This Policy may be updated and we therefore invite you to consult this Policy from time-to-time in order to become acquainted with any changes. This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains all of the precautions which we have taken to keep your Data secure. The terms of this Policy are without prejudice to any contractual terms you may enter into with us, which will take precedence over the terms of this Policy.

Third Party Sites

This Website may include hyperlinks to other websites that are not operated or controlled by Elixir ("Third Party Sites"). This Policy only applies to this Website and Elixir is not responsible for the content or the privacy practices of Third Party Sites.

Data Transfer to Elixir

Please be aware that the Internet is not generally a secure environment, and that Data sent via the Internet can be accessed by unauthorised third parties, potentially leading to disclosures, changes in content or technical failures. In specific situations, Elixir may provide an encrypted communication transfer for your Data, and where this is the case, it will be specifically indicated.

Data sent via the Internet may be transmitted across international borders even though both sender and receiver are located in the same country. Therefore, your Data may be forwarded to a country with a lower data protection level than exists in your country of residence. Elixir accepts no responsibility or liability for the security of your Data whilst in transit via the Internet to us.

This Data will be collected primarily for purposes of monitoring usage and performance of this Website as well as facilitating your movement within this Website.
