Havas Lynx Group Privacy Policy HAVAS LYNX GROUP PRIVACY POLICY We understand that privacy and the security of your personal information is extremely important.

This policy gives effect to our commitment to protect your personal information and has been adopted by all of the companies and businesses in our group. WHO ARE WE We’re a global healthcare communications agency that’s part of Havas Health and You, a global network of industry leading media communications agencies. When we say ‘we’ or ‘us’ in this policy, we’re generally referring to the separate and distinct legal entities that make up the Havas Lynx Group (although it does depend on the context). It also includes any other businesses we add to this group in the future. WE PROMISE We’ll only ever collect information we’re going to use, and we’ll always make it clear how we’ll use it.

For example, we may pass your information to a third party service in order to send you tickets to an event. But please know that when we do use third party services, we only ever send them the information they need to deliver that service.
