Santen and its affiliates operate other programs, websites and mobile applications that are not subject to this Policy. In particular, unless otherwise provided in this Policy, this Policy does not cover our offline data practices.
Please read this Policy carefully because when you submit information to or through the Site, you are consenting to the collection, processing and retention of your information as described in this Policy.

Information Collection and Usage

What personal information do we collect?
When you use the Site, for example, to provide us with contact information or to apply for a job with us, we or our service providers may collect information that could reasonably be used to contact you or to identify you personally, such as your name, email address, telephone number, mobile phone number, geographic location, zip code or mailing address (“Personal Information”). You may use our Site to ask questions or report problems regarding our investigational and marketed products. If you do this, we will have your email address as well as whatever health-related and/or personal facts you choose to include in your correspondence. If you are reporting a product experience involving one of our investigational products, we may ask you for specific facts, including patient initials, age, gender, and prescribing physician. Federal regulations require us to collect patient-identifiable information in order to file reports with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regarding the safety of our investigational products.
For Healthcare Providers
If you are a medical professional and disclose Personal Information about a patient through the Site, you and you alone bear the sole obligation and responsibility of obtaining any patient consents and/or authorization for such disclosure that may be required under federal, state or other applicable law.
How do we use your information?
Any information you submit on the Site may be used for a variety of purposes, including, for example, to:
respond to your questions and requests;
process your application for employment, including requesting any additional information, responding to your questions and informing you of other employment positions that may be of interest to you (through our personnel or third-party recruiters contracted on our behalf);
provide you with access to certain features of the Site;
verify your identity;
improve the Site;
contact you about your use of the Site;
in our discretion, to make changes to the Site or any of our policies;
comply with legal requirements; and
detect, prevent, and respond to actual or suspected fraud, security breach, intellectual property infringement, other violations of law, violations of our Terms and Conditions and/or other misuse of our Site.
We will only use the information you provide to us in a manner that is consistent with this Policy or where we have otherwise obtained your consent.
We may use your Personal Information to send you relevant promotions, personalized information, or updates or newsletters with information that you have requested or that may interest you.
Information We Collect Automatically
Whenever you visit or interact with the Site, we may use a variety of technologies that automatically or passively collect information about how you access or use the Site (“Usage Information”). Usage Information may include your browser type, operating system, the page served, the time, and the preceding page views. However, this information does not identify you as an individual user. We do not treat Usage Information as Personal Information unless it is combined with other data that, once linked, can be used to identify you.
Cookies
We may collect information about you or your use of the Sites through cookies, tracking pixels, mobile identifiers or other technologies. We use this information to better understand, customize and improve the Site, our services and offerings as well as to manage our advertising. The information we collect through cookies, tracking pixels or mobile identifiers may help us understand how visitors use and engage with the Site. If you have provided us with your Personal Information via the Site, we may associate this Personal Information with information we have collected through cookies, tracking pixels, mobile identifiers or other technologies.
What are cookies?
A “cookie” is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. When you visit the website again, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser. Cookies may store user preferences and other information. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some website features or services may not function properly without cookies.
How to modify cookie settings
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. You do this through your browser settings. Since each browser is a little different, look at your browser’s Help Menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies.
If you turn cookies off, some of the features that make your site experience more efficient may not function properly.
Device Identifiers
The Site may also automatically collect your IP address or other unique identifier (“Device Identifier”) for the computer, mobile device, technology or other device (collectively, “Device”) you use to access the Site. A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your Device when you access a web site or its servers, and our computers identify your Device by its Device Identifier. We may use a Device Identifier to, among other things, administer the Site, help diagnose problems with our servers, analyze trends, track users’ web page movements, help identify, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
Web Beacons
Small graphic images or other web programming code called web beacons (also known as “1×1 GIFs,” “one pixel GIFs,” or “clear GIFs”) may be included in our web pages and email messages. Web beacons may be invisible to you, but any electronic image or other web programming code inserted into a web page or email can act as a web beacon. Web beacons or similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes, including, without limitation, to count visitors to the Site, to monitor how users navigate the Site, to make cookies more effective, to count how many emails that were sent were actually opened, or to count how many particular articles or links were actually viewed.
Mobile Identifiers
We may use software development kits (“SDKs”) or mobile advertising identifiers (for example, “IDFA” on Apple mobile devices or “Advertising ID” on Android mobile devices), which function similarly to cookies on mobile devices. You may reset your IDFA or Advertising ID in the settings on your mobile device.
Google Analytics
We use tools like Google Analytics to measure traffic to the Site and how users interact with the Site. At various times, we may also use other tools to measure the efficacy of our marketing campaigns. For more information about Google Analytics, see “How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps” (www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/).
Do Not Track
Currently the Site is not designed to respond to “Do Not Track” signals sent from your browser.
How We May Use Your Information
Service Providers
We may share your Personal Information with third parties that perform functions on our behalf (“Service Providers”) as necessary to carry out your requests, respond to your inquiries or make various features of the Site available to you.

Aggregate Information
We may share aggregated and/or anonymous information that does not directly identify you for our business purposes and that information may be combined with the non-personal information of other users. For example, we may disclose the number of users of certain products or services or the number of visitors to our Site and the activities they conduct while on our Site. We may also share aggregated and/or anonymous information with our business partners for their own business purposes.

In addition, you should be aware that it is not always possible to completely remove or delete all of your information from our databases without some residual data because of backups or other technology-related reasons.

COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.

We do not specifically market or collect information from children under 13 years of age. If we learn that a child under the age of 13 has provided us with any Personal Information without first receiving their parent or guardian’s verified consent, we will use that information only to respond directly to that child (or his or her parent or legal guardian) to inform the child that he or she cannot use the Site. We will then dispose of such Personal Information in accordance with this Policy. If you believe we may have any information from or about a child under the age of 13, please contact us at  Privacy-USA@santen.com.

CAN-SPAM Act

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.
We collect your email address in order to:
・Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions

To be in accordance with CAN-SPAM, we agree to the following:
・Not use false or misleading subjects or email addresses.
・Identify the message as an advertisement in some reasonable way.
・Include the physical address of our business or site headquarters.
・Monitor third-party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used.
・Honor opt-out/unsubscribe requests quickly.
・Allow users to unsubscribe by using the link at the bottom of each email.

If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can contact us and we will promptly remove you from ALL correspondence.

California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law stretches beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and possibly the world) that operate websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on their/its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared.

See more at http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf

According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:
・Users can visit our site anonymously.
・Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page or as a minimum, on the first significant page after entering our website.
・Our Privacy Policy link includes the word ‘Privacy’ and can easily be found on the page specified above.
Your California Privacy Rights
California residents are entitled once a year, free of charge, to request and obtain certain information regarding our disclosure, if any, of personally identifiable information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year. Santen does not share personally identifiable information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes without your consent. For more information, email Privacy-USA@santen.com.
