Security

We strive to maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to safeguard the information collected by the Websites.

Each browser is different, so you should check your browser’s “Help” menu to learn how to change your cookie preferences. If you reject or block cookies from the Websites, however, the Websites may not function as intended. In addition, you may be able to exercise choices regarding companies such as online network advertisers via certain third-party tools. Please note that we make no representations regarding the functionality of such tools, and further, using such tools will not preclude the use of your data by other analytics services that we may use.  Please see Ipsen’s Cookies Policy for more information about accepting, denying, and managing Cookies on Ipsen’s Websites.

State Supplemental Privacy Policy

This State Supplemental Privacy Policy (“Supplement”) applies only to information collected about consumers of US states with comprehensive privacy legislation that requires provision of a privacy notice. It provides information required under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 and California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (collectively, the “CCPA”) (collectively, “US Privacy Laws”). 

This Supplement describes Ipsen Biopharmaceuticals, Inc.’s and its affiliates’ and subsidiaries’ (“Ipsen,” “we,” “us,” “our”) practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information and provides instructions for submitting data subject requests. This Supplement is broader in scope than our Ipsen US Privacy Policy because our Ipsen US Privacy Policy applies only to information collected through our Websites, as defined therein.

A. Definitions

  • “Personal Information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household.  Personal Information also includes “Sensitive Personal Information,” as defined below, except where otherwise noted.
  • “Sensitive Personal Information” means Personal Information that reveals a consumer’s social security, driver’s license, state identification card, or passport number; account log-in, financial account number, debit card number, or credit card number in combination with any required security or access code, password, or credentials allowing access to an account; precise geolocation; racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, or union membership; contents of email or text messages; and genetic data. Sensitive Personal Information also includes processing of biometric information for the purpose of uniquely identifying a consumer and Personal Information collected and analyzed concerning a consumer’s health, sex life, or sexual orientation.
  • “Third Party” has the meaning afforded to it in US Privacy Laws.
  • “Vendor” means a service provider or contractor as those terms are defined in US Privacy Laws.

To the extent other terms used in this Supplement are defined terms under a US Privacy Law, they shall have the meanings afforded to them in those statutes, whether or not capitalized herein. As there are some variations between such definitions in each of the US Privacy Laws, the definitions applicable to you are those provided in the statute for the state in which you are a consumer. For example, if you are a California consumer, terms used in this Supplement that are defined terms in the CCPA shall have the meanings afforded to them in the CCPA as this Supplement applies to you.
