ONCONIX Privacy Policy 1/2

 

 

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle the personal information that you provide to us on web sites controlled by Onconix (including its subsidiaries and affiliates) which link to this Privacy Policy (referred to as "Onconix web sites"). This Privacy Policy does not apply to personal information collected from you offline, to Onconix web sites that do not link to this Privacy Policy, to residents of countries other than the United States, or to third-party web sites to which Onconix web sites may link. Your use of Onconix web sites which link to this Privacy Policy is subject to this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use.

Please read this Privacy Policy before using Onconix web sites or submitting personal information to us.

How does this Privacy Policy define "personal information"?
"Personal information" means information that identifies you or could reasonably be used to identify you and which is submitted to and/or collected by Onconix web sites and maintained by Onconix in an accessible form. Examples of personal information include your name, your postal address and your telephone number.

How does Onconix collect information online?
Onconix collects information in two ways:

  • Personal Information You Submit:
    Onconix collects personal information that you enter into data fields on Onconix web sites. For example, you may submit your name, postal address, e-mail address, and/or other information in order to receive information about various subjects, register for Onconix programs, contact Onconix customer service, or respond to Onconix surveys. To protect your privacy, you should not provide Onconix with any information that is not specifically requested, such as your medical history.
     
  • Passive Collection of Unidentifiable Information:
    Onconix web sites may collect information about your visits to Onconix web sites without you actively submitting such information. Unidentifiable information may be collected using various technologies, such as cookies, Internet tags, and web beacons. Your Internet browser automatically transmits to Onconix web sites some of this unidentifiable information, such as the URL of the web site you just visited and the browser version your computer is operating. Passive information collection technologies can make your use of Onconix web sites easier by allowing Onconix to provide better service, customize sites based on consumer preferences, compile statistics, analyze trends, and otherwise administer and improve Onconix web sites. Certain features of Onconix web sites may not work without use of passive information collection technologies. Information collected by these technologies cannot be used to identity you without additional identifiable information.

In what circumstances might Onconix collect and use personal information?
Onconix will use the personal information you provide through Onconix web sites to respond to your questions and to provide you with efficient customer service. After you have entered personal information into a form or data field on an Onconix web site, Onconix may use certain identifying technologies to allow that web site to "remember" your personal preferences, such as sections of that web site that you visit frequently and, if you choose, your user ID.  We may also use this personal information for other business purposes, such as to offer you the opportunity to receive notices regarding Onconix’ products or services, to invite you to participate in surveys about our products, or to notify you about special promotions.

Does Onconix consolidate personal information?
Onconix may consolidate the personal information of customers who use Onconix web sites. We use this information to help us better design Onconix web sites and Onconix products, to communicate information to you, to enhance our marketing and research activities, and to facilitate other business functions.

What choices do I have about how Onconix collects and uses personal information about me?
You may always limit the amount and type of personal information that Onconix receives about you by choosing not to enter any personal information into forms or data fields on Onconix web sites. Some of our online services can only be provided to you if you provide us with appropriate personal information. Other parts of Onconix web sites may ask whether you wish to opt out or opt into our contact lists for offers, promotions and additional services that may be of interest to you.

You may also be provided with preference questions or preference boxes allowing you to indicate that you do not want Onconix web sites to use tracking technologies, such as cookies, to "remember" your personal information, such as user IDs or mailing addresses, on return visits. However, Onconix web sites that use tracking technologies to collect unidentifiable information do not generally provide you with the ability to opt out of the tracking technologies. Some Internet browsers allow you to limit or disable the use of tracking technologies that collect unidentifiable information.

Who will have access to personal information about me?
Personal information can be accessed by a restricted number of Onconix employees, by certain companies with which Onconix may conduct joint programs, and by individuals and entities with whom Onconix contracts to carry out business activities for Onconix. We train our employees about the importance of privacy and how to handle and manage customer data appropriately and securely. Also, it is Onconix’ practice to notify you if you are registering for a program which is conducted in conjunction with another company that may require access to your personal information. In addition, Onconix’ practice is to require its contractors to keep your personal information confidential and to use personal information only to perform functions for Onconix.
