Information Collected
There are two general methods that the Typharm Group uses to
collect personal information online:
- Information We Get
- Personal information: You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. We may collect your personally identifiable information (such as name, address, telephone number, e-mail address or other identifying information) only when you choose to submit it to us. We may also collect health information about you that you provide by responding to our questions or surveys.
- Automatically Collected Information
We automatically receive certain types of information whenever you interact with us on our sites and in some e-mails we may send each other. Automatic technologies we use may include, for example, Web server logs/IP addresses, cookies and Web beacons.
Web Server Logs/IP Addresses. An IP address is a number
assigned to your computer whenever you access the Internet. All computer
identification on the Internet is conducted with IP addresses, which allow
computers and servers to recognize and communicate with each other. The Typharm
Group collects IP addresses to conduct system ad-ministration and report
aggregate information to affiliates, business partners and/or vendors to conduct
site analysis and Web site performance review.
Cookies. A cookie is
a piece of information that is placed automatically on your computer's hard
drive when you access certain Web sites. The cookie uniquely identifies your
browser to the server. Cookies allow us to store information on the server to
help make the Web experience better for you and to conduct site analysis and Web
site performance review. Most Web browsers are set up to accept cookies,
although you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a
cookie is being sent. Note, however, that some portions of our sites may not
work properly if you refuse cookies.
Web Beacons. On certain Web
pages or e-mails, the Typharm Group may utilize a common Internet technology
called a "Web beacon" (also known as an "action tag" or "clear GIF technology.")
Web beacons help analyze the effectiveness of Web sites by measuring, for
example, the number of visitors to a site or how many visitors clicked on key
elements of a site.
Web beacons, cookies and other tracking technologies do
not automatically obtain personally identifiable information about you. Only if
you voluntarily submit personally identifiable information, such as by
registering or sending e-mails, can these automatic tracking technologies be
used to provide further information about your use of the Web sites and/or
interactive e-mails to improve their usefulness to you.

Your Choices
You have several choices regarding
your use of our websites. You could decide not to submit any personally
identifiable information at all by not entering it into any forms or data fields
on our sites and not using any available personalized services. If you choose to
submit personal data, you have the right to see and correct your data at any
time by accessing the application. Certain sites may ask for your permission for
certain uses of your information and you can agree to or decline those uses. If
you opt-in for particular services or communications, such as an e-newsletter,
you will be able to unsubscribe at any time by following the instructions
included in each communication. If you decide to unsubscribe from a service or
communication, we will work to remove your information promptly, although we may
require additional information before we can process your request. As described
above, if you wish to prevent cookies from tracking you anonymously as you
navigate our sites, you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to
indicate when a cookie is being sent.

Security
The Typharm Group uses technology and
security precautions, rules and other procedures to protect your personal data
from unauthorized access, improper use, disclosure, loss or destruction. To
ensure the confidentiality of your data, the Typharm Group uses also industry
standard firewalls and password protection. It is, however, your personal
responsibility to ensure that the computer you are using is adequately secured
and protected against malicious software, such as Trojans, computer viruses and
worm programs. You are aware of the fact that without adequate security measures
(e.g. secure web browser configuration, up-to-date antivirus software, personal
firewall software, no usage of software from dubious sources) there is a risk
that the data and passwords you use to protect access to your data, could be
disclosed to unauthorized third parties.

Use of Data

associated businesses, divisions and groups and/or the companies we hire to

helpful for us to better understand your needs and how we can improve our
products and services. It helps us also to personalize certain communications
with you about services and promotions that you might find interesting. For
example, we may analyse the gender or age of visitors to sites about a
particular medication or disease conditions, and we may use that analysis of
aggregate data internally or share it with others.
