Purpose of This Privacy Policy

Mead Johnson & Company respects the privacy of its customers, including visitors to its websites, and understands that information about you, your health, and your health care is sensitive. Mead Johnson Nutrition will not sell or rent your personally identifiable information to third parties, except as provided in the Transfer of Control section of this Privacy Policy. Mead Johnson Nutrition developed this Privacy Policy to provide information about our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information that you may provide. We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy before submitting information or using this website. By submitting information or using this website, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to the terms of the Privacy Policy.

Information Voluntarily Provided by Website Visitors

You can visit much of our website without telling us who you are or providing us with other personally identifiable information. Some areas of our 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 our website may also require that you submit information 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 an email 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 requested information, but then you may not be able to participate in the particular activity that requires the information.

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

We may personalize and customize our website for certain visitors. From time to time we may ask you to respond to optional survey questions to further personalize your experience as our customer. If you provide information about yourself, you may find the website customized 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 regarding you, your infant or your child, you agree that we may contact you through a variety of means such as postal mail, telephone, or email 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 in the Questions section of this Privacy Policy. If you enroll in a Mead Johnson Nutrition program, we may also provide your information to the service providers who help Mead Johnson Nutrition develop programs and provide services that may be of interest to you, or for information processing, postal mailing, and/or Internet-based delivery purposes. We may also share your information with other Mead Johnson Nutrition companies who might invite you to participate in one of their programs. Mead Johnson Nutrition will not sell or rent your personally identifiable information to third parties, except as provided in the Transfer of Control section. To help provide our services, we occasionally provide information to other companies that work on our behalf. We require these companies to keep your information secure and they may not use or disclose this information for any purpose other than providing the services on our behalf.. 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 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 will be protected appropriately. Your personally identifiable information will be maintained by Mead Johnson Nutrition until such time that you ask us to remove it, or until such time as the information is removed as part of our record retention practices.

Update and Correction of Personally Identifiable Information

When we collect personally identifiable information from you, such as your name, postal address, email address, etc., you may tell us that you do not want it used for further marketing contact and we will respect your wishes. You can update your marketing options via opt-out instructions at the bottom of any email from us or, if you have registered for the website, via the Profile Update feature.

Alternatively, except as limited in the Regulatory Requirements section of this Privacy Policy, you may update or correct your personally identifiable information or opt-out from our mailings and other services that you may have previously requested, by contacting us through the email address or phone number listed in the Questions section of this Privacy Policy.

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. You should be aware that Mead Johnson Nutrition will be free to disclose through any reasonable means and use for any internal marketing, internal research, or customer service purposes, such information in its sole discretion. By providing such information to Mead Johnson Nutrition, you understand and agree that no relationship has been created between Mead Johnson Nutrition and you, and Mead Johnson Nutrition has no obligation to you whatsoever regarding that information.
