Guide”) are committed to protecting our users' privacy. This Privacy Policy is
designed to inform users of Medical Product Guide’s network of websites about how
Medical Product Guide gathers and uses information provided to, or collected by,
Medical Product Guide and under what circumstances Medical Product Guide will disclose
such information. Medical Product Guide will take reasonable steps to protect user

Personally Identifiable Information We Collect
We collect personally identifiable information when you provide it to us, such as
when you register for membership, sign up for email newsletters, or to otherwise
communicate with us. Many of the services that we offer, including but not limited to
newsletters and the Medical Product Guide, require registration as a condition of use;
when you register with one of our sites you are no longer anonymous. We may also
receive information about you from other sources and add it to the information you
have provided to us. Information that you provide to us can be used by Medical
Product Guide and shared with sponsors of the Medical Product Guide site(s).
If you do not want this information disclosed to a Content Sponsor, do not request
Sponsored Content. Medical Product Guide’s customer agreements with the Content
Sponsors: (a) provide that the Content Sponsor may use this information to contact you
via common methods of communication; and (b) prohibit disclosure of the information to
any third party other than agents of the Content Sponsor for the permitted marketing
purposes set forth above. You should contact the Content Sponsor directly if you have
any questions about their use of this information. We use Member Information to
deliver email newsletters on topics of interest to Members who have requested those
services. We may also send general promotional and marketing materials to our Members,
including marketing research surveys. Medical Product Guide, in some cases utilizing a
third party provider, deploys surveys and incentives. We use Member Information in
aggregated form to understand our customer base and to market our services to our
customers.
In General, we may collect and store any personally identifiable information you
provide to us. Personally identifiable information is data that identifies you, or
that can be combined with other information to identify or contact you, and includes
(but is not limited to) your name, business or personal physical or email address, and
telephone number.
You are not obligated to provide us with any personally identifiable information,
although registration is required to access the full range of information and Services
offered.
Members
If you are a Medical Product Guide Member and access the restricted, Members-only
areas of our Sites, Medical Product Guide may collect additional information relating
to your participation in Medical Product Guide Services. We also may obtain
information about your access and use of Medical Product Guide research materials,
decision-support tools, and other online and offline offerings.
Except as set forth in this Privacy Policy, Medical Product Guide will not disclose
Member Information to any third parties, unless we are required to do so by law,
regulation or court order.
Information You Provide and How it Is Displayed Online
Medical Product Guide is not responsible for the information you volunteer about
yourself in the course of discussions in our forums, chat rooms, professional networks
or other forms of publicly accessible interaction, or information that you choose to
make public in your member profile. As a member, you can view, correct or change your
publicly available information at any time via your member profile page. To view or
change your profile, please visit the account preferences page.
What We Provide to Third Parties
The aggregate statistics that describe our online audience, which is often based on
the information you provide when you subscribe, register, or browse our sites, help us
sell advertising and otherwise publicize Medical Product Guide and its brands. The
information we share under these circumstances does not contain behavioral or
identifying information about any individual reader or user, unless the individual has
given us permission to share that information.
Mailing Lists
We make email and postal lists of our customers available on a rental basis, to
carefully screened partners and providers of quality goods and services. Many
customers appreciate the offerings they receive, but here's what to do if you don't
wish for us to share this information:
• Please send an email with your request to privacy@Medicalproductguide.com
Any mailing sent to our lists is carefully reviewed before it is sent, and when we
rent our mailing lists, we monitor them to ensure they are used only for the approved
purpose.
Medical Product Guide also provides profile reports on specific companies, based on
subscriber-reported and publicly available data, to carefully screened providers of
quality goods and services. These include contact information for the company and its
key personnel.
Data Services and Email Deployment
We provide customer lists and other information to select third party companies who
provide specialized services, such as email message deployment, email verification,
email marketing, merge-purge (identifying and removing duplicate addresses) of lists,
postal mailing, subscription fulfillment, customer service and telemarketing,
research, statistical analysis, and other data processing. These companies work on our
behalf and do not ever own, or take over ownership of, the lists or other data sent to
them.
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 Medical Product Guide products
to other companies, so they can be suppressed from mailings those companies send on
Medical Product Guide’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.
Medical Product Guide Events, Sites and Other Services
As a Medical Product Guide customer, you can also expect to receive relevant email
and postal offers for other Medical Product Guide publications, events, sites and
services. From time to time we also offer specially-negotiated discounts and new
products from other companies. If you would prefer not to receive such mailings,
please send a note to privacy@Medicalproductguide.com with the term "Mailing Lists" in
the subject line.
Change of Ownership
The mailing list(s) associated with Medical Product Guide properties may also be
subject to transfer to another company in the event of a change of ownership. In this
event, Medical Product Guide or the new owner of the affected properties will use
commercially reasonable efforts to notify you and provide the opportunity to remove
your name from the associated mailing list(s).
