Terms of Use

This website is administered by LifeScienceLink. Privacy is of great concern to most users of the Internet, and is a critical part of an enjoyable and satisfactory user experience. The primary purpose of LifeScienceLink.com is to be a dynamic resource and business tool to help you in your business. We want you to feel secure when visiting our site and are committed to maintaining your privacy when doing so.

Information on LifeScienceLink.com is gathered in two ways:

• indirectly (for example, through our site’s technology); and
• directly (for example, when you provide information on various pages of LifeScienceLink.com).

One example of information we collect indirectly is through our Internet access logs. When You browse the company’s website, LifeScienceLink.com may collect information regarding the domain and host from which you access the Internet, the Internet Protocol address of the computer or Internet Service Provider You are using, and anonymous site statistical data. This information is collected for the purpose of assessing the effectiveness of the company’s website and for security reasons.

We collect information directly from you in several ways, some of which we describe in this Privacy Statement. One way is through the use of cookies. A cookie is a small data file that is sent by Web servers to your computer’s hard drive, where your Internet browser files are kept. Cookies enable Web sites to store small bits of information on your computer and retrieve that information at a later time. The cookies we use identify you merely as a number. (If you are uncomfortable regarding cookies use, please keep in mind you can disable cookies on your computer by changing the settings in preferences or options menu in your browser.)

We also collect information when you voluntarily submit it to us. Throughout our site, we provide the opportunity to register as an investigator, or participate in an online survey, or enter the password protected area. When we collect this type of information, we will notify you as to why we are asking for information and how this information will be used. It is completely up to you whether or not you want to provide it.

We analyze it to determine what is most effective about our site, to help us identify ways to improve it, and eventually, to determine how we can tailor LifeScienceLink.com to make it more effective and helpful to our existing and future clients. We may also use data for other purposes, which we would describe to you at the point we collect the information.

As a complex organization, data we collect may be transferred internationally throughout LifeScienceLink’s worldwide organization. We will not sell individual information and will share it only with our advisors. There will be other times when we need to share information, for example, in the case of an event where we need to provide our caterer with meal preference information. But again, before you submit any information, we will notify you as to why we are asking for specific information and it is completely up to you whether or not you want to provide it.

We do not generally seek to collect sensitive personal data through this site. If we do seek to collect such data, we will ask you to consent to our proposed uses of the data. We may also collect some sensitive personal data incidentally. By providing us with unsolicited sensitive personal data, you consent to our using the data subject to applicable law as described in this Privacy Statement. The references to “sensitive personal data” are to the various categories of personal data identified by European and other data privacy laws as requiring special treatment, including in some circumstances the need to obtain explicit consent. These categories comprise personal identity numbers, personal data about personality and private life, racial or ethnic origin, nationality, political opinions, membership of political parties or movements, religious, philosophical or other similar beliefs, membership of a trade union or profession or trade association, physical or mental health, genetic code, addictions, sexual life, property matters or criminal record (including information about suspected criminal activities).

You are entitled to know whether we hold information about you and, if we do, to have access to that information and require it to be corrected if it is inaccurate. You can do this by sending us an e-mail .
We take appropriate steps to maintain the security of your data on LifeScienceLink.com. LifeScienceLink maintains an appropriate level of physical, electronic and managerial procedures in order to protect the data that it collects from its website. This includes maintaining computer equipment, networks, programs and documentation to a high standard and restricting access to equipment and information to appropriate staff.
