Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. (“Kowa”), respects the privacy of every individual visiting our websites. This Privacy Policy discloses the online information gathering and dissemination practices of Kowa. Please be sure to read this entire Privacy Policy before using or submitting information to this website.

Our Privacy Policy only applies to Kowa-owned and -licensed websites, which include www.livalorx.com, www.livalohcp.com, www.takecholesteroltoheart.com, www.kowapharma.com, www.lipofenrx.com, and any other Kowa product website that links to this Privacy Policy.

Personally Identifiable Information

Kowa may collect personally identifiable information (such as name, address, telephone/fax number, and e-mail address) only when voluntarily provided by a visitor to our websites. This information will not be used for any direct marketing or unsolicited follow-up unless we have previously informed you of this possible use and you have given us your express permission when submitting it. Kowa may use this information for such purposes as:

• Sending you paper publications or other correspondence
• Sending you e-mail press releases or notification
• Delivering goods or prizes

Collection of Browser, Log, and Statistical Information

We may collect and/or track information provided to us by your browser, including the website you came from, the type of browser you use, the time and date of access, and other information that does not personally identify you. In addition, we may gather information about you that is automatically collected by our web server, such as your IP address and domain name.

Kowa may make use of non-personally identifiable statistical information collected from users (browser type, geographical location, age, gender) for optimization of its websites as part of its continual internal review process and in a general way to learn more about its clients. We may use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track users’ movements, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. This information will not be disclosed to third parties by Kowa. This data will only be used for the stated purpose and will not be used for any unsolicited communication unless you give us permission.

Cookies

Kowa may utilize "cookies," web beacons, and other similar technologies on our website. We may use first- and/or third-party "browser" or "HTTP" cookies, which are unique text files that may be used for data analysis and enable our website to tailor information for the visitor. We may use browser cookies for purposes such as to personalize the user's experience on our site, to remember a user when the user registers for products or services, for fraud prevention, or to track visits to our websites. We also may use "web beacons" (also referred to as pixel tags, clear gifs, or other terms) or similar technologies to collect information such as how long a visitor remains on a particular page. If you do not want us to deploy browser cookies to your device when you visit our websites, you may set the browser to reject cookies or to notify the user when a website tries to place cookies in the browser program (see below). Rejecting cookies may affect your ability to use some of the features offered by the website. If you use our website without setting your browser to block cookies, you consent to the placement of cookies on your device.

Third parties, including our service providers or marketing partners, may collect information about a visitor to our site over time and/or across different websites when the visitor uses our website. This information often is aggregate data or individual information that is tied to a browser or device rather than specific identifiers such as the visitor's name and address, but some of this information might be considered to be personally identifiable under some federal or state laws.

Some Internet browsers offer what often is referred to as "do-not-track" mechanisms for browser users to automatically signal privacy preferences to websites that they visit. Our site(s) do not currently respond to do-not-track signals; however, you can exercise other choices available to you, including limiting the placement of browser cookies on your device using your browser's cookie control features and other choices described in this Policy.

If we receive a request from law enforcement officials or judicial authorities to provide information on individuals, we may provide such information.
