IP addresses are unique identifiers automatically assigned to each electronic device when logging onto the Internet.

Purposes of collection, use and disclosure: TThe User Personal Information and Patient Information that is collected by and from You when using this Software will be used and disclosed only in accordance with this Privacy Policy, as specifically disclosed to You at the time You provide the information or as otherwise authorized by You or where required by applicable law.

If the Software malfunctions, Shire will likely need to access Users' personal data in order to assess and fix the fault. SHIRE's use of Users' personal data is always associated with use of the Software. It is necessary for SHIRE's legitimate interests to use Users' personal data in order for SHIRE to support the provision of the Software to your Establishment and this use shall not jeopardize the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals.

The Patient Information collected is processed, used and disclosed as indicated in the patient consent form and at the request of the Establishment.

How we share data with third parties

Except as specified and only when permitted by applicable law, neither User Personal Information nor Patient Information will be sold, leased, transferred, transmitted, shared, or otherwise accessed by or to any third parties other than to third parties who process User Personal Information and Patient Information to provide technical support services or, at the request of the Establishments, to processors on which SHIRE relies to perform certain aspects of these processing activities and to affiliates of the SHIRE Group. In addition, SHIRE may disclose such information where necessary to successors in title, to facilitate a merger, consolidation, transfer of control or other corporate reorganization in which SHIRE participates; to respond to appropriate requests of legitimate government authorities, or where required by applicable laws, court orders, or government regulations; or where needed for corporate audits or to investigate or respond to a complaint or security threat.

International Data Transfers

Information may be disclosed, stored and processed in any country where SHIRE has established operations including where SHIRE may engage service providers. This may involve overseas transfers, disclosures or transmissions of your User Personal Information to countries which do not have data protection or privacy laws considered to be equivalent to those under your applicable local law. Further information about the countries and service providers where data is transferred or transmitted to can be found on the website associated with Zero Bleeds (https://zerobleeds.com.sg). Your data may therefore also be accessed by service providers who assist SHIRE in the resolution of purely technical issues. Where service providers are based outside of the country in which You reside in countries which do not have data protection or privacy laws considered to be equivalent to those under your applicable local law, such service providers are required by SHIRE to implement appropriate safeguards to ensure that your data is adequately protected. You may contact SHIRE should You wish to obtain a copy of the appropriate safeguards that are in place. SHIRE shall retain Users' personal data only for as long as the User is approved by the Establishment's Practice Administrator. Otherwise upon notification that they are not so approved, SHIRE shall securely delete or effectively de-identify Users' personal data.

Access to Information

Your User account information is accessible by using a password that You select. Each Practice Administrator is responsible for the access and maintenance of its own Establishment information, including User Personal Information and Patient Information, which can be accessed via your User ID.

Opting Out

All active information collection points indicate whether requested information is required or optional to ensure that only the information You want to provide is collected. We also attempt to tell You at the point of collection and in this Privacy Policy what the consequences will be (e.g., inability to access important functions of the Software) if You do not provide the required or optional information. When You submit User Personal Information and/or Patient Information via this Software, whether such information is required or optional, and click the consent box, you consent to its disclosure and use in accordance with this Privacy Policy and represent that You have obtained the signed Patient Consent Form from your patient as described herein. Furthermore, You acknowledge that SHIRE only processes this User Personal Information and Patient Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, at the request of your Establishment, to assist the Establishment in appropriately dosing the Medication for its patients.

Data Security

We maintain reasonable and appropriate physical, electronic and procedural safeguards designed to protect User Personal Information and Patient Information. According to applicable law, SHIRE ensures that required local "basic level" security measures are implemented via the Software. While we work very hard to protect your privacy, no method of security is 100% effective, and, as far as permitted under applicable law, we cannot be responsible for the actions of those who may gain unauthorized access to your information. As far as permitted under applicable law, SHIRE makes no warranties, express, implied or otherwise, as to the ultimate effectiveness of its reasonable and appropriate safeguards.

Agents, contractors or other processors or sub-processors of SHIRE who administer the Software and have access to User Personal Information and/or Patient Information in connection with providing services for SHIRE are required to keep the information confidential and are not permitted to use this information for any other purpose than to carry out the services they are performing for SHIRE.

One way we protect User Personal Information and Patient Information is through User ID and password. This safety measure is only effective if You protect the secrecy of both your User ID and password. You acknowledge that You are solely responsible for any unauthorized use of the Software conducted via your personal User ID or password. If at any time You have reason to believe your User ID or password may have been compromised or subject to unauthorized use, contact us immediately.

We take other steps to secure User Personal Information and Patient Information against loss, unauthorized access, use, modification or disclosure and other misuse. For example, any User Personal Information and Patient Information You provide is sent by a secure link using encryption. Encryption is the translation of data into a secret code. To read an encrypted file, You must have the key that allows You to read it, so that even if someone were able to obtain the data, they would not be able to make sense of it.

THIS SOFTWARE IS ONLY INTENDED FOR USE BY LICENSED HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS AND PATIENTS.

Your rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction and objection: You have the right to object to processing of User Personal Information and to request SHIRE to delete Your User Personal Information. If You choose to do so, You will no longer be able to use the Software. You also have the right to obtain access to the personal data we hold about You and to obtain a copy. You also have the right to require the rectification or erasure of data that is incorrect, incomplete, or outdated or to restrict the processing of your personal data. You also have the right to request to see evidence of your consent.

Contact Us / Enforcement of Privacy Policy / Data Privacy Rights If you have any questions, comments, concerns or complaints about this Privacy Policy including about how to exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure and objection, or any questions about the information practices of this Software, please contact your Practice Administrator, who grants You access rights to the Software. You may also contact SHIRE at PrivacyConnect@shire.com. If required by law, SHIRE has appointed a local representative. Please see the Contact Us information on the website associated with Zero Bleeds for further information about how to contact the local representative.

If You are concerned about the use of your personal data, You have a right to complain to your local data protection authority.

We reserve the rights to amend, modify and/or replace all or part of this Privacy Policy. You will be informed of such an amendment, modification or replacement by a notice on the Software. You will be asked to agree to the amendment before you access the Software.
