This privacy statement explains when and why we collect personal information, how we use it, the conditions under which we may disclose it to others, and how we keep it secure. This Privacy Statement applies to the use of our products and to our sales, marketing, and customer contract fulfilment activities. It also applies to individuals seeking a job in Baylis.

Baylis is the data controller and our Data Protection Officer can be contacted by email: compliance@baylismedical.com.

WHEN DO WE COLLECT PERSONAL DATA ABOUT YOU?

• When you interact with us in person, through correspondence, by phone, by social media, or through our websites.
• When we collect personal information from other legitimate sources, such as third-party data aggregators, Baylis marketing partners, public sources, or social networks. We only use this data if you have given your consent to these sources to share your personal data with others.
• When there are situations of legitimate interest and this interest is not overridden by your privacy interests.

WHY DO WE COLLECT AND USE PERSONAL DATA?

OUR LEGAL BASIS FOR COLLECTING PERSONAL DATA

Collecting personal data based on consents
The collection of personal data based on consent from the data subject will be done by using “Consent Forms” that will store documentation related to the consent given by the individual. Individual consents will always be stored and documented in our systems.

Collecting personal data based on contracts
We use personal information for fulfilling our obligations related to contracts and agreements with customers, partners, and suppliers.

Collecting personal data based on legitimate interest
We may use personal data if it is considered to be of legitimate interest, and if the privacy interests of the data subjects do not override this interest. Normally, to establish the legal basis for data collection, an assessment has been made during which a mutual interest between Baylis and the individual person has been identified. This legal basis is primarily related to our sales and marketing purposes. We will always inform individuals about their privacy rights and the purpose for collecting personal data. 

WHAT TYPE OF PERSONAL DATA IS COLLECTED?

We may collect your name, phone number, title and email address, in addition to your company’s name and contact information. We may also collect feedback, comments and questions received from you in service-related communication and activities, such as meetings, phone calls, documents, and emails. From our websites we may collect your IP-address and actions taken on the site.

If you upload photos or videos, add posts or comments, etc. on our European Union website, the information can be read by anyone with access to the site and used for purposes over which Baylis or you have no control. Therefore, Baylis is not responsible for any information you submit to the European Union website.

If you apply for a job at Baylis, we collect the data you provide during the application process.

Baylis does not collect or process any special categories of personal data, such as public unique identifiers or sensitive personal data. This includes, but is not limited to, race or ethnicity, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, physical or mental health, sexual life, and any actual or alleged criminal offences or penalties.  

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

We store personal data for as long as we find it necessary to fulfill the purpose for which the personal data was collected, while also considering our need to answer your queries or resolve possible problems, to comply with legal requirements under applicable laws, to attend to any legal claims/complaints, and for safeguarding purposes.

This means that we may retain your personal data for a reasonable period of time after your last interaction with us. When the personal data that we have collected is no longer required, we will delete it in a secure manner. We may process data for statistical purposes, but in such cases, data will be anonymized.

YOUR RIGHTS TO YOUR PERSONAL DATA

You have the following rights with respect to your personal data:

• The right to request a copy of your personal data that Baylis holds about you.
• The right to request that Baylis correct your personal data if inaccurate or out of date.
• The right to request that your personal data be deleted when it is no longer necessary for Baylis to retain such data.
• The right to withdraw any consent to personal data processing at any time. For example, your consent to receive e-marketing communications:
• If you want to withdraw your consent to e-marketing, please make use of the link to manage your subscriptions included in our communication. Please note that you may still receive system messages and administrative communications from Baylis, such as order confirmations, system messages and notifications about your account activities.
• The right to request that Baylis provides you with your personal data and, if possible, to pass on this information directly (in a portable format) to another data controller when the processing is based on consent or contract.
• The right to request a restriction on further data processing, in case there is a dispute in relation to the accuracy or processing of your personal data.
• The right to object to the processing of personal data, in case data processing has been based on legitimate interest and/or direct marketing.
• The right to lodge complaints with supervisory authorities.

Any query about your Privacy Rights should be sent to compliance@baylismedical.com.

This means we are obligated to take reasonable steps to verify your identity or your authorized agent’s authority and your right to access the information you request. In the process of verifying your request, we may contact you to ask for additional information that will help us do so, including government-issued IDs containing your name and address, utility bills containing that same information, and/or unique identifiers like usernames. We will only use that additional information in the verification process, and not for any other purpose. Once we have received and verified the requested information from you, we will contact you with our response to your request, including any data, if applicable. If we do not hear from you or are unable to verify your identity for the request, we will contact you to inform you that we cannot process your request because we cannot verify your identity.

CANADIAN PRIVACY POLICY
STATEMENT OF PRIVACY PRINCIPLES

In this Statement of Privacy Principles, Baylis Medical Company Inc. (“Baylis”, “we”, “our”, “us”) describes how we processes personal information. The preservation of, and respect for, our customers', business colleagues, vendors', and patients' trust is critical to our continued success. We will always process personal information:

• Confidentially and fairly
• Appropriately, according to the statements we make
• Lawfully, in accordance with applicable data protection laws, directives, regulations and principles

This Statement of Privacy Principles tells you how we protect and use information that we gather through www.baylismedical.com, the Baylis website for Canada (the “Website”). Please note that Baylis and our affiliates also operate other websites. This Statement of Privacy Principles only applies to this Website and does not apply to other Baylis websites. You should review the Statement of Privacy Principles posted on other Baylis websites when you visit them. This Website and this Statement of Privacy Principles are intended for a Canadian audience.

This Statement of Privacy Principles was last revised on October 1, 2018. We may change this Statement of Privacy Principles at any time and for any reason. The current Statement of Privacy Principles will always be posted on this webpage. Significant changes to this Statement of Privacy Principles are discussed below. We encourage you to review this Statement of Privacy Principles each time you visit this Website.

By using this Website, you agree to the terms of the most recent version of this Statement of Privacy Principles. Please read our Website Terms and Conditions to understand the general rules about your use of this website. Except as written in any other disclaimers, policies, terms and conditions, or other notices on this website, this Statement of Privacy Principles and the Website Terms and Conditions are the complete agreement between you and Baylis with respect to your use of this Website. You may be subject to additional terms that may apply when you access particular services or materials on certain areas in this Website, or by following a link from this Website.
 

WHEN DO THESE PRIVACY PRINCIPLES APPLY?

This Statement of Privacy Principles applies when we process personal information collected in Canada. This Statement of Privacy Principles applies to personal data when we collect it directly from the data subject (the person who the data identifies), and also when we collect data from one person, company, or other legal entity that identifies another person. Therefore, when we use the word "you", "me", and "I" in this Statement of Privacy Principles, we mean the individual whose personal information we are processing, whether we collect that information directly from the individual or indirectly from someone else.

This Statement of Privacy Principles does not apply when we process information:

• about our employees and business consultants in the scope of their employment or business consultancy relationship with us
• where we have given other disclaimers, policies, terms and conditions, or other notices indicating that this policy does not apply, or that a different policy or notice applies instead
• that does not identify you as an individual person, including personal information which has been anonymized so that it can no longer be used to identify you
• only as a processor of information on behalf of a third party where that processing is governed by separate terms

WHAT IS DATA PROCESSING?

Data processing is any operation or set of operations involving personal information, whether or not by automatic means. This includes collecting, using, disclosing, adapting, altering, correcting, retrieving, combining, blocking, erasing, transferring, destroying, recording, organizing, storing, disseminating, or otherwise making available, consulting, and using personal information.
 

WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Personal information is information relating to you that we can use to specifically identify you, such as your:

• name
• telephone number
• e-mail address
• date of birth
• address
• social insurance number or other national identifier
• account number
• any other information that identifies or could identify you and relates to you

 

WHEN AND HOW DOES BAYLIS COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION?

1. 1. Forms – In some places on our Website you have the opportunity to send us personal information about yourself. For example, you may fill out a registration form, a survey or an e-mail form. 
2. 2. Cookies – You may also choose to allow us to personalize your visits to the web sites, in which case we will ask you for certain personal information to make your visits to our web sites more helpful to you. When this information is combined with the non-personal information that we collect through cookies, we will be able to tell that you have visited our web sites before.
3. 3. Inquiries – We may collect personal information from you when you contact us for information, products, or services.
4. 4. Commercial Transactions – We may collect personal information about you in the course of engaging in commercial transactions with our customers, vendors, and other business contacts.
5.  

WHY DOES BAYLIS PROCESS PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We may process your personal information:

• to respond to your requests and enquiries
• to perform a contract or for contract negotiations with or about you
• to develop records, including records of your personal information
• to contact you by mail (or in other ways with your permission) with information that might be of interest to you, including information about clinical trials and about products and services of ours and of others
• for analytical purposes and to research, develop and improve programs, products, therapies, services and content
• to remove your personal identifiers (your name, e-mail address, social security number, etc) so that information is anonymized. In this case, you would no longer be identified as a single unique individual. Once we have anonymized information, it is non-personal information and is not subject to this Statement of Privacy Principles
• to personalize your access to our Website, for example, by telling you about new features that may be of interest to you
• to enforce this Statement of Privacy Principles and otherwise protect our rights or property
• to protect your vital interests or someone else's health, safety or welfare
• to comply with a law or regulation, court order, or other legal obligation
• for our other legitimate interests, unless such processing will unfairly prejudice your rights or freedoms
• in other ways to which you consent

 

WILL BAYLIS EVER USE PERSONAL INFORMATION TO CONTACT ME WITH MARKETING OR EDUCATIONAL MESSAGES?

We may contact you periodically in person, by e-mail, by fax, by mail, or by telephone to provide information regarding programs, products, services and content that may be of interest to you, unless you advise us that you do not wish to receive marketing, market research communications, or educational materials from us. If applicable law requires that we receive your explicit consent before we send you certain types of marketing communications, we will only send you those types of communications after receiving your explicit consent.
 

WHAT IF I NO LONGER WISH TO RECEIVE INFORMATION FROM BAYLIS, OR NO LONGER WISH TO ALLOW BAYLIS TO PROCESS MY PERSONAL INFORMATION?

If you wish to stop receiving communications from us, or would like us to stop processing your personal information in any other way, you can contact us as described at the bottom of this Statement of Privacy Principles to let us know what types of communications you wish to stop receiving. In addition, if you have received, or in the future receive, an e-mail from us, each e-mail we send includes an easy, automated way for you to cease receiving e-mails from us.
 

DOES BAYLIS EVER SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH THIRD PARTIES?

Baylis will not share your personal information with an unrelated third party without your permission, except as otherwise provided in this Statement of Privacy Principles.

In the ordinary course of business, we will share some personal information with companies that we hire to perform services or functions on our behalf. For example, we may use different vendors or suppliers to ship our products. In these cases, we provide the vendor or supplier with information to process your order such as your name and mailing address. In all cases in which we share your personal information with a third party, we will not authorize them to keep, disclose or use your information with others except for the purpose of providing the services we asked them to provide.

We will not sell, exchange or publish your personal information, except in conjunction with a corporate sale, merger, dissolution, or acquisition.

We may be legally compelled to release your personal information in response to a court order, subpoena, search warrant, law, or regulation. We may cooperate with law enforcement authorities in investigating and/or prosecuting web site visitors who violate our rules or engage in behavior which is harmful to other visitors (or illegal).

We may additionally disclose your personal information to third parties if we feel that the disclosure is necessary to:

• enforce this Statement of Privacy Principles
• protect our rights or property
• protect someone's health, safety or welfare

 

WILL BAYLIS EVER TRANSFER PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT ME TO COUNTRIES OTHER THAN THE COUNTRY WHERE I AM LOCATED?

Baylis may transfer information out of the country in which it was collected to any other country that is recognized by Canada as having adequate privacy protections. We will transfer information to other areas only if:

• the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract between you and Baylis or for pre-contractual measures taken in response to your request; or
• if you consent to the transfer; or
• if the data will be adequately protected in the other country, by contract or other protection

Baylis has arrangements with all of its offices and affiliates that assure that personal information transferred among Baylis companies is adequately protected, including transfers of personal information to Baylis offices and affiliates in the United States of America.
 

WHAT HAPPENS IF THIS STATEMENT OF PRIVACY PRINCIPLES CHANGES?

If we decide to make a significant change to this Statement of Privacy Principles, we will describe any major changes in this section. You can always find the most current copy of this Statement of Privacy Principles on the website for your country, or contact us at the address below.
 

WHAT ABOUT THE SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We use reasonable physical, administrative, and technical safeguards to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We also restrict access to your personal information to those employees and contractors who need to know that information to do their jobs. You should keep in mind that no Internet transmission is ever 100% secure or error-free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from us may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail.
 

HOW LONG WILL BAYLIS MAINTAIN MY PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We will not keep information for any longer than is required. In many cases, personal information must be kept for considerable periods of time in order to make it available as and when questions or disputes arise. Retention periods will be determined taking into account the type of personal information that is collected and the purpose for which it is collected, bearing in mind the requirements applicable to the situation and the need to destroy outdated, unused information at the earliest reasonable opportunity.

We will continue to treat your personal information in accordance with this Statement of Privacy Principles so long as we retain it.
