This site is owned by Postgraduate Institute for Medicine, Inc. ("PIM" OR "we"), a subsidiary of Jobson Healthcare Information LLC ("JHI"). This privacy policy explains our practices regarding collection, use, and disclosure of personal information that you may provide to us through this Web site.
What personal information do we collect on this site, and how do we collect it?
- When you participate in a CME, CE or CNE (collectively, "CME/CE") activity provided by PIM, we ask you for your name, degree, affiliation, street address, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address.
How do we use the personal information that we collect?
We use that Information in the following ways:
- We use the Information to grade your post-test and to issue you a certificate of completion documenting your participation in the CME/CE activity. If we use a third-party company to grade your post-test and issue certificates of completion, we will give the Information to that company for that purpose only.
- For each CME/CE activity that you take, you must complete an evaluation questionnaire. That questionnaire asks if you are willing to participate in a follow-up survey. If you answer yes, we may use your name and contact information to send you a survey.
- We may use the Information to send you information about other CME/CE activities that PIM is offering.
- We also may share the Information with other companies that are owned or controlled by JHI, including Postgraduate Healthcare Education, LLC, and third parties, so that they may send you information about CME/CE activities that they offer.
- On occasion, the commercial supporter of a CME/CE activity will ask us for a list of the people who participated in that activity, so that it can comply with state laws or document the first level of outcomes-based evaluation in CME/CE (i.e., who participated, which medical specialties/practices were represented, how this compares to the target audience, and whether the activity needs to be repeated because significant numbers of the target audience did not participate). In that event, we will provide the supporter with your name, title and affiliation only, but we will not provide contact information and we will request in writing that the supporter not attempt to contact you directly for any purpose.
- If our company is acquired by or merged into another company, we may make the Information available to the new owner/entity to use in the ways described above, to enable it to continue our business.
- If we are required to disclose your personal information by any applicable law, court order, or government regulation, we will comply with such laws, orders or regulations.
