Privacy Policy

Executive Statement

LifeEDIT respects the privacy of the patients, HCPs, colleagues and other third parties with whom we interact. Protecting the Personal Data that we receive from individuals and entities is a responsibility we take very seriously. We comply with all applicable privacy laws and regulations in the collection, protection, and use of this information.

That’s why we have established a comprehensive privacy program designed to help us respect and protect privacy rights. To protect your privacy, LifeEDIT will ensure all personal data is handled in a secure way and used only as outlined in the sections below. This privacy policy informs you what personal data we collect, how we use it and the measures we take to keep it safe. This policy is our commitment to privacy and includes provisions on processing of personal data related to clients, consumers, citizens and employees.

This privacy policy applies to all subsidiaries, business units and personal data processing activities under the responsibility of LifeEDIT. All business units are accountable for ensuring that personal data is protected in all processes across its entire life cycle, keeping privacy measures top of mind. All of our employees are responsible for compliance with this policy.

‍Scope

This policy applies to all personal data processed by all employees, contractors and partners doing business on behalf of LifeEDIT, as well as all legal entities/all subsidiaries of LifeEDIT. This policy excludes joint ventures where there is less than a 50% share by LifeEDIT.

‍LifeEDIT will adhere to privacy laws in all jurisdictions where it operates. Any mandatory registration provisions that may exist according to legal requirements must be observed. In case of uncertainty, leaders of legal entities/subsidiaries of LifeEDIT and stakeholders must consult the PO and/or general counsel.

Collection of personal data by — and the disclosure to — governmental institutions and authorities will be carried out only on the basis of specific legal provisions. In all cases, this privacy policy imposes those restrictions that are necessary to meet the legal requirements of the respective laws.

‍Guiding Regulations

GDPR, ISO270001, 22CFR 120,15CFR 730-774, Data Protection Act 2018, etc

‍Logging Practices

LifeEDIT’s web servers automatically record the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of visitors. Note, however, that if you have a broadband connection, depending on your individual circumstance, the IP address that we collect may contain data that could be deemed identifiable. This is because, with some broadband connections, your IP address doesn’t change (it is “static”) and could be associated with your personal computer or device.

As well as recording the IP addresses of users, LifeEDIT may also keep track of sites that users visited immediately prior to visiting LifeEDIT’s website and the search terms they used to find it. The web server keeps track of the pages visited on LifeEDIT’s website, the amount of time spent on those pages, the types of searches done on them, and products looked at. Your searches remain confidential and anonymous.

‍LifeEDIT uses this information only for statistical purposes, to find out which pages users find most useful and to improve the website.

‍LifeEDIT servers also capture and store information that your browser transmits. This includes:

  • Browser type/version/plug-ins used or security levels
  • Operating system used
  • Media Access Control (MAC) address
  • Screen resolution
  • Date and time of the server request
  • Location-related data (such as the geographic location of the IP address)
  • Volume of data transferred
  • Access status (“file transferred,” “file not found” and so on)

This data will be used to generate statistics that help us to further optimize our websites to meet your individual needs. We will not deduce personal information from this data. Depending on the selection of privacy settings upon visiting LifeEDIT’s website, additional personal data processing may take place following your preferences.

‍Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites to track your individual movements on that website over time. At LifeEDIT’s, we use the following categories of cookies:

  • Essential cookies — These are used to authenticate you, prevent fraud and provide you with the services that you have requested.
  • Functional cookies — These are used to remember you and recall your settings or preferences (such as language) when you return to our website.These cookies are not used to track you when you visit other websites.
  • Performance cookies — These are used to measure the performance of our website and online services. We use the information gathered from these cookies to improve our sites, as well as the products and services we offer.

Cookies used by LifeEDIT may be session-based or persistent. Session-based cookies last only for the duration of a user’s session, while a persistent cookie remains on the user’s hard drive. A persistent cookie can help us recognize you when you return to our website and recall your settings or preferences.

If you do not want a cookie placed on your computer as a result of using a LifeEDIT website, you can disable cookies altogether by modifying the preferences section of your web browser. Note that if you do so, some aspects of LifeEDIT websites may be unavailable to you. If you choose to accept cookies on your hard drive, but wish to be informed of their appearance, you may turn on a warning prompt by modifying the cookie-warning section also located in the preferences section of your web browser. For additional privacy protection, you may also use your web browser’s “do not track” (DNT) settings, which LifeEDIT will adhere to.

Depending on your cookie consent selection of settings upon first visiting the LifeEDIT website, tracking cookies, third-party cookies and other technologies such as web beacons may be used to process additional information, enable noncore functionalities on the LifeEDIT website and enable referenced third-party functions (such as a social media “share” link).

‍Web Beacons/Pixels

LifeEDIT’s websites may use a technology known as “web beacons” — sometimes called “single-pixel GIFs,” or “pixels” — that allow the sites to collect website log information. These are designed to track pages viewed or messages opened. Website log information is gathered during your visit. We may also include web beacons in promotional email messages to determine whether the messages have been opened.

‍Do Not Track (DNT)

Our web servers honor the DNT setting in all web browsers that currently support it. This means that you can opt out of our and third-party tracking services, including behavior advertising. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” please visit https://www.allaboutdnt.com

‍External Links Disclaimer

Some of LifeEDIT’s websites link to other sites created and maintained by other public- and/or private-sector organizations. LifeEDIT provides these links solely for your information and convenience. When you transfer to an outside website, you are leaving the LifeEDIT domain, and LifeEDIT’s information management policies no longer apply. LifeEDIT encourages you to read the privacy statement of each external website that you visit before you provide any personal data.

Security

LifeEDIT implements commercially reasonable technical and organizational security controls to protect your personal data against theft, loss or misuse. Your data will be stored in a secure operating environment that is not accessible without authorization. LifeEDIT applies mitigation measures following periodic risk assessments to ensure an adequate level of protection of your personal data.

Please note for business continuity and disaster recovery purposes, LifeEDIT may store data in a location outside the jurisdiction(s) in which we normally operate. In such scenarios, we will implement all commercially reasonable measures to protect your personal data against theft, loss or misuse.

‍LifeEDIT has put in place appropriate physical, technical and administrative procedures to safeguard and secure the information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. LifeEDIT cannot guarantee the security of information on or transmitted via the internet.

‍Collaboration with Authorities

The privacy officer will also monitor regulatory changes and consult the regulatory authority where implementation of a regulatory or technological change lead to doubt.
