This Notice applies to Personal Data collected or processed by us from or about US residents: 

  • Through online activities and services we offer (through websites, web surveys, newsletters, applications, email, online messaging services/channels, and otherwise) (“Online Services”); 

  • Related to activities we undertake in recruiting participants for participation in clinical trials or activities related to identifying and contracting with study investigators and their staff; 

  • In connection with post-approval pharmacovigilance and adverse events, complaints, and reports;

Roche may provide you with a different privacy notice in certain specific situations, in which case that privacy notice or policy will apply to the Personal Information collected or processed in that specific situation, rather than this one. For example, if you are a participant in a clinical study, clinical trial, or other regulated health-related research, you should receive a separate privacy notice regarding the Personal Data we process for those purposes. That privacy notice—and not this Notice— governs our processing of such Personal Data. If you provide us with Personal Data of anyone other than yourself (such as a patient or family member), please note that you are responsible for complying with all applicable privacy and data protection laws prior to providing that information to Roche (including obtaining consent, if required). 

Please review this Notice carefully. To the extent permitted by applicable law, by providing us your Personal Data or otherwise interacting with us, you are agreeing to this Notice.

To the extent your Personal Data constitutes “Consumer Health Data,” the categories of Consumer Health Data being collected; the manner in which it will be used; the categories of sources from which it is collected; the categories of third parties and affiliates with whom it is being shared; the purposes of collecting, using and sharing it; and the manner in which it will be processed are all provided in the “Your Personal Data” section of this Notice (primarily as “Information regarding your treatment”).  Additional information about Roche’s activities can be found in the “Marketing, Cookies and Tracking” and “Third Parties” sections of this Notice.

To the extent that the state in which you live requires us to provide certain rights to you in connection with your Consumer Health Data, we will provide the following rights to you based on your state’s law:

  • To request our confirmation that we are collecting, sharing, or selling your Consumer Health Data;
  • To request to review and to make changes to any of your Consumer Health Data;
  • To request that we delete your Consumer Health Data;
  • To request a list of all third parties with whom we have shared or sold your Consumer Health Data;
  • To request that we stop collecting, sharing, or selling your Consumer Health Data;

To exercise any of these rights, follow the procedure explained in the “Your Rights Regarding Your Personal Data” section of this Notice.

A third party may collect Consumer Health Data over time and across different websites or online services when you use any of our websites or Online Services.  For more information, see the“Marketing, Cookies and Tracking” and “Third Parties” sections of this Notice.

This Section (and the Notice more generally) is effective as of the “Last Updated” date above.  We will notify you of changes to this Section (and the Notice more generally) as described in the “Changes to this Privacy Notice” section.

Marketing, Cookies, and Tracking 

Marketing Uses, Cookies, and Other Activities

To the extent permitted by applicable law, including in accordance with your consent where required by applicable law, we may engage in the following activities: 

  • We may use your contact details to contact you to determine whether you would like to initiate a business relationship with us or to send you marketing emails. If you do not wish to receive such marketing emails, you may opt out by declining to receive such emails when registering or in our subsequent communications by following opt-out or unsubscribe instructions included in the email or at other information collection points on the Online Services. 

  • We may display advertisements to you regarding Products and Services that we believe are relevant to you based on your activities on the Online Services or on other web or digital properties. Such advertisements may be shown on our Online Services or the online services of others. We achieve this by using, and allowing third parties (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn) to use certain cookies, eTags, pixels, web beacons, and other tracking technologies to track your activities on our Online Services and other online services. For more information about these activities and how to manage or opt out of them, please click on the "Your Privacy Choices" link at the bottom of our website.  

  • We may make customer offers to you based on your activities across different Online Services, including activities on other web or digital properties or your other interactions with Roche that are not via the Online Services (e.g., regional offers based on the location of your office listed on order forms). 

  • We also perform statistical analyses of the users of our Online Services to improve the functionality, content, design, and navigation of the Online Services. 

Processing Using Website Tracking

On certain of our websites, we use Google Analytics, to help us understand how users engage with this and other of our websites. Google Analytics may track your activity on our sites (i.e., the pages you have seen and the links you have clicked on) and helps us measure how you interact with the content that we provide. This information is used to compile reports and to help us improve the sites. The reports we receive disclose website trends without identifying individual visitors. You can learn about Google’s practices by going to www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/, and exercise the opt-out provided by Google by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or clicking on the "Your Privacy Choices" link at bottom of our website. 

Do-Not-Track Signals

Certain web browsers and other programs may transmit “opt-out” signals, also called a Global Privacy Control (or GPC) signal (we refer to these as “GPC Signals”), to websites with which the browser communicates.  In most cases you will need to change your web browser’s settings or add an application to your web browser to enable your browser to send a GPC Signal. Roche’s websites will recognize GPC Signals for website users differently, based on the location of the user when they access our websites.  For users that access our websites from U.S. states that have laws requiring recognition of GPC Signals, we will recognize and apply the GPC Signal to inactivate all of the cookies for that website, except for cookies that are necessary for the website to operate (“Strictly Necessary Cookies”).  Additionally, if you are accessing our websites from one of these states, you can determine if your browser GPC Signal has been recognized by clicking on the “Your Privacy Choices” link in the footer of the website that will include a short message at the top of the preference center indicating that your GPC Signal has been received.  For users from states not currently requiring recognition of the GPC Signal, our website servers may recognize and apply the GPC Signal for only targeted advertising cookies, but will not apply the GPC Signal to functional, performance or social media cookies. Further, a specific GPC Signal acknowledgement notice will not be included in the preference center, but you can always check and adjust your cookie settings by going to the Your Privacy Choices link in the footer of this website.

Behavioral Advertising

Where allowed by law, as described above, we use your Personal Data to provide you with targeted advertisements or marketing communications we believe may be of interest to you. In some jurisdictions, you may have the right to opt out of these types of targeted advertisements.  See the Opt-out of Sale or Sharing or Processing of Sensitive Data section below to do so.

For more information about how targeted advertising works, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s (“NAI”) educational page by going to http://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/how-does-it-work.

You can opt out of some targeted advertising using the below links:

Additionally, you can opt-out of some of these services by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out portal at:  http://optout.aboutads.info/.

Opt-out of Sale,  Sharing, Targeted Advertising, or Limit the Use of Sensitive Data

Certain of Roche’s practices may be considered the sale or sharing of Personal Data under applicable law. You may have the right to opt-out of the sale of Personal Data, opt-out of sharing of Personal Data for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising, which in other states is the right to opt-out of targeted advertising, and the right to limit the use of sensitive Personal Data. To exercise these rights, please see the “Your Rights Regarding Your Personal Data” section below.  

Interactive Features of our Websites

To the extent we offer any public or group forums on our Products and Services, such as newsfeeds, blogs, message boards, or similar tools (“Interactive Features”), the posts or comments you make may be public and viewed by others. You should use care before posting information about yourself, including Personal Data. You acknowledge and understand that you have no expectation of privacy or confidentiality in the content you submit to Interactive Features over the Products and Services. Except when required to do so by applicable law, we assume no obligation to remove Personal Data you post on our Products and Services, and your disclosure of any Personal Data through the Interactive Features is at your own risk.

Notice of Financial Incentive

Roche offers certain programs that may provide discounts or savings on products and services (“Program(s)”), that provide individuals who enroll with personalized and/or bundled product discounts, product vouchers, promotional opportunities, and/or other benefits (“Program Benefits”). Program participants opt in by signing up for a Program online. Roche collects and uses your personal information, including information you voluntarily provide us (such as your name and email address), commercial information (such as your purchase history), information we collect automatically, and information from other sources to operate the Program and related services, including to send you Program Benefits and the other uses described in this Privacy Notice.

Based on our reasonable and good faith estimate, Roche receives value from the Program through increased customer loyalty and increased sales, but we do not assign a actual monetary value to the personal information we collect in connection with the Program. Further, the precise value of your participation in the Program will vary depending on the discounts you take advantage of and purchases you make, as well as other factors. Some benefits to you may also be intangible, such as increased knowledge of and familiarity with products that you may get from participating in the Program. In general, however, Roche estimates in good faith that the value provided by Program Benefits to customers is equal to or greater than the value we receive from the personal information collected from you through the Program. Roche incurs a variety of expenses for providing Program Benefits, including administrative and technical expenses associated with maintaining the Program and costs associated with discounts on purchases.

Participation in the Program and the financial incentives it provides are voluntary. By providing your personal information when signing up for the Program, you are affirmatively opting-in to our financial incentive Program. You may unsubscribe from Program emails you receive at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in the emails.

Third Parties

Service providers acting on our behalf must execute agreements requiring them to maintain confidentiality and to process Personal Data as necessary to perform their functions in a manner consistent with this Notice, other applicable privacy notices, and as explicitly permitted or required by applicable laws, rules, and regulations. 

Combination of Data with Data Received from Third Parties

We may combine information we collect, including Personal Data, with Personal Data that we may obtain from third parties.

Safeguarding Information

Consistent with applicable laws and requirements, Roche has put in place physical, technical, and administrative safeguards designed to protect Personal Data from loss, misuse, alteration, theft, unauthorized access, and unauthorized disclosure consistent with legal obligations and industry practices.

How Long Your Personal Data Will Be Retained

We generally retain Personal Data for as long as needed for the specific business purpose or purposes for which it was collected. In some cases, we may be required to retain Personal Data for a longer period of time by law or for other necessary business purposes. Whenever possible, we aim to de-identify the information or otherwise remove some or all information that may identify you from records that we may need to keep for periods beyond the specified retention period.

Special Note to Patients

If you are a patient, please note that this Notice is distinct from your Healthcare Provider’s HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, which describes how your Healthcare Provider uses and discloses individually identifiable information about your health that it collects, as well as any other privacy practices it applies. Roche collects, uses, and discloses any Personal Data it receives from your Healthcare Provider in accordance with its HIPAA-required agreements with your Healthcare Provider.
