This website is provided by AstraZeneca. We take very seriously the privacy of our website users and the security of their personal information.
The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to set out the principles governing our use of personal information which you give or we obtain about you. By using this website, or (where applicable) by registering as a user of the on-line services which we provide, you agree to this use. We ask you to read this Privacy Policy carefully. Any dispute which may arise over privacy will be subject to this policy, any data collection notice incorporated into this website and the provisions of English law.
We may change our Privacy Policy from time to time. Therefore we ask you to check this Privacy Policy occasionally to ensure that you are aware of the most recent version which will apply each time you access this website.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
1 Aggregate Information
In common with many commercial organisations we monitor the use of this website by collecting aggregate information through the use of cookies (see below). No personally identifiable data are collected in this process. Typically, we collect information about the number of visitors to the website, to each web page and the originating domain name of the visitor's Internet Service Provider. This information is used to understand the visitor's use of the website and may be shared with other companies within the Group and with other third parties.
2 Personal Information
If you are required to register in order to use this website or to otherwise complete an on-line application form (eg to obtain e-mail updates) then we will collect personally identifiable information about you, such as your name, e-mail address, country of residence and other information which you voluntarily submit. We may also collect information about how you in particular use this website through the use of cookies (see below). This information helps us to personalise your experience by tailoring the content you see, optimising your enjoyment of the website. We may also perform statistical analysis on our members’ accounts to determine, among other things, how many of them are active, how frequently they are used and how many of our other websites you are registered with.
Occasionally we may obtain sensitive personal information about you, for example, information relating to your physical or mental health or condition, but only if you voluntarily provide us with this information. We may also obtain information about your opinions if, for example, you send us feedback, or ask us questions.
We may also, occasionally, receive information about you from other sources (such as third parties or other companies within the Group) which we will add to the information which we already hold about you in order to help us improve and personalise our service to you.
HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
If we have collected any personal information about you (eg because you have registered as a user, or contacted us) then we will hold and use such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and any data collection notice which we provided to you when we obtained your data.
OPTING OUT OF FURTHER COMMUNICATIONS FROM US
If we have specified (in a data collection notice on this website) that we will contact you with information about our products or services or those of other AstraZeneca companies and you wish to opt out of receiving such information, then you can do so by sending an e-mail to infomaster@astrazeneca.com. You should clearly state on all communications: your name, username (if any), registration details (if any) and the name of this website.
HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
If we collect any information relating to you, we will store it on a secure server which is password protected and shielded from the outside world by a firewall. We have in place security policies which are intended to ensure, as far as possible, the security and integrity of all our information, including your personal information.
USE OF COOKIES
Below is a summary of our use of cookies, for a fuller explanation of what a cookie is please visit “aboutcookies.org”.
In general terms, cookies are small text files which are sent to your web browser and stored on your computer's hard disk. Cookies act as a memory for a website, allowing that website to remember your computer on your return visits. This is particularly important for websites that require you to sign in as it speeds up your access. We use both session cookies (which exist only until you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which exist for a longer, specified period of time).
Some of our advertising banners may send a cookie to your hard disk (whether or not you click the banner). If you subsequently visit the advertised website we will know that you have seen our banner. This allows us to keep track of the success rates of such banners.
The majority of web browsers accept cookies, but you can usually change the web browser’s settings to refuse new cookies, disable existing ones or simply let you know when new ones are sent to your hard disk. However, please be aware that, if you refuse or disable cookies, some of the website’s functionality may be lost. To learn more about how to refuse or disable cookies please visit “aboutcookies.org”.

IMPROPER CONDUCT
We may use the information we gather and/or receive about you to investigate and help prevent unlawful activity or activity that threatens our network or otherwise jeopardises the provision of this website and we may disclose such information to third parties (such as the police) for these purposes.
