For our business purposes, such as data analysis; audits; fraud monitoring and prevention; developing new products; enhancing, improving or modifying our products and services; identifying usage trends; determining the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns; and operating and expanding our business activities.

We may aggregate the information that you and other App users provide. If we do, we may use and disclose such aggregated information for any purpose. Aggregated information does not personally identify you or any other user.

OTHER INFORMATION

We may use cookies and other technologies to recognize you as you use or return to the App so that we can understand how the App is used and personalize and enhance your experience. These technologies collect certain information automatically, such as:

Information about your device, such as your screen resolution, operating system, device manufacturer and model, language, and browser type. We use this information to ensure that the App functions properly.
Information about your use of the App, including content viewed, features used, and the dates and times of your interactions with the App. We use and disclose this information to understand how users engage with the App and to customize and improve the App experience.

We may use third-party services, such as Adobe analytics tools, in connection with the App. Such services may use cookies and/or similar technologies to collect and analyze information about App use and to report on activities and trends. Such services may also collect information regarding the use of other websites, apps and online services. For more information regarding Adobe, please go to https://www.adobe.com/privacy.html.

We may use and disclose the information described in this section for any purpose, except where we are required to do otherwise under applicable law. If we combine the information described in this section with information that is deemed “personal information” under applicable law, we will treat the combined information as “information you provide,” as described above, for as long as it is combined.

DO NOT TRACK

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in their web browsers. When a user turns on DNT, the browser sends a message to websites requesting that they not track the web activity of the user. At this time, Pfizer does not respond to these signals. For information about DNT, visit www.allaboutdnt.org.

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

This Privacy Notice does not address, and we are not responsible for, the information collection, use, disclosure or security practices, or other practices, of any third party, including any third party operating a service to which the App links. The inclusion of a link within the App does not imply our endorsement of the linked service.

INFORMATION SECURITY

We seek to use reasonable organizational, technical, and administrative measures to protect the information you provide to us. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please immediately notify us.

YOUR PRIVACY CONTROLS

You may stop all collection of information by the App by uninstalling the App. If applicable, you may stop the receipt of push notifications through your device settings.

USE BY MINORS

The App is not directed to individuals under the age of thirteen (13), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from such individuals. If you are at least 13 years of age but less than 18 years of age, you will need your parent’s or legal guardian’s permission to use the App. Please consult with your parent or legal guardian before using the App.

CROSS-BORDER TRANSFER

The App is controlled and operated by us from the United States and is not intended to subject us to the laws or jurisdiction of any state, country or territory other than that of the United States. The information we collect through the App may be stored and processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage service providers, and by using the App, you consent to the transfer of information to countries outside of your country of residence, including the United States, which may have different data protection rules than those of your country.
