Overview
As part of the normal operation of our services, We collect, and in some cases may
disclose, ONLY WITH YOUR PRIOR EXPRESS CONSENT,
information about You. By accepting this Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions,
You expressly consent to Our use and disclosure of Your Basic Information and Practice
Profile, in the manner described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is
incorporated into, and subject to, the terms of The BIO Notifier Terms and Conditions.
1. Information We Collect
Our primary goal in collecting personal information is so that We can alert You
to opportunities to become an investigator in a clinical trial. The gathering of Your Practice Profile allows Us to ensure that
You will be contacted periodically by BBK about clinical trial opportunities appropriate
to Your medical specialty. You agree that We may review Your Practice Profile so
that We can match it to a study in Your medical specialty. Your Practice Profile is confidential, and will not be shared with
third parties without Your expressed prior written consent.
Please note that Your Practice Profile will be stored and processed on Our computers
in the United States. The laws regarding the handling of personal data in the
United States
may differ from the laws of other countries; but, as We explain below, BBK will
hold and transmit Your Practice Profile in a safe, confidential, and secure environment.
2. Our Use of Your Information
You agree that We may use Your Practice Profile information to contact You and to
alert You to clinical trial opportunities and other communications relevant to Your
use of this service. By accepting this Privacy Policy, You expressly agree to receive
this information. If You do not wish to receive these communications, You may opt
out of the receipt of communications. If You have any questions, You may communicate
with Us through our Contact Us page.
3. Our Disclosure of Your Information
As a matter of policy, We do not
sell or rent any personally identifiable information about You or Your Practice
to any third party. As well, We use industry standard practices to protect Your
privacy; however, We do not promise, and You should not expect, that Your Practice
Profile will always remain private. By way of example (without limiting any of the
foregoing):
Government Entities. We may be required to disclose
information to government entities, law enforcement agencies, or third parties.
Under certain circumstances, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions
or private communications, or Members may abuse or misuse Your information that
they collect from Our Web sites.
Legal Requests. BBK cooperates with law enforcement inquiries, as well as
other third parties, to enforce laws such as: intellectual property rights, fraud,
and other rights. We can (and You authorize Us to) disclose any information about
You to law enforcement and other government officials as We, in our sole discretion,
believe necessary or appropriate, in connection with any investigation of fraud,
intellectual property infringement, or other activity that is illegal or that may
expose Us or You to legal liability.
4. Accessing, Reviewing, and Changing Your Profile
Following registration, You can review and change the information that You submitted
during the registration process. If You change Your password and e-mail address,
We will retain a record of Your previous password(s) and e-mail address(es). You
can also change Your information such as: name, address, city, state, ZIP/postal
code, country, phone number, and e-mail.
Upon Your notification that You wish to opt out of The BIO Notifier, We will remove
Your Profile from our active databases as soon as reasonably possible in accordance
with Our policy and applicable law.
We will retain in Our files information that You have requested be removed from
Our active databases for certain purposes, such as to resolve disputes, troubleshoot
problems, and enforce our Terms and Conditions. Further, such prior information
may never be completely removed from Our databases due to technical and legal constraints,
including stored “back up” systems. Therefore, You should not expect that all of
Your personally identifiable information will be completely removed from our databases
in response to any request that You may submit.
5. Control of Your Password
You are responsible for all actions taken with Your login information and password.
Therefore, we do not recommend that
You disclose Your BIO Notifier password or login information to any third party.
If You choose to share this information with any third party, You are responsible
for all actions taken with Your login information and password. If Your password
has been compromised in any way, You should immediately change Your password.
6. Security
Whenever We store or transmit Your Practice Profile, We use a number of security
procedures to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure. This Web site has security
measures in place intended to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information
under Our control. We will take reasonable steps to safeguard personally identifiable
information that We collect from unauthorized access or disclosure and from accidental
loss, alteration, or destruction.
We use appropriate technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect
data that pertains to You from loss, misuse, or alteration. In addition, We take
steps to ensure that Our safeguards take into account new known threats. You should
keep in mind that Internet transmissions, particularly e-mail transmissions, are
never 100 percent secure or error-free. Accordingly, We also caution You to guard
Your own computer and password against unauthorized access by others. No organization
can guarantee the absolute security of personal information.
7. Notice
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time based on changes in the law;
and/or Your comments; and/or Our need to accurately reflect our data collection
and disclosure practices. We will notify You about significant changes in the way
in which we treat personal information by sending You a notice via e-mail or by
placing a prominent notice on our Web site.
8.

By using this service, You signify Your assent to our Policy. If You do not agree
with this Policy, please do not use this Service. Your continued use of this Web
site following posting of changes to these terms will mean that You accept those
changes.
