will fill out a Registration Form which becomes your Member Profile
and contains basic information about you and your practice. We
collect both Anonymous and Personal Information (as defined below)
from you as an Advisor, but only after you consent to such use of your
information or provide it to us voluntarily.
We collect Anonymous and Personal Information from you as a
panel member: (1) to allow you to have access to and participate
in the activities of the Site, (2) for editorial and feedback
purposes, (3) to analyze our users' behavior, and (4) to
improve our Site operations.
Other than the uses described in this Privacy Policy, and unless
we notify you in advance (through placement of a notice on
the Site) and obtain your permission, we do not share, rent,
or sell any of your information to any outside parties, except
to the extent necessary to comply with applicable laws, police
investigations, or in legal proceedings where such information
is relevant.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. What is Personal Information and how will graphic details use it?
"Personal Information" includes (1) personally identifiable information,such as
your name, phone number, mailing address, e-mail address, etc., (2) demographic information,such
as your age, gender, etc., and (3) your responses to promotional and educational surveys
and questions.
As a graphic details panel member, you will be given the opportunity
to provide Personal Information so that we can determine
which Site activities are most appropriate for your participation.
Some of these activities may include promotional programs which are made
available to you on behalf of our third party partners such as pharmaceutical
companies and other healthcare companies.
For example, certain graphic details partners may wish to interact
with certain panel members, such as healthcare professionals with a particular
specialty (e.g., cardiology) or those with certain demographic
criteria (e.g., number of years in practice). In order to
become a graphic details panel member and access the Site,
you will be asked to complete our Registration Form, which
will serve as your Member Profile. You may also, at
your option, indicate to us whether we may contact you regarding
promotional opportunities or materials or provide you with
certain value-added services, such as receiving product samples,
scheduling a representative visit, participating in continuing
medical education courses, receiving invitations to market
research and symposia, being invited to speak for a graphic details
client company or participating in surveys, or other
services or areas of interest yet to be determined.
Any information that personally identifies you is disclosed by
you on a voluntary basis and only collected by graphic details
with your knowledge and permission. You may, at any
time, permanently or temporarily opt-out of receiving such
emails and future promotional mailings by changing your options
in your Member Preferences. See your Opt-Out Choice
below. You may also change any other information in your
Member Profile at any time.
graphic details will not disclose any Personal Information with
any client or any other third party without your knowledge
or permission. If you request or agree to receiving
additional products or services (as described above), we
will ask for your permission to disclose your Personal
Information, such as your name and address, to facilitate
such a mailing. In no cases will any of your individual
answers or responses ever be made available to any of our
clients or any other third party without your knowledge
or permission. Your Personal Information and specific
answers will never result in any solicitation or offer
by graphic details or any third party, including our clients,
without your knowledge or permission.
In addition, we collect Personal Information from you if you
contact us with questions or requests for help (i.e., technical
support), or to help diagnose problems with our server and
to operate the Site. We retain such Personal Information
as a record of such correspondence but keep it confidential
and use it strictly to respond to such requests or technical
necessities.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. What is Anonymous Information and how will graphic details use it?
"Anonymous Information" is information that cannot be traced back specifically to you
as an individual. The Anonymous Information we use comes from collecting data from
you as a member of our panel (i.e., Site users) on an aggregated basis (i.e.,categorized
into groups of information) and converting Personal Information into Anonymous
Information, which is also compiled on an aggregated basis. We use such Anonymous
Information to study the behavior and usage patterns of our panel members, and
we report data from such Anonymous Information to our clients.
While you are logged on to the Site, we collect Anonymous Information
about what website you came from, what parts of the Site
you visit, the time of your visit, the type of web browser
you use (the software you use to connect to the Internet
and visit websites), the type of computer system you use,
etc. This Anonymous Information comes from your web
browser which sends the information to our web server in
the form of URLs (website address known as the Uniform Resource
Locator), referrer IDs (information from your web browser
showing us what URL you came from), IP addresses (a number,
known as an Internet Protocol address, that identifies your
computer so that data can be sent to your computer), computer
system information and logs of web browsing activities (known
as "web logs").
In addition, graphic details may use "cookie" technology to
capture your activity on the Site. A "cookie" is a small
file that is sent from our web server and stored on your
computer hard drive while you are visiting our Site. Cookies
store and retrieve information on your computer about your
web browsing activities, such as what website you came from
and what web pages you go to on our Site.
Using Anonymous Information helps us improve our product and service
offerings, administer our Site, and diagnose problems with
our server, services, and software. Such information
enables us to make better decisions about how we operate
or improve our Site from both business and technical perspectives.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. With whom and how is your information being shared?
graphic details does not disclose any information that could specifically
identify you as an individual unless we have your express permission
prior to such a disclosure, or unless otherwise specified in this Privacy
Policy. If you do not want your Personal Information to be shared
with or used by an outside party, you can choose not to allow this
use by telling us when you receive and respond to our notice of such
a disclosure.
We only report data to our clients using Anonymous Information. Your
Personal Information and your individual opinions and answers
will never be shared with our clients.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. How is your information used for online sessions or promotions?
graphic details conducts sessions and promotions through its Service
to show selected healthcare professionals promotional and/or educational materials,
and to better understand our panel members' wants and needs regarding
the services and products which may be offered through the Site. For
example, we may show you client promotional materials and ask your
opinion about the advertising, or ask about your practice patterns,
treatment goals, and objectives, etc. We will use your answers
to customize and personalize your individual experience and to tailor
content for you in subsequent interactions between you and the Site.
graphic details will never share your personal information or your
specific opinions and answers with our clients. We
will, however, convert certain opinions and answers into
Anonymous Information to make available to our clients.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

control, and to safeguard the confidentiality of information personally
identifying you. As a member of our healthcare professional panel, your Member
Profile and Member Preferences are password-protected so that only

a suspected violation of graphic details' Privacy Policy,
Terms of Service Agreement, User Rules, or any other rules
and regulations.
