Privacy Policy

Information Automatically Collected and Stored

As many other companies do, Angiotech measures the performance of our website in order to improve and customize it in favour of our visitors. During your visit, we may automatically collect and store the following types of information about your computer and your visit:

• The domain and host from which you access the Internet;
• The Internet address of the website from which you linked directly to the Angiotech website, if applicable;
• The date and time you arrived at our website and how long you spent on the website and which pages you visited;
• Your Internet protocol (IP) address; and
• Your computer's operating system and browser software.

Angiotech's website may deposit certain bits of information called "cookies" in a visitor's computer. Generally, a cookie assigns a unique number to the visitor that has no meaning outside the assigning site. Cookies can tell us how and when pages in a website are visited and by how many people. This technology does not collect an individual visitor's identifying information; rather, the information collected is in an aggregate, non-identifiable form. The purpose of this technology and the information it provides is to help us improve our website, products and services. Most web browsers allow the user to deny or accept the cookie feature. We may entrust third parties with the above-described information on our behalf.

Personal Information You Choose to Provide

Personally Identifiable Information ("Personal Information") is information that can be used to identify or contact you, such as your name, title, address, telephone number, email address or similar information. With respect to this website, Angiotech will only collect, store or use Personal Information, when it is voluntarily submitted to us, such as when (1) registering to access portions of this website, (2) contacting us via this website (by clicking on the "Contact Us" link), (3) requesting information about doctors in your area, or (4) submitting a question or comment or reporting a complaint related to one of our products. You may elect to limit the use of Personal Information about you by opting to do so through mechanisms that may be provided at the time that you enter that information. To "opt-out" of any consent previously granted for a specific purpose concerning your Personal Information, send an e-mail to Angiotech at webmaster@angioedupro.com. By using this website or providing information to us, you understand and consent to the collection, processing, transfer and use of your Personal Information in Canada and the United States and other countries and territories, for the purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy. Subject to applicable law, we and our Service Providers (as described below) may disclose your Personal Information:

• To unaffiliated third parties that are under contract to perform services for or on behalf of Angiotech ("Service Providers") (e.g., vendors maintaining our computer databases);
• To the acquiring party in the event of a sale, merger, liquidation or sale or transfer of the business to which such information relates;
• To other persons as permitted or required by applicable law or regulation; and
• To law enforcement personnel and other agencies, or as part of a legal process, in order to protect our property or in furtherance of an investigation regarding a breach of rules and policies governing this website, unauthorized access to or use of this website or any other illegal activities.

Any access to such Personal Information will be limited to the purpose for which such information was provided to our affiliate, subsidiary or Service Provider.
