When we collect information, we do so to ensure that you get to experience our service seamlessly. For that, we collect the following information.

The personal information that we collect about you are the following:

Name
Email address
Professional or employment related information

How do we collect such information?

We may use any of the following ways to get information about you.

The information that you give us
The information that we automatically collect from you

Before going into the reasons why we collect the information that we do, we want you to understand what the above terms mean.

a. The information that you give us

When you contact us through our website contact form, send us an email, or place an order, we will collect information such as your name, email address, and professional or business contact details. These are the information that you give us. This may not be limited to what we have mentioned and can change according to the nature of the inquiry or transaction.

b. The information that we automatically collect from you

When you access our website from a device, we may automatically collect information from your device, such as through the use of cookies. You will know more about automatic collection of personal information in the next section.

We do not purchase personal information from data brokers, data aggregators, or data marketplaces.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small packets of information that are placed on your device, so that we can retrieve the information about you, such as your choices on our website and other information.

For more information about cookies and similar technologies, please visit our cookie policy.

Do not track requests

We respond to "do not track" requests in the following manner:

Our website does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" (DNT) browser signals because no consistent industry or legal standard for DNT has been finalized. However, you can manage your cookie preferences at any time through our cookie consent banner, and you can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. California residents may also exercise opt-out rights as described in the "Your California Privacy Rights" section of this policy.

Why do we collect information about you?

We collect information about you for a variety of reasons. It helps us, among other things, to serve you better. The following are the ways in which we use the information that we collect about you.

To provide and maintain service
To contact the user
To evaluate and improve our products/services
To examine the usage trends
To manage user requests related to business transfers, such as when our business is acquired, amalgamated, merged, restructured, or otherwise sold or transferred to another entity, in whole or in part
To send marketing and promotional communications
To respond to business inquiries and provide requested information about our products and services
To maintain website security and prevent fraudulent activity
To conduct business development and outreach to prospective customers and partners in the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries

How long do we retain your information?

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). In general, we retain contact information for inactive prospects for up to 36 months following the last meaningful interaction, after which we review and either delete or anonymize the record. We retain transaction and business communication records for the periods required to meet our legal, tax, and contractual obligations, which generally require retention for at least 7 years.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Do we share your information?

We may share your information with third parties in the following ways:

Service providers: We share information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, analytics, email, and customer relationship management. These providers are contractually bound to process your information only as instructed by us and only for the purposes of providing their services.
Sharing with your consent: When you give consent, we may share your information with third parties for the purposes that are mentioned in the consent notification.
Legal Obligations: We may disclose information where we are legally required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process, such as in response to a court order or a subpoena (including in response to public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements).
For business transfers: We may share your personal information in connection with, or during the course of negotiations regarding merger, sale of business assets, financing or acquisition of all or a part of our business by another entity.

Sale/sharing of information

We do not sell the personal information we collect from our users, and we do not "share" personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA.

GDPR Disclosures

Cross border data transfer

The information that we collect from you, including your personal data, may be processed in locations outside the European Union, including in the United States, where data transfer laws may differ from those in effect in your jurisdiction. In some cases, the transfer may be to countries classified as 'adequate countries' by the European Union (see here for details on adequate countries). However, where the transfer is not to an adequate country, we have implemented appropriate legal measures in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation to ensure that your personal information is adequately protected.

Standard Contractual Clauses: When we transfer the data collected from you, including personal data, to third countries that are not deemed adequate, we have agreements in place with processors in those countries that include the Standard Contractual Clauses mandated by the GDPR. For more information on Standard Contractual Clauses, please see here.

Where international data transfers are not to an adequate country, the following precautions have been taken to ensure the safety of your personal data.

EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF) certifications held by our service providers, where applicable.

Government authorities or other parties when required by law or to protect our legal rights.
Parties involved in a business transfer (such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets).

Sale and sharing of personal information

We do not sell personal information in exchange for monetary consideration. We also do not "share" personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.

Sensitive personal information

We do not collect or process sensitive personal information as defined under the CPRA for purposes that would require us to offer a "Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information" right.

Retention of personal information

We retain personal information for the periods described in the "How long do we retain your information?" section of this policy. Retention is based on the nature of the information, the purposes for which it is collected, applicable legal requirements, and ongoing business relationships.

Your rights under the CCPA/CPRA

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights:

Right to know: You have the right to request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the sources of that information, the purposes for collection, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it.
Right to delete: You have the right to request that we delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions under the law.
Right to correct: You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.

Right to non-discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA/CPRA rights. We will not deny you services, charge you different prices, or provide a different level or quality of services because you exercised your rights.
Right to designate an authorized agent: You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. We may require the agent to provide proof of authorization and may also require you to verify your identity directly with us.

How to exercise your rights

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected] or at the address listed in the "Contact us" section of this policy. We will respond to verifiable consumer requests as required by law, generally within 45 days. To verify your request, we may ask you to provide information that allows us to reasonably confirm you are the person about whom we collected personal information.

Global Privacy Control (GPC)

Our website recognizes the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, where applicable. Because we do not sell or share personal information as defined under the CCPA/CPRA, this signal does not change how we process your information, but we honor it as a confirmation of your preference.

Consequences of non-consent

We require your consent to collect information in order to provide our services to you seamlessly. However, you may refuse consent. Please note that refusing consent may have consequences, including limited access to our services and reduced features on the website.

Privacy of children

We do not knowingly provide our services to children. If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that your child has provided us with information without your consent, please contact us. Upon verification that we have collected such information without parental consent, we will remove the information from our database.

Security of your personal information

We take reasonable measures to ensure that the information we collect from you is stored securely and protected to the best extent possible. However, no method of internet transmission or digital storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. While we use commercially reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect your information, we cannot promise that it will be 100% secure.

On our website, we may provide links to external websites, apps, or services. These are not operated by us and therefore are not governed by our Privacy Policy or practices. We strongly recommend that you review the privacy policies of such websites or services before engaging with them to ensure that you do not provide personal information that you do not wish to share.
