This Policy describes the ways in which Lobeck Medical collects, holds and uses information about individual persons. It applies only to information gathered by Lobeck Medical from online resources that display a link to this Policy. By using the Lobeck Medical website, you agree to the collection and use of information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. You also acknowledge the fact that Lobeck Medical may from time to time change, modify, add, remove or otherwise update this Private Policy at its sole discretion, without any prior notification. The following statements will explain to you how Lobeck Medical treats any data about yourself that you voluntarily submit in connection with the use of the Lobeck Medical website.
Privacy
The
term “personal data” as used in this Policy refers to information such
as your name, job responsibilities, e-mail address, mailing address,
telephone and fax number that can be used to identify you. In general,
Lobeck Medical will not process your personal data without your
consent. However, we reserve the right, in exceptional circumstances to
conduct additional processing to the extent permitted or required by
law, or in support of any legal investigation.
Use of personal data
Most
of our web services do not require any form of registration, allowing
you to visit our website without telling us who you are. However, some
services may require registration (for example the registration to
receive our media releases). If you register with us, we may ask you to
complete certain fields (some of which are required and others might be
optional), or to fill in a user name and password. In these situations,
if you choose to withhold any personal data requested by us, it may not
be possible for us to respond to your query.
We process personal
data for the purposes which we inform you about when we ask you for
information. For example, we may collect and use personal data to
provide you with product or information services. We keep your data in
accordance with any applicable legal or ethical reporting or
documentation retention requirements.
Non-Disclosure of information
We
will not sell, share, or otherwise distribute your personal data to
third parties except as provided in this Policy. Personal data may
occasionally be transferred to third parties who act for or on behalf
of Lobeck Medical, for further processing in accordance with the
purpose for which the data was originally collected. These third
parties have agreed with Lobeck Medical to only use personal data for
the agreed upon purpose, and will not sell your personal information to
other third parties, and will not disclose it to third parties except
as may be required by law. Where such disclosure of personal data to a
third party occurs, we will endeavour to ensure that the processing is
performed in accordance with the purposes and within the limits under
which the data were originally collected.
Personal data may be disclosed to a third party, if we are required to do so by applicable law, court order or governmental regulation, or if such disclosure is otherwise necessary in support of any legal or criminal investigation.
Right of access
You
have the right to ensure that your personal data is up-to-date. In
addition, you can tell us to stop contacting you. If you wish to
contact us regarding our use of your personal data, please e-mail us at
info@lobeck.com.
If you contact us, please note the name of the website where you
provided the information, as well as the specific information you would
like us to correct, update or delete. Your requests will be dealt with
in a prompt and proper manner.
Security and confidentiality
To
ensure the security and confidentiality of personal data that we
collect online, we use data networks protected by industry standard
firewall and password protection. In the course of handling your
personal data, we take measures reasonably designed to protect the
information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure,
alteration or destruction.
Anonymous data collection
We
may collect and process anonymous analysis about your visit to this
website, such as what pages you visit and the kind of searches you
perform. We use such analysis to help improve the contents of our
website and to compile statistics about the use of our website for
internal purposes.
Links to other sites
This
Privacy Policy applies only to the Lobeck Medical website and
explicitly excludes third party websites. We may provide links to other
websites which we believe may be of interest to our visitors. Due to
the nature of the worldwide web, we cannot guarantee the privacy
standards of every website to which we link or be responsible for any
contents of websites other than our own. This Privacy Policy is not
intended to be applicable to any non-Lobeck Medical site.
