To affiliated entities. We may share personal information with our affiliated companies, including Eisai Co. Ltd. (our parent company in Japan), and with any other companies within the Eisai group of companies.
To our service providers. We may share personal information with service providers who provide us with services, such as data analysis; payment processing; order fulfillment; infrastructure provision; IT services; legal services; customer service; email delivery services; credit card processing; and other similar services. We grant our service providers access to personal information only to the extent needed for them to perform their functions and require them to protect the confidentiality and security of such personal information.
To our commercial and collaboration partners. We may share personal information with unaffiliated third parties who partner with us to deliver a Service or on our commercial or research activities. Depending on the choices you’ve made and the nature of the joint activity, these third parties may contact you regarding Eisai-related products, programs, services and promotions that may be of interest to you.
As part of business transfers or assignments. In the event of any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture or collaboration, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets or stock (including without limitation in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings), we may transfer any and all personal information that we collect to a third party. We may also share certain personal information as necessary prior to the completion of such a transaction, such as to lenders, auditors, and third-party advisors, including attorneys and consultants, as part of due diligence or as necessary to plan for the transaction.

We may disclose or make available to third-party platforms and providers personal information that we use to provide or make available certain features or portions of the Services, or as necessary to respond to your requests.

Where we plan to maintain information in deidentified form, we will not attempt to reidentify you or anyone else from this data, except in order to determine whether our deidentification and anonymization processes are reasonable and adequate pursuant to applicable privacy laws. If we do re-identify any such data and therefore create personal information, we will treat the resulting personal information as such, in accordance with this Policy.

INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING (IBA) AND MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

In order to provide you with information about products and services in which you have expressed an interest, we may use certain of the personal information we have collected about you, or we may engage service providers to use your personal information, to deliver advertising to you about such products and services. For example, we may partner with advertising companies that may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser (including through the use of pixel tags), or use other technologies, to serve you ads based on your web browsing activity, purchases, interests and/or other information. This practice is commonly referred to as interest-based advertising (IBA) or online behavioral advertising. Advertising companies may also use these types of technologies to recognize you across the devices you use, such as a mobile phone or a laptop, and serve you ads on websites you visit and applications you use.

EISAI’S RECRUITING AND ONBOARDING PORTAL/SITE.

Eisai operates a talent recruiting and onboarding portal and website (“career portal/site”) to support Eisai’s recruitment efforts. This section of the Policy applies only to the career portal/site.

Any employment offer that may result from your submitting information in response to a job opening listed on the career portal/site is in accordance with the specific terms of that offer and isn’t based in any way on the description of the job on the career portal/site. Except as otherwise prohibited by law, nothing on the career portal/site shall be construed as a contract of employment or as a guarantee of continued employment or employment for any specific duration. Employment with Eisai is "at will." That means that if you are hired, either you or Eisai can separate your employment at any time without notice or cause.

Personal information you submit through the career portal/site may include, but isn’t limited to: name; log-in and password, for users of the career portal/site; telephone number; email address; mailing address; age; date of birth; gender; Social Security number; driver’s license number; CV, résumé, cover letter, previous work experience and education information; employment preferences; willingness to relocate; desired salary; professional and other work-related licenses, permits and certifications held; language and other relevant skills; awards and professional memberships; eligibility to work in the United States; and available start date. We do not require, but you may voluntarily choose to provide, other relevant information as part of your application.

We would prefer that you avoid submitting the following sensitive information, except where such information is legally required, or needed for us to comply with our legal obligations and internal policies relating to diversity and anti-discrimination: medical or health conditions; sexual orientation; race; ethnic origin; religious or philosophical beliefs; marital status; trade union membership; creed; nationality; national origin; and/or color.

The information that you submit in the career portal/site will be stored in the United States. It may be accessed, collected, used, transferred and disclosed by employees, consultants and/or service providers of Eisai around the world for Eisai’s recruitment functions and for related management and planning purposes, including, as permitted by local law, to: process your application; assess your capabilities and qualifications for a job; provide you with any services available on the career portal/site from time to time; communicate with you; comply with any applicable law or regulation; compile internal reports, including diversity and distribution metrics; and monitor and record services whether provided by a Eisai company or a third party.

Personal information you submit through the career portal/site will be added to Eisai’s candidate database and will be used for the purposes of considering whether your profile is suitable for other job vacancies at Eisai. If we elect to make you an offer, personal information you submit may be incorporated into our human resources system and used to manage the new-hire process. If you become an employee, any personal information that you submit may become part of your employment file and may be used for other employment/work-related purposes as permitted by local law. Personal information you submit through the career portal/site will be reviewed by Eisai employees or agents who have a business need to access such personal information. This may include recruiters, human resources personnel, technical services personnel and managers.

We may share personal information you provide as part of your application with selected service providers or consultants acting on our behalf, such as third parties assisting Eisai with the operation of the career portal/site and the storage of information collected on the career portal/site. Any such third party will be required to use appropriate measures to protect the confidentiality and security of personal information which are no less protective that those set out in this Policy.

If you provide any personal information through any such third-party website, your transaction will occur on such third party’s website and the personal information you provide will be collected by, and controlled by the privacy policy of, that third party. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the privacy policies and practices of any such third parties, which aren’t governed by this Privacy Policy.

SECURITY

However, no data transmission over the Internet or data storage system can be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure. Please do not send us information you consider confidential via email.

DATA TRANSFERS

Any personal information you provide to us may be stored and processed, transferred between and accessed from the United States (including our group companies and our external IT service providers), Japan and other countries which may not guarantee the same level of protection of personal information as the one in which you reside.
