Hill's takes care to respect the privacy

below. As the technology of the Internet changes, this policy
may also change. Any change will be promptly reported in
these pages.
WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
WHAT DO WE DO WITH IT?
Information that
can identify an on-line visitor is collected only when voluntarily
offered. Except as specifically stated herein and where
an on-line visitor's consent has been obtained for another
purpose, we collect identifiable information only to respond
to our visitors' questions about our Company and its products
and services, to mail out Company literature, e.g., brochures,
or to contact the winners of contests or promotions. We
don't use your e-mail address and/or other personal information
for any purpose other than responding to your request or
message, save as specifically stated herein and where an
on-line visitor's consent has been obtained for another
purpose. We don't use it internally, and we don't share
it with anyone outside the Hill's group of related companies,
other than as specifically set forth herein. There may be
occasions where Hill's will in its sole discretion, share
certain pet stories provided to it from time to time on
this site, from an on-line visitor (which may include the
on-line user's name, pet name and/or location). Such disclosure
will not occur unless the consent of the relevant on-line
visitor has been duly provided to Hill's, in accordance
with the consent and on-line testimonial release section
below.
When you visit our site, we automatically
log your IP address (the unique address, which identifies
your computer on the internet), which is automatically recognized
by our web server. We use IP addresses to help us administer
the site and to collect broad demographic information for
aggregate use.
Our site sometimes includes information
about sweepstakes or other promotions that Hill's is offering
or is offering jointly with another Internet enterprise,
and in some cases, we may allow you to enter electronically.
If that occurs, Hill's and/or our authorized representatives
will use the information you provide for the purpose of
conducting the promotion (for example, to contact you if
you have won) and with your consent, to offer you products
and services of Hill's and our joint sweepstakes sponsors.
In addition, we may also collect demographic and other data
for market research, advertising and promotional purposes.
As part of the services offered to you through our
site, the information you provide to us may be transferred
to countries outside of the Republic of South Africa (“RSA”).
By way of example, this may happen if any of our servers
are from time to time located in a country outside of the
RSA or one of our service providers is located in a country
outside of the RSA. We also share information between our
group related companies, which are located in countries
worldwide, including Hill's Pet Nutrition Inc. of the United
States of America. These countries may not have similar
data protection laws to the RSA.
