Welcome to www.cordiscarotid.com. This site is owned by
Cordis Corporation, a Johnson & Johnson company. This Privacy Policy is
designed to tell you about our practices regarding collection, use, and
disclosure of information and personal data that you may provide via this site.
Please be sure to read this entire Privacy Policy before using or submitting
information to this site. The terms "personal data", "data controller" and
"process/processing" hereinafter used shall have the same meaning as defined in
the European Directive 95/46/EC.
This site is owned by Cordis Corporation, a Johnson & Johnson company,
located at 14201 NW 60th Ave, Miami Lakes, FL 33014 - 2894, USA, which is
therefore the Data Controller of this site.
By using this site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. Whenever you
submit information via this site, you consent to the collection, use, and
disclosure of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
This site is not intended for children under the age of 13. We will not
knowingly collect personally identifiable information via this site from
visitors in this age group. We encourage parents to talk to their children
about their use of the Internet and the information they disclose to Web sites.
Some areas of this site may ask you to submit personally identifiable
information (i.e. personal data) in order for you to participate in a
particular activity (such as Regional Education Center professional education
programs, proctoring programs, and professional education programs in Center of
Excellence). You will be informed what information is required and what
information is optional.
The scores of the tests you will perform on this site will automatically be
stored in the memory system of this website. However, unless you are an
employee of Cordis or any affiliate of Johnson & Johnson, your test scores
will not be accessible to any third party except as strictly necessary for the
operation of this site or except with your express authorization. If you are an
employee of Cordis or any affiliate of Johnson & Johnson, your test scores
may, if in compliance with the applicable local laws, be reported to the
persons within your organization as required by our internal policy about
trainings.
As you navigate through this site, certain anonymous information can be
passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the
information) using various technologies, such as cookies, Internet tags or web
beacons, and navigational data collection (log files, server logs,
clickstream). Your Internet browser automatically transmits to this site some
of this anonymous information, such as the URL of the Web site you just came
from and the Internet Protocol (IP) address and the browser version your
computer is currently using. This site may also collect anonymous information
from your computer through cookies and Internet tags or web beacons. You may
set your browser to notify you when a cookie is sent or to refuse cookies
altogether, but certain features of this site might not work without cookies.
This site may use and combine such passively collected anonymous information to
provide better service to site visitors, customize the site based on your
preferences, compile and analyze statistics and trends, and otherwise
administer and improve the site for your use. Such information is not combined
with personally identifiable information collected elsewhere on the site unless
you have consented.
A "cookie" is a bit of information that a Web site sends to your Web browser
that helps the site remember information about you and your preferences.
"Session" cookies are temporary bits of information that are used to improve
navigation, block visitors from providing information where inappropriate (the
site "remembers" previous entries of age or country of origin that were outside
the specified parameters and blocks subsequent changes), and collect aggregate
statistical information on the site. They are erased once you exit your Web
browser or otherwise turn off your computer.
"Persistent" cookies are more permanent bits of information that are placed on
the hard drive of your computer and stay there unless you delete the cookie.
Persistent cookies store information on your computer for a number of purposes,
such as retrieving certain information you have previously provided (such as
passwords), helping to determine what areas of the Web site visitors find most
valuable, and customizing the Web site based on your preferences on an ongoing
basis. Persistent cookies placed by this site on your computer may hold
personally identifiable information, but only if you have registered or have
otherwise consented to the retention of personally identifiable information you
have provided at the site. Otherwise, our site's server only knows that an
unidentified visitor with your cookie has returned to the site. You can set
your browser to accept all cookies, to reject all cookies, or to notify you
whenever a cookie is offered so that you can decide each time whether to accept
it. To learn more about cookies and how to specify your preferences, please
search for "cookie" in the "Help" portion of your browser.
A site may use 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 and is generally considered to be non-personally identifiable
information, because in most cases an IP address is dynamic (changing each time
you connect to the Internet), rather than static (unique to a particular user's
computer). The IP address can be used to diagnose problems with a server,
report aggregate information, determine the fastest route for your computer to
use in connecting to a site, and administer and improve the site.
"Internet tags" (also known as single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs,
and 1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies and tell the Web site server
information such as the IP address and browser type related to the visitor's
computer. Tags may be placed both on online advertisements that bring people to
the site and on different pages of the site. Such tags indicate how many times
a page is opened and which information is consulted.
"Navigational data" (log files, server logs, and clickstream data) are used for
system management, to improve the content of the site, market research
purposes, and to communicate information to visitors.
Except as otherwise stated, we may use information collected via this site to
improve the content of our site, to customize the site to your preferences, to
communicate information to you (if you have requested it), for our marketing
and research purposes, and for any other purpose specified. In addition, we may
make full use of all information acquired through this site that is not in
personally identifiable form. If you provide personally identifiable
information (i.e. personal data) to this site, we may combine such information
with other actively collected information unless we specify otherwise at the
point of collection. We may disclose personally identifiable information(i.e.
personal data) you provide via this site to other Johnson & Johnson
affiliates worldwide that agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy
Policy and use it for the same purposes. We also may disclose personally
identifiable information you provide via this site to third parties that are
not Johnson & Johnson affiliates, but only:
(i) to contractors we use to support our business (such as fulfillment
services, technical support, delivery services, and financial institutions), in
which case we will require such third parties to agree to treat it in
accordance with this Privacy Policy and use it for the same purposes;
(ii) in connection with the sale, assignment, or other transfer of the business
of this site to which the information relates, in which case we will require
any such buyer to agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy and
use it for the same purposes; or
(iii) to respond to law enforcement requests or where required by applicable
laws, court orders, or government regulations.
The collection, use, and disclosure of information contemplated in this Privacy
Policy may involve a transfer of the information to jurisdictions located
outside your country of residence that may not have equivalent laws and rules
regarding personally identifiable information. In these cases, you will be
asked to consent to such transfers and disclosures in accordance with this
Privacy Policy.
To keep personally identifiable information that you provide via this site
accurate, current, and complete, please contact us as specified below and we
will take appropriate steps to update or correct such information in our
possession, or to delete your information from our contact list.
This site takes reasonable steps to protect personally identifiable information
as you transmit it to our site and to protect such information from loss,
misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. You
should keep in mind that no Internet transmission is ever completely secure or
error-free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from this site may not be secure.
This site may contain links or references to other Web sites to which this
Privacy Policy does not apply. We encourage you to read the Privacy Policy of
every Web site you visit.
If this Privacy Policy changes, the revised policy will be posted on this site.
Please check back periodically, and especially before you provide any
personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy was last updated on
December 17, 2007.
