TrialFinders Privacy Commitment to You
Introduction
Protecting your privacy is extremely important to all of us at TrialFinder. We offer timely, trustworthy, and personalized information that may assist our users in making better medical treatment decisions. We have taken great care to create a secure and safe online environment and are dedicated to privacy and confidentiality. For this reason, you may visit and navigate within the TheTrialFinder web site without providing any personal information, such as your name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address. In the event that you choose to provide such information in the appropriate locations on our site (such as opting into our online database), we will protect this information to the best of our ability. We will never share any personal information with any external party without your permission. In addition, we will use this information only for the purpose for which you provide it; no transfer of information will take place from one section of the site to another. Any information that we have the capability of collecting automatically (such as visitors' Internet domains,) will be used for internal tracking purposes only. The only information that will be provided to the Sponsor companies with trials listed on this site are visitor counts. While TrialFinder takes every necessary administrative and technical precaution to secure the web site and prevent unauthorized parties from accessing or interfering with our files, we cannot assure that such tampering will not occur. Furthermore, the privacy policies of other web sites do not apply to TrialFinder. If you have linked to TrialFinder from another web site, please check the other site's privacy policies before providing any information. Similarly, although we have high standards for the web sites to which we are linked, when you link from our web site over to another web site, our privacy policy no longer applies. Again, please check the other site's privacy policy before providing any personal information. From time to time, we may modify our privacy policy. Please check the TrialFinder web site periodically to make sure you've read the most recent version. Privacy for Recipients of the TrialFinders Patient E-Mail Notification Service To register for the Patient E-Mail Notification Service, you must provide only an E-mail address and a therapeutic area of interest. No other information is required. Because this service is anonymous, the weekly notifications are sent automatically. TheTrialFinder staff has access to the list of E-mail notification subscribers' E-mail addresses for technical purposes only. Such purposes refer to any trouble-shooting or web-maintenance efforts. We allow our users to "opt-in" to special e-mail distribution lists and clinical trial notification services, rather than forcing them to "opt-out" of such services. But if choose to discontinue receiving updates, please contact us or follow the "unsubscribe" instructions on our web site, located at the following URL address: Data Collection TrialFinder collects personally identifiable information and personal health information about users via direct user input.

Sharing Information with Third Parties It is possible that we could be forced to disclose personally identifiable user information and personal health information in response to a search warrant, subpoena, or court order. This is a possibility that could confront any record keeper. Disclosures may also be appropriate to protect our legal rights, to protect the security or integrity of our Website, to take precautions against liability, or during emergencies if physical safety is believed to be at risk. These types of disclosures are unlikely, but they are possible and so we describe them here. |
