databases in that
country are adequately protected.
7. Anonymous data and
"cookies"
We may collect and process
anonymous information about your visit to this website, such
as some of the pages you visit and some of the searches you
perform. Such anonymous information is used by us to help
improve the contents of the site and to compile aggregate
statistics about individuals using our site for internal,
market research purposes. In doing this, we may install
"cookies" that collect the first level domain name of the
user (e.g., "hotmail.com" from an email address of
"eric@hotmail.com") and the date and time of access.
"Cookies" as used by us cannot be used to discover the
identity of an individual user. A "cookie" is a small piece
of information which is sent to your browser and stored on
your computer’s hard drive. Cookies do not damage your
computer. You can set your browser to notify you when you
receive a "cookie," this will enable you to decide if you
want to accept it or not. We may obtain the services of
outside parties to assist us in collecting and processing
the information described in this Section and all such third
parties will be placed under the obligations described above
in Paragraph 3.
On occasion, we may use
internet tags (also known as action tags, single-pixel GIFs,
clear GIFs, invisible GIFs and 1-by-1 GIFs) in combination
with cookies at this site and may deploy these tags through
a third-party advertising partner. These tags are placed on
both online advertisements that bring users to the site and
on different pages of the site. We use this technology to
measure the visitors' responses to our sites and the
effectiveness of our advertising campaigns (including how
many times a page is opened and which information is
consulted). The third-party partner may be able to collect
anonymous aggregated data about visitors to other sites
because of these internet tags/cookies. Please be assured
that we DO NOT collect or seek through these tags or cookies
any personally identifiable information about our visitors,
such as names, addresses, email addresses or telephone
numbers. If you would like more information about web tags
and cookies associated with on-line advertising or to
opt-out of third-party collection of anonymous information,
please visit the Network Advertising Initiative website.
8. Personal
information and children
Most of the services
available on this site are intended for persons 18 years of
age and older. Any individual who requests information about
a product indicated for use in children must be 18 or over.
We will not knowingly collect, use or disclose personal data
from a minor under the age of 18, without obtaining prior
consent from a person with parental responsibility (e.g., a
parent or guardian) through direct off-line contact. We will
provide the parent with (i) notice of the specific types of
personal data being collected from the minor, and (ii) the
opportunity to object to any further collection, use, or
storage of such information. We abide by laws designed to
protect children.
9. Links to other
sites
This Privacy Policy applies
only to this website to the exclusion of third party
websites. We may provide links to other websites which we
believe may be of interest to our visitors. We aim to ensure
that such websites are of the highest standard. However, due
to the nature of the World Wide Web, we cannot guarantee the
privacy standards of every website to which we link or be
responsible for the contents of sites other than this one,
and this Privacy Policy is not intended to be applicable to
any linked, non-Partnec site.
