Privacy Statement
PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT CAREFULLY.
Privacy is very important to us. We also understand that
privacy is very important to you. This Privacy Statement tells you how we protect and use information that we
gather through this Paramount Financial Inc. web site. Paramount Financial Inc. and its affiliates also
operate other web sites. This Privacy Statement does not apply to the other Paramount Financial Inc. web
sites. You should review the privacy statement posted on other Paramount Financial Inc. web sites when you
visit them. This web site and this Privacy Statement are intended for an U.S. audience.
This Privacy Statement was last revised on October 18, 2006. We
may change this Privacy Statement at any time and for any reason. Significant changes to the Privacy Statement are
discussed below in the Section called "Changes to the Privacy Statement." We encourage you to review this Privacy
Statement each time you visit the web site.
INTRODUCTION
The information we receive, and how we use it, depends on what
you do when visiting our web site. We collect and use your non-personal information (information that is not
identifiable to you personally) differently than your personal information.
WHAT IS NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION?
Non-personal information is information we collect through this
web site that does not identify you as an individual person. It may include information such as the
following:
- the type of web browser software you use (for example, Netscape Navigator or Internet
Explorer)
- the name of the domain from which you access the Internet
- the Internet address of the web site from which you linked directly to our web
site
- the date and time you access our web site
- which pages you have visited on our web site
- personal information that has been de-identified
If you visit our web site to read or download information, such
as information about a health condition or about one of our products, we may collect certain non-personal
information about you from your computer. This information is collected from your computer's web browser: If you
only read or download information on our web site, we do not collect or learn your name, e-mail address, home
address, or other personal information about you. We may place a text file called a cookie in the browser files of
your computer when you visit. The cookie may be stored on your computer's hard drive. The information that we
collect using cookies is non-personal information. US Government Information Bulletin (I-034) contains a good
description of cookie technology at:
http://web.archive.org/web/20070616163802/http://www.ciac.org/ciac/bulletins/i-034.shtml. You are always free to
decline our cookies if your browser permits, but some parts of our web site may not work properly for you if you do
so. We will not allow third parties to place cookies on our web site.
WHAT DOES Paramount Financial Inc. DO WITH NON-PERSONAL
INFORMATION?
Because non-personal information cannot identify you or be tied
to you in any way, there are no restrictions on the ways that we can use or share non-personal information. We are
always looking for ways to better serve you and improve this web site. We will use non-personal information from
you to help us make this web site more useful to visitors. We also will use non-personal information for other
business purposes. For example, we may use non-personal information or aggregate de-identified personal information
to:
- create reports for internal use to develop programs, products, services or
content
- customize the information or services that are of interest to you
- share it with or sell it to third parties
- provide aggregated "traffic statistics" and "response rates" to third
parties
WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION?
Personal information is information we collect through this web site that we can use to
specifically identify you, such as your:
- name
- telephone number
- e-mail address
- medical device serial number
- personal health information
- date of birth
In some places on this web site you have the opportunity to send us personal information
about yourself. For example, you may fill out a registration form, a survey, or an e-mail form.
You also may choose to allow us to personalize your visits to the web site, in which case we
will ask you for certain personal information to make your visits to our web site more helpful to you. When this
information is combined with the non-personal information that we collect through cookies (described above), we
will be able to tell that you have visited our web site before and can personalize your access to our web site, for
example, by telling you about new features/products that may be of interest to you.
HOW DOES Paramount Financial Inc. KEEP AND USE PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We may keep and use personal information we collect from you through this web site to provide

features that may be of interest to you

- to contact you with information that might be of interest to you, including information
about clinical trials and about products and services of ours and of others
- for analytical purposes and to research, develop and improve programs, products,
services and content
- to remove your personal identifiers (your name, e-mail address, social security number,
etc). In this case, you would no longer be identified as a single unique individual. Once we have de-identified
information, it is non-personal information and we may treat it like other non-personal
information.

Statement.
In the ordinary course of business, we will share some personal information with companies
that we hire to perform services or functions on our behalf. For example, we may use different vendors or suppliers
to ship you products that you order on our web site. In these cases, we provide the vendor with information to
