Allergan respects your privacy. This website ("Site") collects only the personal information that you choose to provide, and Allergan uses the information only for its legitimate business purposes. Allergan will not sell, share, or otherwise distribute your personally identifiable information to third parties for their purposes. Please read our full policy and let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
How We Collect Information
Allergan recognizes your need for appropriate protection and management of personally identifiable information you share with us (the phrases "personally identifiable 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 we may collect from you when you visit our Site, and how we use such information, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to review and correct, the 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.
If you choose to provide us with information about yourself, such as your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, etc., we will respect the trust that you have placed in us. Whether or not to provide such information is completely your own choice; Allergan collects only the personal information that you provide to us. But if you choose not to provide the information we request, you may be unable to access certain services, offers, and content on our Site.
How We Use Information We Collect
We use the information which is automatically received from your Web browser to see which pages you visit within our Site. Such information is used to develop statistics that are helpful to understanding how this Site is used by our visitors. This statistical data is interpreted by Allergan in its continuing effort to present the Site content that visitors are seeking in a 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 except as provided herein and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Allergan does not share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes; so there is no such sharing to opt-out of.
Personally identifiable information may occasionally be transferred to service provider third parties who act for or on behalf of Allergan, or in connection with the business of Allergan, for further processing in accordance with the purposes for which the data was originally collected. We 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.
Your identity and the information you provide may be shared with your doctor, if you allow us to do so and tell us the identity of your doctor. Such will only be shared with your doctor if you have indicated to us that you would like to receive the quarterly e-mail newsletter and/or that you would like to receive future e-mail communications about Allergan products, programs, and services.
In case of a security breach or pursuant to a legal matter that requires cooperation with authorities, your identity and the information you provide may be used for investigation purposes. Allergan may also remove all the personally identifiable information and use the rest for historical, statistical, or scientific purposes.
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 that is 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.
Children
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 18. If you have a child under the age of 18 who you believe may have provided information to us, please e-mail us at corpinfo@allergan.com and we shall expeditiously delete it.
Internet Information Security
We take reasonable precautions to ensure that any personally identifiable information you provide on this Site is kept confidential and stored in a secure environment, and that only those personnel with legitimate business purposes will have access to this information. Even so, we cannot guarantee that data provided to us will not be subject to loss, alteration, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, or destruction. It is important to be aware that all internet transmissions are subject to security breaches and errors. You should take precautions in choosing the information you send to Allergan via email and safeguard any passwords or special types of identification you use to access this Site.
California Privacy Rights
California Civil Code Section 1798.83 entitles California customers to request information concerning whether a business has disclosed “Personal Information” to any third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Except as provided in this Privacy Policy, Allergan will not sell or share your Personal Data for marketing purposes without your consent.
