A detailed description of shared use can also be found in the specific Terms of Use for this Site, and in the rules for sweepstakes and promotions.

WHAT ORALGIENE USA DOES (AND DOESN'T DO) WITH THE PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

General ORALGIENE USA uses personally identifiable information only for the purpose for which it is submitted unless we disclose other uses at the time of collection, in which case you will have the opportunity to instruct us not to use your data in other ways (i.e.,"opt-out").

Sharing Personal InformationORALGIENE USA may share personally identifiable information with other ORALGIENE USA companies or with some of our business partners who would like to send you information about their products or services. However, when we collect your information, you will have the opportunity to instruct us not to share your information in these ways.

LINKS/CO-BRANDED SITES

ORALGIENE USA has established relationships with advertisers and reputable business partners that allow visitors to our Site to link directly to sites operated by these partners. Some of these sites may be "co-branded" with an ORALGIENE USA logo; however, they are not operated or maintained by ORALGIENE USA. These sites may collect personal information from you. This Privacy Policy will apply to any personal information we obtain in this manner from our partners.

ORALGIENE USA chooses its advertisers and business partners carefully. However, ORALGIENE USA is not responsible for the content or practices of Web sites operated by third parties that are linked to our Site. These links are meant for the user's convenience only. Links to third party sites do not constitute sponsorship, endorsement, or approval by ORALGIENE USA of the content, policies, or practices of such third party sites. We are not responsible for any information these sites may obtain and do not oversee their policies or practices in collecting personal information. Therefore, once you have left this Site via such a link, you should check the applicable privacy policy of the third party site.

This Site may also be linked to Web sites operated by companies affiliated with ORALGIENE USA. ORALGIENE USA may share information collected by our affiliated companies; however this Privacy Policy will apply to any personal information we receive in this manner. Visitors to our affiliated company's sites should still refer to their separate privacy policies and practices when providing any personally identifiable information.

NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION

When visitors come to our Site, we collect and aggregate information indicating, among other things, which web pages were visited, the order in which they were visited, and which hyperlinks, if any, were "clicked" by the visitor. Collecting such information involves the logging of IP addresses, operating system (e.g., Windows or Macintosh), type of browser software (e.g., Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer), and Internet service providers (e.g., AOL or NET.COM) used by each visitor to the Site. Although such information is not personally identifiable, it can be used to determine the IP address of the visitor's Internet Service Provider and the geographic location of his or her point of connectivity to the Internet.

Cookies are small bits of information that our site places on the hard drive of your computer to enable us to do a number of things to make your visit and future visits to the site more enjoyable. For example, cookies allow a visitor to quickly log on to a site he/she has used before by storing a password. Cookies are not used to obtain information about a user that was not previously provided in a cookie. The cookie itself does not contain any personally identifiable information about a visitor, and ORALGIENE USA does not use cookies in order to obtain such information. ORALGIENE USA will never save credit card information in cookies. Most major sites on the Internet use cookies. Visitors may receive cookies from third parties, but ORALGIENE USA cannot control the content of these cookies. You should consult your browser owner's manual for instructions on how to refuse cookies.

ORALGIENE USA uses non-personally identifiable information and information obtained through the use of cookies in order to improve the Site. By tracking how many people visit our Site and where visitors go on our Site, we are able to determine which part of the Site users like the best, which part needs some improvement, and what changes should be made. By obtaining this information, we are able to continually improve our Site and bring you the best online experience possible. ORALGIENE USA may also disclose some of non-personal information we obtain to advertisers to inform them of how many people have seen or linked to their advertisements on our Site. However, we will never disclose personally identifiable information to these advertisers without your consent.

REVIEWING OR DELETING PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION

Visitors may review or delete personal information from our records at any time. If you would like to review or delete your personal information, please contact us at oralgiene@oralgiene.com or call us at 1-800-933-6725 or write us at Oralgiene USA, Inc. 8460 Higuera Street, Culver City, CA 902323 Attn: Personal Info. If you have requested the deletion of your information, we will immediately delete your information from our database and refrain from collecting any other personally identifiable information from you, if you so request. However, there may be residual information that will remain within our databases that may or may not contain personally identifiable information. This residual information will not be given to any other third party or used for any commercial purpose.

SECURITY AND INTEGRITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

ORALGIENE USA has established and maintains reasonable procedures to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of personal information collected by this Site.

II. ADDITIONAL POLICIES THAT APPLY TO CHILDREN
UNDER 13

KIDS AND INTERNET SAFETY

We at ORALGIENE USA understand that the Internet presents an opportunity for us to reach the public in new and exciting ways with information about our programming, fun games, exciting sweepstakes and contests, e-mail, chat rooms, bulletin boards, and other forms of interactivity. ORALGIENE USA also recognizes the privacy concerns of parents, and the importance of protecting the privacy of the information this Site collects from kids. Parents of kids who visit this Site can be confident that any personal information that may be provided to this Site will be collected and maintained in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"). ORALGIENE USA encourages parents to supervise their kids' activities online and to participate in their kids' online activities whenever possible. However, we understand that parents may not always be able to supervise their kids' activities on the Internet. That's why ORALGIENE USA has developed a Site that parents can feel is safe for their kids and kids will find cool, informative, educational, and fun! Because there's always room for improvement, ORALGIENE USA welcomes any suggestions on how to make the Site a better, safer place to hang out.

Section I of this Privacy Policy applies to the collection of personal information from all visitors to this site, regardless of age. Section II describes the special, additional policies ORALGIENE USA applies to the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information submitted to this Site by kids under 13.

COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION FROM CHILDREN UNDER 13

When a visitor to our Site is under the age of 13, ORALGIENE USA does not require the disclosure of more personally identifiable information than is reasonably necessary for him or her to participate in an activity as a condition of such participation.

ORALGIENE USA may use different types of personally identifiable information submitted to this Site by kids under 13 in a variety of ways, which are described below. In each instance, we comply with the parental consent requirements of COPPA.

A. Use of a Child's Information by ORALGIENE USA

•We may collect a child's e-mail address in connection with a contest, sweepstakes or game for the sole purpose of communicating with the child on a one-time-only basis (i.e., to contact a contest winner). This information will not be used to re-contact the child, and will be deleted from our records when the contest or game is over. Parental consent is obtained before we send the winner a prize.

•We may collect a child's e-mail address in order to respond more than once to a child's specific request. For example, the child may want to subscribe to an online newsletter or receive other online communications from ORALGIENE USA. In these instances, ORALGIENE USA will also obtain a parent's e-mail address along with the child's. Before any further contact with the child, ORALGIENE USA will send an e-mail to the parent (a) notifying him or her we have collected the child's e-mail address in order to respond more than once to the child's request for a subscription, information, etc; (b) informing the parent that he or she can refuse us permission to contact the child, and how to do so; and (c) informing the parent that if he or she does not respond to the e-mail within two (2) weeks, ORALGIENE USA may use the child's information for the purpose for which it was submitted.

•We may collect a child's personally identifiable information (including name, e-mail address, mailing address, and phone number) for such activities as chats, forums, surveys, games, bulletin boards, requests for suggestions, subscription registrations, content submissions, requests for products or services, or requests for additional information. In these instances, we will initially collect only the child's name and online contact information and the e-mail address of the child's parent. Before using this information for any purpose, we will send the parent an e-mail that (a) informs the parent that we wish to collect and use the child's personal information and need the parent's consent to do so, and (b) provides the parent with a link to access to this Privacy Policy, which describes our information collection and use policies as required by COPPA. If the proposed use of the child's personal information does not involve disclosure to a third party, then ORALGIENE USA will ask the parent to provide consent by return e-mail. Upon receipt of the e-mail consent, we will send the parent a confirming e-mail. If the proposed use of the child's personal information involves disclosure to third parties, the e-mail we send to the parent will ask the parent either to (i) return by postal mail or fax a consent form that will be attached to the e-mail, or (ii) call a toll-free number where consent can be given over the phone. If parental consent is not obtained by one of these methods within one (1) week, ORALGIENE USA will delete all of the child's and parent's personally identifiable information from its records. In addition, parents can revoke a prior consent at any time.

•We may collect a child's name and e-mail address to the extent reasonably necessary to protect the security of this Site, to protect against liability, or as required or permitted by law. Information collected for these reasons will not be used for any other purpose.

B. Sharing Children's Personal Information with Third Parties. ORALGIENE USA may share a child's personal information with our affiliated companies and promotional partners for their marketing purposes. As noted above, parents may exercise their option not to consent to the disclosure of their child's personal information to third parties. Parents may consent to ORALGIENE USA's collection and use of a child's personal information without consenting to the disclosure of the information to third parties. ORALGIENE USA will only share personal information about a child with third parties only if ORALGIENE USA has received parental consent.

LINKS/CO-BRANDED SITES

As noted in Section I of this Privacy Policy, this Site may link directly to sites operated by ORALGIENE USA 's advertisers, business partners, and affiliated companies. Those sites, which are not controlled by ORALGIENE USA, may collect personal information from your child. Parents should therefore check the relevant site's privacy policy to understand how it collects and uses kids' personal information. ORALGIENE USA will not share in any personal information obtained by a site from a child under the age of 13 unless that site follows the requirements of COPPA.

REVIEWING OR DELETING PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION COLLECTED FROM CHILDREN UNDER 13

Parents of kids under age 13 may review or delete personal information about their kids from our records at any time. If you would like to review or delete your child's personal information, please contact us at oralgiene@oralgiene.com call us at 1-800-933-6725 or write us at Oralgiene USA, Inc. 8460 Higuera Street, Culver City, CA 902323, Attn: Personal Info. If you have requested deletion of your child's information, we will immediately delete your child's information from our database and refrain from collecting any other personally identifiable information from your child. However, there may be residual information that will remain within our databases that may or may not contain personally identifiable information. This residual information will not be given to any other third party or used for any commercial purpose.
