Information Collection and Use

MedImmune measures the performance of its Web sites in order to determine how we can improve and expand upon the content and services we provide. We have designed our Web sites so that you are not required to provide any personally identifiable information unless you are requesting access to certain options and services. We, along with our third party partners engaged to provide marketing and advertising on our behalf, only collect personally identifiable information that you voluntarily provide to us. You may choose at any time not to provide personally identifiable information, although this may restrict our ability to provide requested services or information.

The following is personally identifiable information that you may volunteer to provide to us and examples of how we use such information:

  • Registration: If you complete a registration form on our Web site, including any forms required to submit your personally identifiable information for employment opportunities, we will use the personally identifiable information in such forms to process your request for services and information. Personally identifiable information may also be used if you request to receive certain information via fax or email. We may use this information to send you a welcome email; to verify your username and password; to provide information about Web site updates, special offers; and to provide other responsive information to the data you share with us. Additionally, we may refer to your personally identifiable information to better understand your needs and how we can improve our Web sites.

We gather certain information about the use of our Web site by our visitors. This information is then compiled and analyzed in a way that does not identify our visitors personally.
