Privacy Policy
Effective January 11, 2013
Introduction
Your privacy is important to us. To better protect that privacy, Teva Respiratory, LLC is providing this notice to explain our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. This privacy policy applies only to the use and collection of data collected by this web site (the "web site") and does not apply to any other data collected by Teva Respiratory online or offline.
As used in this privacy policy, "we" includes Teva Respiratory and its related companies, as well as any third-party vendors we hire to assist in the administration of the web site. These vendors are required to maintain the confidentiality of the user information to which they become privy in accordance with the terms of this privacy policy and to otherwise abide by the terms of this privacy policy. These vendors are prohibited from using the user information for any other purposes.
Collection and Use of your Information
We collect two basic types of information – personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information – and we may use personal and anonymous information to create a third type of information, aggregated statistical information. You can visit our web site and find out about Teva Respiratory's products and services without giving us any personally-identifiable information about you. When you visit our web site, we do not collect any personally identifiable information without your consent. We 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, etc. If you do not want Teva to collect your personally identifiable information, please do not provide it to us.
Our primary purpose in collecting and processing such information is to provide you with services that you request or to personalize product information for you. We may also use your personally identifiable information to provide you with additional information about our products and services, to provide you with advertising based on your activity on our sites and applications and on third-party sites and applications, to optimize or improve our products, services and operations, and to detect, investigate and prevent activities that may violate our policies or be illegal. We may also share your personally identifiable information with affiliates, our agents, contractors, or business partners located in North America, in order that they may perform services for us.
While the information you provide will be maintained for a commercially-reasonable time by Teva Respiratory for administrative, liability, and archival purposes, your personally-identifiable information is not shared with a third party, other than (i) as required by law, (ii) to protect and defend the rights of Teva Respiratory, the web site or the users of the web site, (iii) as incident to a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution, bankruptcy or similar event, (iv) under circumstances we believe reasonably necessary to protect the personal safety of users of Teva Respiratory products and services, the web site or the public, or (v) as otherwise described in this privacy policy. We may also collect non-personally identifiable information from site visitors, which includes information that does not directly or indirectly identify, and cannot reasonably be used to identify, an individual visitor. This can be technical information or it can be demographic information, such as your age, gender or interests. Non-personally identifiable information does NOT identify you personally.
We do conduct research on users' demographics, interests and behaviors based upon information provided to us during use of our web site and 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 include personally identifiable information, with third parties.
Security of Information
To prevent unauthorized access to the web site or any portion thereof, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have enacted commercially-reasonable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure, during transmission and storage, the information we collect online. From time to time, we review our security procedures to consider appropriate new technology and methods. Please be aware that, despite our best efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.
Special Note Regarding Web Site Use By Children
The web site is neither directed to nor designed for use by children - i.e., anyone under thirteen years old. We recognize the need to provide further privacy protections with respect to personal information that a site collects from children. We make every effort to limit our site so it is not available for use by children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children in connection with the site.
Links to Other Sites
As a resource to our visitors, Teva Respiratory may provide links to other web sites. Please be aware that these other web sites are not covered under Teva Respiratory's privacy policy. We suggest that when linking to another site, you always read that web site's privacy policy before volunteering any personally identifiable information. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these other web sites.
Cookies and IP addresses
Cookies are text files that are stored on a web site user's computer by the web site. Cookies typically contain user-related information such as preferences, status, settings, etc. The purpose of most cookies is to make use of the Internet easier and quicker. Most browsers allow the user to choose settings that allow the use of cookies that provide notice to the user when cookies are being stored, and/or that refuse all cookies.
We collect information through technology, such as cookies, Flash cookies and Web beacons (also known as "clear gifs," "web bugs" or "pixel tags"), including when you visit our sites and applications or use our applications on third-party sites or platforms. (See additional information below).
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. Cookie management tools provided by your browser will not remove Flash cookies. Web beacons are used to allow us to count users who have visited certain pages of the site and to help determine the effectiveness of promotional or advertising campaigns. Web beacons can tell the sender whether and when the email has been opened. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages.
An IP address is a unique identifying number that is automatically assigned to any computer connected to the Internet. Depending on the nature of your Internet connection, the IP address may change each time you connect or may always be the same number for that computer. We reserve the right to log IP addresses for system administration, security, statistical analysis, demographic analysis of web site use, and other such functions.
Public Forums
To the extent that the web site makes forums, message boards and/or news groups available to you, please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information. You should exercise caution in disclosing personally identifiable information there or in any other public section of the Internet. If you don't want people to know your e-mail address, for example, do not include it in any message you post publicly.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
Teva Respiratory may, from time to time in its sole discretion, change or modify this privacy policy to accommodate new technologies, industry practices, regulatory requirements or for other purposes. Any changes or modification will be effective upon posting of the revisions on the web site. At any given time, your access and use of the web site and provision of information is governed by the privacy policy then in effect. Teva Respiratory may post changes or modifications to referenced policies and guidelines without your approval, and may determine whether and when any such changes apply to you. Your continued use of the web site following Teva Respiratory's posting of any changes or modifications will constitute your acceptance of such changes or modifications. Should you not wish to be bound by the modified privacy policy, you may not use or access the web site. We will provide notice to you if these changes are material and, where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent.

We have no obligations of any kind in relation to such comments, suggestions, or communications and are free to use or distribute them in any way, including in relations to the administration, update, or improvement of the web site, without compensation to the author, sender, or any other party.
