Web Privacy Policy

Introduction

Med Communications, Inc and Med Communications International SÀRL, including its wholly owned subsidiaries (together referred to as “Med Communications”), are a contract medical affairs company that works within the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. This Med Communications Website Privacy Statement applies to all Personal Information (information that can identify you) received and processed by Med Communications. Please read this Privacy Statement in conjunction with the Med Communications Privacy Policy before using the Med Communications website, submitting information to Med Communications via a website, or contacting Med Communications by any other means.

How does Med Communications collect information online?

By accessing and using the Med Communications website, you agree and consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information as outlined in this Website Privacy Statement. The Med Communications website may collect information that could be potentially personally identifiable about your visits without you actively submitting such information. Unidentified information may be collected using various technologies, such as cookies and web beacons. Cookies are small text files that are transferred to your computer’s hard disk by a website. Web beacons (also referred to as GIF files, pixels, or internet tags) help Med Communications understand how you navigate around the Med Communications website. As part of your use of the site, your internet browser automatically transmits to the Med Communications website some of this unidentified information, such as the URL of the website you just visited and the browser version your computer is operating. Passive information collection allows us to compile statistics, analyze trends, and otherwise administer and improve the Med Communications website. Certain features of the Med Communications website may not work without use of passive information collection technologies. Information collected by these technologies cannot be used to identify you without additional information.

Med Communications may also allow social media companies (eg, LinkedIn) to put “widgets” on the Med Communications website. These third-party tools may also be used to track you across websites. For example, as long as you are logged in to LinkedIn, every time you land on a webpage that has a LinkedIn widget, LinkedIn will know you are on that webpage. Med Communications does not control the privacy practices of these third parties.

What choices do I have about how the Med Communications website collects and uses my Personal Information?

You may always limit the amount and type of Personal Information that Med Communications receives about you by choosing not to enter Personal Information into forms or data fields on the Med Communications website. Some online services, such as requests for information on services, can only be provided to you if you provide Med Communications with appropriate Personal Information. You may also be provided with preference questions or preference boxes allowing you to indicate that you do not want the Med Communications website to use tracking technologies, such as cookies, to “remember” your Personal Information, such as user IDs or mailing addresses, on return visits. However, as with many websites that use tracking technologies to collect unidentified information, the Med Communications website does not provide you with the ability to opt out of these tracking technologies. Some internet browsers allow you to limit or disable the use of tracking technologies that collect unidentified information. As Med Communications does not control the tracking technologies of these third parties, you should review the browser settings you have set up directly with them. Med Communications does not collect or disclose your browsing behavior for third-party marketing purposes.

How does Med Communications secure Personal Information collected on the Med Communications website?

It is company practice to ensure that the Med Communications website is secured using commercially reasonable, technical, procedural, and administrative safeguards proportional to the sensitivity and volume of data processed. However, the confidentiality of Personal Information transmitted over the internet cannot be guaranteed. Med Communications urges you to exercise caution when transmitting Personal Information over the internet. Med Communications cannot absolutely guarantee that unauthorized third parties will not gain access to your Personal Information; therefore, when submitting Personal Information to the Med Communications website, you must weigh both the benefits and the risks. Med Communications has no control over third-party websites or their content, and the Med Communications Privacy Policy does not apply to such websites. This also applies to those business partners or social media services that have sharing tools or widgets on the Med Communications website (eg, LinkedIn). As Med Communications does not control the privacy practices of these third parties, you should review the privacy settings you have set up directly with them.

How does Med Communications protect the privacy of children on the Med Communications website?

The Med Communications website is not intended to collect or use any Personal Information from children (“children” are individuals who have not reached the age of majority in their residential jurisdictions). Med Communications does not knowingly allow children to communicate with Med Communications, or use any of the online services provided by Med Communications. Should you suspect that a child of whom you are the parent or legal guardian has provided us with Personal Information, please contact Med Communications using one of the methods specified below and Med Communications will work with you to address this issue.
