Otsuka is also obligated to collect certain Personal Information to comply with regulatory requirements, including information relating to adverse effects you have experienced when using our products.

Otsuka's agreements with these Third Party-sources typically limit how the Company may use this supplemental information.
2.5 Research/Survey Solicitations
From time to time, Otsuka may perform research (online and offline) via surveys. We may engage Third Party service providers to conduct such surveys on our behalf. All survey responses are voluntary, and the information collected will be used for research and reporting purposes to help us better serve Individuals by learning more about their needs and the quality of the products, services and educational information we provide. The survey responses may be utilized to determine the effectiveness of our Sites, various types of communications, advertising campaigns and/or promotional activities. If an Individual participates in a survey, the information given will be used along with that of other study participants. We may share de-identified and/or aggregate data for research and analysis purposes.

2.9 All Internet Users – Cookies, Pixel Tags/Web Beacons, Analytics Information, and Interest-Based Advertising
2.9.1 Cookies
Like many other websites, Otsuka or its Third Party-service providers may employ a cookie, or small piece of computer code that enables Web servers to "identify" visitors, each time an Individual initiates a session on the Company's Sites. A cookie is set in order to: identify Individuals; tailor our Sites to you; measure and research the effectiveness of our Sites' features, offerings and advertisements; and, authenticate users for registered services. In addition, Otsuka or its Third Party-service providers may collect information from your browser or device for interest-based advertising, using cookies or similar technologies. Cookies can only access Personal Information that you have provided on our Sites and cannot be accessed by other sites. You also have the ability to delete cookie files from your own hard drive at any time by clicking on the Privacy or History tab typically found on the Settings or Options menu in your internet browser. However, please also be advised that cookies may be necessary to provide access to much of the content and many of the features of Otsuka's Sites. To learn more about cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
2.9.2 Pixel Tags/Web Beacons
Otsuka may use "pixel tags," also known as "web beacons," which are small graphic files that allow us to monitor the use of our Sites. A pixel tag can collect information such as: the Internet Protocol ("IP") address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the tag appears; the URL of the page on which the pixel tag appears; the time the page containing the pixel tag was viewed; the browser type and language; the device type; geographic location; and, the identification number of any cookie on the computer previously placed by that server. When corresponding with you via HTML capable email, we or our Third Party-service providers may use "format sensing" technology, which allows pixel tags to let us know whether you received and opened our email.
2.9.3 Analytics Information
We may also use Google Analytics and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting to collect information regarding visitor behavior and visitor demographics on some of our Sites, and to develop website content. This analytics data is not tied to any Personal Information. For more information about Google Analytics, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can opt out of Google's collection and processing of data generated by your use of the Services by going to http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
2.9.4 Interest-Based Advertising
Through our Sites, in certain instances, Otsuka allows Third Party advertising partners to set tracking tools (e.g., cookies) to collect information regarding your activities (e.g., your IP address, page(s) visited, time of day). We may also share such information we have collected with Third Party advertising partners. These advertising partners may use this information (and similar information collected from other websites) for purposes of delivering targeted advertisements to you when you visit non-Otsuka related websites within their networks. This practice is commonly referred to as "interest-based advertising" or "online behavioral advertising."
2.10 Mobile Devices
Otsuka may provide websites and online resources that are specifically designed to be compatible and used on mobile devices. Otsuka will collect certain information that your mobile device sends when you use such websites or online resources, like a device identifier, user settings and the operating system of your device.
Mobile versions of Otsuka's Sites may require that users log in with an account. In such cases, information about use of each mobile version of the website may be associated with user accounts. In addition, Otsuka may enable Individuals to download an application, widget or other tool that can be used on mobile or other computing devices. Some of these tools may store information on mobile or other devices. These tools may transmit Personal Information to Otsuka to enable Individuals to access user accounts and to enable Otsuka to track use of these tools. Some of these tools may enable users to email reports and other information from the tool. Otsuka may use personal or non-identifiable information transmitted to the Company to enhance these tools, to develop new tools, for quality improvement and as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy or in other notices Otsuka provides.
2.11 De-Identified and Aggregated Information
Otsuka may use your Personal Information and other information about you to create de-identified and aggregated information, such as de-identified demographic information, de-identified location information, information about the computer or device from which you access the Otsuka Site or other online services, or other analyses we create. De-identified and aggregated information is used for a variety of functions, including the measurement of visitors' interest in and use of various portions or features of the Sites. De-identified or aggregated information is not Personal Information, and Otsuka may use such information in a number of ways, including research, internal analysis, analytics and any other legally permissible purposes. We may share this information within Otsuka and with Third Parties for our or their purposes in a de-identified or aggregated form that is designed to prevent anyone from identifying you.
3.0 Choice/Methods to Opt Out
You have the right to opt out of certain uses and disclosures of your Personal Information, as set out in this Privacy Policy. Where you have consented to Otsuka's processing of your Personal Information you may withdraw that consent at any time and opt out by following the included opt out instructions.
3.1 Communications
An "Unsubscribe" option will be provided on certain communications by Otsuka so you can opt out of future communications. However, we may continue to send transaction-related communication regarding products or services you have requested in response to such request. We may need to send you certain communications regarding the Otsuka programs and services and you will not be able to opt out of those communications.
3.2 "Do Not Track"
Do Not Track ("DNT") is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. DNT is a way for users to inform websites and services that they do not want certain information about their webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. Otsuka does not recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals. For information about "do-not-track", visit http://www.allaboutdnt.org.
3.3 Advertising Choices
Otsuka may use information related to your browsing activities for interest-based advertising purposes. The online advertising industry provides websites from which you may opt out of receiving targeted ads from participants self-regulatory programs. You can access these websites and learn more about targeted advertising and consumer choice and privacy, at www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp, http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/, https://youradchoices.ca/choices/, and www.aboutads.info/choices/. To separately make choices for mobile apps on a mobile device, you can download DAA's AppChoices application from your device's app store. Alternatively, for some devices you may use your device's platform controls in your settings to exercise choice.
Please note you must separately opt out in each browser and on each device. Advertisements on third party websites that contain the AdChoices link may have been directed to you based on information collected by advertising partners over time and across websites. These advertisements provide a mechanism to opt out of the advertising partners' use of this information for interest-based advertising purposes.
Even if you opt-out, we may still collect and use information regarding your browsing activities on our Sites and/or information from the advertisements on Third Party websites for non-interest-based advertising purposes, such as to determine the effectiveness of the advertisements.
4.0 Onward Transfer

In such cases, our business partner's name will appear, along with Otsuka's. Otsuka requires our affiliates and business partners to agree to maintain the confidentiality and security of Personal Information they maintain on our behalf and not to use it for any purpose other than the purpose for which it was provided.
4.1.3 Information Disclosed for Our Protection and the Protection of Others
We may disclose information about you: (i) if we are required to do so by law, court order or legal process; (ii) in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements; (iii) under the discovery process in litigation; (iv) to enforce Otsuka policies or contracts; (v) to collect amounts owed to Otsuka; (vi) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation or prosecution of suspected or actual illegal activity; or, (vii) if we, in good faith, believe that disclosure is otherwise necessary or advisable. In addition, from time to time, server logs may be reviewed for security purposes, e.g., to detect unauthorized activity on the Sites. In such cases, server log data containing IP addresses may be shared where applicable with law enforcement bodies in order that they may identify users in connection with their investigation of the unauthorized activities.
4.1.4 Information Disclosed in Connection with Business Transactions
We reserve the right to disclose or transfer any information we have about you in the event of a proposed or actual purchase, any reorganization, sale, lease, merger, joint venture, assignment, amalgamation or any other type of acquisition, disposal or financing of all or any portion of our business or of any of the business assets or shares (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceeding). Should such an event occur, Otsuka will endeavor to direct the transferee to use Personal Information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.
4.2 Data Transfers
All Personal Information sent or collected via or by Otsuka may be stored anywhere in the world, including but not limited to, in the United States, in the cloud, our servers, the servers of our affiliates or the servers of our service providers. We will endeavor that any such transfers of Personal Information of an individual residing in the European Union outside of the European Economic Area will only be made where appropriate safeguards have been put in place.
Your Personal Information may be accessible to law enforcement or other authorities pursuant to a lawful request. By providing information to Otsuka, you consent to the storage of your Personal Information in these locations.
5.0 Your Privacy Rights
We encourage you to update the information you provide to us, such as providing us with a new mailing or email address, a name change, or a change in other material information you have notified us about. This will help us continue to provide information to you that best meets your needs.
In accordance with applicable law, you may have the right to: (i) request confirmation of whether we are processing Personal Information about you; (ii) obtain access to or a copy of your Personal Information; (iii) receive an electronic copy of Personal Information that you have provided to us, or ask us to send that information to another company (the "right of data portability"); (iv) restrict our uses of your Personal Information; (v) seek correction or amendment of inaccurate, untrue, incomplete, or improperly processed Personal Information; (vi) withdraw your consent; and, (vii) request erasure of Personal Information held about you by us, subject to certain exceptions prescribed by law.

To protect your privacy, we will take steps to verify your identity, including requiring proof of identity before fulfilling request(s). Although Otsuka makes good faith efforts to provide Individuals with access to their Personal Information, there may be circumstances in which Otsuka is unable to provide access, including but not limited to: where the information contains legal privilege, would compromise others' privacy or other legitimate rights, where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the Individual's privacy in the case in question, or where it is commercially proprietary. If Otsuka determines that access should be restricted in any particular instance, we will provide you with an explanation of why that determination has been made and a contact point for any further inquiries.
Otsuka does not discriminate or retaliate against anyone for exercising their individual rights under applicable laws, rules, or regulations.
