Promedica Website Privacy Policy
PMI is committed to respecting your privacy. You can visit
most pages on our site without giving us any information about
yourself, but in some cases we collect personal information
for the purposes described below. This notice explains our
online information practices and the choices you have about
how your personal information is collected and used. The effective
date of this Privacy Policy is July 1, 2005.
Why we collect personal data
From time to time PMI may collect personal data
for specific and limited purposes, which we explain to you
when you provide it voluntarily or when we request the information.
Personal data is information that tells us specifics about
you, such as name, address, IP address and e-mail address.
We may also track user traffic patterns and other non-identifying
aggregated demographic information through this website. This
information is collected in several ways.
On one web page, we request personal data about clinical
investigators so we can identify and contact them to determine
their interest and expertise in conducting clinical trials.
Investigators selected to conduct clinical trials may need
to provide additional information to actually qualify to work
on the study.
If you are interested in an employment opportunity at PMI,
we request and process your personal data to match your qualifications
with open positions and to contact you regarding your interest.
Another web page allows you to provide us with your contact
information, which we can use to correspond with you in connection
with an inquiry.
How we use this information
The personal information you provide is stored in
a database. This information will only be shared with employees
or agents of PMI only to the extent necessary to accommodate
your requests. PMI does not share your information with outside
third parties without your explicit consent. However, as we
develop our business, we may buy or sell assets or stock and,
depending upon the transaction, your personal information
may be one of the transferred assets. In the event that we
are acquired by another company, your personal information
may be part of the assets transferred to the acquiring party.
You have the right to:
- request a copy of your data that you have provided to
PMI
- correct your data
- withdraw consent to further processing of your data, in
which instance we may be unable to continue any function
for which the data was obtained (with the consequential
effects)
- prevent the further transfer of your data to third parties
where you may be concerned there are inadequate data protection
arrangements.
If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact
us.
Exceptions
Except as described above, we will not otherwise
use or disclose any of your personally identifiable information,
except to the extent reasonably necessary: (i) to correct
technical problems and malfunctions and to technically process
your information; (ii) to protect the security and integrity
of our website; (iii) to protect our rights and property and
the rights and property of others; (iv) to take precautions
against liability; (v) to the extent required by law or to
respond to judicial process; or (vii) to the extent permitted
under other provisions of law, to provide information to law
enforcement agencies or for an investigation on a matter related
to public safety.
How we protect your data
PMI has put in place physical, electronic and managerial
procedures to protect and secure the information collected
on-line and to prevent unauthorized access. Although we will
exercise reasonable care in providing secure transmission
of information between your computer and our servers, we cannot
ensure or warrant the security or retention of any information
or data transmitted to us over the Internet and we accept
no liability for any unintentional disclosure, loss or misuse
of any such information or data.
Use of Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the hard drive
of your computer. If used, cookies can enable us to track
and target your interests to enhance the experience on our
site. Currently, we are not using cookies but, in the future,
we may do so in order to allow site visitors to personalize
their experience. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to
any personally identifiable information while on our site.
We also receive IP addresses in the normal course of the operation
of our website. An IP address is a number assigned to you
by your Internet service provider so you can access the Internet.
Although we do receive IP addresses, we do not use them to
personally identify you or disclose them to others.
Children's Online Privacy Protection
Protecting children's privacy is important to PMI.
Accordingly, we do not collect or maintain information from
our website from individuals we actually know are under the
age of 13. Additionally, no part of our website is structured
to attract anyone less than 13 years of age.
Notification of Changes
As PMI and our website evolve and as privacy laws
and regulations change, it may be necessary to revise or update
our Privacy Policy. When we do we will also revise the "effective
date" at the top of the Privacy Policy.
Please contact
us for communications, questions or concerns
about these privacy policies.
