Introduction
Wyeth, with its pharmaceutical and over-the-counter
divisions, is a leader in the research and development, manufacturing
and marketing of a broad range of health care products.
Wyeth is committed to respecting your privacy online, and we
have created this privacy policy (the "Privacy Policy")
to give you a clear understanding of how our Web Site operates,
and how personal information is treated. We have a clear Privacy
Policy: we collect no personally identifiable information
unless you voluntarily supply it. This privacy statement
explains under what circumstances we gather your individual information,
how we use it, and who may access that information.
This Privacy Policy may be revised periodically. We recommend
that you read our Privacy Policy whenever you visit this
Site so that you are aware of any changes. Please note that
our Privacy Policy applies only to online activities.
Type
of Information Collected
When you visit our Web Site, we do not collect any personally
identifiable information without your consent. We may collect
and store information from you that you voluntarily choose
to give us or enter on our Web Site, including, but not limited
to, "personally identifiable information" such as your
name, address, e-mail address, and phone number. Our primary purpose
in collecting and processing your personally identifiable
information is to provide you with the services you request or
to personalize product information and offers for you. We
may also use your personally identifiable information to
provide you with additional information about our products and
services and to send you information on other products and
services that may be of interest to you. If so, we will
state this in the area of our Web Site where we collect information
for these purposes.
Security
and Use of Information
We are dedicated to the security of your personally identifiable
information and we take commercially reasonable precautions to
maintain that protection. If you need to provide personal information
to access features or services, we will clearly disclose how the
information will be used.
We do not sell, trade or rent your personally identifiable information
to others. However, we may share your personally identifiable
information with other Wyeth businesses or affiliates, our agents,
contractors or business partners located in the United States
and/or any other country, in order that they may perform services
for us. For example, your personally identifiable information
may be shared (i) with contractors we use to support our business
(e.g. fulfillment services, technical support, delivery services,
and financial institutions), or, (ii) in connection with the sale,
assignment, or other transfer of the business of this site to
which the information relates, or (iii) where required by applicable
laws, court orders, or government
regulations.
In addition, since we conduct research on users' demographics,
interests and behaviors based upon information provided to us
during use of our Web Sites, we may combine your information with
information collected from other individuals to produce anonymous,
aggregated statistical information. Aggregated data does not include
personally identifiable information. We use this demographic information,
such as the percentage of male or female visitors, or the percentage
of visitors within certain age brackets, to improve the content
of our site. We also may share this anonymous, aggregated information,
which does
not identify particular individuals or associate particular individuals
with illnesses or conditions, with partners or other third parties.
As our company changes and grows, we might sell or buy companies,
subsidiaries, or assets. In such transactions, customer information
generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, in
the event that Wyeth or substantially all of its assets are acquired,
customer information will, of course, be one of the transferred
assets.
For online ordering, Wyeth has implemented SSL technology to
protect your personally identifiable information. This technology
encrypts your information prior to transmission over the Internet.
While Wyeth has implemented SSL technology for online ordering
purposes, we cannot guarantee the privacy of transmissions (including,
e-mail communications) to and
from our Web Sites.
Wyeth also uses physical and managerial procedures to attempt
to safeguard your personally identifiable information, however
we cannot guarantee that it is completely secure from people who
might attempt to evade security measures or intercept transmissions
over the Internet.
Please be aware that advertisers or third-party web sites that
have links on our Web Sites may collect personally identifiable
information from you. The information practices of those sites
linked to us either through advertisements or other hyperlinks
are not covered by this Privacy Policy. We suggest that when linking
to another site, you always read such site's privacy policy before
volunteering any personally identifiable information on that site.
Our
Retention of Your Personally Identifiable Data
Once you have provided personally identifiable information to
Wyeth, we will store and maintain the information you have volunteered
for so long as you have not directed us otherwise, or for so long
as we are required by law. Our retention of your data allows us
to continue providing you with highly personalized services without
interruption.
Choice
Wyeth believes that choice is one of the most important privacy
principles. You have the choice not to submit any personally identifiable
information to us (although under such circumstances you would
be unable to participate in all aspects of our Web Site).
Likewise, should you prefer not to receive email communications
from us, even after you have provided us with your contact information,
you need do nothing; on the enrollment page where you registered
for email distribution (or other service), an "opt-in"
mechanism is provided, meaning that you will not receive email
from that service unless you click the box stating that you would
like to receive such email. If, after you have elected to receive
the particular email distributions, you decide you would like
to be removed from the distribution list, each email message we
send you will provide a link to unsubscribe from the email list
for that particular service or distribution.
Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of information that a web site places
on an individual computer's hard drive. Cookies remember certain
information that a web site can then use to make communication
between your browser and the site more efficient. Cookies are
standard technology in the Internet industry and may be used by
some Wyeth Web Sites. Wyeth will only be able to read those cookies
that we place on your hard drive; we cannot access or read any
other information.
We use cookies to better tailor our services to your needs. We
may also use cookies on an aggregate basis to track Site navigation
and traffic trends. This aggregated and anonymous information
will help us to improve Site content, and may be shared with partners
or other third parties. Visitors always have the option of disabling
cookies via their browser preferences.
The use of advertising cookies sent by third-party servers is
also common in the Internet industry. Wyeth has no control over,
and cannot protect against, the practices or policies of other
web sites.
Clickstream
Data
A "clickstream" or "clickstream data" reflect
the specific web pages visited by an individual user, and, importantly,
the manner or traffic pattern by which a user moves from one web
page to another. We track such information only within our Web
Site; we specifically do not track any clickstream activity outside
of the Wyeth Web pages.
We track and use this information to understand how our users'
habits are similar to or different from one another and specifically
to personalize the content, banner ads and promotions that you
and other users will see on our Web Site.
Clickstream data does not contain or reveal any personally identifiable
information about the user.
IP
Addresses
An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number that is automatically
assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider (ISP)
whenever you log onto the Internet. Like other Internet sites,
Wyeth may use IP addresses to collect aggregate and anonymous
information about the number of visitors and site usage. To guarantee
your privacy, your IP address is not linked with personal information
about you. Wyeth does reserve the right, however, to use IP addresses
to identify individuals who threaten our Site, service or customers.
Surveys
and Contests
From time to time, we may ask for personally identifiable information
when you complete a survey or enter a contest. In these instances,
we will clearly describe the purpose for collecting such information,
as well as intended uses.
Use
of Content
No information presented herein is intended as a substitute for
medical advice or treatment for specific medical conditions. Use
of this online service is subject to the Terms
& Conditions.
Leaving
Wyeth
As a resource to our visitors, we provide links to other web sites.
We try to carefully choose those sites that we believe are useful
and meet our high standards. However, we do not guarantee the
standards of every web site to which we link, nor are we responsible
for the content of non-Wyeth sites. Links to external web sites
are provided only for convenience and/or for informational purposes,
and in no way constitute an endorsement.
Your
Consent
By using our Web Site, you consent to the collection and use
of information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. You also acknowledge
our right to change this policy, without prior notification, and
our commitment to post any such changes on this page so that you
are fully informed of the types of information we collect, how
we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, it is disclosed.
