Purpose of this Privacy Statement

Mead Johnson Nutrition (UK) Ltd, respects the privacy of visitors to this Website and understands that information about you, your health, your child’s health, and your health care is sensitive. Except as provided in the Transfer of Control section of this Website’s Internet Privacy Statement, Mead Johnson Nutrition will not sell or rent your personally identifiable information.

Mead Johnson Nutrition developed this Internet Privacy Statement to provide information about our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information that you may provide when you visit this Website.

We encourage you to read this Internet Privacy Statement before using this Website or submitting information. By using this Website, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to the terms of the Internet Privacy Statement.

Information Voluntarily Provided by Users

You can visit much of the Website without telling us who you are or providing us with other personally identifiable information. Some areas of the Website allow you to contact us to ask questions or provide comments. When you communicate with us and request a response, we ask for your name and contact information. We intend to let you know how we will use such information before we collect it from you; if you tell us that you do not want us to use this information to make further contact with you beyond fulfilling your requests, we will respect your wishes.

Some areas of the Website may also require that you submit information in order to access specific content, features, interactive tools, services or participate in a particular activity. For example, to create an online account or to subscribe to a newsletter, we may ask for your name, contact information, and perhaps additional information so we can tailor our response to your request.

In addition, when you access certain interactive tools or services, you may be asked to provide personally identifiable information. You may always choose not to provide the required information, but then you may not be able to participate in the particular activity that requires the information.

Use and Disclosure of Your Personally Identifiable Information That You Provide Voluntarily

We may personalise and customise this Website for certain visitors.

If you provide information about yourself via a contact form, you may find it customised with references to products and/or services that we believe may be of interest to you, based on your previous interactions and information you have provided to us.

If you do provide us with personally identifiable information, such as your name, postal address, email address, telephone number, or other information such as your education level, or personal medical information, you agree that we may contact you through a variety of means such as postal mail, phone, or e-mail to provide you with information we believe may be of interest to you unless you opt out of this service by contacting us as indicated below.

If you opt-in to the Mead Johnson Nutrition program, we may share your information with providers of services to Mead Johnson Nutrition who help us develop programs and provide services that may be of interest to you, or for information processing, mailing, and/or Internet-based delivery purposes.

Except as provided in the Transfer of Control section, Mead Johnson Nutrition will not sell or rent your personally identifiable information. In addition, as stated in the Transfer of Control section, your personally identifiable information may be shared with actual or potential parties to a contemplated transaction where we decide to reorganize or divest part or all of a business or a line of our business, without obtaining your consent or any further notice to you. In such circumstances, we will seek written assurances that personally identifiable information submitted through this web site will be protected appropriately.

Use and Disclosure of Non-Personally Identifiable Information

Mead Johnson Nutrition will not treat as confidential any information that you provide that is not personally identifiable, such as questions, comments, ideas, or suggestions.
