COLLECTION OF PERSONAL DATA
Personal data (“Personal Data”) is generally defined as information that, by itself or in combination with other information, may be able to identify you or could reasonably be associated with you, your household or your accounts.
We may collect Personal Data from Users who voluntarily provide such information in a variety of ways on or through the Sites, Social Platforms, and/or other Services. For example, Users may be asked for Personal Data including:
- Contact Information such as your name, practice name, phone number, email address or mailing address.
- Professional Information like your practice name, office address, other business information or national provider identifier (NPI) number, area of expertise, and the professional education courses and other resources you use, attend or participate in through the Services.
CheckRare may collect some of your contact information and professional information from pharmaceutical companies that provide us with physician level data (“PLD”), which we then use to track the content you listen to and/or view on or through the Services. The pharmaceutical companies that provide us with your PLD may receive professional information about any CheckRare courses you attend or other Services you use as a result of this process. This exchange of PLD and other professional information may result in you receiving advertising content that is based on the CheckRare content you listen to and/or view, and other Services you use.
We may also collect your IP address and other browser information in an automated manner through the use of cookies as described, below. We will collect any other Personal Data from Users only if they voluntarily submit such information to us.
Users can always refuse to supply Personal Data, except that doing so may prevent Users from engaging in certain activities or content related to the Services.
