The Gillette Company and its affiliates and divisions including but not limited to Duracell, Braun and Oral-B, ("Gillette") respect the privacy of the visitors of this site. The following policy explains the circumstances under which Gillette may collect personal information through this site, and how we may use that information.

Personal Information

Gillette will not collect any personally-identifiable information about you, such as your name, address, telephone number or email address ("personal information") through this site unless you provide it to us yourself. Circumstances in which you may choose to provide us personal information include: providing your name and mailing address while entering a contest so that we may notify you if you win, providing your email address so that we may send you information you request, or registering as a user so that you may gain access to a particular section of the site. If you do not wish for us to collect any personal information about you, do not submit it to us.

When we do collect personal information that you provide to us, we may store, process and use it for the following purposes: to send you information you have requested such as information about us, promotional information about our products, or details of any offers or promotions; to assist us in improving our products, services or the content of our site; to contact you in connection with a contest or promotion; to send you products that you may have purchased on our site; or for our own internal marketing and research purposes. We may also provide this information to an agent acting on our behalf in connection with the activities described above (such as a fulfillment house conducting a sweepstakes for us). Gillette will not sell, rent, or in any way intentionally disclose personal information that you provide to us on this site to any third party (other than an agent acting on our behalf as described above), unless: 1) we are required to do so by law, regulation, warrant, subpoena or court order, or 2) such disclosure is part of a sale of all (or substantially all) of the assets of one or more divisions or affiliates of The Gillette Company.

Cookies

While you are visiting this site, we may store some information (called a "cookie") on your computer’s hard drive. This allows us to tailor our site to your individual preferences and save time if you visit the site again. It also helps us study the browsing patterns of our visitors and improve our web site design and content. Most internet browsers allow you to set them to warn you before a cookie is stored or block cookies altogether.

Through the use of "cookies," Gillette may automatically collect some technical information which is not personally-identifiable. Examples of this include the type of internet browser you are using and the domain name of the web site from which you linked to our site. We may aggregate this type of information for market research purposes and to improve our web site. We do not use "cookies" to obtain personal information about any of our visitors.

Bulletin Boards and Chat Rooms

From time to time, portions of our site may allow you to post information which other visitors to the site will be able to access (such as on a "bulletin board" or during an interactive "chat" with other visitors). In the event that you choose to post information in this context, it becomes generally available to the public, and we have no ability to control or limit its use by visitors to our site. Therefore, we encourage you not to post any information you consider private or sensitive on our site.

Additional Safeguards for Online Visitors Under 13 Years of Age

In accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, all visitors: a) who identify themselves as under 13 years of age (or we have reason to believe may be under 13 years of age because the particular portion of the Site that visitor accesses is intended for children under 13) and b) who provide personal information in order to enter a contest or sweepstakes or receive information from us, will also be required to provide the e-mail address of their parent or guardian. Gillette will send a notification to that email address informing the parent or guardian that their child has provided personal information to us. The notification provides the parent or guardian with instructions on how to review and delete information collected from his/her child. Gillette does not collect personal information from children under 13 for any purpose other than to send them information they specifically request or to allow them to enter sweepstakes and contests.

This site incorporates appropriate safeguards using industry standard technology to heighten the security of any personal information you provide to us.
