your e-mail address.
Syngenta uses the personal data you provide when you use this Site to
provide the information, services and products you request. For example, we may
use your e-mail address to respond to your comments and questions. In some
cases, the site will allow registration to promotional events; we will use your

Syngenta also uses the personal information collected through this Site
to improve the content and functionality of this Site, to better understand our
customers and markets, to improve our products and services and to market our
products and services to our customers and potential customers, including those
who are registered users of this Site. From time to time, we may contact you
with information about agricultural products and services. If you do not want us
to contact you for such purposes, please notify

Click-Stream Data. Syngenta uses technology to track your use of
this Site, for example, which pages you view and which links you use. This
information about your use of this Site is called "click-stream data."
Click-stream data helps us determine what is important to you, and what is not.
It helps us decide what content and features to add and what to discard. It also
helps us determine whether our Site is easy to use or whether we need to
redesign certain pages and links. Click-stream data does not identify you
personally. If Syngenta links any click-stream data to your personal name we
will treat it as personal data.
Cookies. We may obtain information about you by installing our own
marker on your computer. This marker is commonly called a "cookie" and it
enables us to know you by a computer-generated, unique identifier. By providing
you a unique identifier, we are able to create a database of your previous
choices and preferences, and in situations where those choices or preferences
need to be collected again, they can be supplied by us automatically, saving you
time and effort. For example, after you purchase a product once, if you need to
purchase it again you previous selection of size, colour or other features will
be retained and can be re-entered more quickly. Your computer may be specially
configured to reject cookies: please refer to your browser for more information.

Disclosure of Personal Data to Unrelated Third-Parties
Both Syngenta and its affiliates share personal information collected
