Information Collection and Dissemination

General Principles

  • In general, you may visit this Website without identifying yourself or revealing any personal information.
  • As you browse our Website, the Website collects log file, IP address of your computer, and other standard tracking data we use to evaluate Website traffic and usage patterns. Such information is aggregated with tracking data from all Website visitors. We will use the information to personalize the Website according to your preferences based on the aggregated information. We also use the aggregated information to evaluate products and services we may offer to you.
  • Some portions of this Website may require you to give us personally identifiable information such as your name, job title, company, physical mailing address, e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers (Personal Information). If you communicate with us by email, post messages to our blog, or otherwise complete online forms or surveys, any information provided in such communications may be collected as Personal Information.
  • If you elect to provide us Personal Information, we use it primarily to deliver the service you requested. Other uses of Personal Information are described elsewhere in this Policy.

Information Sharing

Unless you opt-out, we may send you updates and information regarding RapidCME program offerings, clinical updates, and other continuing education related content via email. To opt out, send an email to info@rapidcme.com with UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line. Your email address will be removed from our database within 10 days of request.

In order to comply with the Federal CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, we also may provide lists of customers who have opted-out of email promotion for RapidCME products to other companies, so they can be suppressed from mailings those companies send on RapidCME’s behalf. In addition, if you unsubscribe from a mailing we send to our own list on behalf of a third party, your removal instruction may also be supplied to the third party and added to their own suppression file.

 

Except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy, we will keep your Personal Information private and will not share it with third parties, unless such disclosure is necessary to (a) comply with a court order or other legal process; (b) protect our rights or property; or (c) enforce our terms of service.

Several companies unaffiliated with RapidCME provide email deployment services for our email messages. The personally identifiable information, such as e-mail address, we provide to these vendors for the purposes of e-mail deployment is only used by them for that purpose and not for any other business activity.

RapidCME will share user data with accredited provider(s) of CME/CE activities in which users participate, and/or medical education and communications companies who assisted in the development of CME/CE activities in which users participate.

Information on Children

As a business-to-business company, we do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13. On-line registration and Website usage is restricted to adults who are professionally engaged in the businesses we serve.

Google

RapidCME uses all features of Google Analytics. Google Analytics does not store any visitor specific data and we will not use visitor specific data in any way related to Google Analytics, Google Adwords, and Remarketing.

Cookies

A "cookie" is a bit of data sent by a Website through the browser to the computer of the user visiting the Website, and enables the Website to return the results the browser expects. RapidCME uses temporary, session-specific cookies to ensure visits to its Website are smooth and customized for the visitor. Such cookies allow us to provide a visitor's browser with information tailored to the visitor's preferences and needs. RapidCME also uses permanent or persistent cookies that remain on a visitor's computer after the visitor leaves the RapidCME Website.

If you do not want your browser to accept cookies, you can turn off the cookie acceptance option in the browser's settings. However, disabling the cookie support function of the browser will prevent our Website from functioning properly and you may not be able to utilize fully all of the Website's features and information.

Pixel Tags

Like many Websites, RapidCME may also use pixel tags, also known as beacons, spotlight tags or web bugs, to improve our understanding of Website traffic, visitor behavior, and response to promotional campaigns, as a supplement to our server logs and other methods of traffic and response measurement. Pixel tags are sometimes used in conjunction with small Javascript-based applications, also for the purpose of traffic measurement. We may also implement pixel tags provided by other companies, for the same purpose. You can disable pixel tags by changing your browser settings to omit images and disable Javascript; or there are commercial software packages available that can omit pixel tags and most advertisements.

 

Opt-out Option

Visitors to this Website can decide if they want to receive promotional information from RapidCME. Should visitors accept promotional e-mail from RapidCME, any e-mail they receive will include instructions on how to be removed from RapidCME's promotional e-mail list.
