Privacy Commitment
Covance respects the privacy of visitors to its websites, as a result, we have developed this website privacy policy to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. This website privacy policy applies only to the operation of websites that directly link to this policy when you click on "privacy statement" in the website footer.
Your Information
Through this website Covance will collect information that can identify you, such as your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, and other similar information ("Your Information") when it is voluntarily submitted to us (however, see discussion below about "IP Addresses" if you have a broadband connection). We will use Your Information to respond to requests you may make of us, and from time to time, we may refer to Your Information to better understand your needs and how we can improve our websites, products and services. We may also use Your Information to contact you and/or provide you with general health information (like information on certain health conditions) as well as information about our products and services. We may also enhance or merge Your Information with data obtained from third parties for the same purposes.
Any other information transferred by you in connection with your visit to this site ("Other Information" — that is, information that cannot be used to identify you) may be included in databases owned and maintained by Covance or its agents. Covance retains all rights to these databases and the information contained in them. Other Information we collect may include your IP Address and other information gathered through our weblogs and cookies (see below).
This site may collect web log information. Web log information is gathered when you visit one of our websites by the computer that hosts our website (called a "webserver"). The webserver automatically recognizes some non-personal information, such as the date and time you visited our site, the pages you visited, the website you came from, the type of browser you are using (e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape), the type of operating system you are using (e.g., Windows XP), and the domain name and address of your Internet service provider (e.g., MSN).
Cookies
This website may use a technology called a "cookie". A cookie is a piece of information that our web server sends to your computer (actually to your browser file) when you access a website. Then when you come back our site will detect whether you have one of our cookies on your computer. Our cookies help provide additional functionality to the site and help us analyze site usage more accurately. For instance, our site may set a cookie on your browser that keeps you from needing to remember and then enter a password more than once during a visit to the site.
This website uses Internet Protocol (IP) Addresses. An IP Address is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider so you can access the Internet. Generally, an IP address changes each time you connect to the Internet (it is a "dynamic" address). Note, however, that if you have a broadband connection, depending on your individual circumstance, it is possible that your IP Address that we collect, or even perhaps a cookie we use, may contain information that could be deemed identifiable. This is because with some broadband connections your IP Address doesn't change (it is "static") and could be associated with your personal computer. We use your IP address to report aggregate information on use and to help improve the website.
Children's Privacy
You should be aware that this site is not intended for, or designed to attract, individuals under the age of 18. We do not collect personally identifiable information from any person we actually know is an individual under the age of 18.
How We Use Your Information
We may share Your Information with agents, contractors or partners of Covance in connection with services that these individuals or entities perform for, or with, Covance. These agents, contractors or partners are restricted from using this data in any way other than to provide services for Covance, or services for the collaboration in which they and Covance are engaged. We may, for example, provide your information to agents, contractors or partners for hosting our databases, for data processing services, or so that they can mail you information that you requested.
Covance reserves the right to share Your Information to respond to duly authorized information requests of governmental authorities or where required by law. We may also provide Your Information to a third party in connection with the sale, assignment, or other transfer of the business of this website to which the information relates, in which case we will require any such buyer to agree to treat Your Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
