Epoch Online Privacy Policy :
Epoch Life Science updated its Privacy Policy
to give you a better understanding of our Privacy Policy and Practice. If you have
any questions, please contact
privacy@EpochLifeScience.com.
Introduction
We at Epoch Life Science, Inc. and our affiliated companies worldwide
("Epoch") are committed to respecting your online privacy and recognize your need
for appropriate protection and management of any personally identifiable information
("Personal Information") you share with us.
Epoch has established this Online Privacy Policy so that
you can understand the care with which we intend to treat your Personal Information.
Personal Information means any information that may be used
to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name,
a home or other physical address and an email address or other contact information,
whether at work or at home. In general, you can visit Epoch's Web pages without
telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information about yourself.
If you choose to provide us with your Personal Information
on the Web, we will only use that information within Epoch and will not reveal to
any entity outside Epoch.
Epoch strives to comply with all applicable laws around the
globe that are designed to protect your privacy. Although legal requirements may
vary from country to country, Epoch intends to adhere to the principles set forth
in this Online Privacy Policy even if, in connection with the above, we transfer
your Personal Information from your country to countries that may not require an
"adequate" level of protection for your Personal Information. In other words, our
goal is to provide protection for your Personal Information no matter where that
Personal Information is collected, transferred, or retained.

Notice
Where Epoch collects Personal Information on the web,
we intend to post a purpose statement that explains why Personal Information will
be collected and whether we plan to share such Personal Information outside of Epoch
or those working on Epoch's behalf. Epoch does not intend to transfer Personal Information
without your consent to third parties who are not bound to act on Epoch's behalf
unless such transfer is legally required.

Choice
You may choose whether or not to provide Personal Information
to Epoch. The notice we intend to provide where Epoch collects Personal Information
on the Web should help you to make this choice. If you choose not to provide the
Personal Information we request, you can still visit most of Epoch's Web sites,
but you may be unable to access certain options, offers, and services that involve
our interaction with you.
If you chose to have a relationship with Epoch, such
as a contractual or other business relationship or partnership, we will naturally
continue to contact you in connection with that business relationship.

Security
Wherever your Personal Information may be held within
Epoch or on its behalf, we intend to take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect
the Personal Information that you share with us from unauthorized access or disclosure.

Access/Accuracy
To the extent that you do provide us with Personal
Information, Epoch wishes to maintain accurate Personal Information. Where we collect
Personal Information from you on the Web, our goal is to provide a means of contacting
Epoch should you need to update or correct that Information. If for any reason those
means are unavailable or inaccessible, you may send updates and corrections about
your Personal Information to
privacy@EpochLifeScience.com and we will
make reasonable efforts to incorporate the changes in your Personal Information
that we hold as soon as practicable.
