2. Personal information
When a user creates a Lonza account, the user will be required to provide certain personal information (including, without limitation, your full name, email address, account name, account password or other payment information). Lonza may take this information and integrate it with other information submitted by the user, other information in the possession of Lonza or other information from third parties in order to provide the richest user experience while using the Services. While Lonza takes appropriate measures to provide accuracy in the handling of personal information, Lonza relies entirely on its users to maintain correct personal information and to update this information as appropriate.
Personal information is utilized by Lonza only as set forth in this Policy and in order to provide Services to users, including, without limitation, delivering enhanced Services and demonstrating functionality of the Services.
Lonza is concerned about a user's personal information. Therefore, Lonza will only share a user's personal information under limited scenarios.

3. Cookies, Server Logs, Retention, and Third Party Links
Upon a user accessing the Services, at least one cookie (a small data file) will be sent by Lonza or a third party to a user's computer. This cookie allows Lonza or the third party to identify the user's computer and internet browsing software in a unique way. These cookies allow Lonza and the third parties it uses to provide a more personalized experience for the user. Generally, the default for most internet browsers is to accept cookies. A user, however, may choose to change these settings to notify the user when a cookie is being sent or, alternatively, to refuse transmission/receipt of all cookies. It should be noted, however, that if a user refuses transmission/receipt of all cookies, a user's experience using the Services may be significantly affected in a negative way and, perhaps, prohibit entirely the use of the Services. In short, if a user prohibits the transmission of its personal information, Lonza may not be able to provide its Services to that user. Moreover, if a user would like more information about this practice and to know a user's choices about not having this information used by third parties, please contact us at webfeedback@lonza.com.
When a user accesses Lonza's website, the servers automatically record information provided by the user's browser. Generally, this information is automatically provided by a user whenever a user accesses any website. This information, recorded in a server log, may a user's particular information (including, without limitation, IP address, browser software, language, date/time of access and other information and/or cookies that will uniquely identify a user's computer and the internet browser it is using). In an effort to protect its users, Lonza may also collect information about how a user uses the Services. This is designed to protect a user from unauthorized account activity, such as fraud or "phishing." Additionally, whenever a user sends an email to Lonza, Lonza will retain that email so that Lonza can investigate and respond to your concerns.
