Only on an anonymous and aggregated basis, we evaluate such information as which of our web sites are favoured, the number of daily visits etc. Like many other companies we make use of so-called cookies in order to design our web presence as convenient as possible. Cookies are small text files which enable the recognition of the user so that you do not have to reregister each time you visit our pages.

This website uses retargeting technology to generate a more compelling user experience. Once you have visited our website, the technology allows us to keep in touch with you by showing you ads on third party websites. We are convinced that personalized ads are more interesting to you than generic banner advertisement campaigns. The delivery of personalized ads on partner websites is accomplished by using cookies and analyzing user behaviour on our website. User behaviour information is collected pseudonymously. No personally-identifiable information is collected in this process, neither do we connect your personal data with pseudonymous information.
You can object to this kind of advertising by blocking Google cookies (see paragraph 4) in your browser settings or by deleting all cookies manually after you have visited our website. The NAI website (http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp) allows you to opt-out of behavioural advertising for certain ad networks.
To display personalized ads on partner websites via retargeting technology (described in paragraph 6), our partners need to place third-party cookies on our website. Only pseudonymous information is used in this process. You can object to retargeting ads by following the opt-out link mentioned in the previous paragraph.
As a matter of course, your data will not be sold to third parties. LifeSct exclusively transmits your personal data to the following extent:
If you would like to purchase or sell antibodies or related products via the LifeSct web sites, we will transmit your personal data to the respective contractual partner (buyer or seller) for the purpose of processing the contract. We maintain the right to transmit your personal data to companies connected to Lifest which are controlled by LifeSct Biotechnologies. These companies are either subject to this privacy policy or ensure a privacy policy which is at least as effective. If you sell products via partner companies which are not controlled by LifeSct, in individual cases it can be necessary that we also transmit your personal data to these companies for the purpose of selling your products.
Additionally it might occur that we assign other companies or individual people with the completion of particular tasks and services. For example we assign service providers with the analysis and usage of our Internet services and the transaction of payments (credit card, direct debit and purchase on account). These service providers only have access to your data to the extent which is necessary for the completion of their tasks. These service providers are obliged to treat you data according to this privacy policy and the relevant data protection statutes.
In the case that LifeSct, companies controlled by LifeSct Biotechnologies, particular affiliated companies or shares of the company are sold, your customer information will generally be passed on with the transmitted part of the company. Of course, in this case your data is also subject to this privacy policy and the relevant data protection statutes.
