Cookies
Cookies are files that identify your computer to our server. Cookies do not identify
the individual user, only the computer used. Whenever you visit the site, the pages
you see, along with a cookie, are downloaded onto your computer. Any information
that is supplied by cookies assists us in analysing the profile of our visitors.
Cookies may be used in the following ways:
- To help us recognise you as a unique visitor (in the form of a number) when you
return to our website and allow us to tailor content or advertisements to match
your preferred interests or to avoid showing you the same adverts repeatedly.
- To compile anonymous, aggregated statistics that allow us to understand how users
use our site, to help us improve the structure of our website.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies by modifying the settings in your
browser. However, you may not be able to use all the interactive features of our
site if cookies are disabled. To find out more about cookies and how they can be

Disclosures of your information
Your personal information may be used by all Roche companies. We will never pass
your personal information to anyone else without your consent, except for (a) successors
in title to our business, or (b) when required by law.
The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination
outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). It may also be processed by staff operating
outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. By submitting your
personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all
steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance
with this Privacy Policy.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely
secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee
the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own
risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and
security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes.
We will usually inform you (before collecting your data) if we intend to use your
data for such purposes or if we intend to disclose your information to any third
party for such purposes. You can also exercise the right at any time by contacting
us at EXCEED@virgohealth.com.
Our site may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our partner
networks, advertisers and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites,
please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not
accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies
before you submit any personal data to these websites.
You have the right to access information held about you. Any access request may
be subject to a fee of £10 to meet our costs in providing you with details of the
information we hold about you.
Use of EXCEED.org.uk
Please be aware that although the information you provide to EXCEED.org.uk will
be held on our server, we will not access or use this information in any way – it
is there to enable Virgo HEALTH and Roche Products Limited to carry out a review
of the service and highlight areas that would benefit from improvement.
Security
Roche Products Limited operates secure data networks protected by industry standard
firewall and password protection. Roche Products Limited has security measures in
place to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of your user
data under our control.
Except as outlined below, only authorised administrators and authorised members
of EXCEED have access to the information you provide us. Further, we impose strict
rules on EXCEED administrators and our third party supplier who have access either
to the databases that store user information or to the servers that host our services.
While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration to data will not occur;
we make every effort to prevent such unfortunate occurrences.
Changes to our Privacy Policy
We reserve the right at any time to change the Privacy Policy by posting changes
online. You are responsible for regularly reviewing information posted online to
obtain prompt notice of any such changes. Your continued usage of the Site after
