Makro is committed to respecting the privacy of individuals. To better protect
your privacy, we provide this notice to explain our online information
practices and the choices you have about the way your personal information is
collected and used.
Why we collect personal data
From time to time Makro may collect personal data for specific and limited
purposes which we explain to you when you provide it voluntarily or when we
request the information. This information is collected in several ways. On some
Web pages, you can register to receive customized information. In order to
provide this customized information, Makro requests certain personal data. For
example, if you are an investigator, Makro requests your personal data to
identify and contact individual investigators to determine their interest and
expertise in participating in clinical trials. If you are interested in an
employment opportunity at Makro, then we request and process your personal data
to match your qualifications with open positions and to contact you regarding
your interest. Investigators selected to conduct clinical trials may need to
provide additional information so they may be compensated for their
participation..
How we use this information
The information provided by you is stored in a database in order to provide you
with the information you requested. This information will only be shared with
employees of Makro and only to the extent necessary to accommodate your
request. Makro does not share your information with outside third parties
without your explicit consent. Makro is a global company with offices and
databases throughout the world. Makro may transfer your data to one of its
databases or offices which is outside your country of domicile. Makro takes
measures to protect data that is so transferred.
