| 1. Pledge on Privacy
The term "personal information" as used in this
Policy refers to information from which your identity can
reasonably be ascertained. Tianda Pharmaceuticals is bound
by the National Privacy Principles and complies with these
principles to the extent required by the Privacy Act 1988
(C'th) .The next sections explain how and when we collect
personal information from you.
2.
Collection and Use of Personal Information
Tianda processes personal information for specific and limited
purposes which we inform you about when we ask you for information.
For example, we may collect and use personal data to provide
you with products or services, to bill you for products
and services you request, to market products and services
which we think may be of interest to you, or to communicate
with you for other purposes. Information you send to our
customer service department is used only to help resolve
your problem and is otherwise kept private. Tianda keeps
your data only for as long as is reasonably needed for such
purposes and in accordance with any applicable legal reporting
or documentation retention requirements. We only collect
personal information from you when you visit the Site if
you use the "Contact Us" facility to send us an
email. In this case we will use your personal information
to respond to your email. We may also use this information
to send you by e-mail certain product, health or other information
which we consider to be of importance to you but will give
you the opportunity to tell us if you do not want to receive
this information.
3. Disclosure of Information
Personal information collected from users of the Site may
occasionally be transferred to third parties who act for
or on behalf of Tianda (such as our service providers, including
mail houses, call centres and IT consultants), and to related
companies of Tianda, including those located outside Australia.
Such third parties may operate different privacy policies.
However, we endeavour to ensure that such third parties
provide the same level of protection as Tianda and, where
appropriate, we will contractually require them to process
personal information transferred to them only for the purposes
expressly authorised by Tianda. We will not share with third
parties any data about you that is sensitive (e.g., medical
information) in the absence of your prior and explicit consent.
Your consent may always be revoked at a later date. If consent
is revoked Tianda may not be able to carry out certain requests
made by you. Tianda will, where practicable, inform third
parties to whom your data have been transferred of your
withdrawal of consent.
4. Right of Access
You have the right to access and update your personal information
unless certain circumstances, set out in the National Privacy
Principles, apply. We take reasonable steps to ensure that
personal information we hold is up-to-date, accurate, and
complete. If you wish to access or correct your personal
information held by us, please contact the webmaster. Your
requests will be dealt with in a prompt and proper manner
in accordance with the National Privacy Principles. No charge
will be levied for requesting access or correction of your
personal information, however, Tianda may charge a small
fee to cover its costs of providing access.
5. Security and Confidentiality
Tianda takes reasonable steps to ensure the security and
confidentiality of personal information that it collects
on-line. Tianda uses data networks protected, inter alia,
by firewall and password protection. Access to personal
information is restricted to those employees who have a
need to use the data, who have been trained to handle such
data properly and observe strict standards of confidentiality.
If an employee breaches our policies and procedures he/she
will be disciplined accordingly. Staff compliance with our
policies and procedures is regularly audited and reviewed.
While we cannot guarantee against any loss, misuse or alteration
to data, we try to prevent such unfortunate occurrences.
6. Data Transfer Abroad
Tianda is part of a global enterprise with databases in
different jurisdictions. Tianda may transfer your personal
information to one of its databases outside Australia. We
will ensure that if we transfer data to Tianda databases
outside Australia we will comply with any obligations we
have under the National Privacy Principles in relation to
that transfer.
7. Anonymous Data and "Cookies"
Most of the information that Tianda collects when you visit
the Site is anonymous information, such as the pages you
visit and searches you perform, which is processed by Tianda
to help improve the contents of the Site and to compile
aggregate statistics about use of the Site for internal,
market research purposes. To collect this anonymous information,
"cookies" may be sent via your browser and installed
on your hard drive that collect the first level domain name
of the user (e.g., "bigmail.com" from an e-mail
address of "john@bigmail.com") and the date and
time of access. "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. You can set your
browser to notify you when you receive a "cookie",
this will enable you to decide if you want to accept it
or not.
8. Spamming
Tianda does not condone "spamming". Spamming is
defined as sending unsolicited e-mails, usually of a commercial
nature, in large numbers and repeatedly to individuals with
whom the sender has had no previous contact or who have
declined to receive such communications. If you contact
us by email and Tianda believes that certain product, health,
or other information is of importance to you, we may inform
you by e-mail but will give you the choice to opt out of
receiving further communications of this type.
9. Personal Information and Children
Tianda will not knowingly collect, use or disclose personal
information from a minor under the age of 13, without obtaining
prior consent from a person with parental responsibility
(e.g., a parent or guardian) through direct off-line contact.
We will provide the parent with (i) notice of the specific
types of personal information being collected from the minor,
and (ii) the opportunity to object to any further collection,
use, or storage of such information.
10. Links to Other Sites
This Privacy Policy applies only to the Site. Other websites
operated by Tianda entities outside Australia may have their
own Privacy Policy. If you link from the Site to another
website operated by a third party any personal information
collected, used or disclosed as a result of your accessing
that website will be subject to the relevant operator's
privacy policy and any privacy laws which apply to that
operator.
11. Contact Tianda

with this Privacy Policy, or if you would like to make any
