The legal basis for the processing of your Usage and Analytics Information when we do website analytics, is your consent and/or our legitimate business interests.
HOW WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA
This Privacy Policy describes the circumstances in which we may share your Personal Information. We may share your Personal Information with our subsidiaries and affiliated companies to exchange information and maintain databases in different countries and, in fact, this Policy is applicable to our subsidiaries and affiliates.

We will process information with our service providers helping us to operate our Website
We will process personal information with the assistance of our service providers that assist us with the operations of the Website. These companies are authorized to use your Personal Information in this context to provide these services to us and not for their own promotional purposes.
We will share Personal Information with competent authorities, if you abuse your right to use the Website or violate any applicable law
If you have abused your rights to use the Website (as determined by us), or if you violated, or appear to be likely to violate, any applicable law, we will share information with competent authorities and with third parties (such as legal counsels and advisors) for the purpose of handling of the violation or breach. Our legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in defending and enforcing against violations and breaches that are harmful, or potentially harmful, to our business, our personnel, or third-parties.
We will share your Personal Information if we are legally required
We may disclose and/or share your Personal Information to comply with legal or regulatory obligations (including, but not limited to, to comply with a court order, judicial subpoena, other subpoena, or warrant), industry standards, judicial process, and our policies, as well as to protect against, identify, investigate, prevent and respond to fraud, illegal activity (such as identifying and responding to incidents of hacking or misuse of our Website), and claims and other liabilities.
If we deem the information you provide to be safety information or a product complaint about our medications, we will use the information in order to meet our legal obligations. Reporting a safety issue relating to our medication is beneficial for the protection of public health because it helps us to investigate and address an issue that may be relevant to the health of other members of the public who use our medications. We may follow-up directly with you in order to gain more information about the safety or product issue you informed us about.
Our legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in complying with mandatory legal requirements imposed on us.

SECURITY AND DATA RETENTION
We will retain your Personal Information for as long as we need it for business purposes or per legal obligation
We will store your Personal Information for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, as explained in this Privacy Policy.

In some circumstances we may store your Personal Information for longer periods of time; for instance, where we are required to do so in accordance with legal, regulatory, tax, or accounting requirements.
We implement measures to secure your Personal Information
We take security very seriously. We have implemented and maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures, policies, and procedures designed to reduce the risk of accidental destruction or loss, or the unauthorized disclosure or access to such information appropriate to the nature of the information concerned and our business. However, these measures may not provide absolute information security. Therefore, although efforts are made to secure personal information, it is not guaranteed, and you cannot expect that the Website will be immune from information security risks.
INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
We will internationally transfer Personal Information in accordance with applicable data protection laws
We operate globally. In particular, we have a presence in Israel and the United States. Accordingly, your Personal Information may be transferred and stored in other countries that are subject to different standards of data protection. Recipients of your Personal Information may be in countries that do not provide the same standard of legal protection for your Personal Information as in your country.
We will, however, take appropriate steps to ensure that transfers of Personal Information are made in accordance with applicable law, and carefully managed to protect your privacy rights and interests and limited to countries that are recognized as providing an adequate level of legal protection, or where we can be satisfied that alternative arrangements are in place to protect your privacy rights.
