Privacy Statement
Bayer is aware that the security of your private information from the use of our web-site is an important concern. We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. Therefore we would like you to know what data we maintain and what data we discard. With this privacy statement, we would like to inform you about our security measures.
Collection of Data
You can use our web site without disclosing your personal data. You are not
required to provide personal information as a condition of using our site, except
as may be necessary to provide you a product or service at your request. When
you use our web site, we store data on our servers for various security purposes.
This data may include the name of your internet service provider, the web site
that you used to link to our site, the web sites that you visit from our site
and your IP-Address. This data could possibly lead to your identification, but
we do not use it to do so. We do use the data from time to time for statistical
purposes, but maintain the anonymity of each individual user so that the person
cannot be identified. In cases when personal data is provided to others to provide
you products or services you have requested, or for other purposes you have
authorized, we rely on technical and organizational means to assure that applicable
data security regulations are followed.
Collection and processing of personal data
We collect personal data only when you provide it to us, through registration,
completion of forms or e-mails, as part of an order for products or services,
inquiries or requests about materials being ordered and similar situations in
which you have chosen to provide the information to us.
The database and its contents remain at our company and stay with data processors
or servers acting on our behalf and responsible to us. Your personal data will
not be passed on by us or by our agents for use by third parties in any form
whatsoever, unless we have obtained your consent or are legally required to
do so.
We will retain control of and responsibility for the use of any personal data you disclose to us. 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 the country in which you live.
Purposes of Use
The data we collect will only be used for the purpose of supplying you with
the requested products or services or for other purposes for which you have
given your consent, except where otherwise provided by law.
Right of Access and Correction
You have the right to review and amend any personal data stored in our system
if you believe it may be out of date or incorrect. Just send an e-mail to the
address given in the imprint or contact the Data Security Officer at the address
below.
Right of Cancellation
You have the right at any time to withdraw your consent to the use of your personal
data in the future. Again, just send an e-mail to the address given in the imprint
or contact the Data Security Officer at the address below.
Data Retention
We only retain personal data for as long as is necessary for us to render a
service you have requested or to which you have given your consent, except where
otherwise provided by law (e.g. in connection with pending litigation).
Use of Cookies
In some web sites, so-called Cookies are used in order for us to improve the
efficiency of your individual use of the web site. Cookies are identifiers that
our web-server could send to your computer in order to identify the computer
being used for the duration of the session. Most browsers are set-up to accept
these Cookies automatically. In addition, you can deactivate the storing of
cookies or adjust your browser to inform you before the Cookie is stored on
your computer. If cookies are going to be saved to your computer not only for
the duration of a session, with automatic subsequent deletion, but for the long
term, we will provide you notice of this fact when the relevant cookies are
set.
Security
Bayer uses technical and organizational security precautions to protect your
data from manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons.
Any personal data that is provided to Bayer by you will be encrypted in transit
to prevent its possible misuse by third parties. Our security procedures are
continuously revised based on new technological developments.
Children
In light of the importance of protecting children’s privacy, we do not
collect, process or use on our website any information relating to an individual
whom we know to be under 13 years old without the prior, verifiable consent
of his or her legal representative. Such legal representative has the right,
upon request, to view the information provided by the child and/or to require
that it be deleted.
Contacts
Please contact the Data Security Officer of Bayer AG with any problems, questions
or suggestions that you may have. The constant development of the internet requires
occasional adjustments to our privacy statement. We retain the right to make
changes when necessary.
