Procter & Gamble respects the privacy of every individual who visits our
websites or responds to our interactive advertisements. This Privacy Statement
outlines the information Procter & Gamble will collect and how we will
use that information. This Statement will also instruct you on how you can verify
the accuracy of your personally identifiable information submitted to Procter &
Gamble through our websites and interactive advertisements and how you can request
that we delete your personally identifiable information from our databases

- Personally-Identifiable Information
When you visit Procter & Gamble's websites or interactive advertisements, we will not
collect any personally-identifiable information about you (such as your name, address,
telephone number, or e-mail address) unless you provide it to us voluntarily.
In addition, some of our websites or interactive advertisements invite visitors to submit
names, e-mail addresses or addresses of friends in connection with certain promotions,
such as offers of product samples or information or the sending of messages through some
of our websites or interactive advertisements. If you opt not to provide us with personally
identifiable information no material consequences will result, although you may be unable to
participate in certain promotions, or receive product information, offered through Procter &
Gamble's websites or interactive advertisements.
- Use of Personally Identifiable Information
Procter & Gamble may store and process your personally identifiable information to
better understand your needs and how we may improve our products and services,
and we may use your personally identifiable information to contact you. We may also
enhance or merge personally identifiable information with data obtained from third parties
for the same purposes. Procter & Gamble will not give or sell your personally identifiable
information to any outside organization for the organization's own use without your consent.
Your information may be shared with agents or contractors of Procter & Gamble in connection
with services that these individuals or entities perform for Procter & Gamble. Individually
identifiable information submitted in connection with employment inquiries will be used only in
the application process.
The copy, claims and offers contained in this website are directed at residents of the United States
and are valid only in the United States. At times, if you direct comments to us or if you request
information from us, we may ask you to verify that you live in the United States so that we can be
assured that the response or information we provide is appropriate for your country of residence.
If the personally identifiable information that you submit indicates that you are not a resident of
the United States, your information may be shared with the Procter & Gamble subsidiary in your
home geography. This subsidiary may not be governed by the same privacy policy as this site.
- Security
Procter & Gamble is committed to keeping secure the data you provide us and will take reasonable
precautions to protect your personally identifiable information from loss, misuse or alteration.
Agents or contractors of Procter & Gamble who have access to your personally identifiable information
in connection with providing services for Procter & Gamble are required to keep the information confidential
and are not permitted to use this information for any other purpose than to carry out the services they are
performing for Procter & Gamble.
- Children
Procter & Gamble has no intention of collecting any personally identifiable information
from individuals under thirteen years of age. Where appropriate, Procter & Gamble will
specifically instruct children not to submit such information on our websites or advertisements.
If a child has provided us with personally identifiable information, a parent or guardian of that
child may contact us at the e-mail address or address listed at the bottom of this Privacy Statement
if they would like this information deleted from our records. We will use reasonable efforts to delete
the child's information from our databases.

In some cases, we may collect information about you that is not personally identifiable.
Examples of this type of information include the type of internet browser or computer operating
system you are using and the domain name of the website from which you linked to our site
or advertisement. In addition, when you view one of our websites or advertisements, we may
store some information on your computer. This information will be in the form of a ãcookieä or
similar file and will help us in many ways. For example, cookies allow us to tailor a website or
advertisement to better match your interests and preferences. Most internet browsers enable
you to erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block all cookies, or receive a warning before

but we may tie information collected automatically to your previously submitted personally
identifiable information.
