EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 25, 2019

Thank you for your trust in Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation ("Novartis
Pharmaceuticals" "we", "our", or "us"). We are a United States-based affiliate
of the Novartis global group(link is external), a world leader in healthcare.
This Privacy Policy describes how we use and disclose the information we collect
from you through our U.S. Healthcare Professionals websites, mobile
applications, social media forums, and other services, both offline and online,
that link to, incorporate, or for which you are provided a copy of this Privacy
Policy (collectively, the "Services"), and the choices you have about how we use
that information.


WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

 * Information You Provide: We collect information that you voluntarily provide
   when you use the Services, such as when you register for or use a Novartis
   Pharmaceuticals program or service, participate in a survey, provide a
   testimonial, order a product, participate in an interactive feature or forum
   (such as chat features), or contact us with a question, comment, or request.
   The types of information that you provide are based on the specific function
   of the Services that you use or the Novartis Pharmaceuticals program or
   service for which you register, and might include, for instance, your name,
   address, age, birth date, gender, email address, phone number, photo, social
   media account number, medical license number, zip code, education,
   professional experience, demographic information, information about health
   and/or medical conditions and specialties, and information required to
   process payments for speaking events or expense reimbursement, including your
   social security number and/or tax identification number. If you submit
   personal information relating to other people to us or to our service
   providers in connection with the Services, you represent that you have the
   authority to do so and to permit us to use the information in accordance with
   this Privacy Policy.
 * Information We Receive From Third Parties:We may combine the information we
   collect from you with information that we receive about you from other
   sources, such as public databases, providers of demographic information,
   joint marketing partners, publications, professional organizations, social
   media platforms, people with whom you are connected on social media
   platforms, and other third parties.


WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT AUTOMATICALLY FROM YOUR DEVICE AND HOW DO WE USE
IT?

We and our third party service providers may collect information automatically
from your device in a variety of ways, including:

 * Through your browser or device: Certain information is collected by most
   browsers or automatically through your device, such as your Media Access
   Control (MAC) address, computer type (Windows or Macintosh), screen
   resolution, operating system name and version, device manufacturer and model,
   language, Internet browser type and version and the name and version of the
   Services you are using. We use this information to ensure that the Services
   function properly.
 * Through your use of an app: When you download and use one of our apps, we may
   track and collect app usage data, such as the date and time the app on your
   device accesses our servers and the information and files that have been
   downloaded to the app.
 * Using cookies: Cookies are small text files stored directly on your device.
   We use cookies to collect information such as time spent on the Services,
   pages visited, the pages you view immediately before and after you access the
   Services, the search terms you enter, and other anonymous traffic data.
   Cookies allow us to recognize you and personalize your experience, to
   facilitate navigation, and to display information more effectively. We also
   use cookies to gather statistical information about the use of the Services
   in order to understand how they are used, improve them, and resolve questions
   about them. If you do not want information collected through the use of
   cookies, most browsers allow you to automatically decline cookies or to be
   given the choice of declining or accepting cookies from a particular site.
   You may wish to refer to
   http://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/index.html(link is external) If
   you do not accept our cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your
   use of the Services.
 * Using pixel tags and other similar technologies: We may use pixel tags (also
   known as web beacons and clear GIFs) to, among other things, track the
   actions of users of the Services and our email recipients, measure the
   success of our marketing campaigns and compile statistics about usage of the
   Services and response rates.
 * To deliver interest-based advertising: We may use third-party advertising
   companies to serve advertisements regarding products and services that may be
   of interest to you when you access and use the Services and other online
   properties, based on information about your use of the Services and/or other
   online properties. To do so, these companies may place or recognize a unique
   cookie on your browser, including through the use of pixel tags, or use other
   tracking technologies. To learn more about these practices, including your
   choices in connection with them, please visit

   technologies to, among other things, collect and store information about your
   use of the Services. If you do not want Flash LSOs stored on your computer,
   you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash LSO storage
   using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel(link is

   LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and how to
   block Flash LSOs that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you
   are on at the time). Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or
   limit acceptance of Flash LSOs may reduce or impede the functionality of some
   Flash applications.
