1. Privacy Policy
The term "Personal Data" used in this Privacy Policy refers to information such as your name, date of birth, e-mail, correspondence address, or phone number that can be used to identify you. In principle, we will only process Personal Data as set forth in this Privacy Policy. However, we reserve the right to perform further processing to the extent permitted or required by law or in support of a legal or criminal investigation.
The following sections explain how and when we will collect Personal Information from you.

2. Purpose of Personal Data
For most of our services, no form of registration is required, which allows you to visit our site without telling us who you are. For some services, however, you may need to provide us with Personal Information. In such a case, if you choose not to provide the Personal Data you request, you will not be able to access certain parts of the site and we will not be able to respond to your inquiry.
We may collect and use Personal Data to provide you with products or services, invoice the products and services you want, offer products and services that we believe may be of interest to you, or to communicate with you with a different purpose, as evidenced by the circumstances, or for which we inform you when collecting Your Personal Information.

3. Non-disclosure of Personal Data
We will not sell, share or otherwise transfer your Personal Information to third parties except as provided in this Privacy Policy. We may disclose your Personal Information to other Affiliates of Novartis worldwide who agree to treat them under this Privacy Policy. It is also possible to transfer Personal Data to third parties acting on our behalf for further processing according to the purpose (s) for which they were originally collected or to be otherwise legally processed, such as such as service delivery, evaluation of the usefulness of this website, marketing, data management or technical support. These third parties have agreed with us to use Personal Data only for the agreed purpose and not to sell your Personal Information to third parties, or to disclose it to third parties except as permitted by law, our permission or the terms of this Policy for privacy.
It is also possible that personal data collected by you will be passed on to a third party in the event that the commercial activity of this site or part thereof and the related customer data are sold, assigned or transferred, in which case we will require the buyer, assignee, or transferee treat the Personal Data pursuant to this Privacy Policy. In addition, Personal Data may be disclosed to a third party if we are required to do so under applicable law, court order or governmental act or if disclosure is otherwise necessary in support of a criminal or other legal inquiry or proceeding in the country or abroad.

4. Right of access, correction and objection
For each Personal Data processing we take reasonable steps to ensure that your Personal Information is accurate and up to date for the purposes for which it is collected. If processing is not reasonably necessary for a legitimate business purpose as described in this policy or our lawfulness, we will give you the opportunity to object to the processing of your Personal Information. In the case of electronic direct marketing we will offer you a way to choose an option not to get marketing materials or a way to choose a receipt option if required by law. If you would like to contact us regarding our use of your Personal Data or to object to the processing of your Personal Information, please email us at [email protected]. In the message to us, provide 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, along with a proper identification of your identity.
