3. Your Choices About Processing Your Data
We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain Personal Data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising. We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing). We have established the following Personal Data control mechanisms.
SKLSL respects the privacy rights of individuals. Individuals can request access to the specific pieces of Personal Data SKLSL has collected, disclosed or shared about them in the last 12 months, including the categories of information, sources and business purposes of collection, as well as the categories of third parties whom SKLSL has disclosed or shared the Personal Data. You may make a request twice within a 12-month calendar year.
These rights, subject to some limitations and verification of the individual’s identity, are listed below.
- Right to access – right to know what Personal Data we hold about you and for what purpose.
- Right to correct – right to correct any incorrect Personal Data we hold about you.
- Right to delete – right to request any Personal Data collected on you by SKLSL or on behalf of SKLSL to be deleted. Please note, there are some cases where we are required to keep your Personal Data, for example, a regulatory requirement or legal hold notice.
- Right to obtain a copy of the Personal Data we have on you.
- Opt-out of Profiling – Profiling is a form of automated decision-making that predicts certain personal aspects about someone. We may make profiles on you, using different sources, including third party sources, based on artificial intelligence models that help us determine how best we can communicate with you.
- Opt-out of Targeted Advertising – Targeted advertising refers to displaying ads to a consumer where the ad is selected based on the Personal Data obtained from that consumer’s activities over time and across non-affiliated websites to predict preferences. We may share your information we get from cookies to third parties that may do targeted advertising.
- Do Not Sell or Share request – Because we may share your information that we get from cookies to third parties, some laws may consider this as selling. You receive an opportunity to opt-out of the sharing of this data via the cookie pop-up tool on each website before the data is collected.
- Limit the use of my sensitive Personal Data – We do not collect your sensitive Personal Data unless it is to fulfill the business need that we collected it for, and you have opted in to providing it. Clinical trial participants can access the Privacy Notice applicable to them via the Clinical Trial Study Site. Employees can access the Employee Privacy Notice via the Intranet under Human Resources.
- Right to non-discrimination – right to non-retaliation for making a privacy rights request.
To make a privacy request, please fill in this form here. If you prefer to contact us via mail or email, there is contact information on the form, or you can refer to the “HOW TO CONTACT US” section at the bottom of this policy.
In order for SKLSL to process a request for you to exercise your Privacy Rights, SKLSL will verify your identity by asking you to provide certain personal information. This information may include a description of your relationship with SKLSL, your first and last name, email address, or other Personal Data that will allow us to verify your identity. If we are successful in verifying your identity, SKLSL will do its best to complete your request as soon as possible, and, in any event, no later than 45 days after receiving your request unless we request an extension. A response to opt-out requests will be made within 15 days of the request.
If we cannot validate your identity, we will attempt to contact you to inform you of this issue.
You may designate an authorized agent to exercise your Privacy Rights on your behalf in accordance with California law, if you reside in California. If you make a request through your authorized agent, we may require you to submit a written and signed statement that the agent is authorized to act on your behalf.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
If you wish to appeal our action on a Privacy Rights Request, you may do so by contacting us via the information in the “HOW TO CONTACT US” section at the bottom.
