Schering-Plough Home Again LLC ("Home Again") is committed to protecting your privacy. Home Again offers a pet recovery service for pet safety and health, education for pet owners, and products, information and special offers from us and our carefully selected business partners that we believe you will value (the "HomeAgain® Program").

We will not sell or rent your information. We will share it with third parties for purposes related to the HomeAgain® Program and these third parties will only be able to use the information for marketing purposes related to pet products, safety and health. Please read this Privacy Notice to understand the ways in which we collect, use, and disclose information we receive from or about you through the HomeAgain® Program.

Collection of Personal Information. You may access and browse our Web site without disclosing any information that identifies you, such as name, address, or e-mail address ("Personal Information"). We will collect Personal Information from or about you in the following instances:

• Information you provide. We will collect and store any Personal Information you enter on our Web site or provide to us in some other manner. For example:

  • When you enroll in the HomeAgain® Program, we will collect your first and last names, postal and e-mail addresses, telephone number(s), and other information, including payment information (such as credit card number) and pet information, that will allow us to secure your membership in the HomeAgain® Program.
  • If you request information, products or services from Home Again, or ask us to resolve questions or concerns, we will ask you to provide information such as your name, contact information, and other identifying information necessary to respond to a particular inquiry.

For example, you will be able to enroll in the HomeAgain® Program through veterinary clinics, animal shelters, pet stores, retailers, and other entities, which will share your enrollment information with us. We also will obtain information about you from other sources, including commercially available sources (for example, national change of address information).
• Information about others. We also will collect and store Personal Information about other people that you provide to us. For example, if you list someone other than yourself as a point of contact, we will collect and store that information.
