COLLECTION AND USE OF INFORMATION
For each visitor to our Web site, we collect and store the following information about your computer hardware and software: your IP address, your browser software, your operating system, and the Internet address of the Web site from which you linked directly to our site. We collect and store this information on an individual basis and in aggregate, or combined, form. We also collect both user-specific and aggregate information on the pages visitors’ access. This information allows us to deliver any information you request from us, such as product information or training materials. We also use the information to measure the number of visitors to our site, to understand which service providers our visitors use, to improve the content of our web pages, and to customize the content and format. All of this is done with the intention of making our site more useful to visitors.
PURPOSE AND TYPES OF INFORMATION COLLECTED
For the purpose of this Privacy Policy, personal information is the information identified in this Privacy Policy which is information about an identifiable individual (“Personal Information”). Personal Information does not include the name, title, business address or business telephone number of an employee of an organization. In order to use the Web site, it is not necessary for you to provide any information that identifies you personally. In general, you can visit our Web site without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information. However, if you want to access certain features offered through this Web site, it may be necessary to provide Personal Information.
Web site Visitor Information
ZELTIQ routinely gathers information on Web site activities, such as data on how many people visit the Web site, the pages they visit, where they come from, how long they stay, etc. Web site visitor information is collected on an aggregate, anonymous basis, which means that no Personal Information is associated with this data. Such information is gathered through the use of web server logs. A web server log is a file where Web site activity is stored.
PERSONAL INFORMATION
Personal Information is collected on certain pages of the Web site. If you decide to contact ZELTIQ online to ask a question, learn more about the CoolSculpting procedure, or download certain service applications, you will find that those contact forms ask for certain types of Personal Information to assist us in complying with these requests.
ZELTIQ may also ask you to provide Personal Information, some optional, some required, on specific pages of the Web site. The information requested may include your name, address, email address, billing address, phone number, credit card and/or debit card information and your comments. Personal Information may be forwarded to a ZELTIQ business unit or the appropriate ZELTIQ affiliate that is equipped to handle your order, inquiry or feedback.
Personal Information is also collected by means of trade show information, Cool Events, email, voluntary online surveys and as part of any entry for a contest or other promotion. If you choose to enter a contest or other promotion we conduct, you will be required to submit certain Personal Information, such as your name, e-mail address, street address and phone number. We will use the required Personal Information you submit to us for promotion administration purposes, such as notification of winners.
USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We use your Personal Information for three general reasons. First, we use Personal Information to provide you with the services that you request. Second, we may use your Personal Information to send you additional information about our products or information about other products and services in which you might be interested, provided you “opt-in” to receiving such information. Third, we may use your information in aggregate form to help us evaluate and modify existing services, and to help us develop additional services that are likely to be of interest to our users. You can always choose not to be contacted or to “opt-out” on the registration screen on which your Personal Information is entered. If you later decide that you do not want your Personal Information used for these purposes, you may opt-out by sending an e-mail or letter to us as defined below.
