Corporate Websites Privacy Policy

SCOPE

This Corporate Privacy Notice only applies to the Corporate Sites. Our Corporate Sites provide information about our work to offer adult smokers an alternative to combustible cigarettes and, in so doing, reduce the harm associated with tobacco. The Corporate Sites also provide information about, and our Services support, our work to combat the serious problem of underage use of vapor products directly, and through our authorized retailers.

We have an independent, age-restricted website through which we offer our products to eligible adult smokers and other users (the “E-Commerce Site”). This Corporate Privacy Notice only describes the personal information we collect and process through the Corporate Sites; the data practices of our E-Commerce Site are described by the E-Commerce Site’s Privacy Policy.

We may post job openings and opportunities on our Services. If you reply to one of these postings by submitting your application, resume, cover letter, or other expression of interest, we will collect and use your information to assess your qualifications and potential employment pursuant to the terms of the Worker and Applicant Privacy Notice, not this Corporate Privacy Notice.

Changes to our Corporate Privacy Notice. We may revise this Corporate Privacy Notice from time to time in our sole discretion. If there are any material changes to this Corporate Privacy Notice, we will notify you as required by applicable law, such as by sending you an email or announcing the change to policy on our Services. If you continue to use the Corporate Sites after the new Corporate Privacy Notice takes effect, we will assume you have read and acknowledged the new terms.

• Information Related to Research. We are committed to supporting scientific research through our Investigator Initiated Research Program (“IIR Program”). Researchers may choose to provide personal information through the IIR Program including name, credentials, organization, phone number, email address, written agreement, research study, and any other information you submit to us when you submit a research proposal, participate as an investigator in the IIR Program, communicate with us about the IIR Program, or participate as a member of an institution engaged in IIR research. We use this information to run and manage the IIR Program, as well as to communicate directly with you about the IIR Program.

• Business Development and Strategic Partnerships.We may collect personal information from individuals and third parties to assess and pursue potential business opportunities.

Policy Regarding Cookies and Similar Technologies

• Automatic Collection of Personal Information. We may collect certain information automatically when you use our Services, such as your Internet protocol (IP) address, user settings, cookie identifiers, mobile carrier, mobile advertising and other unique identifiers, browser or device information, location information (including approximate city-level location derived from IP address), and Internet service provider. We may also automatically collect information regarding your use of our Services, such as pages that you visit before, during and after using our Services, information about the links you click, the types of content you interact with, the frequency and duration of your activities, and other information about how you use our Services.
• Cookies and Other Technologies. We, as well as third parties that provide content, analytics, or other functionality on our Services, may use cookies, pixel tags, and other technologies (“Technologies”) to automatically collect information through your use of our Services.
  • Cookies. Cookies are small text files placed in device browsers that store preferences and facilitate and enhance your experience.
  • Pixel Tags/Web Beacons. A pixel tag (also known as a web beacon) is a piece of code embedded in our Services that collects information about engagement on our Services. The use of a pixel tag allows us to record, for example, that a user has visited a particular web page or clicked on a particular advertisement. We may also include web beacons in e-mails to understand whether messages have been opened, acted on, or forwarded.

Our uses of these Technologies fall into the following general categories:

• Operationally Necessary. This includes Technologies that allow you access to our Services, applications, and tools that are required to identify irregular website behavior, prevent fraudulent activity, improve security, or allow you to make use of functionalities available through our Services;
• Performance–Related. We may use Technologies to assess the performance of our Services, including as part of our analytic practices to help us understand how individuals use our Services;
• Functionality–Related. We may use Technologies that allow us to offer you enhanced functionality when accessing or using our Services;
  • Analytics. We may use Technologies and other third-party tools to process analytics information on our Services. These Technologies allow us to better understand how our digital Services are used and to continually improve and personalize our Services. One of our analytics partners is Google Analytics. For more information about how Google uses your personal information (including for its own purposes, e.g., for profiling or linking it to other data), please visit Google Analytics’ Corporate Privacy Notice. To learn more about how to opt-out of Google Analytics’ use of your information, please click here.

Those social media buttons may include widgets such as the “share this” button or other interactive mini programs. These features may collect personal information such as your IP address and which page you are visiting on our Services and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Your interactions with these platforms are governed by the privacy policies of the companies providing them.
• Online Verification Providers.We may use third-party services across the Corporate Site to mitigate brute force logins as a means of spam protection. For example, when you fill in certain forms, our service providers may evaluate various information (e.g., IP address, how long the visitor has been on the app, mouse movements) to detect if the activity is from an automated program instead of a human. We retain this data via our service provider for use in spam mitigation.

Other Sources

Third-Party Services and Sources. We may obtain personal information about you from other sources, including through third-party services and organizations.  For example, if you access our Services through a social networking site, we may collect personal information about you from that third-party application that you have made available via your privacy settings.
