PRIVACY
Last revised: January 23, 2006
Allergan respects your privacy and recognizes the need for appropriate protection and management of any personally identifiable information you may share with us (the phrase “personally identifiable information” or “personal information” means any information by which you can be identified, such as your name, address, telephone number, etc). The purpose of this Privacy Statement is to inform you what personally identifiable information or personal information we may collect from you when you visit our Web site, how we use such information, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to review and correct, the information collected. As we may revise our privacy policies from time to time, you should therefore periodically visit this page to review the then-current Privacy Statement.
How we collect information
In general, you can visit many of our Web pages without telling us who you are or revealing any personally identifiable information. We may track the Internet domain address from which people visit us and analyze this data for trends and statistics, but individual users will remain anonymous, unless you voluntarily tell us who you are.
There may be times when we ask you to provide certain personal information about yourself such as your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, etc. Whether or not to provide such information is completely your own choice; Allergan collects only the personal information that you provide to us. If you choose not to provide the information we request, you may be unable to access certain services, offers, and content on our Web site.
Cookies
To enable Allergan to provide customized and personalized services, Allergan may use cookies to store and sometimes track information about you. A cookie is a small amount of data sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer. Cookies, by themselves, do not tell us any personally identifiable information about you; however, if you choose to furnish the site with personally identifiable information (such as your e-mail address), that information could be linked to the data stored in the cookie. Allergan reserves the right to change our use of cookies and our practices regarding linkage to personally identifiable information without any prior notification.
How we use the information we collect
We use the information we automatically receive from your Web browser to see which pages you visit within the Web site. We can then develop statistics that are helpful to understanding how this site is used by our visitors. These statistical data are interpreted by Allergan in its continuing effort to present the Web site content that visitors are seeking in the format they find most helpful.
When Allergan receives personally identifiable information, we may use it for reasonable business purposes such as contacting you, via e-mail or regular mail, to provide you with information we believe may be of interest. If you e-mail us, you are voluntarily releasing information to us. Your e-mail address will be used by Allergan to respond to you.
Third-party use of information
Allergan will not sell, share, or otherwise distribute your personally identifiable information to third parties outside Allergan and its affiliated entities except as provided herein. Specifically, personally identifiable information may occasionally be transferred to third parties who act on behalf of Allergan, or its business, for further processing in accordance with the purposes for which the data were originally collected. Where disclosure of personally identifiable information to a third party is likely or necessary, further explanation may be provided, where appropriate, at such collection points as to the intended use of the data. We will require that such third parties protect the information and, where appropriate, we will contractually require them to process data transferred only for the purposes expressly authorized by Allergan.
Because of the nature of the Internet, we may transmit the information to another country, but remaining within our system, for purposes other than direct marketing, such as for storage, or because of where our servers are located. We may also use the information to investigate security breaches or cooperate with authorities pursuant to a legal matter. We may also remove the personally identifiable information and use the other information for historical, statistical, or scientific purposes. This Web site contains links to other Web sites. Be aware that Allergan is not responsible for the privacy practices of other Web sites. We encourage you to review the privacy statements of any Web sites that you visit through a link on this Web site.

In order to respect the privacy of children online, we do not knowingly collect, maintain, or process personal information submitted by children under the age of 13. If you have a child under the age of 13 whom you believe may have provided information to us, please e-mail us at corpinfo@allergan.com and we shall expeditiously delete it.
