This privacy policy describes Genaxis current policies and practices with regard to
personal data collected through this Website.
This privacy policy does not apply to information collected offline or in
any other way. The term “personal
data” refers to personally identifiable information about you, such as your

that identifies you personally.
YOUR CONSENT
By using this web site, you consent to our use of your personal data as described in

PERSONAL DATA COLLECTED THROUGH THIS WEB SITE
The only personal data Genaxis currently collects through this Website is the

This includes, for example, the information you provide when you
subscribe to our RSS feed, post article comments, sign up for another program or
service we offer, or when you send us your comments or requests for information.
Genaxis uses the information you provide for the purposes for which it was originally
collected, for example, to respond to your e-mail or provide the programs or
services you requested. Genaxis also
uses this information to help us improve the content and functionality of our
Website, to better understand the needs and interests of the people and
organizations that use our Website, and to improve our programs and services. Genaxis may use this information to
contact you in the future to tell you about organizations, programs, services,
and other things we believe will be of interest to you.
Genaxis may share the personal information you provide to us with consultants and
other third parties who act for or on behalf of the Genaxis, for further
processing or analysis. In addition, there may be some other, limited
circumstances in which Genaxis may share or transfer the personal information in
its databases, for example, to comply with a legal requirement, for the
administration of justice, to protect your vital interests, to protect the
security or integrity of our databases or this Website, to take precautions
against legal liability, or in the event of a corporate merger, reorganization,
dissolution or similar event.
ANONYMOUS DATA COLLECTED THROUGH THIS WEB SITE
In addition to the information you provide when you use our web site, Genaxis uses
technology to collect anonymous information about the use of our Website. For
example, we use technology to track how many visitors access our Website, the
date and time of their visit, the length of their stay, and which pages they
view. We also use technology to determine
which web browsers our visitors use and the address from which they accessed our
site.
This technology does not identify you personally.
It simply enables us to compile statistics about our visitors and their
use of our site. Genaxis uses this
anonymous data and shares it with third-parties for various reasons, for
example, to improve the content and functionality of our website, to better
understand the needs and interests of our visitors, to improve our programs and
services.
COOKIES
In order to collect the anonymous data described in the preceding paragraph, Genaxis
may use temporary “cookies” that collect the first level domain name of the user
(for example, if your e-mail address is “name@xyz.com,” the cookie collects the
“xyz.com” portion of your e-mail address) and the date and time you accessed
this web site. Cookies by themselves
cannot be used to discover the identity of the user.
A cookie is a small piece of information
which is sent to your browser and stored on your computer’s hard drive.
Cookies do not damage your computer. You
can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie. This enables you
to decide if you want to accept it or not. In
order for certain applications on this Website to function properly, if at all,
it is necessary for your computer to accept cookies.
USE OF IP ADDRESSES
An Internet Protocol (IP) address
is a set of numbers that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you
log on to your internet service provider or through your organisation's local
area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN). Web servers automatically
identify your computer by the IP address assigned to it during your session
online.
Genaxis may collect IP addresses
for the purposes of systems administration and to audit the use of our site. We do not ordinarily link a user's IP
address to personally identifiable information of that user, which means each
user's session will be logged, but the user remains anonymous to us.
However, we may use IP addresses to
identify users of our site when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance
with the site's terms of use, or to protect our service, site or other users.
LINKS TO OTHER SITES
This privacy policy applies only to this Website. This site contains many hyperlinks
to Websites that are not operated by Genaxis. These
hyperlinks are provided for your reference and convenience only and do not imply
any endorsement of the activities of these third-party web sites or any
association with their operators. Genaxis
does not control these web sites and is not responsible for their data
practices. We urge you to review the
privacy policy posted on any site you visit before using the site or providing
any personal data about yourself.
GOVERNING LAW

be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
Malaysia.
QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR PRIVACY POLICY

uses personal data, please contact us.

INFORMATION SHARING
Genaxis only shares personal
information with other companies or individuals outside of Genaxis in the
following limited circumstances:
- We have your
consent. We require opt-in consent for
the sharing of any sensitive personal information.
- We provide such
information to our subsidiaries, affiliated companies or other trusted
businesses or persons for the purpose of processing personal information on our
behalf. We require that these parties
agree to process such information based on our instructions and in compliance
with this Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security
measures.
- We have a good
faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of such information is
reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal
process or enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce applicable Terms of
Service, including investigation of potential violations thereof, (c) detect,
prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, or (d)
protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of Genaxis, its users or
the public as required or permitted by law.
If Genaxis becomes involved in a
merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of its assets, we will
ensure the confidentiality of any personal information involved in such
transactions and provide notice before personal information is transferred and
becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
We may share with third parties
certain pieces of aggregated, non-personal information, such as the number of
users who searched for a particular term, for example, or how many users clicked
on a particular advertisement. Such information does not identify you
individually.
INFORMATION SECURITY
We take appropriate security
measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration,
disclosure or destruction of data. These
include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing
practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard
against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data.
We restrict access to personal
information to Genaxis employees, contractors and agents who need to know that
information in order to operate, develop or improve our services.
These individuals are bound by
confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including
termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.
DATA INTEGRITY
Genaxis processes personal
information only for the purposes for which it was collected and in accordance
with this Privacy Policy or any applicable service-specific privacy notice. We review our data collection,
storage and processing practices to ensure that we only collect, store and
process the personal information needed to provide or improve our services or as
otherwise permitted under this Policy.
We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we
process is accurate, complete, and current, but we depend on our users to update
or correct their personal information whenever necessary.
ACCESSING AND UPDATING PERSONAL INFORMATION
When you use Genaxis services, we
make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your personal information
and either to correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete such data at
your request if it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for
legitimate business purposes. We ask
individual users to identify themselves and the information requested to be
accessed, corrected or removed before processing such requests, and we may
decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic,
require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or
would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information
residing on backup tapes), or for which access is not otherwise required. In any
case where we provide information access and correction, we perform this service
free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort.
Some of our services have different
procedures to access, correct or delete users’ personal information.
ENFORCEMENT
Genaxis regularly reviews its
compliance with this Privacy Policy. Please
feel free to direct any questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy or
Genaxis’ treatment of personal information by contacting us through this web
site or by writing to us at:
[Please provide
Company Address]
When we receive formal written
complaints at this address, it is Genaxis’ policy to contact the complaining
user regarding his or her concerns. We
will cooperate with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data
protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of
personal data that cannot be resolved between Genaxis and an individual.
CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
Genaxis is continually improving and adding new functionality and features to this
web site. Because of these ongoing changes, changes in the law and the changing
nature of technology, the data practices of Genaxis will change from time to
time.
We reserve the right to change the terms of this Privacy Policy at any time without
notice. Any changes will be posted on this page and visitors are encouraged to
check this page regularly. Your
continued use of the Website following any changes to this Privacy Policy will
constitute your acceptance of such changes.
We will not reduce your rights
under this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent, and we expect most such
changes will be minor. Regardless, we will post any Privacy Policy changes on
this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent
notice (including, for certain services, email notification of Privacy Policy
changes). Each version of this Privacy
Policy will be identified at the top of the page by its effective date, and we
will also keep prior versions of this Privacy Policy in an archive for
your review.
