Portions of this website may not require any form of registration, allowing you to visit our site without telling us who you are.
However, some or all areas or services may require you to register in order to access them.
When you register with us, you may need to complete certain fields (some are required and some are optional), as well as choose a username and password.
In these situations, if you choose to withhold any personally identifiable information requested by us,
it may not be possible for you to gain access to certain parts of the site and for us to respond to your query.
» Confidentiality / security
You should keep in mind that no internet transmission is ever completely secure or error-free. In particular, email sent to or from this site may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via email.
While we cannot guarantee against any loss, misuse or alteration to data, we reasonably try to prevent such unfortunate occurrences.
We take reasonable precautions to protect personal information in its possession from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.

Schering-Plough has sought assurances by contract from these companies that they will only use this information at our direction,
in a manner that is consistent with this policy.
These companies are also required to sign a confidentiality agreement that prohibits them from sharing, selling,
or in any way providing this information to anyone else.
Where Schering-Plough has knowledge that an agent is using or disclosing personal information in a manner contrary to this policy,
Schering-Plough will take reasonable steps to prevent or stop the use or disclosure.
Schering-Plough will not disclose your personally identifiable information to any parties other than these companies, except where required by law,
