Information We Collect and How We Collect It
Many of the services on our website are offered without our collecting any personally identifiable information from you. You can visit our website and view most of the content anonymously.

Nature of Personal Information Collected by Shire
Personal Information is information permitting the identification of a particular individual. Such information involves any characteristics of a natural person, which allows that individual to be identified. For example, the name, age, address, practice licence number, email address and phone number constitute personal information.

Aggregate Information
As you navigate through a website, certain information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information) using various technologies and means, such as navigational data collection. This site may use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. An IP Address is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider so you can access the Internet and is generally considered to be non-personally identifiable information, because in most cases an IP address is dynamic (changing each time you connect to the Internet), rather than static (unique to the particular user's computer). We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our server, report aggregate information, determine the fastest route to your computer in connecting to our site, and administer and improve the site.

We also collect information about your use of our site through cookies and similar technology. A "cookie" is a bit of information that a website sends to your computer that helps the site remember information about you and your preferences and recognize you as a return visitor to the site. Cookies, by themselves, do not tell us your email address or other personally identifiable information.
"Internet tags" (also known as single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies and tell the website server information such as the IP address and browser type related to the visitor's computer. This site may at times use Internet tags.
"Navigational data" ("log files," "server logs," and "clickstream" data) are used for system management, to improve the content of the site, for market research purposes, and to communicate information to visitors. This site may at times use navigational data.

Collection of Personal Information
Shire collects information, including personal information, that you voluntarily provide to us when you choose to participate in questionnaires or surveys on the website, or when you use any interactive tools that may be available on this website.

Shire may use your personal information (i) to respond to your questions or requests for additional information; (ii) to provide you with information that you have specifically requested, or that Shires may ask you if you would like to receive newsletters or updates; (iii) to personalize any interactive tools to better facilitate your use of the website; (iv) to develop future e-newsletter topics for the website; (v) to improve the website.

Shire will not disclose or sell your personal information to any third party unless it is required to be disclosed by law to the extent reasonably practicable applicable.
