This privacy statement is designed to tell you how PDRhealth uses and secures your
personal information. This privacy statement describes the practices of the PDRhealth
web site. As described below, this privacy statement relates solely to the online
information collection and use practices of the PDRhealth web site.
Information that We Collect
In general, you may browse online many parts of the PDRhealth web site without providing
any personal information. The information we collect from web site visitors is collected
on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our web site, and is not used to
identify you in any way.
If you want to join the PDRhealth mailing list to receive email messages from PDR,
you may send us your email address using the form on our site. If you provide your
email address, we may send you email messages including educational and marketing
information about products and services.
How We Use the Information
In general, we use all of the information we collect in order to:
- respond to your requests for information
- provide you with products and services
- determine if you are eligible for certain products or services
- provide customer service
- provide you with additional information that may be of interest, including marketing
and educational materials from us and our partners
We may also provide information about you to other Thomson companies who offer various
programs and products and we may include information about you to other Thomson
companies for those programs.
We may also share your information with other third parties who perform services
for us, but we forbid these companies from using your personal information for their
own purposes.
Please note that we may disclose any information as required by law, when necessary
for health or safety purposes, or when needed to protect our legal rights. For example,
we may disclose information about you in response to a subpoena. We may also disclose
information about you in connection with the transfer of assets of our business.
Additionally, as we continue to develop the PDRhealth web site, we might sell or
buy business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one
of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any
pre-existing privacy notice (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise).
Your Choices
We use good faith efforts to respect your preferences about our use of your information.
We only want to send you information if you want to receive it. You may opt-out
of emails by using the unsubscribe feature on the email communication.
Accessing your Information
We strive to provide all our customers with reasonable opportunity to access and
update their customer profile information. If you have sent us your email address,
you may access and update this information by contacting our customer support department.
Privacy Statement Parameters
This privacy statement describes the policies governing the PDRhealth web site.
It does not govern the practices at other Thomson company businesses or other PDR
web sites (such as pdrbookstore.com and pdr.net).
Embedded within the PDRhealth web site are the Thomson Healthcare NexCura profiler
tools. If you elect to use the NexCura profiler tools, please review the NexCura
privacy policy linked at the bottom of the profiler tools. While using the NexCura
profiler tools, your information will be treated in accordance with the NexCura
privacy policy.
Additionally, some of the links on the PDRhealth web site are direct links to various
sponsor and marketing partner sites, where you can apply for products and services.
This privacy statement does not describe the practices of our partners. Before disclosing
personal information to any other company’s web site, you should read the privacy
notice associated with that site.
Cookies and Web Site Information
Like most other commercial web sites, we use standard "cookie" technology and web
server logs to collect information about how our web site is used. Cookies are small
pieces of data that are stored by your web browser on your hard drive. The cookies
allow our web servers to recognize the computers used to access our web sites. Cookies
allow you to move from page to page on the web site, by remembering the information
about the entire session.
Information gathered through cookies and by our web server logs may include the
date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our web site, and the web
sites visited just before and just after our web site. This information is collected
on an aggregate basis and is not associated with your profile.
We use a third-party advertising company to serve ads when you visit our web site.
This company may use information about your visit to this web site in order to provide
advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you. In the course
of serving advertisements to this site, our third-party advertiser may place or
recognize a unique “cookie” on your browser.
How We Secure Information Transmissions
We take reasonable steps to maintain the security of the personally identifiable
information that we collect, including limiting the number of people who have access
to our servers, as well as installing electronic security systems that guard against
unauthorized access. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed
to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of
any information that you transmit to us, so you do so at your own risk.
Privacy Protections for Children Under the Age of 13 Using the Internet
Protecting children's privacy is important to us. For that reason, we do not collect
or maintain information on our web site from those we actually know are under the
age of 13, nor is any part of our web site targeted to attract anyone under 13.
We request that all visitors to our web site who are under 13 not disclose or provide
any personally identifiable information. If we discover that a child under 13 has
provided us with personally identifiable information, we will delete that child's
personally identifiable information from our records.
Changes to Our Policies
From time to time, we may use customer information for new, unanticipated uses not
previously disclosed in this privacy statement. If we make a material change to
this statement, we will post and highlight the policy changes and we will also notify
you via email or on the website and take other reasonable steps to give you an opportunity
to opt-out of the new data uses.
Individuals Located Outside the United States
If you are located outside of the United States, please be aware that any information
you provide to us will be transferred to the United States. By joining the PDRhealth
web site, receiving our products or services and/or providing us with your information,
you consent to this transfer.
