Some Mentor Web sites may deposit certain
bits of information called "cookies" in
a visitor’s computer. Generally, a cookie assigns a unique
number to the visitor that has no meaning outside the assigning
site. Cookies can tell us how and when pages in a Web site are
visited and by how many people. This technology does not collect
an individual visitor’s identifying information; rather,
this information is also in an aggregate form. The purpose of this
technology and the information it provides is again to help us
improve our Web sites. Most Web browsers allow the user to deny
or accept the cookie feature.
Personal Information You Choose to Provide
Only when specifically requested by Web site visitors, for example,
when filling out a form for an extended warranty, will Mentor collect
and use personal information through this Web site. Mentor collects
personal information in limited cases, specifically including,
but not limited to, the following cases:
- When you request information about doctors or clinics
in your area, Mentor will collect your post code;
- When you make
a request to Mentor Patient Services through "Ask
Mentor", we will collect your name and e-mail address;
- Mentor

to you when you provided it. Generally, our use of such information
is limited to the following:
- to respond to your requests;
- to develop records with regard
to your interest in, purchase or use of Mentor products or warranties;
- to contact you with information
that might be of interest to you, including information about

- to enforce
this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use of this Web site;
- to
protect our rights and property;
- to comply with a law or regulation,
including government investigations, validly issued subpoenas,
and court orders.
In the ordinary course
of business, we will share some personal information with companies
that we hire to perform services or functions on our behalf. In
such cases, we share the minimum amount of information necessary
for the third-party to complete its function. In all cases, we
will not authorize them to keep, disclose, or use your information
except for the purpose of providing the services for which they
have been contracted.
Mentor will not sell, rent, publish or exchange
such personally identifiable information to any other organization
or entity unless the user is first notified and expressly agrees
to it, or as otherwise required by law. This limitation does not
prohibit transfer of information in conjunction with a significant
corporate event, such as a merger, sale, dissolution, or acquisition,
in which customer information is one of the business assets transferred.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
Mentor may update this policy. We will notify you about significant
changes in the way we treat personal information either by sending
a notice to the primary e-mail address specified by you or by placing
a prominent notice on our Web site. This policy was last updated
on July 1, 2008.
