1. How We Collect Information

If you request information through our Site, we will collect certain personally identifiable information that you share with us (the phrases “personally identifiable information” means any information by which you can be identified, such as your name, address, telephone number, etc.). The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to inform you what personally identifiable information we may collect from you when you visit our Site, and how we use such information, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to review and correct, the information.

In general, you can visit many of our Web pages without telling us who you are or revealing any personally identifiable information. We may track the Internet domain address from which people visit us and analyze this data for trends and statistics, but individual users will remain anonymous, unless you voluntarily tell us who you are.

This Privacy Policy applies only to personally identifiable information that we collect at our Site and via the electronic communications technologies that we use. If you choose to provide us with information about yourself, such as your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, etc., through this Site, we will collect, use, share and protect that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.. Whether or not to provide such information is completely your own choice; MAP Pharmaceuticals collects only the personal information that you provide to us. But if you choose not to provide the information we request, you may be unable to access certain services, offers, and content on our Site.

2. How We Use Information We Collect

We use the information, which is automatically received from your Web browser to see which pages you visit within our Site. Such information is used to develop statistics that are helpful to understanding how this Site is used by our visitors. This statistical data is interpreted by MAP Pharmaceuticals in its continuing effort to present Site content that visitors are seeking in a format they find most helpful. When MAP Pharmaceuticals receives personally identifiable information, we may use it for reasonable business purposes, such as contacting you, via e-mail or regular mail, to provide you with information we believe may be of interest. To better understand and address your interests, and to keep the personal information we have about you accurate, we may correct or add to the personal information you provide to us at our Websites with personal information we receive from you offline or from other sources. If you e-mail us, you are voluntarily releasing information to us. Your e-mail address will be used by MAP Pharmaceuticals to respond to you. Please note this Privacy Policy only applies to personal information we collect at our Site. This Privacy Policy does not apply to personal information collected through other means, including personal information you provide in e-mail messages you send to us or personal information we may collect from you offline.

If Social Security numbers are disclosed as part of the employment process, MAP Pharmaceuticals has a specific policy that provides for the proper use and protection of Social Security numbers obtained in the course of doing business by MAP Pharmaceuticals. Such policy protects the confidentiality of Social Security numbers, prohibits unlawful disclosure of Social Security numbers, and limits access to Social Security numbers. This policy applies to all methods of collection of Social Security numbers, including Social Security numbers obtained by oral, written and electronic means.

3. Third-Party Use of Information

MAP Pharmaceuticals will not sell, share, or otherwise distribute your personally identifiable information to third parties except as provided herein and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

MAP Pharmaceuticals does not share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes; so there is no such sharing to opt-out of. Nor does MAP Pharmaceuticals rent or sell any personal information you submit.

Personally identifiable information may occasionally be transferred to service provider third parties who act for or on behalf of MAP Pharmaceuticals, or in connection with the business of MAP Pharmaceuticals, for further processing in accordance with the purposes for which the data was originally collected. We require that such third parties protect the information and, where appropriate, we will contractually require them to process data transferred only for the purposes expressly authorized by MAP Pharmaceuticals.

We may also share your personal information with third parties under the following circumstances:

  • if you request or authorize such a disclosure;
  • in connection with the sale, assignment, license or other transfer of our company or our parent company, subsidiaries, affiliates, product-related co-promotion partners or products;
  • to protect our rights, property or safety, or the rights, property or safety of our employees or others;
  • to enforce an agreement we have with you;
  • to comply with the terms of an agreement with a product-related co-promotion partner;
  • to respond to appropriate requests of legitimate government agencies or where required by applicable laws, court orders or government regulations; or
  • where needed for corporate audits or to investigate or respond to a complaint or security threat.

As a company with global operations, MAP Pharmaceuticals may share your personal information with parties described in this section who are (1) located in other countries, and (2) subject to other applicable laws, rules and regulations relating to your personal information, that do not offer the same protections as the country in which your personal information was collected. In particular, your personal information may be processed in the United States and subject to applicable US laws, rules and regulations.

In case of a security breach or pursuant to a legal matter that requires cooperation with authorities, your identity and the information you provide may be used for investigation purposes. MAP Pharmaceuticals may also remove all the personally identifiable information and use the rest for historical, statistical, or scientific purposes.

4. Cookies and Other Website Information

To enable MAP Pharmaceuticals to provide customized and personalized services, MAP Pharmaceuticals may use cookies, web beacon technology and web server logs to collect information about how our Site is being used. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer.

However, if you choose to furnish the Site with personally identifiable information (such as your e-mail address), that information could be linked to the data stored in the cookie.

Web beacons are transparent pixel images that are used in collecting information about Site visitor activities and e-mail response and tracking. For example, if we send you an e-mail message, we (or third parties providing services on our behalf) may collect information through web beacons to determine whether you have opened the e-mail message or clicked on links located within the e-mail message.

MAP Pharmaceuticals reserves the right to change our use of cookies, web beacons and web server logs and our practices regarding linkage to personally identifiable information without any prior notification.
