Compugen - Privacy Statement
Privacy Statement
This privacy statement is based on
Compugen’s Privacy Policy,
a full copy of which is available in PDF format by clicking
here. The privacy
policy is modeled on the
Canadian
Standards Association Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information.
It enables compliance with Canadian federal legislation found in
Personal
Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and in related
provincial statutes.
Compugen respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it. Compugen
provides this Privacy Statement to inform you of our privacy practices relating
to this Web site and of the choices you can make about the way your information
is collected online and how that information is used. We've structured our
Web site so that you can visit Compugen on the Web without identifying yourself
or revealing any personal information unless you explicitly choose to do so.
Personal information includes details such as your name, phone number, street
or e-mail address, credit card numbers and identity of any other web sites
you have visited.
What We Use Your Information For
Compugen will only ask for information about you that we need and will only
ask for it when we need it. When we ask you for the information, we will explain
to you why we need it and what we are going to do with it.
We will seek your prior consent to the collection, use and disclosure of
the information as required by applicable privacy legislation. Subject to
legal and contractual requirements, you can refuse to consent to our collection,
use or disclosure of information about you. You may also withdraw your consent
to any further collection, use or disclosure of information about you at any
time by giving us reasonable notice.
Compugen gives you the choice of receiving certain product- and service-specific
information or submitting your comments and suggestions about aspects of Compugen
and this Web site. Compugen will not use your personal information for a purpose
other than the one stated when you provided it.
Subscription Services
To opt-out of receiving communications you have expressly requested, such
as Compugen’s Tuesday Technology Report e-mail newsletters, return to
the Web page where you originally registered for the service and follow the
unsubscribe instructions, or send an e-mail message to marketing@compugen.com.
Cookies & Web Beacons
Compugen does not use cookies or Web beacons on this Web site. However, at
some future time we may employ the use of Web beacons to help us provide visitors
a personalized experience that may require some form of tracking mechanism.
We will amend this privacy statement accordingly at that time.
Accuracy
Compugen will take reasonable measures to ensure that any information we collect
from you is accurate, complete and up to date.
Access
You may contact us to determine what if any of your personal information we
may have collected and stored in order for you to determine whether it is
up to date and accurate, or to request that it be purged from our records.
We will take steps to verify your identity before providing any records for
review.
Security
Compugen is committed to protecting your privacy. Security measures, such
as locked cabinets, restricted access, data backup and recovery procedures,
and the use of passwords have been adopted to protect your personal information
against loss, corruption or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure,
copying, use, or modification. Our employees have been trained to respect
your privacy at all times and those employees with access to your personal
information shall use your personal information strictly in accordance with
the Compugen Privacy Policy and the laws applicable in each case.
Links to Non-Compugen Web Sites
The Compugen Web Site may provide links to third-party Web sites for your
convenience and information. If you access those links, you will leave the
Compugen Web site. Compugen does not control those sites or their privacy
practices, which may differ from Compugen’s. We do not endorse or make
any representations about third-party Web sites.
Use of Personal Information Collected by a Third Party
Compugen will only accept personal information from a third party certifying
in writing that all personal information provided was collected and is being
shared with the consent of the individuals involved. Compugen will also take
reasonable steps to ensure that the privacy policies and practices of the
third party are comparable to its own.
