§ 3 Principles and Purposes of Processing Personal Data

Personal data is information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This may include information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, e-mail address, IP address or user behavior. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

We use personal data about you:

· to answer your enquiries and meet your requests, for instance to send you requested information.

· to send you important information about our business relationship with you, about our terms of business or use and/or to send you other information related to processing of your data.

· to promote our business interests, for example for data analysis, for checks, for the development of new products and services, to improve our interactions with you, to enhance our website, to personalise your use of our website, by presenting you with products and offers tailored to you, as well as to identify the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. In this respect, we adhere strictly to legal stipulations and as far as possible only use anonymised data, which does not allow inferences to be made about you as an individual. The law may provide separate preconditions for the individual uses of data.

· to operate use-based online information; more information on this can be found under cookie information.

We will only use your personal data when the law or you allow us to.

§ 4 How Your Data is Collected

We use different methods to collect data from and about you including through:

· Direct Interactions: You may give us your data by filling in forms, applying for jobs with us, or by corresponding with us by post, phone, email or otherwise. This may include personal data you provide when you purchase or use our products, subscribe to our services or publications, request marketing to be sent to you, enter a competition, promotion or survey or provide us with feedback.

· Automated technologies or interactions: As you interact with our website, we may automatically collect technical data about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns. We collect this personal data by using cookies and similar technologies. Please see the section on cookies in this Privacy Policy below for further details.

· Third parties or publicly available sources: We may receive personal data about you from various third parties and public sources.

§ 5 Our Legal Basis for Using your Data

We must have a valid basis for using your personal information and we may not collect store or use information other than as described in this policy. There are four ways we may have a valid basis for using your personal information:

· Fulfilling the contract: The information we collect from you may be necessary to allow us to fulfil our contract with you or to enter into a contract with you.

· Consent: You may provide your consent for us to contact you or to collect your information for example, by consenting to the use of cookies on our website. If you have given consent to our use of your personal information, you are entitled to withdraw this consent at any time.

· Legitimate interest: We may also have a legitimate interest in using your personal information, for example to ensure that the content on our website is presented to you and your computer as effectively as possible. If this is our reason for using your personal information, we must make sure that our interests do not override yours and you can object to this use of your personal information.

· Legal obligation: Lastly, we may have a legal obligation to use your personal information in certain ways or to protect your interests, for example we may exchange information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

§ 6 Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, as well as the applicable legal requirements.

§ 7 Website Cookies

1. Scope and Purpose of the Processing

Cookies: We use so-called cookies in some areas of our website, e.g. to recognise the preferences of visitors and to be able to design the website accordingly. This facilitates navigation and a high degree of user-friendliness of a website. Cookies also help us to identify particularly popular areas of our website. Cookies are small files that are stored on a visitor's hard drive. They allow information to be stored for a certain period of time and to identify the visitor's computer. For better user guidance and individual service presentation, we use permanent cookies. We also use so-called session cookies, which are automatically deleted when you close your browser. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies or so that it informs you about the placement of cookies. This makes the use of cookies transparent for you.

Important: If you completely exclude the use of cookies, you may not be able to use certain functions of our website. We may use the following four categories of cookies on our website:

· Necessary Cookies

· Performance Cookies

· Functionality / personalisation Cookies

· Targeting Cookies. Various types of cookies are used on our website, the type and function are explained as follows:

2. Categories of Cookies

Necessary cookies: These cookies are necessary so that you can move around the website and use its functions, for example when accessing password-protected areas. Without these cookies, we cannot provide you with certain services you have requested. We use cookies to uniquely identify registered users so that they can be identified during their stay and when they return to the website.

Performance cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for example, which pages they visit most frequently and whether they receive error messages from websites. These cookies do not collect any data that can be used to identify visitors. All information collected with the help of these cookies is anonymous and serves exclusively to improve the functionality and service of the website. We therefore use performance cookies to generate statistics on how our website is used and to see how effective our advertising campaigns are.

Functionality / personalisation cookies: These cookies allow websites to remember a visitor's previous information (e.g. user name, language or selected market) in order to offer optimised features tailored to the visitor. For example, a website can provide you with up-to-date information about your market by storing your current location in a cookie. These cookies also serve to maintain the settings you make on the website (e.g. font or font size and other user-adjustable options). They are also used to provide services you have requested, for example when you want to watch a video. These cookies are not able to track your browser activity on other websites. They do not collect any information about you that can be used for advertising purposes and cannot trace where you were on the Internet outside our website. We therefore use functionality/personalisation cookies to recognise you the next time you visit our website and to personalise content and save your settings (for example, your preferred market).

Targeting Cookies: These cookies are used to tailor advertising even more specifically to you and your interests. They also serve to limit how often you see an advert, measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign and understand people's behaviour after viewing an advert. Targeting cookies are usually placed on the pages of advertising networks with the consent of the website operator. You recognise that the user has visited a website and pass this information on to other companies, e.g. advertising companies. They are often linked to a website functionality provided by this company. We therefore use targeting cookies to link to social networks that may then use the information about your visit to tailor advertising on other websites to you and to provide the advertising networks we use with information about your visit so that, based on your browsing behaviour, you can later be presented with the advertising that you may be interested in.

3. Browser Settings

Most browsers are already set to accept cookies by default. However, you can change your browser settings so that it only accepts certain cookies or no cookies at all. However, we would like to point out that you may no longer be able to use all the functions of our website if cookies are disabled by your browser settings on our website.

You can also use your browser settings to delete cookies already stored in your browser. Furthermore, it is possible to set your browser so that it informs you before cookies are stored. Since the different browsers may differ in their respective functions, we ask you to use the respective help menu of your browser for the setting options.

If you would like a comprehensive overview of all third-party access to your Internet browser, we recommend that you install specially developed plug-ins.

4. Passive processing via our website e.g. Tracking Tools (where applicable)

If you use this website, specific personal data can be processed in a passive way using various technologies, i.e. without you expressly entering it. Such passive information gathering primarily takes place in the following cases and for the following data:

Information from your browser: Specific information is typically processed by browsers and passed on automatically, such as your MAC address (unique device designation), the screen resolution, your operating system (Windows, Apple, Android), the version of your operating system, as well as the type and version of your internet browser.

Your IP address: Your IP address is a combination of figures issued automatically to the computer used by you or by your internet provider. An IP address is automatically processed in the log files of our web server when a user calls up our website. Communication between the web server and the visitor’s computer is not possible without the IP address. If we log and store the visiting time on our websites under the IP address, the IP address is anonymised to rule out any reference to you by us.

Device information: We would like to point out that under certain circumstances and in the case of mobile terminals we process the unique device number (IMEI) – like the MAC address for computers. However, such processing only occurs when it is required to provide the respective requested service.

Website analysis: Technologies for website analysis are used with our website. Using this technology, data is saved and processed for marketing and optimisation purposes. The personal data required for this is also processed using cookies. In this regard, please be aware of our cookie information, detailed above.

This website may use Google Analytics, a web-analysis service of Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files saved on your computer that facilitate an analysis of your use of the website. The personal data generated by the cookie on your use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and saved there. In the case of activated IP anonymisation on this website, your IP address will, however, be abbreviated in advance by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other signatory countries to the Treaty on the European Economic Area.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. On the orders of the operator of this website, Google will use this personal data to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide further services for the website operator associated with website use and internet use. The IP address passed on by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can prevent the saving of cookies through a relevant setting in your browser software; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to make full use of all the functions of this website. You can countermand the collection and storage of data by Google Analytics at any time with future effect. You can prevent the processing of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in (deactivation add-on) from tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

§ 8 Access to Sections of the Website Restricted to Professional Groups (if applicable)

Whilst some of the web pages and functions provided by Glenmark can be visited and used without personal registration, some pages are only open to specific groups of people and therefore may require registration. Glenmark may only make certain information about prescription-only medications or medical content accessible if you belong to so-called professional groups (such as doctors and pharmacists). Please be aware that the information we offer you on our website through our services that require registration is of a general type and cannot provide any advice for the treatment of patients in individual cases.

Against this background, we may offer members of the relevant professional groups the opportunity to register for the closed section of our website in order to be able to retrieve the information about our medications described above. Access to these closed sections takes place either through direct registration with Glenmark – in this case, you will receive a password from us that allows you to visit this section – or by means of a DocCheck password. For this, you will need your DocCheck access data. DocCheck is an external service provider that gives you the opportunity to set up a user account at www.doccheck.com. DocCheck checks that you are an actual member of the stated professional groups. You can then also use this access data as login data for our website (as well as for numerous other similar websites). For information on the handling of your data by DocCheck, please also see the DocCheck privacy policy. Please carefully check the data-protection regulations of DocCheck before registering there.

§ 9 Third Party Websites

This Privacy Policy does not affect any third-party websites, even if there is a reference or link to these third-party websites. We do not endorse the content of such third-party websites. The same applies accordingly for graphic elements such as banners or shortcuts that when clicked on take you to another website. For these third-party websites, please go to the websites of the respective provider to find out how they handle your data. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy notice of every website you visit.

§ 10 Third Parties and the Processing of your Personal Data

If necessary and legally allowed, we may pass your personal data to the following third parties:
