Do We Use Cookies?
Yes. Cookies are small files that the Site or our service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser that enables the Site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. We use cookies to help us understand how users use the Site. For example, cookies gather information about how long you spend on a web page so that we can understand what web pages are of most interest to users.
If you prefer, you can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off cookies by adjusting your browser settings. If you turn off your cookies, some of the features on the Site may not function properly.
Google Analytics
We use cookies provided by Google Analytics, a third-party service provider, to assist us in better understanding our Site visitors. These cookies collect data tied to a user’s IP address, such as the length of time a user spends on a page, the pages a user visits, and the websites a user visits before and after visiting the Site. Based on this information, Google Analytics compiles aggregate data about Site traffic and Site interactions, which we use to offer better Site experiences and tools in the future. Google Analytics does not collect any personal information (other than IP Address which may be considered personal information in some countries). For more information on Google Analytics, visit https://support.google.com/analytics.
Web Beacons
We include small graphic images or other web programming code, called web beacons (also known as "pixel tags", “web bugs” or "clear GIFs"), on the Site. The web beacons are minute graphics with a unique identifier. They are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored in a user's computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Rejecting cookies using browser settings may not stop web beacons from tracking you.
Tracking Across Time and Different Sites
The Site tracks your online activities over time and across websites or online services on an individually identifiable basis. For example, we may serve you advertisements on other websites based on what appeared to interest you on our Site. We allow third parties to use our Site to track your activities over time or across other websites.
Do Not Track Setting
Some web browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature (DNT) that signals to the websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Many websites and applications, including our Site, do not currently respond to web browser DNT signals because such signals are not yet uniform. For more information about DNT signals, please visit http://allaboutdnt.com.
Security
To prevent unauthorized access to the website or application or any portion thereof, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have enacted commercially reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure, during transmission and storage, the information we collect through this website and application.
4. HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We generally retain personal information for as long as needed for the specific business purpose or purposes for which it was collected or obtained, and as outlined in this Notice. In some cases, we may be required to retain personal information for a longer period of time by law or for other necessary business purposes. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include: (i) the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you; (ii) whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject that affects the personal information; and (iii) whether retention is determined to be necessary or advisable for Teva due to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation, or other legal or regulatory obligations. Teva takes reasonable steps to dispose of personal information upon the expiration of retention periods taking into consideration these litigation, legal, or regulatory obligations.
