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.
