隱私權政策

本隱私權政策旨在說明當用戶將個人資料提交至亞培管理的、含有本隱私權政策連結的網站（統稱“亞培網站”）時，亞培公司（包括其子公司（統稱“亞培”））將如何進行處理。除非明確載明，本隱私權政策不適用於下列情況：離線時收集的個人資料，未連結本隱私權政策的亞培網站，美國居民，或者亞培網站可能連結的第三方網站。使用亞培網站須遵守本隱私權政策和線上使用條款。

請於使用亞培網站或向我們提交個人資料之前詳閱本隱私權政策。

本隱私權政策中所指“個人資料”為何？

“個人資料”是指可辨識、或可用於辨識您的身份，並被提交至亞培網站和（或）由亞培網站收集的資料。個人姓名、郵遞地址、電子郵件位址及電話號碼都屬於個人資料的範例。

亞培如何線上收集資料？

亞培透過兩種方式收集資料：
您主動提交的個人資料：
亞培會收集您在亞培網站的資料欄位中輸入的個人資料。例如，您可能會提交姓名、郵遞住址、電子郵件位址和（或）其他資訊，以便接收各種主題的資料、登錄參與亞培設計的方案、聯繫亞培客服，或者回覆亞培的問卷調查。為了保護個人隱私，您不應提供除亞培特別要求之外的任何其他資訊。

被動收集無法用於辨識的資料：
在您非主動提供時，亞培網站可能會收集有關您瀏覽亞培網站的資訊。無法用於辨識的資訊可透過多種技術收集，例如 cookie 和 Web beacon。Cookie 是透過網站傳輸到您的電腦硬碟上的小型文字檔案。Web beacon（又稱為 GIF 檔、圖元或 Internet 標記）幫助亞培辨識您的瀏覽器中獨特的 cookie。您的 Internet 瀏覽器會自動將這些無法用於辨識的資料（例如先前瀏覽過的網站 URL以及你的電腦所趨動的瀏覽器版本）傳送給亞培網站。藉由被動資訊收集技術，亞培可以收集消費者喜好、編輯統計資料並分析趨勢，以提供更好的服務、打造貼近用戶的網站，及或者進行管理和改善，以使得您更加便利地使用亞培網站。在無被動資訊收集技術的協助下，可能造成亞培網站的某些功能癱瘓。除非輔以其他身份識別資料，否則以這些技術收集的資料無法對您進行辨識，並且亞培不會將其他可用於辨識的資料連結這種透過追蹤技術收集的資訊。有關限制或禁用追蹤技術，請參閱下文“對於亞培如何收集和使用我的個人資料，我有什麼選擇？”。

亞培會在什麼情況下以及基於何種目的收集個人資料？

亞培將使用您透過亞培網站提供的個人資料來回答您的提問並且為您提供即時的客戶服務。當您在亞培網站的表格或資料欄位中輸入個人資料後，亞培可能使用特定的辨識技術使網站“記住”您的喜好，例如您經常瀏覽亞培網站的哪些部分，以及您的使用者 ID（如果您選擇此項）。我們僅將您的個人資料用於其他商業目的，例如提供您獲得亞培產品資訊或服務的通知、邀請您參加產品問卷調查，或者在您事先告知意向後，我們還可提供特別促銷活動的訊息。

亞培會整合個人資料嗎？

亞培會整合使用亞培網站的客戶個人資料。此外，我們會以一種無法辨識的形式（總合/匿名資料）來整合資料，以幫助我們妥善地設計亞培網站以及亞培產品，改善研究活動，並為其他業務功能提供便利。

對於亞培如何收集和使用我的個人資料，我有什麼選擇？

您可以選擇不在亞培網站表格及資料欄位中輸入任何個人資料，從而始終限制亞培對您個人資料的收集數量和類型。我們部份線上服務僅限於您提供了適切的個人資料後方可使用。亞培網站的其他部分會詢問您是否希望加入我們的聯絡清單，以便接收您可能感興趣的通知、促銷和其他服務資訊。
我們也為您提供了喜好問答和喜好勾選，您可以表明在往後瀏覽網站時不希望亞培網站使用追蹤技術（例如 cookie）來“記住”您的個人資料（例如，使用者 ID 或郵寄地址）。但是，在採用追蹤技術收集無法辨識資料的亞培網站中，並不都可以選擇禁用追蹤技術。一些 Internet 瀏覽器允許您限制或禁用收集無法辨識資料的追蹤技術。

誰有權限可以使用我的個人資料？

有權限使用個人資料者包括：有限制數量的亞培員工，參與亞培主導的合作計畫的特定公司，以及與亞培簽約、為亞培執行業務活動的第三方。我們教育公司員工隱私的重要以及如何妥善及安全地處理和管理客戶資料。而且，按亞培慣例，且在適用的法律要求之下，當您報名一項亞培與其他公司共同合作的計畫而對方公司可能會要求使用您的個人資料時，我們會要求徵詢您的同意。除此之外，依據慣例，亞培會要求其承包商對您的個人資料保密，並且只將資料用於為亞培行使職責。

亞培與第三方分享個人資料嗎？

除在此項中另有說明外，亞培不會將您的個人資料轉交第三方，除非您已獲受提供可以透露的機會。亞培可能在您尚未向協助亞培執行商業活動的第三方服務供應商提出選擇情況下透露您的個人資料。依據慣例，亞培會要求第三方服務供應商對您的個人資料保密，並且只將資料用於為亞培行使職責，同時遵守亞培的規定。此外，亞培保留為回應政府單位要求、或在法律要求下透露您個人資料的權利。如果亞培出售某個產品線或事業單位，亞培將根據適用法律的要求，在徵得您的同意後再向買方轉讓您的個人資料，以便買方繼續為您提供資訊和服務。

亞培如何確保個人資料的安全？

亞培依據慣例會確保所有收集個人資料的亞培網站的安全性，但無法保證透過 Internet 傳輸資訊時的保密性。我們強烈要求您在透過 Internet 傳輸個人資料時保持高度警戒。亞培不能確保未經授權的第三方不會取得您的個人資料；因此，請您在向亞培網站提交個人資料時，務必權衡利弊和風險。此外，當您從受此隱私權政策管轄的亞培網站連結到非亞培管理的網站時，亞培網站會顯示警訊網頁；您應當先查閱此類第三方網站的隱私權政策，然後再提交個人資料。

亞培如何保護兒童的隱私？

亞培不會在亞培網站上有意收集或使用兒童的任何個人資料（我們將“兒童”定義為 20歲以下的未成年人）。我們不會有意允許兒童訂購我們的產品、與我們聯繫或使用我們任何線上服務。如果您身為家長，並且意識到您的孩子向我們提供了資料，請選用下列指定方式之一與我們聯繫，我們將配合您解決此問題。

我應該如何更正個人資料，或從目前的客戶記錄中將其刪除？

在您的支持下，亞培將維持個人資料準確並及時。您可以要求刪除、修改或更正您的個人資料。請依下列任一指定方式與我們聯繫，告知您的意願。

亞培會將個人資料保存多久？

一般來說，亞培僅保留個人資料至履行收集目的所需的期限，同時將遵守適用法律規定的資料保留期限。

我如何聯繫亞培？

如果您對所提供個人資料的目的、使用、修改或刪除有任何疑問，或希望以後不再接受亞培業務或特定方案的信函，請點選您所瀏覽亞培網站上的“連絡我們”連結。

請您在所有與亞培的聯繫中，提供用於註冊的電子郵件位址（如果適用）、您提供個人資料且存有疑慮的亞培網站網址（例如 Abbott.com 等等）並且詳細解釋您的請求。如果您希望刪除、修改或更正您的個人資料，並且以電子郵件聯繫我們，請在電子郵件的主題行中加入“刪除請求”或“修改/更正請求”等字樣（如適用）。我們將盡可能及時答覆所有合理的請求。

我如何才能知道亞培更新了隱私權政策？

如果亞培變更隱私權作法，我們將在更新版本的隱私權政策中載明這些變更，並在隱私權政策全文上方更新生效日期以作為通知。在遵守適用法律且不損害您的權利的前提下，亞培保留隨時變更隱私權政策的權利，以反應科技進步、法律法規的變動以及優良商業實踐。

ONLINE PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy explains how Abbott Laboratories including its subsidiaries and affiliates, (together referred to as “Abbott”) handles the personal information that you provide to us on web sites controlled by Abbott which link to this Privacy Policy (together referred to as "Abbott Web Site(s)"). Unless otherwise specifically noted, this Privacy Policy does not apply to personal information collected from you offline, to Abbott web sites that do not link to this Privacy Policy, to residents of the United States, or to third-party web sites to which Abbott Web Sites may link. Your use of Abbott Web Sites is subject to this Privacy Policy and the Online Terms of Use.

Please read this Privacy Policy before using Abbott Web Sites or submitting personal information to us.

What is "personal information" as used in this Privacy Policy?

"Personal information" means information that identifies you or could be used to identify you and which is submitted to and/or collected by Abbott Web Sites. Examples of personal information include your name, your postal address, your e-mail address and your telephone number.

How does Abbott collect information online?

Abbott collects information in two ways:
•Personal Information You Submit:
Abbott collects personal information that you enter into data fields on Abbott Web Sites. For example, you may submit your name, postal address, e-mail address, and/or other information in order to receive information about various subjects, register for Abbott programs, contact Abbott customer service, or respond to Abbott surveys. To protect your privacy, you should not provide Abbott with any information that is not specifically requested.
•Passive Collection of Unidentifiable Information:
Abbott Web Sites may collect information about your visits to Abbott Web Sites without you actively submitting such information. Unidentifiable information may be collected using various technologies, such as cookies, and web beacons. Cookies are small text files that are transferred to your computer’s hard disk by a website. Web beacons (also referred to as GIF files, pixels or Internet tags) help Abbott recognize a unique cookie on your browser. Your Internet browser automatically transmits to Abbott Web Sites some of this unidentifiable information, such as the URL of the web site you just visited and the browser version your computer is operating. Passive information collection technologies can make your use of Abbott Web Sites easier by allowing Abbott to provide better service, customize Abbott Web Sites based on consumer preferences, compile statistics, analyze trends, and otherwise administer and improve Abbott Web Sites. Certain features of Abbott Web Sites may not work without use of passive information collection technologies. Information collected by these technologies cannot be used to identify you without additional identifiable information and Abbott will not connect additional identifiable information with information collected through the use of such tracking technologies. With respect to limiting or disabling tracking technology please see below “What choices do I have about how Abbott collects and uses personal information about me?”.

In what circumstances and for what purposes might Abbott collect and use personal information?

Abbott will use the personal information you provide through Abbott Web Sites to respond to your questions and to provide you with efficient customer service. After you have entered personal information into a form or data field on an Abbott Web Site, Abbott may use certain identifying technologies to allow that Abbott Web Site to "remember" your personal preferences, such as sections of that Abbott Web Site that you visit frequently and, if you choose, your user ID. We will only use your personal information for other business purposes, such as to offer you the opportunity to receive notices regarding Abbott’s products or services, to invite you to participate in surveys about our products, or to notify you about special promotions if you provided us with your prior opt-in for such purposes.

Does Abbott consolidate personal information?

Abbott may consolidate the personal information of customers who use Abbott Web Sites. In addition, we may consolidate information in a non-identifiable form (aggregate/anonymous data) to help us better design Abbott Web Sites and Abbott products, to enhance our research activities, and to facilitate other business functions.

What choices do I have about how Abbott collects and uses personal information about me?

You may always limit the amount and type of personal information that Abbott receives about you by choosing not to enter any personal information into forms or data fields on Abbott Web Sites. Some of our online services can only be provided to you if you provide us with appropriate personal information. Other parts of Abbott Web Sites may ask whether you wish to opt into our contact lists for offers, promotions and additional services that may be of interest to you.

You may also be provided with preference questions or preference boxes allowing you to indicate that you do not want Abbott Web Sites to use tracking technologies, such as cookies, to "remember" your personal information, such as user IDs or mailing addresses, on return visits. However, Abbott Web Sites that use tracking technologies to collect unidentifiable information do not generally provide you with the ability to opt out of the tracking technologies. Some Internet browsers allow you to limit or disable the use of tracking technologies that collect unidentifiable information.

Who will have access to personal information about me?

Personal information can be accessed by a restricted number of Abbott employees, by certain companies with which Abbott may conduct joint programs, and by third parties with whom Abbott contracts to carry out business activities for Abbott. We train our employees about the importance of privacy and how to handle and manage customer data appropriately and securely. Also, it is Abbott’s practice to seek your consent where required by applicable law if you are registering for a program which is conducted in conjunction with another company that may require access to your personal information. In addition, Abbott’s practice is to require its contractors to keep your personal information confidential and to use your personal information only to perform functions for Abbott.

Does Abbott share personal information with third parties?

Except as otherwise stated in this Section, Abbott will not transfer your personal information to third parties unless you have been provided with an opportunity to opt into this disclosure. Abbott may disclose your personal information without your opt-in to third party service providers which assist us with our business activities. It is Abbott’s practice to require such third party service providers to keep your personal information confidential and to use your personal information only to perform functions for Abbott and in accordance with Abbott’s instructions. Abbott further reserves the right to disclose your personal information to respond to authorized information requests from government authorities or when otherwise required by law. In the event Abbott sells one of its product lines or divisions, Abbott will only transfer your personal information to the buyer subject to your consent where required by applicable law so that the buyer can continue to provide you with information and services.

How does Abbott secure personal information?

It is Abbott’s practice to secure each Abbott Web Site that collects personal information; however, the confidentiality of personal information transmitted over the Internet cannot be guaranteed. We urge you to exercise caution when transmitting personal information over the Internet. Abbott cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will not gain access to your personal information; therefore, when submitting personal information to Abbott Web Sites, you must weigh both the benefits and the risks. In addition, Abbott Web Sites covered by this Privacy Policy will display a warning whenever you link to a web site that is not controlled by Abbott; you should check the privacy policies of such third-party web sites before submitting personal information.

How does Abbott protect the privacy of children?

Abbott does not knowingly collect or use any personal information from children (we define "children" as minors younger than 20) on Abbott Web Sites. We do not knowingly allow children to order our products, communicate with us, or use any of our online services. If you are a parent and become aware that your child has provided us with information, please contact us using one of the methods specified below, and we will work with you to address this issue.

How may I correct personal information or delete it from current customer records?

With your support Abbott will keep personal information accurate and up-to-date. You may request to remove, amend or correct your personal information. Please notify us of your wishes by contacting us in one of the ways specified below.

How long will Abbott store personal information?

In general, Abbott will only store your personal information for as long as it is needed to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, subject to applicable data retention periods imposed upon Abbott by applicable law.

How can I contact Abbott?

If you have questions about the scope, use, amendment, or deletion of personal information that you have provided to us, or if you would like to opt out of future communications from an Abbott business or a particular Abbott program, please contact us by clicking on the "Contact Us" link on the Abbott Web Site you are visiting.

In all communications to Abbott, please include the e-mail address used for registration (if applicable), the Abbott Web Site address on which you provided any personal information about which you have questions or concerns (e.g. Abbott.com etc.), and a detailed explanation of your request.

How will I know whether Abbott has updated this Privacy Policy?

If Abbott changes its privacy practices, an updated version of this Privacy Policy will reflect those changes and we will notify you of such changes by updating the effective date at the top of this Privacy Policy. Without prejudice to your rights under applicable law, Abbott reserves the right to amend this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect technological advancements, legal and regulatory changes and good business practices.
