also use that information to contact you. We will not sell or transfer
your personally identified information to any third party unless disclosed
to you when you submit your information.
Our use of Cookies

at where our visitors have been referred from (the last URL you visited

store many types of data, and help provide additional functionality to
our Web site. Cookies do not collect personally identifiable information.

How We Use Email
When you provide us your email address, you may receive emails from
us. E-mails may be sent in order to assist us in processing your order,
respond to a request, provide customer service or inform you about products,
services or promotional materials. It is our intent to send promotional
e-mails only to those persons who wish to receive them. We provide instructions

Links to Other Sites
We may provide links on our websites to other sites. These sites operate
independently of Valeant and have established their own privacy and security
policies. We encourage you to review these policies at any site you visit.
Policy Changes
From time to time, we may use your information for unanticipated uses
not previously disclosed in our privacy notice. If our information practices

Your Consent
By using Valeant's facilities, websites and continuing to order products
and services, you consent to the collection and use of your personal
information as detailed in this privacy policy.
Storage and security of your personal information
Valeant will endeavour to take all reasonable steps to keep secure any information which we hold about you, and to keep this information accurate and up to date. Your information is stored on secure servers that are protected in controlled facilities. We require our employees and data processors to respect the confidentiality of any personal information held by Valeant. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot give an absolute assurance that the information you provide to us will be secure at all times. Valeant will not be held responsible for events arising from unauthorised access to your personal information.
Please note also that Valeant may use overseas facilities to process or back up its information. As a result, we may transfer and store your personal information to our overseas facilities. However, this does not change any of our commitments to safeguard your privacy.
