As is common among Internet site operators, the operator of this Web Site maintains web server logs. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address and collects that information in its web server logs.

The Avanir web server log collects statistical data that is generated by your computer when it visits this Web Site, such as the type of web browser and operating system used to access the Web Site, the domain name of your Internet service provider, the date and time you access this Web Site, and the pages you visit. This Web Site uses this non-personally identifying web server log information for a variety of purposes. Some of these purposes include: system administration; examination of overall traffic trends on this Web Site; trouble-shooting; and the collection of broad demographic information about users of this Web Site. No personally identifiable information is contained in these web server logs.

Avanir has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. While we make reasonable efforts to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-parties from illegally obtaining this information. You should consider any communication that you transmit to Avanir (such as personally identifiable or other data, questions or answers, comments, or suggestions) as non-confidential, and agree that Avanir shall not be liable or responsible if any information about you is intercepted and used by an unintended recipient.
