MyEBMsearch - Privacy policy

MyEBMsearch Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us at E-WISE, Inc ("E-WISE"). Our online privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") describes the types of information we gather from those persons visiting MyEBMsearch, the E-WISE Internet website located at www.myebmsearch.com (the "Website") and how we use that information. E-WISE does not rent or sell personally identifiable information to third parties

By accessing this Website, you agree to the terms of the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use this Website. Each time you use the Website, the current version of the Privacy Policy will apply. Accordingly, when you use the Website, you should check the date of this Policy (which appears at the top) and review any changes since the last version.

1. Personally Identifiable Information Collection and Use

E-WISE may collect two types of information from users of our Website: "personally identifiable information" (such as name, postal address, email address, phone number, job function, frequency of visits to the website) and "aggregate information" (such as search terms entered, Website pages most frequently accessed, articles viewed, saved searches, journal updates, browser type, etc.). Aggregate information is not linked to the identity of any individual person.

We use your personally identifiable information and aggregate information only in an effort to improve your experience on the Website and to communicate with you about products and services that might be of interest to you. We may also use this information to help us target specific services or offers to you, to help us develop and improve our Website, and to tailor our Website to your interests.

2. Collection of Personally Identifiable Information

E-WISE only collects personally identifiable information that is voluntarily provided by users of the Website when users register as subscribers on the Website ("registered subscribers"). For example, when you register on the Website, you may be required to provide personally identifiable information such as your name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone number, number of pages you have viewed, etc.

3. Collection of Aggregate information

E-WISE also collects aggregate information, which is non-personally identifiable/anonymous information about you, such as IP address, browser type, etc. Aggregate Information is used in a collective manner, and no single person can be identified by that compiled information.

4. Sharing, Selling, and Trading Personally Identifiable Information and Aggregate Information Collected Online with Third Parties

E-WISE does not share, rent, sell or disclose personally identifiable information to third parties, except as described in this Privacy Policy.

E-WISE may share all of the personally identifiable information collected about you with our third party service providers, such as other E-WISE affiliates and Bibit Global Payment Systems. These third party service providers are not authorized to retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any other purposes.

E-WISE may share with our trusted partners raw statistical information of the number of page views you have experienced.

E-WISE will not disclose on an individual level any information regarding search queries, articles viewed, email alerts, journal updates or archived articles.

E-WISE reserves the right to share or transfer personally identifiable to unrelated third parties: (i) to comply with a legal requirement, judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on E-WISE, (ii) to investigate a possible crime, such as fraud or identity theft; (iii) in connection with the sale, purchase, merger, reorganization, liquidation or dissolution of E-WISE; or (iv) when we believe it is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of E-WISE or other persons.

E-WISE may share, rent, sell or disclose non-personally indentifiable/anonymous aggregate information with related and unrelated third parties.

MyEBMsearch displays targeted advertisements based on personal information. Advertisers (including ad serving companies) may assume that people who interact with, view, or click targeted ads meet the targeting criteria-for example, cardiologists from a particular geographic area. MyEBMsearch advertisers include pharmaceutical companies and other healthcare related product and service providers.

5. Collection of Information by Third Parties

This Website may contain links to sites or links operated by third parties. Those sites may have their own privacy policy or no policy at all. E-WISE does not have any responsibility for those sites and the information practices of those sites are not covered by this Privacy Policy. In addition, a link to a third party site does not mean that E-WISE endorses or accepts any responsibility for the content, or the use, of such site. It is up to you to take precautions to ensure that whatever you select for your use is free of such items as viruses, worms, Trojan horses and other items of a destructive nature.

6 Information from other sources

E-WISE might receive information about you from other sources and add it to its account information only with the purpose of the proper functioning of the Website.

7. Cookies

Cookies are pieces of information which websites transfer to your computer's web browser for storage on your computer's hard drive. E-WISE uses cookies to measure activity on our Website, which allows us to improve navigation throughout our Website. In addition, cookies on the Website may contain information (such as an unique user ID), which tracks the pages of the Website you have visited. This information allows us to make updates to enhance your experience. Parts of the Website will not function if you do not have cookies enabled. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you turn off cookies or refuse them, though, you will not be able to use every portion of our Website. Please note that E-WISE only collects aggregate information through cookies and does not collect any personally identifiable information through cookies.

8. Links through the Banner Space or other Services of this Website

Because we cannot control the practices of other websites, we are not responsible for the actions of any third parties linked by way of our services, such as the banner space. For example, if you click on a banner ad, link, or logo appearing on the banner space or accept some other offer served through us, you may leave our website and interact directly with the website of that party. That party may collect and use information based upon a privacy policy different from this Privacy Statement. We assume no responsibility or liability for the actions, practices or policies of third parties, including any participating service, that is linked from our website, services, or banner space. When you click on ads and links via the banner space, please carefully review the privacy policies and the terms of the specific offers you may receive from these parties if you want to know more about what information they collect and how it will be used.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

The security of your personally identifiable information is important to us and E-WISE is committed to handling your customer information carefully. The protection of the security of your credit card or other payment information is handled by the trusted third party payment service provider Bibit Global Payment Systems which will handle the full payment transaction with a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. E-WISE does not store any credit card data or other payment information. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect the security of your credit card or other payment information. In addition, we make reasonable efforts to follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personally identifiable information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. Unfortunately, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personally identifiable information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. IN NO EVENT WILL E-WISE OR ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING OR DELIVERING THIS WEBSITE BE LIABLE IN ANY MANNER WHATSOEVER FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF YOUR ACCESS, USE OR INABILITY TO USE THIS WEBSITE, OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY FAILURE OR PERFORMANCE, ERROR, OMISSION, INTERRUPTION, DEFECT, DELAY IN OPERATION OR TRANSMISSION, COMPUTER VIRUS OR LINE OR SYSTEM FAILURE (INCLUDING LOSS PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, AND DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM INACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION OR INCONVENIENCE, DELAY, OR LOSS OF THE USE OF THE WEBSITE). THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS APPLY WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER BASIS, EVEN IF E-WISE OR ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

BECAUSE SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN CATEGORIES OF DAMAGES OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, E-WISE'S LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

10. Business Transfers

In the event that E-WISE sells substantially all of its assets, or one of E-WISE's business units are acquired, personally identifiable information and aggregate information of users of the Website will likely be one of the transferred assets.
