隱私權聲明
We take very seriously the privacy of our website users and the security of their personal information. For the purposes of
data protection law, Merck Serono S.A. is the company that controls the processing of your personal data.
The purpose of this privacy policy is to set out the principles governing our use of personal information that we may obtain
about you. By using this website, or (where applicable) by registering as a user of the services which we provide or by calling
our hotline, you agree to this use. We ask you to read this privacy policy carefully. Any dispute which may arise over privacy
will be subject to this policy, the data protection notice (if any) incorporated into this website and the provisions of Swiss
law.
We may change our privacy policy from time to time. We therefore ask you to check it occasionally to ensure that you are aware
of the most recent version which will apply each time you access this website.
WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT
1. Aggregate Information
We monitor the use of this website by collecting aggregate information. No personally identifiable data are collected in this process. Typically, we collect information about the number of visitors to the website, to each web page and the originating domain name of the visitor's Internet Service Provider. This information is used to understand the visitor's use of the website and may be shared with other companies within Merck Serono and with other third parties.

2. Personal Information
If you are required to register in order to use this website, to otherwise complete an online application form or to provide data when calling our hotline, then we will collect personally identifiable information about you, such as your name, e-mail address, country of residence and other information which you voluntarily submit.
If you are required to register in order to use this website, to otherwise complete an online application form or to provide data when calling our hotline, then we will collect personally identifiable information about you, such as your name, e-mail address, country of residence and other information which you voluntarily submit.
Occasionally we may obtain sensitive personal information about you, for example, information relating to your physical or
mental health or condition, but only if you voluntarily provide us with this information. We may also obtain information about your opinions if you, for example, send us feedback, or ask us questions.
We may also, occasionally, receive information about you from other sources that we will add to the information which we already
hold about you in order to help us improve and personalize our service to you.
HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION?
If we have collected any personal information about you (eg because you have registered as a user, or contacted us) then we
will hold and use such information in accordance with this privacy policy and any data protection notice which we gave to
you when you supplied us with your personal information.
Merck Serono, including the subsidiaries, divisions and groups worldwide and/or the companies we hire to perform services
on our behalf will use any personally identifiable information you choose to give us to comply with your requests. We will
retain control of and responsibility for the use of this information. Some of this data may be stored or processed at computers
located in other jurisdictions, such as the United States, whose data protection laws may differ from the jurisdiction in
which you live. In such cases, we will ensure that appropriate protections are in place to require the data processor in that
country to maintain protections on the data that are equivalent to those that apply in Switzerland.
The information will be helpful for us to better understand your needs and how we can improve our products and services. For
example, we may analyze the gender or age of visitors to sites about a particular medication or disease state, and we may
use that analysis of aggregate data internally or share it with others. It helps us also to personalize certain communications
with you about services and promotions that you might find interesting or to fulfill your requests and develop our business
relationship with you and the entities you represent.
DATA SHARING AND TRANSFER
Merck Serono shares personally identifiable data about you with various outside companies or agents doing technological maintenance
or working on our behalf to help fulfill business transactions, such as providing customer services, sending marketing communications
about our products, services and offers. We may also share personally identifiable data with our company's subsidiaries and
affiliates. All these companies and agents are required to comply with the terms of our privacy policies.
