Privacy Statement

This Privacy Policy is designed to tell you about our practices regarding collection, use, and disclosure of information that you provide via this site. Please be sure to read this entire Privacy Policy before using or submitting information to this site.

Through this website, Actelion will collect information that can identify you, such as your name, birth date, e-mail, mailing address and other similar information ("personal data") when it is voluntarily submitted. Actelion will use your personal data to respond to requests you make of us, and from time-to-time, we may refer to your personal data to better understand your needs and how we can improve our products or services. We may also use your personal information to contact you, provide you with general health information (like information on certain health conditions), as well as information about our products and services.

Some of the services provided on this website may require registration. When registering with Actelion, you may need to provide certain personal information as well as pick a user name and password. Any such registration is voluntary. Please note that in the event you decide to withhold certain requested personal data, it may not be possible for you to access certain parts of the website.

By using our website, some information may be automatically collected by our web servers as you browse the site. For example, our web server automatically collects information known as "clickstream data," such as the domain name of the site providing you with Internet access, the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet, your browser type and version, operating system and platform, the average time spent on our site, pages viewed, information searched for, access times and other relevant statistics. We also may collect information by using technologies and methodologies that enable tracking, such as "cookies". "Cookies" are small pieces of information that a website transfers to the hard drive of a visitor's computer for record-keeping purposes. "Cookies" provide visitors a personalized experience on our site by enabling us to determine unique preferences and trends based on visits to our website and to other websites. Most browsers used by visitors have options that allow the visitor to control whether the browser will accept "cookies", reject "cookies", or notify the visitor each time a "cookie" is sent, but setting a browser to reject "cookies" may limit the range of features available to the visitor on our site. Please be aware that rejecting or disabling "cookies" will not necessarily limit all forms of site tracking technologies and methodologies.

We take reasonable precautions to keep all information obtained from our online visitors secure against unauthorized access and use. Only Actelion-authorized individuals are allowed to access the information.

We may share your personal data with agents, contractors or partners of Actelion in connection with services that these individuals or entities perform for, or with, Actelion. These agents, contractors or partners are restricted from using this data in any way other than to provide services for Actelion. For example, we may provide your information to an entity for hosting our databases, for data processing services, or so that we can mail you information that you requested.

Actelion may share your information with carefully selected third parties to provide you with additional information we think may interest you. However, Actelion aims to ensure that such third parties provide the same degree of protection as Actelion does and, where appropriate, Actelion will contractually bind a third party to process personal data only for the purpose explicitly authorized by Actelion.

We may also provide your personal data to a third party in connection with the sale assignment or other transfer of the business of this website to which your data relates, in which case we will require any such buyer to treat your data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

To the extent permitted by law, we may disclose personally identifiable information to government authorities or third parties pursuant to a legal request, subpoena or other legal process. We may also use or disclose your data as permitted by law to protect the rights or property of Actelion, our customers, this website or its users.

Actelion attempts to ensure that your personal data is updated, accurate and complete. You are entitled to access and update your personal data or to request for its deletion at any time. If you wish to access, amend or delete your personal data held by Actelion, please contact our Webmaster at the address shown below. Actelion will address your request promptly and free of charge. Requests to delete personal data will be subject to any applicable legal and ethical reporting or document filing or retention obligations with which Actelion must comply. In all other cases, Actelion will keep personal data only as long as is reasonably required for business purposes related to the basis for collection of the personal data, and in accordance with any applicable legal or ethical reporting or documentation retention requirements.

This website is not intended nor designed for children under the age of 18. Actelion does not knowingly collect personally identifiable data from any individual under the age of 18.

This Privacy Policy applies solely and exclusively to this website. Links to Other Sites
