You will be informed at each information collection point what information is required and what information is optional. We will provide a clear notice of our intended use of the data.

Examples of this non-personally identifiable information include the name of your Internet service provider, the website that you used to link to our site, the websites that you visit from our site and your IP Address. This data could possibly lead to your identification; however it is not collected or used for this purpose. The data is used for statistical purposes, but the individual user remains anonymous.

A cookie is a bit of information that a website sends to your web browser that helps the website remember information about you and your preferences.

Persistent cookies are more permanent bits of information that are placed on the hard drive of your computer and stay there unless you delete them. Persistent cookies store information on your computer for a number of purposes, such as retrieving certain information you have previously provided (e.g., passwords), helping to determine what areas of the website visitors find most valuable, and customizing the website based on your preferences. This site uses persistent cookies.

Internet tags (also known as single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies and tell the Web site server information such as the IP address and browser type related to the visitor's computer. This site uses Internet tags. Tags have been placed both on online advertisements that bring people to the site and on different pages of the site. These tags indicate how many times a page is opened and which information is consulted. We do not collect or seek personally identifiable information through these tags.

Navigational data ("log files," "server logs" and "clickstream" data) are used for system management, to improve the content of the site, market research purposes, and to communicate information to visitors. This site uses navigational data.

We recognize that by providing us with personally identifiable information you are demonstrating your trust in our company and our brands and we take that trust very seriously. We maintain this information in a secure database that we use to analyze consumer needs. To further understand key issues, we will contact you for additional information.

Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your personally identifiable information as you transmit your information from your computer to our site and to protect such information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. You should keep in mind that no Internet transmission is ever 100% secure or error-free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from this site will not necessarily be secure against interception, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail. Moreover, where you use passwords, ID numbers, or other special access features on this site, it is your responsibility to safeguard them.

What About Children?
Schering-Plough HealthCare Products does not intend this site for child audiences, and has no intention of collecting personally identifiable information (such as name, address, telephone number) from children under 13 years old. Should a child under 13 attempt to provide us with personally identifiable information, we will decline to collect that information, and set a session cookie [or use other means for tracking the child while on the site] to make sure the child does not attempt to change his/her age and provide us with his/her personally identifiable information. If you discover that your child has provided us with personally identifiable information, we ask that a parent or guardian of the child contact us at 1-901-320-2386 (toll call) or e-mail us to cancel authorization for use of the child's personal data.

If we change the way we use your personally identifiable information, we will post those changes to this privacy policy and other places we deem appropriate so that you will be aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If we previously collected your personally identifiable information under a different privacy policy, we will take the appropriate steps to notify you of such changes (e.g., by email if we have your email address) and to obtain your consent to any new uses of your personally identifiable information.
