PRIVACY NOTICE

This Privacy Notice describes the information collection, use, retention, and sharing practices of Thrombolex Inc., (“Thrombolex”, “we”, “us”, “our”) when you interact with us through our website, www.thrombolex.com (the “Website”), or other digital products on which this Privacy Notice appears (collectively, the “Services”). 

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT, WHY AND FOR HOW LONG 

We collect personal information, which is information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to you, when you: 

  • Contact us. When you contact us through the form on the Website, email us, or call us by telephone to submit questions regarding our endovascular catheter solutions, we collect, from you, your personal identifiers (first and last name, email address, and telephone number), your professional information (job title and medical specialty), and any additional information you wish to provide in the “Message” field.  We use this personal information to respond to your questions or inquiries, troubleshoot where necessary, and address any issues you have with the Services. 
  • Interact with us on social media. When you interact with our social networking websites, such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn (each a “Social Channel”) (collectively “Social Channels”), we collect basic engagement metrics and use them to tailor content and marketing and use it to improve user experience as set forth in this section. Please note that we do not control the use or storage of the information that you have posted to any social networking websites. This information is collected and processed by social networking websites for their own purposes, including marketing. For more information on how Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn use your personal information, please see Facebook’s Privacy Policy, Twitter’s Privacy Policy, and LinkedIn’s Privacy Policy.
  • Social Channels. When interacting with our Social Channels, we collect, from you, your personal identifiers (first and last name and profile picture) as well as any information that you provide when interacting with our Social Channels (e.g. commenting, sharing and rating). We use this information to advertise our products, for events and invitations, and to communicate with users via the contribution and comment function. 

Because our Social Channels are publicly accessible, when you use them to interact with other users, (for example by posting, leaving comments, or liking or sharing posts) any personal information that you post in them or provide when registering can be viewed by others or used by them as they see fit.

The content posted on our Social Channels or other public areas of social networking websites can be deleted in the same way as other content that you have created. If at any time you want content posted to be deleted, please email your request to info@thrombolex.com. 

  • Facebook Messenger. When using Facebook Messenger, Facebook collects automatically your internet or other electronic network activity information (IP address, date and time of the server request, time zone, specific browser or app function, access status, amount of data transferred, browser or app from which the Request comes, device type, operating system used, and its interface (e.g. Android or IOS), language, version of the operating system, and device identifiers). We do not use this information; its use is governed by Facebook’s Privacy Policy.  
  • Surveys. When you participate in a survey on our Social Channels, we collect from you your personal identifiers (email address), your internet or other electronic network activity information (device and browser data, IP address, location information based on the IP address), log data (IP address to determine whether a respondent has previously participated in a survey), and metadata (usage patterns)). We use this information to analyze and process the results of our surveys for market research purposes. 
  • Events and Photos. When you register for an event on our Social Channels, we collect, from you your personal identifiers (first and last name, email address, telephone number, physical address, and any other information you provide). We use this information to create and manage the event (e.g. to create the guest list, accreditation and admission control, room and personnel planning, planning the catering) as well as to send you your invitation and notifications about the event. We also use this information for the prevention of fraud and defense against legal claims. 

At events for which you have registered, photos and video recordings may be made (possibly by a photographer commissioned by us), in which you may also be shown. If you are the central subject of a recording, the photographer will ask you before the recording/taking the photo whether you agree and consent. 

We use the photos for our public relations and marketing on our various media/digital media outlets. 

  • Facebook Page Insights. When you visit our Facebook Page, Facebook records your IP address and other information about your usage behavior on our Facebook Page. Facebook collects, through trackers in the browser of your device or via the advertising ID (IDFA from Apple or GAID from Google), when you open the Facebook app through your mobile device (e.g. smartphone or tablet). Facebook uses this information to create statistical evaluations for the use of the Facebook Page. We receive this information, from Facebook, in the form of aggregated data and anonymous statistics regarding things like: age, gender, city/country, device, inquiries from fans about other Facebook pages, region and language settings of the users, the proportion of men and women, the number of people reached, clicks on posts, “Likes” and reactions, comments and shared content, and total video views.  We do not collect or process any other personal data in connection with the page insights.

We do not retain this information independently. For information on data protection and the storage period on Facebook in relation to the “Page Insights” function see here and Facebook’s Privacy Policy. It has been contractually agreed with Facebook that Facebook is responsible for providing you with information about the processing for Page Insights.

  • Information Processed Solely by Facebook. We do not know how Facebook uses personal information for its own purposes, how long the personal information is stored on Facebook, or whether Facebook data is passed on to third parties.

If you are currently logged in to Facebook as a user, Facebook automatically collects, through trackers on your device, your Facebook ID or a link between the Facebook ID and the advertising ID (IDFA from Apple or GAID from Google) when you open the Facebook app through your mobile device (e.g. smartphone or tablet). This enables Facebook to understand that you have visited our Facebook Page along with other Facebook pages that you have clicked on, whether you clicked on Facebook buttons integrated into websites that partner with Facebook, and other online interactions that report user data to Facebook. Based on this data, content or advertising tailored to you can be offered. 

You can find more information about the personal information collected by Facebook, how it is used, and how long it is stored by visiting Facebook’s Privacy Policy.
