Reese Pharmaceutical Company (collectively with its subsidiaries, “the Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our,”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your privacy through our compliance with this website privacy policy (the “Policy”).  This Policy should be read in conjunction with our website Terms of Use, into which this Policy is incorporated by reference.

This Policy describes:

  • The types of information we collect from you or that you may provide when you visit our websites, available at: https://reesepharma.wpengine.com; and https://reesespinworm.com/ (“the Websites”).
  • Our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

Please read this Policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your information and how we will treat it.  If you do not agree with our policies and practices, then please do not use our Websites.  By using our Websites, you agree to the terms of this Policy. This Policy may change from time to time (see below, “Changes to this Policy”).  Your continued use of our Websites after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the Policy periodically for updates.

What We Collect and How We Collect It

To ensure that we provide you with the best possible experience, we will store, use, and share information about you in accordance with this Policy.

Information You Provide to Us

Personal Information is any information that can be used to individually identify you from a larger group, such as data including, but not limited to, your:

  • first and last name
  • title (Mr., Mrs., Dr., etc.)
  • email address
  • telephone number
  • mailing address (including City, State, Zip)
  • medical practice
  • doctor’s name
  • comments or messages provided in free text boxes

You may provide us Personal Information when you:

  • request information
  • request flyers and samples
  • submit a question
  • search for a store near you.

 

The information that you provide in each case will vary.

Use of your Personal Information on our Websites is in no way governed by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), and any information you provide to us is not considered protected health information as that term is defined under HIPAA.  Please refrain from providing us any potentially sensitive information through our Websites.

 

Automated Information Collection

In addition to the information that you provide to us, we may also collect information about you during your visit to our Websites.  We collect this information using automated tools that are detailed below.  These tools may collect information about your behavior and your computer system, such as your internet address (IP Address), the pages you have viewed, and the actions you have taken while using the Websites.  Some of the tools we use to automatically collect information about you may include:

  • Cookies. A “cookie” is a small data file transmitted from a website to your computer’s hard drive.  Cookies are usually defined in one of two ways, and we may use both of them:(1) session cookies, which do not stay on your computer after you close your browser, and

    (2) persistent cookies, which remain on your computer until you delete them or they expire.

    We may use cookies on our Websites to monitor your interaction with our marketing campaigns.  These cookies may be delivered by a trusted third party, but will provide us with information when you visit our Websites.  One such trusted third party partner is Google Analytics.  The Websites send aggregated, non-Personal Information to Google Analytics for the purpose of providing us with the ability to conduct technical and statistical analysis on the Website’s performance.  For more information on how Google Analytics supports our Websites and uses information sent from the Websites, please review Google’s privacy policy available at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

 

Of course, if you do not wish to have cookies on your devices, you may turn them off at any time by modifying your internet browser’s settings. However, by disabling cookies on your device, you may be prohibited from full use of the Website’s features or lose access to some functionality.

  • Embedded Web Links. Links provided in our emails and, in some cases, on third party websites may include tracking technology embedded in the link. The tracking is accomplished through a redirection system. The redirection system allows us to understand how the link is being used by email recipients.  Some of these links will enable us to identify that you have personally clicked on the link and this may be attached to the Personal Information that we hold about you. This data is used to improve our service to you and to help us understand the performance of our marketing campaigns.
  • Third Party Websites and Services. We work with a number of service providers of marketing communications technology. These service providers may use various data collection methods to improve the performance of the marketing campaigns we are contracting them to provide. The information collected can be gathered on our Websites and also on the websites where our marketing communications are appearing. For example, we may collect data where our banner advertisements are displayed on third party websites.

Do Not Track Disclosure

Other than as disclosed in this Policy, the Websites do not track users over time and across third party websites to provide targeted advertising. Therefore, the Websites do not operate any differently when it receives Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals from your internet web browser.

Your Choices and Selecting Your Privacy Preferences

We want to provide you with relevant information that you have requested.

If we provide subscription-based services, such as email newsletters, we will allow you to make choices about what information you provide at the point of information collection or at any time after you have received a communication from us while you are subscribed to the service.  Any transactional or service-oriented messages are usually excluded from such preferences, as such messages are required to respond to your requests or to provide goods and services, and are not intended for the purposes of marketing.

We will not intentionally send you email newsletters and marketing emails unless you consent to receive such marketing information.  After you request to receive these emails, you may opt out of them at any time by selecting the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of each email.  Please note that by opting out or unsubscribing you may affect other services you have requested we provide to you, in which email communication is a requirement of the service provided.
