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
corporate@partnec.com
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

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.

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.
