PRIVACY NOTICE
This Privacy Notice is effective as of 1 July 2022.
Chiesi Canada (collectively, “Chiesi,” “we,“ “us,” “our”) is committed to protecting individual privacy and maintaining the trust of the users or visitors to our websites (collectively, “visitors”). It is important to us that we provide transparency regarding our collection, use, and disclosure of personal information.
To help us meet this commitment to you, we have created this Privacy Notice (“Privacy Notice”). This Privacy Notice governs data protection matters across our websites (collectively, the “Chiesi Sites” or “Sites”), and is particularly designed for the website ourironwill.ca. For clarity, “personal information” means any information that identifies, or could reasonably be linked to, a particular individual.
Please Note: This Privacy Notice applies to visitors that are located domestically in Canada. If you are accessing our Site from outside of Canada, please refer to the corresponding website for US or EU (ourironwill.com, ourironwill.net).

We collect information from you when you visit our website, sign up as a business partner, provide services as a third party, request information as an external stakeholder, file complaints through Pharmacovigilance, or apply for employment with us (when applicable).
Information we may have about you may either be directly provided by you, by our business partners (i.e., the legal entity for whom you work), by third parties (e.g., external vendors or medical agencies), or be obtained through trusted publicly available sources.
ourironwill.ca is an informational Site with limited interaction with visitors, therefore we may only process your usage information – as defined below – and data connected to cookies and similar technologies eventually used on the Site.

Unless you also actively submit personal information to us, any Usage Information typically does not allow us to identify you personally. Usage Information is generally collected through the use of cookies.
- TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES AND COOKIES
We use cookies to collect aggregate information. A “cookie” is a small piece of information sent by a Web server to a Web browser that enables the server to collect information from the browser. Cookies are stored on your hard drive and not on our Site, so you can examine your data files and see what information is being recorded. Most cookies are “session cookies” that are automatically deleted when the user closes his or her browser at the end of a session. You may decline cookies if your browser permits. If you do so, however, you may be required to re-enter your previously submitted information each time you visit our Site.
Data collected by cookies is used to monitor a website and improve its usability. We may use cookies on certain pages, for example, to eliminate the need for you to re-enter your password during a session. We can also use cookies to identify your IP address when you visit a Site to keep track of your browsing patterns and to build a demographic profile.

When you visit a webpage on our Site containing a particular Plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection with the server of the corresponding Social Network.
