Whenever a page is requested from our Web server, we record the time, date and URL of the request, along with information on the browser being used. Our Site uses "cookies". Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site can transfer to an individual's own computer. Cookies make using Our Site easier by storing information about your preferences so that you may take full advantage of the services we offer. The use of cookies is an industry standard, and you'll find most major Web sites use them. Most Internet browsers are pre-set to accept cookies. If you prefer not to receive cookies, you can adjust your Internet browser to disable cookies or to warn you when cookies are being used. Conceptus gathers usage information from Our Site and other Web sites which is aggregated for reporting purposes. Personally identifiable data are not collected unless you specifically provide such data. This data is gathered by us to examine Internet trends and to assist in improving the structure and ease of use of Our Site. We may also use third-party measuring services for anonymous profiling of users. No personally identifiable information is collected by these companies from Our Site.

We take great care to ensure that your personal information is stored securely on our servers. Transmissions sent to or from Our Site are routinely monitored for quality control and systems administration. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. These activities are conducted at your own risk. How to ensure we hold accurate information Conceptus takes reasonable precautions to ensure that the personal information we collect, use and disclose is accurate, complete and up-to-date. However, the accuracy of the information we hold depends on the information you provide. Please let us know if there are any errors in your personal information, and keep us up to date with changes to your personal information, such as your name or address. Generally, if you request us to do so, we will amend any personal information about you held by us which is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. If we disagree with you about the accuracy, completeness or currency of a record of your personal information held by us, we will take reasonable steps to associate with that record a statement to the effect that you claim this to be the case, if you request us to do so. Accessing your personal information You have a right to access your personal information, subject to some exceptions allowed by law. If you would like to do so, or you are concerned that we may have breached your privacy and wish to make a complaint, please let us know by sending an email to info@conceptus.com. You may be required to put your request in writing for security reasons. We reserve the right to charge a fee for searching for and providing access to your information. Childrens' privacy Childrens' privacy is very important to us. Conceptus makes every reasonable effort to ensure that children's privacy and other rights are not compromised. We will never knowingly market to or request personal information from a minor. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of parents to monitor their children's Internet usage. Tips to protect your privacy Remember to close your browser when you have finished your visit to Our Site. This will ensure that others cannot access your personal information if you share a computer or are using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet cafe. Be aware that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information over the Internet (for example: in discussion forums) this information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information in publicly accessible online forums, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
