By using West’s systems, tools, forms or websites, you agree and consent to the transfer, processing, use, and disclosure of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.
What we collect
We collect personal data that you provide to us, which is information that identifies you as an individual. You may raise questions about the processing of your personal data at any time by contacting us (see the “Contact us” section below).
This personal data may include your name, postal address, telephone number, e-mail address, or other information provided by you so that you may receive information about West, register for West programs, contact West customer service, request a Letter of Authorization for reference to a Drug Master File, respond to West surveys, make purchases from West's Online Store or for reasons related to West’s legitimate business interests of improving and enhancing our products and services. To the extent you use this website to apply for employment with West, we will collect personal data in accordance with the privacy statement on our job applicant site available here.
We may also collect information about your visits to West websites without you actively submitting such information. For example, unidentifiable information may be collected using various technologies such as cookies. Your internet browser automatically transmits to our websites some of this unidentifiable information, such as the URL of the website you just visited and the browser version on which your computer is operating. Passive information collection technologies can make your use of our websites easier by allowing us to provide better service, customize sites based on preferences, compile statistics, analyze trends, and otherwise administer and improve our websites. Certain features of our websites may not work without use of passive information collection technologies. Information collected by these technologies cannot be used to identify you without additional identifiable information.
How we use personal data
West may use personal data that you agree to provide to us to respond to your queries, to provide information or access to online resources you have requested, to complete your purchases, or to provide you with efficient customer service. West may also use personal data to market products and services that we think may be of interest to you, but only in accordance with local privacy and e-marketing laws, to enforce compliance with this website’s terms of use or to protect our products, services, websites or other users.

We also automatically collect information about your computer browser type and operating system, websites you visited before and after visiting our websites, standard server log information, and Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.
How we protect your personal data
When handling your personal data, we take reasonable measures to protect that information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. In the event that we are required by law to inform you of any unauthorized access to your personal information we may notify you electronically, in writing, or by telephone, if permitted to do so by law.
How we protect West’s assets
We utilize data loss prevention technologies to reduce exposure to data loss and leakage risks by monitoring outbound data to guard against theft, accidental loss and deliberate exposure risks.
When we may transfer your personal data
We will not sell, share, or otherwise distribute your personal data to third parties except as provided in this Privacy Policy.
Personal data collected from you may also be transferred in the following situations:
1. Corporate affiliates. West is a global group of companies that has databases in different countries. We may transfer your data to other West affiliates worldwide or to one of the company’s databases outside your country of domicile, potentially to countries whose laws may not require the same level of protection for your personal data compared with that provided in your country. Such West affiliates agree to treat your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. West has entered into controller to controller Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) globally which govern and protect the transfer of data between West entities.

3. Acquisitions and corporate change. Personal data may be transferred to a third party in the event that West or a part of it and the customer data connected with it is sold, assigned or transferred, in which case we would require the buyer, assignee or transferee to treat personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Personal data may also be sold in the event that we contemplate, anticipate, or are exploring such a transfer.
4. Legal reasons.Personal data may be disclosed in response to subpoenas, warrants, discovery requests, or court orders, or in connection with any legal process, or to comply with relevant laws. We may also share your information in order to establish or exercise our rights, to defend against a legal claim, to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding possible illegal activities, suspected fraud, safety of person or property, or a violation of our policies.
5. Other disclosures with your consent. Personal data may be disclosed in other situations in which you provide us with the consent for the disclosure.
In order to protect the transfer of personal data from countries deemed to have adequate safeguards in place to a third party located in a country deemed not to have adequate safeguards in place, West uses adequate safeguarding mechanisms, such as the Standard Contractual Clauses.
