Privacy Notice

Introduction

Eli Lilly and Company (NZ) Ltd ("ELNZ" "we" or "our") respects the privacy of visitors to its websites, as a result, we have developed this website privacy policy. This website privacy policy applies only to the operation of websites that directly link to this policy when you click on "privacy statement" in the website footer. It should be read in conjunction with the Terms of Website Use that govern the use of this website.

Collection and use of personal information?

Privacy Act 1993 - http://www.privacy.org.nz/privacy-act/

Under the Privacy Act 1993 we advise that:

Through this website ELNZ will collect information that can identify you, such as your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, and other similar information ("Your Information") when it is voluntarily submitted to us (however, see discussion below about "IP Addresses" if you have a broadband connection). We will use Your Information to respond to requests you may make of us and for any specific reason which we may notify you of at the time Your Information is collected; and from time to time, we may refer to Your Information to better understand your needs and how we can improve our websites, products and services. We may also enhance or merge Your Information with data obtained from third parties if necessary to fulfil the purpose for which the data was collected. We will only keep Your Information for as long as it is necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected, or to comply with our legal obligations.

We may share Your Information with agents, contractors or partners of ELNZ (who may be located outside New Zealand) in connection with services that these individuals or entities perform for, or with, ELNZ. These agents, contractors or partners are restricted from using this data in any way other than to provide services for ELNZ, or services for the collaboration in which they and ELNZ are engaged (for example, some of our products are developed and marketed through joint agreements with other companies). We may, for example, provide your information to agents, contractors or partners for hosting our databases, for data processing services, or so that they can mail you information that you requested. ELNZ will ensure that any organisation outside of ELNZ who receives personal information complies with applicable privacy law and protects that information to at least the same standard as ELNZ.

ELNZ reserves the right to provide your information to duly authorised governmental authorities, as required by law or in response to requests under the Official Information Act 1982.

Any other information transferred by you in connection with your visit to this site ("Other Information" - that is, information that cannot be used to identify you) may be included in databases owned and maintained by ELNZ or its agents. ELNZ retains all rights to these databases and the information contained in them. Other Information we collect may include your IP Address and other information gathered through our weblogs and cookies (see below).

You may seek access to personal information held about you by ELNZ in accordance with your rights under the Privacy Act. You have the right to ask to have information corrected or deleted. To protect your privacy, and that of others, we may ask you to verify your identity as part of fulfilling an access or correction request. Please direct your request in writing to the Privacy Officer at:

Please note that you may continue to receive materials while we are updating our lists.

We may also provide Your Information to a third party in connection with the sale, assignment, or other transfer of the business of this website to which the information relates, in which case we will require any such buyer to agree to treat Your Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

You should be aware that this site is not intended for, or designed to attract, individuals under the age of 18. We do not collect personally identifiable information from any person we actually know is an individual under the age of 18.

Collection and use of web log information

This site may use a technology known as web beacons - sometimes called single-pixel gifs - that allow this site to collect web log information. A web beacon is a graphic on a web page or in an e-mail message designed to track pages viewed or messages opened. Web log information is gathered when you visit one of our websites by the computer that hosts our website (called a "webserver"). The webserver automatically recognizes some non-personal information, such as the date and time you visited our site, the pages you visited, the website you came from, the type of browser you are using (e.g., Internet Explorer), the type of operating system you are using (e.g., Windows 2000), and the domain name and address of your Internet service provider (e.g., AOL). We may also include web beacons in promotional e-mail messages in order to determine whether messages have been opened.

This website may use a technology called a "cookie". A cookie is a piece of information that our webserver sends to your computer (actually to your browser file) when you access a website. Then when you come back our site will detect whether you have one of our cookies on your computer. Our cookies help provide additional functionality to the site and help us analyze site usage more accurately. For instance, our site may set a cookie on your browser that keeps you from needing to remember and then enter a password more than once during a visit to the site.

This website uses 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. Generally, an IP address changes each time you connect to the Internet (it is a "dynamic" address). Note, however, that if you have a broadband connection, depending on your individual circumstance, it is possible that your IP Address that we collect, or even perhaps a cookie we use, may contain information that could be deemed identifiable. This is because with some broadband connections your IP Address doesn't change (it is "static") and could be associated with your personal computer. We use your IP address to report aggregate information on use and to help improve the website.

Your personal information will be stored securely and in strictest confidence. Administrative, technical and physical measures will be taken to protect personal information from loss, theft, unauthorised use or modification.

Areas of this website that collect sensitive personal information use industry standard secure socket layer encryption (SSL); however, to take advantage of this your browser must support encryption protection (found in Internet Explorer release 3.0 and above).

If this website is hosted by Lilly (rather than a third party), it will be hosted in a regional website hosting centre which may be located outside New Zealand. This centre places your information in databases that are protected by security firewalls and intrusion detection software and has security precautions that provide for industry standard protection of your information.

External Links

As a convenience to our visitors, this Website currently contains links to a number of sites that we believe may offer useful information. The policies and procedures we described here do not apply to those sites. We suggest contacting those sites directly for information on their privacy, security, data collection, and distribution policies.

General Information

This version is current April 2011.

We may update this Web site Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do update it, for your convenience, we will make the updated policy available on this page. We will contact you and request your consent before we make any use of Your Information other than as described herein.

This site is intended for use of New Zealand Residents only aged 18 and over.
