We work closely with certain third parties (including, for example, our affiliates, business partners, sub-contractors in technical, payment and delivery services, advertising networks, analytics providers, search information providers, public websites, public agencies, market research companies, and other contractors or consultants) and may receive information about you from them. Please be advised that any information provided to us by a third party may also be subject to that third party’s Privacy Statement. We may use Personal Data we receive from other sources, in combination with information we collect either directly from you or about you, for the same purposes as we use the information we collect either directly from you or about you.

Legal Basis Under EU General Data Protection Regulation for Processing Personal Data of EU Residents
Where you have consented to data processing, your consent provides the legal basis to process your Personal Data (as defined above). You have the right to withdraw consent at any time. Please note that your withdrawal of consent to collect and process your Personal Data will not affect the lawfulness of processing your Personal Data based on your consent before you withdrew your consent. We may also process your Personal Data on the basis of contractual necessity to perform a contract we have with you. We may also process your Personal Data on the basis of our legitimate interests, including in providing and improving our services. For example, AmerisourceBergen has a legitimate interest in understanding your login history so we can assess your interaction with our services. We also have a legitimate interest in providing and developing interesting features to provide to our users. Where we rely on legitimate interests to process your Personal Data, you have the right to object to such processing (meaning that you can ask us to stop). You can use your privacy settings to control certain ways in which we process your Personal Data. You can also contact us, using the details below, to object to other forms of processing.

Direct Marketing
We may use information we collect to directly market AmerisourceBergen services and products to you in your capacity as a Supplier, Customer or Visitor unless:

  • You have opted out of this use of your Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Statement; or
  • AmerisourceBergen has reason to know that you are in the European Union and have not opted in to this use of your Personal Information.

Except as prohibited in this Privacy Notice or our Terms and Conditions, AmerisourceBergen or a third-party service provider we select may serve ads according to information we collect during your visits to any AmerisourceBergen website, including the Sites. AmerisourceBergen will (i) where legally required, provide you with such information only after you have opted in and (ii) provide you the opportunity to opt out if you do not want to receive further marketing-related types of communication from us. You can opt out of these at any time.

Sharing Your Information
Sharing Information With AmerisourceBergen Affiliates
AmerisourceBergen may share information (including Personal Data) with AmerisourceBergen subsidiaries and affiliates for the same purposes and under the same legal justifications as are described for AmerisourceBergen under this Privacy Statement.

Sharing Information With Service Providers

We may share information (including Personal Data) either that we collect directly from you or that we collect about you with certain third-party service providers to perform a variety of services on our behalf. These service providers include business partners, suppliers and sub-contractors for the performance of any contract we enter into with them or you, advertisers and advertising networks for selecting and serving relevant adverts to you and others, and analytics and search engine providers for assisting us in the administration and improvement of the Sites. Please note that we provide our service providers with only that Personal Data which is necessary for them to perform services for us and contractually restrict their use to those purposes. There also may be instances where AmerisourceBergen may share information (including Personal Data) with third parties who have not been retained by us (directly or indirectly). For example, we may make such a disclosure: as required by applicable law, court order or governmental regulation; if such disclosure is otherwise necessary in support of any criminal or other legal investigation or proceeding here or abroad; in order to enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions or other agreements; or to protect the rights, property or safety of AmerisourceBergen or our customers. Information we collect (including Personal Data) also may be transferred to a third party in the event that AmerisourceBergen or a part of it is sold, assigned or transferred, or as part of the process of considering such a transaction, in which case we will use reasonable endeavors to ensure the actual or proposed buyer, assignee or transferee treats your information in accordance with this Privacy Statement.

Our Use of Certain Third-Party Services

Third-Party Advertising
We may use third parties, including ad networks, to display advertising on the Sites. Some of these companies may place a cookie on your computer to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement. This enables them to understand where you, or others who are using your computer, saw their advertisement and deliver ads that they believe are of interest to you. We do not control these companies’ use of cookies. If you do not want to receive directed ads from a third-party service provider, visit http://www.youradchoices.com/ for more information (Note: this is an independent website not sponsored by or affiliated with AmerisourceBergen). Some of these companies are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”), which offers a single location to opt out of their cookies. Please visit the NAI’s website at: http://www.networkadvertising.org/optout_nonppii.asp (Note: NAI’s website is an independent website not sponsored by or affiliated with AmerisourceBergen).

Use of Google Analytics
To better serve you and other potential customers, AmerisourceBergen has implemented Google Analytics Advertising features such as, but not limited to, Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting. Using the Google Ad settings, you can opt out of Google Analytics Advertising. AmerisourceBergen will not merge your Personal Data with non-Personal Data collected through any Google Analytics Advertising features unless we provide you notice and obtain your affirmative (i.e., opt-in) consent prior to that merger. We and third-party vendors, including Google, may use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) together to inform, optimize, and serve ads based on your past visits to the Sites. We and third-party vendors, including Google, may use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) together to report how our ad impressions, other uses of ad services, and interactions with these ad impressions and ad services are related to your visits to the Sites. We may use data from Google’s Interest-based advertising or third-party audience data (such as age, gender and interests) with Google Analytics primarily to improve our marketing campaigns and the Sites’s content.

Use of Google Maps API
To the extent AmerisourceBergen develops and implements Google Maps API (“Google Maps”) in connection with the Sites, and such implementation of Google Maps enables AmerisourceBergen to gain access to your information in connection with your use of Google Maps, including Personal Data or non-Personal Data usage information (such as location), AmerisourceBergen will use and retain such information in accordance with this Privacy Statement. This Privacy Statement constitutes AmerisourceBergen’s notification to you of the type(s) of data that it intends to collect from you or your device when you use Google Maps. AmerisourceBergen’s implementation of Google Maps in connection with the Sites will not obtain or cache your location in any manner unless we obtain your prior consent, which you may revoke at any time.
