Actelion will, where practicable, inform third parties to whom your personal data has been transferred of your withdrawal of consent.

- Actelion works with some authorized service providers to provide website hosting and maintenance as well as other services for us. Actelion requires these services providers to safeguard personally identifiable information you provide to us. To the extent it is necessary for these service providers to complete their contractual obligations to Actelion; these third parties may have access to or process your personally identifiable information. Actelion generally limits their use of your personally identifiable information to the purpose for which it was shared.

- Actelion may also disclose User information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with state and federal laws or respond to a court order, judicial or other government subpoena, or warrant.
