Welcome
Welcome to LifeScanMEA.com. This site is owned by Johnson &
Johnson Middle East Inc, Middle East & Africa division of LifeScan
Inc. This Privacy Policy is designed to tell you about our practices
regarding collection, use, and disclosure of information that you
may provide via this site. Please be sure to read this entire Privacy
Policy before using or submitting information to this site. This
site is intended for use by residents of Algeria, Bahrain, Cameroon,
Egypt, Georgia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kuwait, Lebanon, Malta,
Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Syria, Tanzania, Tunisia,
Turkey, UAE, Uganda, and Yemen.
Your Consent
By using this site, you agree with 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.
About Children
This site is not specifically intended for children under the age
of 13. We will not knowingly collect information from site 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.
Active Information Collection
Like many Web sites, this site actively collects information from
its visitors both by asking you specific questions and by permitting
you to communicate directly with us via e-mail, feedback forms,
and/or chat rooms. Some of the information that you submit may be
personally identifiable information (that is, information that can
be uniquely identified with you, such as your full name, address,
e-mail address, phone number, and so on).
Some areas of this site may require you to submit information in
order for you to benefit from the specified features (such as newsletter
subscriptions, tips/pointers, order processing) or to participate
in a particular activity (such as sweepstakes or other promotions).
You will be informed at each information collection point what information
is required and what information is optional.
Passive Information Collection
As you navigate through a Web site, certain information can be passively
collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the
information) using various technologies and means, such as Internet
Protocol addresses, cookies, Internet tags, and navigational data
collection.
We use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses on this site. 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). We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our
server, report aggregate information, determine the fastest route
for your computer to use in connecting to our site, and administer
and improve the site.
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 erased once you exit your Web browser window or otherwise
turn your computer off. Session cookies are used to improve navigation
on Web sites and to collect aggregate statistical information. This
site uses session cookies.
"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 (e.g., passwords),
helping to determine what areas of the Web site visitors find most
valuable, and customizing the Web site based on your preferences.
This site uses persistent cookies.
"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. We use Internet
tags at this site. Tags have been placed both on online advertisements
that bring people to the site and on different pages of the site.
These tags indicate how many times a page is opened and which information
is consulted. We do not collect or seek personally identifiable
information through these tags.
"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.
This site uses navigational data.
Use and Disclosure of Information
Except as otherwise stated, we may use your information 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 the purposes specified
in this Privacy Policy.
If you provide personally identifiable information to this site,
we may combine such information with other actively collected information
unless we specify otherwise at the point of collection. We will
take reasonable measures to prevent personally identifiable information
from being combined with passively collected information, unless
you consent otherwise.
We may disclose your personally identifiable information to other
Johnson & Johnson affiliates worldwide that agree to treat it
in accordance with this Privacy Policy. In addition, we may disclose
your personally identifiable information to third parties, located
in the United States and/or any other country, but only
- to contractors we use to support our business (e.g., 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;
- 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; or
- where required by applicable laws, court orders, or government
regulations.
In addition, we will make full use of all information acquired
through this site that is not in personally identifiable form.
Access and Correction
To keep your personally identifiable information accurate, current,
and complete, please contact us as specified below. We will take
reasonable steps to update or correct personally identifiable information
in our possession that you have previously submitted via this site.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your personally identifiable
information as you transmit your information from your computer
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 100% secure
or error-free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from this site may
not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding
what information you send to us via e-mail. Moreover, where you
use passwords, ID numbers, or other special access features on this
site, it is your responsibility to safeguard them.
Links to Other Web Sites
This site may contain links or references to other Web sites. Please
be aware that we do not control other Web sites and that, in any
case, this Privacy Policy does not apply to those Web sites. We
encourage you to read the privacy policy of every Web site you visit.
Other Terms
Your use of this site is subject to our Legal
Notice.
