Thank you for visiting www.pictureyourtommorrow.com. This site is owned and operated by Baxter. For purposes of the policy, references to "we," "our" and "us" mean Baxter. Baxter Healthcare Corporation respects the privacy of every individual who visits this Web site.
This site provides information about "Picture Your Tomorrow, Today" global photo contest, in which people with hemophilia A may participate. Like many Web sites, we also collect information from our visitors, including personal information about you as an identifiable individual (e.g., your full name, e-mail address, phone number, hereafter referred to as the “Personal Information”) and non-Personal Information (e.g., aggregate statistics about what parts of our site are most popular). This privacy policy is designed to tell you about our information collection practices at this site – that is, the ways we collect information; what kinds of information we collect; why we collect information; how we use information we collect; with whom we share information we collect; how you can access, amend and delete information we collect from you; and what kinds of security we use to protect information you provide.
Before using this site – and particularly before submitting Personal Information via this site – you should read this entire policy. Use of this site constitutes your agreement to the terms of this policy. If the terms and conditions of the policy are not acceptable to you, do not submit any Personal Information via this site.

This site collects information from its visitors in two ways: actively and passively. Active information collection refers to instances in which we gather information from you when you fill it in and send it to us, such as by completing a registration form, signing up for an electronic newsletter or sending us a message via an e-mail reply mechanism provided by this site. Active information collection can include both the Personal Information or other information that is unique to you as an identifiable individual and non-Personal Information (e.g., if we were to ask for your first name and a list of the top three things you like about our site). Passive information collection refers to instances in which we collect information from you that you have not actively provided (please see the next section of this policy for a summary of our passive information collection practices).
Below, we have summarized the primary means of active information collection at www.pictureyourtomorrow.com. By submitting such information at these various information collection points, you specifically consent to the collection, use and dissemination of such information in accordance with this policy. At each of the active information collection points of www.pictureyourtomorrow.com we have marked which information is required and which is optional. Unless otherwise specified below, failure to provide required information might mean that you cannot participate in the identified activity nor have access to the site. Failure to provide optional information will not prevent your participation in the identified activity or prevent your access to the site, but it may inhibit our ability to customize the site for you and better understand your interests and needs.
