Privacy Policy
In this Privacy Policy (the “Policy“), we, Eisai (Hong Kong) Co.,
Ltd (“Eisai Hong Kong,“) describe our practices regarding
Personally Identifiable Information (as defined below) that we collect through this website (the “Site“)
and other online resources. Please be sure to read this entire Privacy Policy before using or submitting any
Personally Identifiable Information through the Site. By using the Site, you agree to the terms and conditions of
this Policy, including all its terms with respect to the collection, use, disclosure, and retention of Personally
Identifiable Information.
This site is intended for use by Hong Kong Healthcare Professionals only.
We reserve the right to change this Policy without prior notice. You can determine when this Policy was last revised
by referring to the “Last Updated“ legend at the top of this page. Any changes to our Policy will become
effective upon our posting of the revised Policy on the Site. Use of the Site following such changes constitutes
your acceptance of the revised Policy then in effect.
What Types of Information Does Eisai Hong Kong Collect?
Eisai Hong Kong gathers three basic types of information: “Personally Identifiable Information“ (or “PII“), “Non-Personally Identifiable
Information“ (or “Non-PII“) and “IP Addresses“. Personally Identifiable Information is information that
identifies you as an individual, such as your name, postal address, telephone number, email address, financial
account number, etc.. Non-Personally Identifiable Information is aggregated information, demographic information
and any other information that does not reveal your specific identity. An IP Address is the Internet Protocol
address of the computer that you use to access the Site.
Eisai Hong Kong are legally required to comply with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) of the Laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region when collecting, holding, using and/or processing your Personal Data.
• Personally Identifiable Information. You may explore the Site without providing us with PII, but in order for you to use and benefit from certain features of the Site (such as to request information or to contact us or surveys or research through the Site), we will need to collect certain of your PII. All PII collected by Eisai Hong Kong on this website shall be treated in accordance with this Policy. You agree Eisai Hong Kong may collect PII and store information from you that you voluntarily give to Eisai Hong Kong on the Site. In these instances, you agree and are required to enter true and accurate information. Eisai Hong Kong will inform you the PII information to be collected, the purposes of collecting the PII and the way the collected PII will be used. Eisai Hong Kong shall obtain your consent before collecting the information from you. Your PII will be kept confidential. We will collect, use, store and process the PII in or outside the territory of Hong Kong.
• Non-Personally Identifiable Information. We may collect Non-PII that you submit or that we receive (such as aggregated demographic information, including age or gender, and information on your interests and professional activities) from our customers and from third parties. Eisai Hong Kong and third parties with whom Eisai Hong Kong has contracted to provide services to Eisai Hong Kong also may collect Non-PII from you through browser navigational tools; cookies; pixel tags and other similar technologies.
-
Browser Navigational Tools. We and our service providers may obtain certain technology data, such as your computer type (Windows or Macintosh), screen resolution, Operating System (“OS“) version, Internet browser, and Internet browser version. This type of Non-PII is collected by most browsers, and can be used to optimize your experience on the Site.
-
Cookies. We and our service providers may use “cookies“ on the Site. A cookie is a bit of information that a Website sends to your Web browser that helps the site remember information about you and your preferences. There are two principle types of cookies:
-
“Session“ cookies are temporary bits of information that are used to improve Website navigation, block Website visitors from providing information where inappropriate and to collect aggregate statistical information on a Website. These cookies are erased once you exit your Web browser or otherwise turn off your computer.
-
“Persistent“ cookies are more permanent bits of information that are placed on the hard drive of your computer and stay there unless you delete the cookie. Persistent cookies store information on your computer so that we can, for example, retrieve information you have previously provided; better determine what areas of the Site you find most valuable; and customize the Site based on your preferences on an ongoing basis. You can set your browser to accept all cookies, to reject all cookies, or to notify you whenever a cookie is offered so that you can decide each time whether to accept it. To learn more about cookies, please visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org/ .
If you use or continue using the Site, we will assume that you agree us to set cookies.
-
-
Pixel Tags. We and our service providers may also use so-called “pixel tags,“ “web beacons,“ “clear GIFs“ or similar technologies (collectively, “Pixel Tags“) in connection with some Site pages and HTML-formatted email messages to, among other things: track the online activity of Site users and email recipients (including activity on other Websites); determine the success of marketing campaigns; and compile aggregate statistics about Site usage and response rates.
-
Other Sources. Eisai Hong Kong also may collect Non-PII (such as indications of your interests, your geographic location, and other demographic Non-PII) that you or others provide, and we also may aggregate PII in a manner such that the end-product does not personally identify you or any other individual and so is Non-PII. For example, we might aggregate PII to calculate the percentage of our users who have a particular telephone area code, or to better understand certain medical usage patterns. Such aggregate information is considered Non-PII for purposes of this Policy.
•
IP Addresses. Your IP Address is a
number that is automatically assigned to the computer that you are using by your Internet Service Provider
(“ISP”). This number is identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever users visit the
Site, along with the time(s) of such visit(s) and the page(s) that were visited. Collecting IP Addresses is
standard practice on the Internet and is done automatically by many Websites.
