Website purpose
This Website is a resource for information about SCILEX Holding.
Collection of nonpersonal information
SCILEX may collect nonpersonally identifiable information about how you use this Website using analysis technologies. These analysis technologies may be provided by third parties.

We use this information in the aggregate in order to better understand how to improve the quality of this Website.
As is common among Internet site operators, the operator of this Website maintains Web server logs. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address and collect that information in its Web server logs. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider whenever you log onto the World Wide Web or “surf” the Internet. The SCILEX Web server logs collect statistical data that are generated by your computer when it visits this Website, such as the type of Web browser and operating system used to access the Website, the domain name of your Internet service provider, the date and time you access this Website, and the pages you visit. This Website uses this nonpersonally identifying Web server log information for a variety of purposes. Some of these purposes include: system administration; examination of overall traffic trends on this Website; troubleshooting; and the collection of broad demographic information about users of this Website. No personally identifiable information is contained in these Web server logs. The log files may be purged periodically, in our discretion, to maximize space on the server.
