Privacy Policy for Averion International Corp.’s Web Site

Our Commitment To Privacy

At Averion International Corp., we are strongly committed to protecting your privacy. You can navigate the majority of our website without giving us any personal information about yourself. However, sometimes we need additional information about you in order to provide the information or services you are requesting. Your privacy is important to us. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on every page of our site.

The Information We Collect

This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on the Averion website. We collect information in several ways, which are described below:

1. On some pages, you can register to receive information on an automated, "alert" basis. The type of information that you can register to receive on an automated basis includes general information about Averion such as:

• Press releases 
• Investor News

The personal information collected when you register to receive automated  information is typically your name and email address. Each time you receive an automated email alert, you have the option of canceling your registration and removing your email from the database by simply clicking on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of each email alert message.

2. On some pages, you may opt to provide us information about yourself if you are interested (a) in serving as an investigator in a clinical trial; or (b)  in pursuing an employment opportunity at Averion. The information requested from you will be based on your area of interest.

3. On some pages, you can register to receive customized information. This information is generally collected on "Contact Us" forms where you can ask an Averion representative to contact you in order to answer questions or provide specific information. The personal information you provide on these forms may include your name, title, company name, address, contact numbers, and email.

4. On some pages, you can choose to register to receive access to webcasts, periodic newsletters, or information on a specific Averion product or service. Generally, the personal information collected when you register to receive this type of information is your name, company, affiliation, and email address. This information is collected for qualification and aggregate measurement purposes only.

5. On some pages, you may choose to enter personal information about yourself that may allow you access to specific Averion information or services. For example, clients may enter identifying information that allows them to access their project information.

The Way We Use Information

We store the information you provide about yourself in a secure database in order to provide you with the information, products, and/or services you request. The information is stored for the lifetime of the database unless you request that it be removed. You must consent for us to share your identifiable information with third parties, who would be bound by a confidentiality agreement. The information you provide us about yourself will be shared with Averion employees, consultants or contractors to the extent necessary to accommodate your request. You can also update your information at any time.

For example, if you provide your name, mailing address, telephone and email address and request more information about Averion’s services, this information will be shared with appropriate Averion personnel or consultants to fulfill your request. This information will not be shared with any other outside third parties. Again, you can change your preferences on the registration page at any time.

We use non-identifying and aggregate information about the use of our website to improve the navigation, content, and design of our site. This information may include, for example, the most and least requested pages and the number of users from the U.S. and other countries, among other things.

Finally, unless otherwise excepted below, we would not use your personally identifiable information provided to us online for purposes other than those you requested without also providing you an opportunity to agree or otherwise limit such unrelated purposes.

Exceptions

Except as described above, we will not otherwise use or disclose any of your personally identifiable information, except to the extent reasonably necessary: (i) to correct technical problems and malfunctions and when we process your information; (ii) to protect the security and integrity of our website; (iii) to protect our rights and property and the rights and property of others; (iv) to take precautions against liability; (v) to comply with laws or to respond to judicial process; or (vii) to provide information to law enforcement agencies or for an investigation on a matter as applicable or otherwise required or permitted by law.

Cookies

Currently, we are not using cookies but may offer this option in the future in order to allow site visitors to personalize their experience. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the hard drive of your computer. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target your interests to enhance the experience on our site. We receive IP addresses in the normal course of the operation of our Web site. An IP address is a number assigned to you by your Internet service provider so you can access the Internet. Although we do receive IP addresses, we do not use them to personally identify you or disclose them to others.

Children's Privacy

Protecting the privacy of children is important to Averion. For that reason, we do not intend to collect or maintain information at our website from those we know are under 13 years of age, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13.

To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before updating or removing your information. The information you provide us may be archived or stored periodically by us according to backup processes conducted in the ordinary course of business.
