SECURITY

Taro cares about the security and confidentiality of your Personal Information. We seek to maintain commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security, collection, storage, and processing measures to protect against the unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of the Personal Information you submit to us. However, no website is completely secure, error-free, or “hacker proof.” You are responsible for taking reasonable steps to protect your Personal Information against unauthorized disclosure or misuse. We cannot guarantee that your use of our Sites or Services will be completely safe, and we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you provide to us. We do not accept liability for unintentional disclosure. We are not responsible for third-party circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures.

CHILDREN

We do not knowingly collect or store Personal Information from anyone under the age of 13 unless or except as permitted by law. ANY PERSON WHO VISITS ANY OF THE SITES OR USES THE SERVICES REPRESENTS TO US THAT HE OR SHE IS 13 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER. If we are made

aware that we have received Personal Information from someone under 13, we will use reasonable efforts to remove that information from our records.

COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

Taro uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. A cookie is a small data file that our server sends to your browser when you visit the Sites. The use of cookies helps us to provide certain functionality on the Sites. You may be able to set your Internet browser to disable, turn the cookie feature off, or reject cookies entirely by changing the settings. Changing these settings, however, may affect your ability to use certain features and functions of the Sites. Please note that by visiting or using the Sites you are consenting to the use of cookies. For more information about third-party cookies, including information about how to opt out of these technologies, click here.

 

The Sites may also use other technologies, including, but not limited to, JavaScript tags or tracking pixels to collect, process, and store browsing information as described above. Tracking pixels and tags assist in delivering cookies and allow us to collect browsing information about you. Tracking pixels or tags may also be included in the emails we send you in order to determine whether the emails have been opened and if you have clicked on links within the email.

The Sites may use first-party cookies (set by Taro) and third-party cookies (set by web analytics partners). The cookies used on our Sites may be persistent or session based. A session cookie is a piece of information that is enabled only during a particular website session. Session cookie files are deleted after logging off the Internet browser or powering off your computer. In contrast, a persistent cookie is not deleted after logging off an Internet browser or powering off your computer but “persists” between sessions. Both types of cookies provide statistical information as well as help make improvements in navigation of the Sites.

As noted, Taro may use third-party analytics tools, including Google Analytics, to help us measure traffic and usage trends on our Sites. These tools utilize cookies and other technologies to collect information sent by your devices to our Sites, including:

  • Your browser name;
  • Demographic data about you;
  • The pages you visit on the Sites;
  • Your existing applications;
  • Whether you have previously accessed the Sites;
  • The IP (Internet Protocol) address for your computer;
  • Your mobile network information;
  • Navigational data, also known as log files, server logs, or clickstream data; and
  • Anonymous IDs for advertising.

Note that these third-party service providers have their own privacy policies addressing how they use such information. To opt out of Google Analytics on the Sites, go to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

 

At this time, we do not respond to browser Do Not Track signals.
