LAST UPDATED: June 16, 2009

Introduction
ParaPRO LLC (the "Company") respects that the privacy of your personal information is important to you. We have developed this privacy statement (the "Statement") to let you know how Company collects, stores, uses, and discloses information that you provide to Company via www.parapro.com, www.drnitpicky.com, and www.myheadlicetreatment.com (the "Web sites") or through other means. We may change this Statement from time to time without prior notice so we ask that you revisit this Statement periodically to ensure that you are aware of and familiar with our current privacy policies because the revised Statement will apply to you. In the event we make any changes to this Statement, we will post the revised Statement on this page together with the date on which we made the most recent changes and the revised Statement will be effective as soon as it is posted.

Company is committed to the responsible use of information provided to it via the Web sites and through other means.

If you are a physician or other health care professional, this Statement only applies to information collected online through the Web sites, other web sites of the Company, or where Company specifically says that this Statement shall apply.

Consent
By using the Web sites or by providing information to us through other means, you consent to the practices described in this Statement.

Collection of Information
Company may collect personally identifiable information about you, such as name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, date of birth, or other similar personal information ("Information") that you have the option to voluntarily submit to us through the Web sites or through other means or when you give permission to others to share such Information with us. Your Information may be used to fulfill your request for information and other services, to send you health-related materials that we think may be of interest to you, to develop products, services and programs that we think you may find useful, to provide you access to your account information, or to contact you for business development, research, marketing or promotional purposes, press inquiries, or other purposes. If you provide Information to us, you agree that we may contact you through a variety of methods including postal mail, e-mail and telephone. From time to time we may also request that you provide us with additional demographic, or other health information through responses to questions or surveys, or through use of search functions or other forms of feedback that we may use to serve you better. Except as specifically provided in this Statement, Company will not transfer, sell or rent Information to anyone without your consent.  We may occasionally transfer or share your Information with third parties, such as agents, contractors, or partners of Company, who perform services for, or with, Company. We may, for example, provide your Information to agents, contractors, or partners for hosting our databases, for data processing services, or so that information you request may be sent to you.  Company requires such third parties to agree that they will only use the Information on behalf of Company. All Information that we transfer or share will be used and disclosed in a manner consistent with the terms of this Statement.

You can visit much of the Web sites without providing us with Information. However, some areas of the Web sites may require that you register in order to access specific content, features, interactive tools, or services or participate in a particular activity, such as subscribing to a newsletter or joining a program. You may always choose not to provide the requested Information but you may then not be able to participate in the particular activity.

Through our Web sites, Company also collects non-personally identifiable information relating to such matters as: the total number of visits to our Web sites, the number of visitors to each page of our Web sites, the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of our visitors, and the time spent on our Web sites. We use this information to understand how our visitors use our Web sites so we can improve the customer experience and for research and marketing and promotional purposes. We may also use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our servers, and for purposes of system administration. From time to time we may also share non-personally identifiable information with others.
We gather aggregate data about visitors to our Web sites for purposes of product development and improvement of our Web sites, and also for market analysis. We may provide information from our Web sites in aggregate form without personally identifiable information to third parties. Any third party that receives aggregated data must agree not to attempt to re-identify the persons to whom it belongs.

If you contact us to report on your experience, or the experiences of your patient, with the use of our products, you agree that we may contact you for follow up information. You agree that we may also use the information you provide to submit reports of side effects to government agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or as otherwise required by law or governmental audit.

Company reserves the right to share your Information with third parties in the event we are required to provide such Information in order to respond to requests of government authorities, a court, or a law enforcement agency, or where required by law or administrative or governmental order or regulation or subpoena or other legal process, including necessary disclosures in support of any legal or criminal investigation, or for corporate audits or to respond to complaints or security threats. If we believe it is necessary to, or are required to, share your Information, in order to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, violations of Company's terms of use or as otherwise required by law, we will provide the Information collected to the appropriate parties. Further, in the event we determine for business reasons to reorganize, sell or transfer a product or all or a part of our business, we may share your Information with third parties involved in such transactions, such as actual or prospective purchasers, and other business partners, in which case we will obtain written assurances that the Information will be appropriately protected. In addition, in the event of a corporate reorganization of Company, either by operation of law, merger, or purchase of assets, your Information may be transferred to the acquiring or surviving entity and consequently, may be subject to a different privacy statement, which will be available on our Web sites and/or the web sites of the acquiring or surviving entity.

Security
Company uses reasonable technical and administrative safeguards to protect Information from unauthorized access, use, loss or destruction. Any Information you provide to us and all other information that is collected from our Web sites and through other means is held on a secured web server (a computer that stores web documents, allowing users to access web pages using web client software) operated by Company (or by an agent of Company performing services on our behalf). Please be advised that although we have tried to create secured and reliable Web sites for you, due to the rapidly evolving nature of information technologies, the security and confidentiality of any Information, or communication or material or data transmitted over the Internet cannot be guaranteed. We urge you to exercise caution when conveying personally identifiable information over the Internet. When disclosing any personally identifiable information, you should remain mindful that such information might be accessible by the public and, consequently, may be collected and used by others without your consent. You should also recognize that your use of the Internet and the Web sites is solely at your own risk.

Cookies
The use of cookies is now standard, and you will find them used by most major web sites to collect anonymous data from users. A cookie is a text file that a web site stores on a user's computer hard drive that identifies the user. When a user returns to a web site, the user's browser sends the information back to the web site.  Company uses cookies with its Web sites for a variety of purposes, including to help users log into parts of our Web sites, to enable us to track the interests of our users to enhance their experience on the Web sites, for market research and marketing purposes, and to deliver content specific to a user's interests. For example, we may collect information about your visit to our Web site that does not identify you but allows us to track information about what web pages you visited, and the web site you came from to visit our Web sites.  We will place a cookie in the web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer) file of your computer when you visit our Web sites; we or an independent advertising company or other contractor whom we engage may also from time to time deliver a uniquely-numbered cookie to your web browser through an e-mail if you have opted-in to receive e-mail from Company and/or one of our Web sites. You may set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie and you can delete or decline the cookie using the tools in your web browser, and you may still use our Web sites; however, some parts of our Web sites may not work properly for you.

Advertising
We sometimes use independent advertising companies to provide ads on our behalf across the Internet ("advertising company"). These advertising companies also help us analyze our advertising campaigns and the general usage patterns of visitors to our Web sites. This is primarily accomplished through the use of cookies, and Internet tags (such as action tags, web beacons, pixel tags, clear GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) images and invisible GIFs). Such advertising companies may place these tags on our Web sites or on other web sites. Used in conjunction with cookies, Internet tags are programmed by the advertising company to collect certain non-personally identifiable information about visitors to our Web site and other web sites. This information may be used to provide ads about goods and services of potential interest to you, or to improve your web site experience. The advertising company does not know the names, addresses, e-mail addresses or telephone numbers of web site visitors, and does not link online actions to an identifiable person. The advertising company reports the non-identifiable data that it collects on our behalf back to us without identifying specific web site visits (other than to our own Web sites). We use this information to improve our Web sites and our advertising. In order to deliver more relevant content or advertising, from time to time we may link the information we receive to our customers' Information. If we do link such data, it is treated under this Statement as Information. If you would like more information about this practice, or if you want to prevent an independent advertising company from sending and reading cookies or action tags on your computer, you can visit the advertising company's web site and opt out.

Children and Individuals Under the Age of 18
We do not knowingly collect directly any personal information from anyone under the age of 18, nor do we knowingly market our Web sites to anyone under the age of 18.

Tell-A-Friend
On some Web sites, you can choose to use a "tell-a-friend" or referral function on our Web sites to let someone else know about a Company Web Site or product. In such a case we will ask for your friend's name and email address, as well as Information about you. The information that you may provide for a friend will be used to send an email on your behalf and will not be collected or stored by Company for any additional purpose.  The individuals you ask us to send an email to may contact us by any of the methods below to request that we remove their information from our database.

Links
As a convenience to you, Company may provide links from its Web sites to other web sites maintained by independent third parties. This Statement applies solely to the information collected on Company's Web sites. We do not control nor are we responsible for the privacy practices or other aspects of such other sites. Links to other web sites do not imply an endorsement of the material or policies on those web sites.  If you choose to leave our Web sites using one of the links we provide you, we will notify you when you leave our Web sites.  We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Web sites and to read the privacy policies of any web site that you may visit to determine what information such web site may be collecting about you.
