You care about the protection of your Personal Data – so do we. At Lupin Inc. ("Lupin"), we endeavor to ensure and maintain the privacy and data security of all Personal Data collected or retrieved by your use, as a visitor, of our websites. The term "Personal Data" as used throughout this Pledge refers to any information by which you may be personally identified, such as name, postal address, email address, telephone number, or any other identified by which you may be contacted, identified, located or tracked.
This Pledge applies to Personal Data collected by or on behalf of Lupin and its service providers through this website, online resources and communications.

Our Pledge complies with internationally recognized standards of privacy protection. Please read this Pledge carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use our Website. By accessing or using this Website, you agree to this privacy policy. This policy may change from time to time (see Contact). Your continued use of this Website after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates. Should you have any questions about this Pledge or our Personal Data practices, please contact us at ComplianceOffice@Lupin.com.
CATEGORIES OF PERSONAL DATA
As most of our website content is informational and does not require account creation or registration, individuals may access many parts of our websites and online resources without disclosing any Personal Data. However, where we do collect Personal Data, we do so online through websites and other online resources. We also offer online resources in collaboration with other online service providers, from which we may receive Personal Data about users of such resources. These online collaborations are governed by agreements that require Personal Data to be protected appropriately. There are three methods that we use to collect Personal Data on our Website:
1. Information that you provide: We collect Personal Data and other data that you or your household may enter into forms or data fields on our websites or online resources. Such information may include, but not be limited to, contact information (such as your name, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number), date of birth, professional credentials, experiences, activities, skills, preferences, hobbies and interests. We may also collect, when relevant for the processing purpose, health information about you that you provide by responding to our questions and surveys or through your use of online and downloadable health-related tools we provide.
2. Information from public or third party sources: We may collect Personal Data about health care professionals who register on our websites from public or third-party sources to verify their professional credentials and identity. We may also collect Personal Data about you from third parties and public internet source via what is known as social media listening, examples including social networking, communities, forums, message boards, blogging. We may combine that data with Personal Data or other data we collect. This enhances our existing data about our users (e.g., adding address data), improves our ability to contact you, and enhances our marketing capabilities.
3. Information collected from your computer or other electronic device: We collect information about your computer or other electronic device when you visit our websites and use our online resources. This information may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, Internet Service Provider (ISP), domain name, browser type, operating system, location, websites you visit before or after you visit this website, pages you click on this website, search requests, date and time of your requests, the amount of time spent on the website and information provided by tracking technologies, such as cookies, singlepixel tags, local share objects (Flash), local storage, Etags and scripts. If you leave one of our websites without becoming a registered user, we may use cookies in conjunction with third parties to service advertisements to your computer or other electronic device to remind you about our website that you had previously visited. Please reference our Cookie Policy Section for more information about cookies and how you can control them. If you use a mobile device to access our websites and online resources, we may also collect information about your device, such as your device ID and device type, as well as usage information about your device and your use of our mobile websites and other mobile resources.
We may use other companies to deliver email communications on our behalf or to place our advertisements on other websites. Please review the privacy policies of these third parties to familiarize yourself with their practices.
INTENDED USE OF PERSONAL DATA
We may use all categories of Personal Data listed above for the following business purposes:
As Stated or Agreed to at the Point of Collection. We may use Personal Data for the purposes stated or agreed-to (or as is obvious) at the point of collection. For example, we use Personal Information to respond to your questions, comments, or complaints. We may also use Personal Information as requested or consented to by you.
Administration. We use Personal Data for administrative purposes, such as managing your accounts, facilitating transactions, to inform our business strategies, to understand the Site's demographics and user preferences, for evaluating applications, and managing profiles.

Advertising/Marketing. We may use Personal Data to send you promotions or to perform targeted advertising, to notify you of new services, products or programs, to notify you of new features of our website, to notify you of changes to our Terms or this Policy, and for other similar communications. Social medial listening is the process by which we identify and assess what is being said about a company, individual, product or brand on the Internet. We will only collect relevant, adequate and not excessive publicly available Personal Data. Because of the nature of Social Media, it may not be possible for us to identify the individual who posted the original content that we collect. If Personal Data is collected and will be processed beyond the original intent when you posted the content, reasonable efforts will be made to provide notice to you as soon as is practical. Note, in some cases, it may not be possible to collect and verify your contact details given the available information. Reasonable efforts might entail identifying your contact details from the social media platform, if possible, or within the posting. Moreover, we will make reasonable efforts to provide you with a mechanism by which to opt-out of our data processing or exercise your rights as required by our policy and applicable regulations.
To Protect Our Rights. We may use Personal Data to protect our legal rights or interests, or those of third parties, including to bring a legal action against you or anyone who may be causing harm to us, our Site, or to other users of the Site. We may also use Personal Information to seek business, financial or legal advice, and to respond to other legal requests.
Consistent with the purposes identified and standards set within this Pledge and other applicable privacy notices that have been provided, in some cases we consolidate and use Personal Data that individuals share with us through various services and channels, such as the telephone, surveys, websites and other online resources and communications, in order to enhance the quality of services that we offer.
