The HIV Collective is a community campaign that has been developed and paid for by Gilead Sciences Ltd.
The HIV Collective Gilead UK and Ireland Communities website www.hivcollective.co.uk (the “Website”) is controlled and operated by Gilead Sciences Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number: 02543818) whose registered office address is 280 High Holborn, London, WC1V 7EE (“Gilead”).
How does Gilead collect information online? Gilead partakes in the Passive Collection of Unidentifiable Information (e.g. Cookies). In addition to the means set out in the Privacy Statement and the Gilead Privacy Statement, the Website may collect information that could be potentially personally identifiable about your visits without you actively submitting such information.
Unidentified information may be collected using various technologies, such as cookies and
web
beacons. Cookies are small text files that are transferred to your computer’s hard disk by a
website. This information might be about you, your preferences or your device and is
typically
used to make the site work as you expect it. The information does not usually directly
identify you, but it can give you a more personalized web experience.
Web beacons (also referred to as GIF files, pixels, or Internet tags) help Gilead
understand how you navigate around the Website. As part of your use of the Website, your
Internet browser automatically transmits to the Website some of this unidentified
information,
such as the URL of the website you just visited and the browser version your computer is
operating.
Passive information collection technologies can make your use of the Website easier by allowing Gilead to provide better service, customise the Website based on consumer preferences, compile statistics, analyse trends, and otherwise administer and improve the Website. Certain features of the Website may not work without the use of passive information collection technologies. Information collected by these technologies cannot be used to identify you without additional information. With respect to limiting or disabling tracking technology please see the section below entitled, “What choices do I have about how the Website collects and uses Personal Information about me?” Some of Gilead’s business partners, with whom Gilead contracts to carry out business activities (e.g., website providers), may use their cookies on the Website. Although Gilead may not have direct access to or control over such cookies, this Website Privacy Statement governs the use of cookies by Gilead and such business partners on the Website. Gilead may also allow social media companies (e.g., Facebook) to put “widgets” on the Website. These third-party tools may also be used to track you across websites. For example, so long as you are logged in to Facebook, every time you land on a webpage that has a Facebook widget, Facebook will know you are on that webpage. Gilead does not control the privacy practices of these third parties.

What choices do I have about how the Website collects and uses Personal Information
about
me?
You may always limit the amount and type of Personal Information that Gilead receives about
you
by choosing not to enter Personal Information into forms or data fields on Gilead websites,
including the Website (if applicable). Some of Gilead’s online services can only be provided
to
you if you provide Gilead with appropriate Personal Information.
Various Gilead websites may ask whether you wish to opt-in to Gilead’s contact lists or
programs
for offers, promotions, and additional services that may be of interest to you.
You may also be provided with preference questions or preference boxes allowing you to
indicate
that you do not want the Website to use tracking technologies, such as cookies, to
“remember”
your Personal Information, such as user IDs or mailing addresses, on return visits. However,
Gilead websites that use tracking technologies to collect unidentified information do not
generally provide you with the ability to opt-out of the tracking technologies. Some
Internet
browsers allow you to limit or disable the use of tracking technologies that collect
unidentified information, such as a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) setting.
Currently, the Gilead Websites are not compatible with the DNT
standard in its current release. However, you should remember that Gilead does not collect
or
disclose your browsing behaviour for third-party marketing purposes.
Because we respect your right to privacy (Gilead Privacy Statement), you can choose not to
allow
some types of cookies. However, note that blocking some types of cookies may impact your
experience with the site and the services we are able to offer.
