We may track information provided to us by your browser, including the Web site you came from (known as the referring URL), the type of browser you use, the time and date of access, and other information that does not personally identify you. On some of our sites, you might need to register to access portions of the site.
 

In addition, we may gather information about you that is automatically collected by our Web server, such as your IP address and domain name. Ferrer may use Web server and browser information to individually customize its messages if you submit your personal information.

Ferrer Web sites obtain visitors’ consent before collecting personally identifiable information.Information from outside sourcesWe may also collect information about physicians or other health care professionals who register on our Web sites from other sources in order to verify their licensure status and identity. In some cases, we ask customers for information after they register, such as credit card information. Where necessary (for example, to process an order for a purchase), our Web sites may contact financial or credit organizations to confirm customer credit card information.
 

From time to time we may augment our existing user databases with legally obtained information from third parties. Some of this information may be personally identifiable, such as national change of address information. We do this to better target our information offerings and promotional campaigns and to provide pertinent offers in which we think you would be interested.

On some of our Web sites, we offer health assessment tools that ask you to provide self-assessment information or to voluntarily disclose details of your health condition.
 

We may also ask you to provide additional information such as your e-mail address if you want to obtain additional services or information or to resolve complaints or concerns. Use of cookies and other tracking systems Cookies, log files, and pixel-tags (Web beacons) are technologies that may be used by the Ferrer Web sites to identify a user as the user moves through our Web sites. Your browser allows us to place some information (session based IDs and/or persistent cookies) on your computer’s hard drive that identifies the computer you are using. We may use cookies to personalize our Web sites and to track your usage across other Ferrer Web sites.
  

Your Web browser can be set to allow you to control whether you will accept cookies, reject cookies, or to notify you each time a cookie is sent to you. If your browser is set to reject cookies, Web sites that are cookie-enabled will not recognize you when you return to the Web site, and some Web site functionality may be lost. The Help section of your browser will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting cookies.
 

On occasion, we may contract with third parties to place cookies on your computer’s hard drive. As is standard within the industry, cookies are used to identify you the next time you access a Ferrer site. These third parties are required to observe our Privacy Policy.
 

Although cookies do not normally contain personally identifiable information, if you have provided us information about you, we may associate your registration information with cookies or other tracking utilities our Web site places on your computer’s hard drive.

In addition, we may also use pixel tags in HTML based e-mails directed to you.
 

How we use the information
 
Aggregate data
We may gather aggregate data about visitors to our Web sites for product and service development and improvement activities. We may also use it for market analysis. We may provide information from our Web sites in aggregate form, with identifying information removed, to third parties. When aggregate health information is provided, we engage to pool it from many individual records and strip it of any data that could be used to identify an individual before it is used. Any third party that receives aggregated health care data must agree not to attempt to re-identify the people it belongs to.
 

Marketing – Health Care Messages
We may target our marketing and health care messaging depending on information we have about you. For example, a user we know is a woman may receive information on products targeted at women that a male user will not see, or a user who we know is a health care professional who treats arthritis may receive information for new arthritis therapies. We may send information to you that we may believe will benefit you, including information about any Ferrer product.

 
We may also personalize our Web site based on your interests. For example, you may see different articles in different places on our Web site based on information you have shared with us, or information we have gained by reviewing your previous visits, or information we may have gained from your interactions with a third party that shares information with us.
 

Other than as described above, Ferrer will not release personally identifiable information to a third party without your consent.
 

Protection of information
How Ferrer handles privacy internallyWe have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use the information we collect online.
 

In certain instances, Ferrer may use security methods to determine the identity of each registered user, so that appropriate rights and restrictions can be enforced for that user. Reliable verification of user identity is called authentication. Ferrer may use passwords or usernames or both to authenticate users. Users are responsible for maintaining their own passwords.
 

Personally identifiable health information you share with us is stored on our database servers at Ferrer data centers (in whatever country they may be located) or hosted by third parties who have entered into agreements with us that require them to observe our Privacy Policy. We have technologies to prevent individuals from accessing information without authorization. Data centers are designed to be physically secure and protected from unauthorized access by unauthorized persons.Information in our data centers is backed up routinely, in order to aid in the recovery of information in the event of accidental damage of information or due to a natural disaster. The backup media is stored in a physically secure storage facility.
 

In addition to aggregate information (discussed previously), we may share some kinds of information with third parties as described below.
 

Companies and people who work for us: Because we are a large company, we contract with other companies and individuals to help us provide services. For example, we may host some of our Web sites on another company’s computers, hire technical consultants to maintain our Web-based health sites, or work with companies to remove repetitive information from customer lists, analyze data, provide marketing assistance, and provide customer service. In addition, if you are a health care professional, we may validate your licensure status and other information against available databases that list licensed health care professionals. In order to perform their jobs, these other companies may have limited access to some of the personal information we maintain about our users.
 

Other companies may collect information on our behalf through their sites. This occasionally may incorporate the use of frames on the site that will not show the URL you are visiting in the browser address window. We require such companies to comply with the terms of our privacy policies, to limit their access to any personal information to the minimum necessary to perform their obligations, and not to use the information they may access for purposes other than fulfilling their responsibilities to us. We use our best efforts to limit other companies’ use of personally identifiable or health care information.
 

Promotional and informational offers: We may send offers to selected groups of customers. To accomplish this we may use third parties working on behalf of Ferrer. You can elect not to receive promotional or informational material from us by following the instructions to opt-out included in the programs we send to you. Legal requirements: We may release account and other personal information when we believe release is required to comply with law. We may release personal health information if, in our judgment after review by an attorney, the release is compelled by law or regulation, or if the release may be necessary to prevent the death or serious injury of an individual. Updating your personal information and contacting Ferrer.
