To ensure a safe internet environment, the company adheres to a policy that protects the personal information of a user from third parties. Any data compiled from our web sites is stored in secure servers. In cases in which personally identifiable information (such as e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, mailing addresses, and fax numbers) is collected, the user always has the option of not receiving any ancillary material. Our sites are educational in nature and provide needed information to a wide range of health care professionals. They include extensions of our journals and the products of our other business units for the express purpose of disseminating valuable clinical and nonclinical information for use by the health care community. All sites store user feedback that is confidential. We use this information to improve the content of our sites, gather statistical information, and field questions about our products. We may use data compiled from our web sites in collective or aggregated (statistical) form that does not identify any user specifically. This privacy policy is subject to change, and any changes will be posted on this page.
