Privacy Policy

Your right to privacy is important to us. At Shire we believe that personal information you choose to furnish online should only be used to help us provide you with the highest quality of products, services and support. We display this Privacy Policy to make you aware of the information practices for Shire’s website (the “Site”), including what type of information is gathered and tracked, how the information is used, and with whom the information is shared. We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to stay current with changes to the Site and changes in law.

Consent to Use and Transfer Personal Data

Please note that if you submit personal data through this Site, you will send it to Shire in the United States. We will collect, process and transfer your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy but possibly not in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which you reside. By submitting your personal data through this Site you consent to Shire’s collection, use, storage and transfer of your personal data to our company databases and other repositories, wherever located, including in the cloud, for the purposes for which it is submitted and in accordance with the policies set forth in this Privacy Policy.

Types of Data Collected Online

You can browse most of our Site without entering any personal information. Only general, non-personally identifiable information that Shire logs from all Site visits, such as Internet Protocol (IP) address, the type of web browser you use, referring website and pages accessed, will be collected in those instances. This means that a user’s session will be tracked, but the user will not be individually identified. There are times, however, when we or our business partners may need information from you.

Shire may collect non-personally identifiable information through the use of cookies. A cookie is a file that a website installs on your hard drive so that the site can identify you while you are using it or when you return to the website. Cookies may remain on your computers after you cease using the Site. You may decline to accept cookies by modifying your web browser settings. If you choose to do so, however, you may be unable to use all functions of the Site and the Site may operate less efficiently.

Shire may gather and store personally identifiable information that you provide us such as name, mailing address, email address, telephone or cellphone numbers. Personal information is generally submitted when you: (a) make requests for further information regarding Shire’s products or services; or (b) subscribe to newsletters, blog posts or other online services. By providing this information to Shire, you consent to our transfer of this information to our company databases and other repositories including those of third party service providers, wherever located.

Use of Data

Shire uses personal information collected on its Site for the purposes for which it is requested or as necessary or permissible under applicable law. We also may use the personal information you provide to notify you later about new developments with respect to the products and services we offer or to inform you about new products, special offers and services offered by Shire, its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates (“Shire Companies”) or by its business partners. It is important to note that you may opt out of receiving further information from Shire, as discussed below.

Specific uses of personal information that vary from this Privacy Policy (if any) may be found in the agreements applicable to a particular service or product which should be reviewed carefully. To the extent that you are notified of potential uses of your personal information that are different from those described in this Privacy Policy, the uses of information set forth in that service agreement or product agreement will supersede this Privacy Policy.

With Whom We Share Information

In the ordinary course of business, Shire will not sell, trade or rent your individual identifying information to others absent your consent to do so. Shire may share the personal data you provide online with others as described below:

Affiliated Companies, Business Partners and Agents. We work together with affiliated companies, business partners and agents who are acting on our behalf to provide various services and products to you.
Mergers and Reorganizations. In the event of a corporate reorganization, such as a merger, acquisition or sale or transfer of assets by Shire outside the normal course of business, customer information may be transferred to third parties.
Other Situations. Finally, Shire may release personal identifying information when we believe, in good faith, that such release is reasonably necessary to (i) comply with law, (ii) enforce or apply the terms of our user agreements (e.g., Shire’s Website Terms of Use), or (iii) to protect the rights, property or safety of Shire, our website users, or others.

Links

Please note that our Site may contain links to other sites. When you access a third party’s website, even one that may contain the Shire name or logo and content regarding Shire’s services and products, please understand that the website is independent of Shire. We do not control the privacy policies of any third party sites. If you click-through a banner ad or link to a third party site and submit your information, you will be subject to the privacy policies of those third parties. We assume no responsibility or liability for any third party policies or the actions of third parties. A link to a third-party website is not an endorsement.

Opt-Out

Shire will not share personal identifying information provided to us online except as stated above. All unsolicited email marketing and promotional communications from Shire contain an opportunity for you to decline future communications by “opting-out.” Shire will use reasonable efforts to comply promptly with all such requests.

Controlling Use of Your Personal Information

Although we will use commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard the privacy of your personal information, transmissions made by means of the Internet cannot be made absolutely secure. Shire assumes no liability for the disclosure of data due to errors in transmission or actions of unauthorized third parties. Shire cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us.

If you have any questions or concerns about the privacy of your information, you may send us an email at hello @shiredigital.com.
