  • Information Collected via Technology.
  • Information Collected by Our Servers. To make our websites more useful to you, our servers (which may be hosted by a third-party service provider) may collect information from your computer or device, including but not limited to:
    • The date and time of your visit and the web pages, content, and advertisements you view and links you click on while navigating within our websites;
    • Information about the type of content accessed via our websites;
    • The site you visited before and after visiting our websites;
    • Your Internet Protocol (IP) address (a numerical address assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider so that other computers connected to the Internet can communicate with your browser online) that can sometimes be used to derive your general geographic area;
    • Search terms you enter on a referral site;
    • Information about your device such as your device type, browser type, language, and other settings, memory capacity, plug-ins, Internet domain, advertising identifiers, TCP configuration parameters, operating system, time zone and the names, versions, and package IDs of software installed on your device; and
    • Information collected through cookies and other tracking technologies (see additional descriptions of these terms below).
  • Like many online services, we use cookies to collect information. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing the website. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our websites. We may use cookies to let us know that you are a prior user of the website and to retrieve certain information previously provided by you. We also may use cookies to keep track of information about your current session which will be discarded as soon as you log out or close your web browser. This information also allows us to statistically monitor how many people are using our websites and for what purpose. However, if you do not wish to receive cookies, or want to be notified of when they are placed, your internet browser may permit you to do so. In many internet browsers, you can change the browser settings to warn you before accepting cookies or to block cookies. If you block cookies, you may not be able to use certain website features or functions, or the Website may not operate in an optimal mode.
  • Pixel Tags. In addition, we use “Pixel Tags” (also referred to as clear Gifs, Web beacons, or Web bugs). Pixel Tags are tiny graphic images with a unique identifier, similar in function to Cookies, that are used to track online movements of Web users. In contrast to Cookies, that are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, Pixel Tags are embedded invisibly in Web pages.
  • Do Not Track. We do not currently respond to “do not track” signals from web browsers.
  • Analytics Services. We use third-party analytics services including Google Analytics (“Analytics Services”), to help analyze how users use our websites. The information generated by the Cookies or other technologies about your use of our websites (the “Analytics Information”) is transmitted to the Analytics Services. The Analytics Services use Analytics Information to compile reports on user activity and your use of the website and to provide other services relating to website activity and Internet usage. The Analytics Services may also transfer the Analytics Information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process Analytics Information on their behalf. Each Analytics Service’s ability to use and share Analytics Information is restricted by such Analytics Service’s terms of use and privacy policy. By using our websites, you consent to the processing of data about you by Analytics Services in the manner and for the purposes set out above. For a full list of Analytics Services, please contact us at info@phathompharma.com. To learn more about how Google uses data, visit google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.
