Privacy Policy
DecisionHealth, owner of this Web site, is committed to protecting your privacy. We hold our relationship with users in the highest regard. This policy describes the ways that personally identifiable and anonymous information about our online users, event registrants and print subscribers is gathered, our information sharing practices, and how online users and print subscribers may request changes to the way this information is shared.
Personally Identifiable Information We Collect and Use
Information Collection
DecisionHealth is the sole owner of the information collected on this Web site. DecisionHealth collects information from our users at several different points on our Web site.
Registration
In order to use certain areas of this Web site, a user may be asked to complete a registration form. During registration a user will be required to give at least a minimum amount of contact information (such as name and email address), so that we can validate the content sets herein to which you'll have access. We also use this information to contact the user about services on our site for which he/she has expressed interest. Some information is optional while other information may be required. In some cases a unique identifier (such as, username and password) may be required in order to obtain further benefits from our web site.
Information Use
Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you with the best and most useful content and services. In addition, we may use the information collected from you to contact you from time to time regarding our products and/or services complimentary to those topics addressed in this website or the job function you perform. At all times you have the right to request that we cease contacting you by 'opting out' of our communications.
Cookies
Like other web sites, DecisionHealth sites use cookies to improve your experience with our online content. For instance, we may use a cookie to identify members so they don't have to re-enter their email address and password when they come to our sites. We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies which enable us to track and target the interests of our users to improve the content on our site. By adjusting your settings on your browser, you may elect not to allow cookies to be collected. However, it is likely that some areas of the site will not function properly if you do so.
Log Files
Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
Third Party Advertising
Some of our advertisers use third-party companies to serve their advertisements on our sites and, in some cases, in our HTML-formatted newsletters. Often, these third-party advertising companies employ cookie and pixel tag technologies to measure the effectiveness of Web and email advertisements. We do not give any personally identifiable information to them as part of this relationship. Use of their tracking technology is subject to their own privacy policies.
Sharing
Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our Web site.
Aggregate Information (non-personally identifiable)
We may share aggregated demographic information with our partners, third parties for marketing, promotional, and other purposes. This is not linked to any personally identifiable information.
Links
Our Web sites may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that DecisionHealth is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Surveys, Polls & Contests
We may provide you the opportunity to participate in contests or surveys and/or vote in polls on our site. Participation in these surveys, polls or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and email address). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Anonymous Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site. Users' personally identifiable information is not shared with third parties unless we give prior notice and choice. Though we may use an intermediary to conduct these surveys or contests, they may not use users' personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
