In order to use certain functionalities of the Services, customers will have to create a customer account which requires customers to submit certain personal data.

5. VIEWING WEB PAGES

As with most websites, customer’s computer sends information which may include personal data about customers that gets logged by a web server when customers browse our Site. This typically includes without limitation customer’s computer’s IP address, operating system, browser name/version, the referring web page, requested page, date/time, and sometimes a “cookie” (which can be disabled using customer’s browser preferences) to help the site remember customer’s last visit. If customers are logged in, this information is associated with customer’s personal account. The information is also included in anonymous statistics to allow us to understand how visitors use our site.

We may from time to time implement “cookies” or other features to allow us or third parties to collect or share information that will help us improve our Site and the Services we offer, or help us offer new services and features. “Cookies” are identifiers we transfer to customer’s computer or mobile device that allow us to recognize customer’s computer or device and tell us how and when the Services or website are used or visited, by how many people and to track movements within our website. We may link cookie information to personal data. Cookies also link to information regarding what items customers have selected for purchase and pages customers have viewed. This information is used to keep track of customer’s shopping cart, for example. Cookies are also used to deliver content specific to customer’s interest and to monitor website usage.

11. PROTECTING AND RETAINING CUSTOMERS INFORMATION

We implement a variety of security measures and strive to ensure the security of customer’s personal data on our systems. Customer personal data is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of employees who have special access rights to such systems. However, there can inevitably be no guarantee of absolute security. 

We will retain personal data in accordance with the Privacy Laws and/or other applicable laws. That is, we will destroy or anonymize customer’s personal data as soon as it is reasonable to assume that (i) the purpose for which that personal data was collected is no longer being served by the retention of such personal data; and (ii) retention is no longer necessary for any legal or business purposes. If customers cease using the Site, or customer’s permission to use the Site and/or the Services is terminated or withdrawn, we may continue storing, using and/or disclosing customer’s personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy and our obligations under the Privacy Laws. Subject to applicable law, we may securely dispose of customer’s personal data without prior notice to customers.

12. DOES CHEMOPHARM DISCLOSE THE INFORMATION IT COLLECTS FROM ITS VISITORS TO OUTSIDE PARTIES?

In conducting our business, we will/may need to disclose customer’s personal data to our third party service providers, agents and/or our affiliates or related corporations, and/or other third parties for one or more of the above-stated Purposes. Such third party service providers, agents and/or affiliates or related corporations and/or other third parties would be processing customer’s personal data either on our behalf or otherwise, for one or more of the above-stated Purposes. Such third parties include, without limitation:

(a) our subsidiaries, affiliates and related corporations;

(b) contractors, agents, service providers and other third parties we use to support our business. These include but are not limited to those which provide administrative or other services to us such as mailing houses, telecommunication companies, information technology companies and data centres;

(c) a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution or other sale or transfer of some or all of Chemopharm’s assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation or similar proceeding, in which personal data held by Chemopharm about our Service Customers is among the assets transferred; or to a counterparty in a business asset transaction that Chemopharm or any of its affiliates or related corporations is involved in; and

(d) third parties to whom disclosure by us is for one or more of the Purposes and such third parties would in turn be collecting and processing customer’s personal data for one or more of the Purposes.

This may require, among other things, share statistical and demographic information about our Customers and their use of the Services with suppliers of advertisements and programming. 

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that Privacy Laws or other applicable laws permit an organisation such as us to collect, use or disclose customer’s personal data without customer’s consent, such permission granted by the laws shall continue to apply.

Third parties may unlawfully intercept or access personal data transmitted to or contained on the site, technologies may malfunction or not work as anticipated, or someone might access, abuse or misuse information through no fault of ours. We will nevertheless deploy reasonable security arrangements to protect customer’s personal data as required by the Privacy Laws; however there can inevitably be no guarantee of absolute security such as but not limited to when unauthorised disclosure arises from malicious and sophisticated hacking by malcontents through no fault of ours.

13. INFORMATION COLLECTED BY THIRD PARTIES

Our Site uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files placed on customer’s computer, to help the website analyse how Customers use the Site. The information generated by the cookie about customer’s use of the website (including customer’s IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating customer’s use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and Internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate customer’s IP address with any other data held by Google.

We, and third parties, may from time to time make software applications downloads available for customer’s use on or through the Services. These applications may separately access, and allow a third party to view, customer’s identifiable information, such as customer’s name, customer’s customer ID, customer’s computer’s IP Address or other information such as any cookies that customers may previously have installed or that were installed for customers by a third party software application or website. Additionally, these applications may ask customers to provide additional information directly to third parties. Third party products or services provided through these applications are not owned or controlled by Chemopharm. Customers are encouraged to read the terms and other policies published by such third parties on their websites or otherwise.

14. DISCLAIMER REGARDING SECURITY AND THIRD PARTY SITES

WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THE SECURITY OF PERSONAL DATA AND/OR OTHER INFORMATION THAT CUSTOMERS PROVIDE ON THIRD PARTY SITES. We do implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of customer’s personal data that is in our possession or under our control. Customer’s personal data is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the personal data confidential. When customers place orders or access customer’s personal data, we offer the use of a secure server. All personal data or sensitive information customers supply is encrypted into our databases to be only accessed as stated above.

In an attempt to provide customers with increased value, we may choose various third party websites to link to, and frame within, the Site. We may also participate in co-branding and other relationships to offer e-commerce and other services and features to our visitors. These linked sites have separate and independent privacy policies as well as security arrangements. Even if the third party is affiliated with us, we have no control over these linked sites, each of which has separate privacy and data collection practices independent of us. Data collected by our co-brand partners or third party web sites (even if offered on or through our Site) may not be received by us.

We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content, security arrangements (or lack thereof) and activities of these linked sites. These linked sites are only for customer’s convenience and customers therefore access them at customer’s own risk. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our Site and the links placed upon each of them and therefore welcome any feedback about these linked sites (including, without limitation, if a specific link does not work).

15. OVERSEAS TRANSFER OF CUSTOMER INFORMATION

Customer’s personal data and/or information may be transferred to, stored or processed outside of customer’s country. In most cases, customer’s personal data will be processed in Malaysia, where our servers are located. Chemopharm will only transfer customer’s information overseas in accordance with Privacy Laws.
