How We Use Personal Data
“Company” uses the personal data we collect from you or about you for two primary purposes:
to operate our business and provide you with the products and services we offer and you purchase; and
to communicate with you, including through our efforts to promote, educate and make you aware of our business, products, and services.
In carrying out these purposes, we use the personal data that we collect to provide you with a better customer experience and to provide you with access to our products and services. For example, if you are logged into your account and browse certain types of laboratory equipment or a certain grade of chemicals, we can use that information and other information associated with your account to make recommendations or inform you when new products that you may be interested in are available. We may also use provide information about the products you viewed on our website to our sales personnel so they can determine if you are interested in purchasing those products. As another example, if you and other customers in the same geographic area order a high volume of a certain product or service, we can make sure that we have adequate stocks of that product or adequate resources to fulfil that service in that geographic area.
Providing and improving our products and services. We use data to provide and improve the products and services that we offer and to perform operations that are essential to our business. This includes sourcing, manufacturing and distributing the products, maintaining and improving the performance of the products, developing new products, conducting research, providing customer support, and developing and improving services. Examples of such uses include the following:
Providing products and services. We use data to carry out your transactions with us and to provide our products and services to you.
Customer support. We use data to repair, replace, or refund products or services, provide required regulatory information, and provide other customer support services.
Product and service improvement. We use data to improve the performance of our products and services and to develop new products and services. For example, we use warranty claims to identify manufacturing errors and work with our suppliers to remedy those claims and develop improved products.
Business operations. We use data to develop, aggregate, and analyze information so we can operate and make informed decisions about our business.
Communications. We use the data that we collect from you to communicate with you and personalize our communications with you. For example, we may contact you by e‐mail or other means to remind you that you placed products in your online shopping cart and those products are ready for purchase, to notify you when a product that you frequently purchase has been updated or improved or when we have special pricing on products you have shown an interest in, to update you on the status of your order, to invite you to participate in a survey, or to send you a publication relevant to your areas of professional interest.
Marketing. We use data we collect through our business interactions with you and through our websites to market products and services. For example:
We may use your data to select and deliver additional information about products and services that you might be interested in.
We may share aggregated and anonymous data we collect with third parties to help us analyze product and service purchases so we can more effectively market products that you may want to purchase.
The marketing and promotional items that you see may be selected based on data we have collected about you, such as your professional interests, your transactions, or the content you view while logged into our websites. For example, if you are interested in chromatography, we may market chromatography products and services to you.
Why We Share Personal Data
We share your personal data with your consent or as necessary to complete the transactions that you initiated with us so that we can provide the products and services that you requested or authorized. For example, we share your name, delivery address, and other relevant contact information with third parties, such as our suppliers, when you order products from us that are shipped directly from the supplier’s facility to you. We also share your name, delivery address, and other relevant information with our subcontractors that provide services to you that you ordered through us. Also, when you provide payment data to make a purchase, we will share payment data with banks and third‐party payment processors so that we can receive payment and to protect you and us from fraud and credit risk.
In addition, we share personal data among “Company”‐controlled affiliates and subsidiaries so that we can provide products and services to you or your organization across the globe. We also share personal data with our vendors or other third parties that work on our behalf in ways that are consistent with the purposes described in this Privacy Statement. For example, we have entered into contracts with companies to store and secure data in their facilities or to provide software to help us run and manage the data generated by our business. The data that these companies store, secure, and help us manage contains your personal data. These companies must agree to follow data privacy protections and security requirements imposed by law and by the contracts that we have signed with these companies, and they cannot use the personal data that they receive from us for any other purpose other than the specific purposes related to our business. We may also disclose personal data as part of a corporate transaction such as a merger or sale of assets.
Finally, we will access, transfer, disclose, and preserve personal data when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to comply with applicable law or respond to a valid legal process, including from law enforcement or other government agencies; to help prevent the loss of life or serious injury of anyone; and other reasons permitted by data privacy laws.
Many processing activities that we conduct on your personal data are done with your consent. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. We request that you send an e‐mail to the e‐mail address in this Privacy Statement in order to revoke your consent. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed, and any data processed as part of performance of a contract to which you are a party or that is processed for the purposes of legitimate interests will also still be processed.
