This Privacy Policy applies to personally identifiable information collected by
Promega Corporation ("Promega") through this web site ("the Site")
or other systems and processes under Promega's control. Although
this Site provides links to third-party websites, they are not covered by this
Privacy Policy. Promega assumes no responsibility for the privacy or security of
information you provide to any third party through linked websites or any other
means.
By using this Site, you agree that you have reviewed and understood our
Terms
and Conditions of Use and this Privacy Policy to your full satisfaction, that
you accept and are subject to our Terms and Conditions of Use and this Privacy
Policy, and that Promega is permitted to use your personal information as set
forth below.
Our Privacy Policy is applicable and enforced for the Promega Corporation web site:
www.promega.com.
It is our intent to comply with
the European Union Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC and the Safe Harbor Guidelines of the U.S.
Department of Commerce.
What Personal Information We Collect
We collect contact information such as name, IP address, physical address,
title, department, telephone number, areas of interest and e-mail address.
In addition, when you visit our website, we may place a "cookie," a small
computer file, on your computer to help us recognize and serve you better when
you return. We keep this information to make it easier for you to utilize our site.
You may delete this cookie from your
computer without substantially impairing your use of our Site. We also collect
information submitted by job applicants.
How We Use Your Personal Information
Promega uses your personal information to process your requests and
transactions, offer or furnish additional products and services, personalize the
types of information you receive from Promega, assess trends in the use of our
Site or purchases of products or services, develop content and functionality
that helps us serve our customers' needs, and improve the service and products
we provide. Promega will not use your personally identifiable information in a
manner different from that stated at the time of collection without first
attempting to notify you via the last e-mail address we have in our records.
We may share your personally identifiable information with third parties that
assist us in providing our services, carrying out your account needs, or
providing you with information about their services that we believe may be of
interest to you. If we transfer personally identifiable information to a third party that is
acting as our agent, the third party will be required to protect the confidentiality
of that information. As we continue to
develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or assets, or Promega
might be acquired by another company. In any of those circumstances, personal
information in our databases may be included among the transferred assets.
We may use your personally identifiable information jointly with any of our
majority-owned subsidiaries so that they may assist us in achieving any of the
purposes of use explained above.
Promega may also use your personal information to prevent harm or injury, to
prevent fraud, to protect our legal interests, to comply with or respond to
legal process, and to comply with applicable laws.
Resumes submitted by job applicants can be viewed by our human resources
department personnel, hiring managers, employees who will be interviewing the
candidate, and the administrative assistants to these individuals for applicant
screening and hiring purposes, and for general human resources purposes.

You will have the opportunity to opt-out of receiving communications from us
when we first request your information. Also, in our e-mail communications you

databases by contacting us at the address listed below or by using the
Privacy Information Request form.
To honor your request, we will need the exact information you want removed and

Security
We have physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect personal
information we collect online, including the use of passwords to gain access to
your information. To protect your privacy and security, you must keep your
password confidential. However, even with such measures, no one is able to
guarantee that unauthorized third parties will not be able to bypass these
measures or otherwise capture information you provide over the internet.
Data Integrity
We will take reasonable steps to see that the personal information in our
systems is relevant for its intended use, accurate, complete, and current.
Enforcement
Promega will conduct periodic reviews of compliance to verify that this Privacy
Policy is accurate, comprehensive, prominently displayed, complete, implemented,

disciplinary action.
Special Rules Applicable to Data Collected or Processed in the European Union
This Privacy Policy applies to all personally identifiable data that is subject
to the European Union's Data Protection Directive 95/46 EC and that is
transferred to the United States, even if not collected at this Site. Promega
has enrolled in the Safe Harbor System established by the U.S. Department of
Commerce to meet the requirements of the European Commission's Directive on Data
Protection.
Onward transfers will be permitted only to other persons or entities who have
agreed to provide a continuing adequate level of protection through
participation in the Safe Harbor program or one of the other means permitted
under EU Directive 95/46 EC and implementing Member State laws.
If you have any concern or complaint regarding Promega’s compliance with the
Safe Harbor Principles, please contact Promega where indicated below.
Promega will investigate your concern or complaint and will attempt to
resolve the matter with you. For complaints that cannot be resolved between
Promega and the person making the complaint, Promega will cooperate with
the European Data Protection Authorities as an independent recourse mechanism
available to investigate unresolved complaints.
