Privacy Policy
Protecting your personal rights and privacy is very important to Bayer Schering Pharma. Therefore it takes the protection of your personal data very seriously.
Pledge
Bayer Schering Pharma websites are designed to provide you with resources such as information, services and support. While visiting a Bayer Schering Pharma website, you may be requested to voluntarily submit personal information such as your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address. Bayer Schering Pharma pledges to use such information diligently and treat it confidentially, complying with internationally recognized standards of privacy protection. Bayer Schering Pharma respects the privacy of visitors to its websites.
Data Collection
You can access most of Bayer Schering Pharma’s websites without being requested to submit any form of personal data. Its websites may, however, collect data in aggregate form for statistical purposes to track the total number of visitors over time, pages visited or the domain names of visitors’ internet service providers, for example. This helps Bayer Schering Pharma to analyze visitor behaviour in order to improve a website’s content or the services that it offers. No personally identifiable information is available in this process. The single user remains anonymous.
The technology used to perform this is based on the use of so-called ‘cookies,’ a ‘cookie’ being a small text file that a server stores on your PC when you visit a website; ’cookies’ cause no damage to your PC. Cookies may also be used to record your personal preferences or help provide you with individual¬ized services. You can set your browser to reject all cookies or notify you when a cookie is sent, hence giving you the option of accepting or rejecting it. However, you should be aware that by rejecting a cookie you may limit the individualized services that can be provided.
Where personalized services are offered, such as the request for materials or the sending of an
e-mail, you are likely to be requested to voluntarily submit personal data such as your name, postal address, phone number or e-mail address. Moreover, some websites may be obliged by law to restrict access to certain professions, doctors for example, for which personal data such as an appropriate professional identification will be requested. In all these cases, personal data will only be collected with your prior consent and for the exclusive purpose of providing you with the personalized services you requested.
Purpose & Disclosure
If you provide personal data to Bayer Schering Pharma, they will only be used for the specific and designated purpose you consented to before their collection. Bayer Schering Pharma will keep your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the designated purpose or as is legally required.
Bayer Schering Pharma will not sell, share, or otherwise make available your personal data to any third party unless you have given your consent previously, or it is legally required to do so.
Whenever Bayer Schering Pharma uses external partners or vendors they will be contractually bound to the same data protection standards as those applying within Bayer Schering Pharma.
Data Protection & Data Security
Bayer Schering Pharma uses organizational and technological security measures to protect your personal data from accidental or willful falsification, loss, destruction, or access by unauthorized persons. Access to your personal data is restricted to Bayer Schering Pharma employees who need to process them and who are trained to manage them correctly and confidentially.
If your personal data are transferred to a Bayer Schering Pharma subsidiary located in a country outside the European Union or European Economic Area which does not enforce comparable data protection standards, Bayer Schering Pharma will nonetheless ensure that they are adequately protected. Your personal data will not be transferred to a third party in such a country without your previous consent.
Your Rights and Choices
You have the right to inquire about your personal data, to revise them, or to request their deletion at any time. Please note that requests for deletion of personal data will be adhered to unless prevented by applicable law. You may withdraw consent for Bayer Schering Pharma’s use of your personal data at any time.
