InfoMedics is committed to safeguarding consumer privacy on our web site. We operate under a strict set of privacy principles. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for our web site.

Participant Consent
In cases where InfoMedics is seeking both personally identifiable information and information pertaining to a medical condition or medication experience, InfoMedics will provide a Participant Consent form for your review and authorization. This form will outline the nature of the information you will be asked to provide, the purpose of our need for this information, the manner in which this information will be used, the specific disclosure rules which will govern our use of the information, and the protections which we will employ to avoid unauthorized use and/or disclosure of this information.

IP Addresses
An IP address is a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you access the Internet. All computer identification on the Internet is conducted with IP addresses, which allow computers and servers to recognize and communicate with each other. InfoMedics collects IP addresses in order to conduct system administration, report aggregate information to sponsors and advertisers, and to conduct site analysis. If a participant requests pages from InfoMedics, the InfoMedics servers enter the participant's IP address into a log. To maintain participant anonymity, InfoMedics does not associate IP addresses with records containing personal information. However, InfoMedics will use IP addresses to identify any participants who refuse to comply with InfoMedics' in-house rules or terms of service, and to identify participants who threaten our service, site, customers or others.

Cookies
Our site may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your computer. Cookies are pieces of information that a web site transfers to an individual's hard disk for record keeping purposes. Our site may use cookies during your online session to deliver content specific to your interests. Cookies allow us to avoid showing you the same information, survey, or other message repeatedly. Our cookies do not contain personal information. They do enable InfoMedics to relate your use of the site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided to our site.

Registration
Our site's registration system requires users to give us contact information such as their name and e-mail address, and demographic information such as a ZIP code, sex, age or income level. The customer's contact information is used to contact the participant when necessary. Users may choose (opt-in) to receive future contact; see the choice/opt-in section below. Demographic, medical condition, and profile data is also collected at our site. Unless specifically approved by the participant as part of the consent process, this information will never be shared with anyone in a personally identifiable manner.

External Links
In order to provide participants with greater value, InfoMedics may provide links to various third party web sites. However, even if a third-party affiliation exists between InfoMedics and that destination site, InfoMedics exercises no authority over linked sites, each of which maintains independent privacy and data collection policies and procedures. InfoMedics assumes no responsibility or liability for these independent methods or actions and is not responsible for the independent policies or procedures of destination sites. Similarly, InfoMedics cannot take responsibility for the privacy initiatives or the content of such web sites. These destination links are provided only for your convenience, and as such, you access them at your own risk.
