CenterWatch's Privacy Commitment to You
Introduction
Protecting your privacy is extremely important to all of us at www.CenterWatch.com. For this reason, you may visit and navigate within the CenterWatch web site without providing any personal information, such as your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, or credit card information. In the event that you choose to provide such information in the appropriate locations on our site (such as the online order section), we will protect this information to the best of our ability. We will never share any personal information with any external party without your permission. In addition, we will use this information only for the purpose for which you provide it; no transfer of information will take place from one section of the site to another. Any information that we have the capability of collecting automatically (such as visitors' Internet domains, or visitor count) will be used for internal tracking purposes only.
While CenterWatch takes every necessary administrative and technical precaution to secure the web site and prevent unauthorized parties from accessing or interfering with our files, we cannot assure that such tampering will not occur. Furthermore, the privacy policies of other web sites do not apply to www.CenterWatch.com. If you have linked to www.CenterWatch.com from another web site, please check the other site's privacy policies before providing any information. Similarly, although we have high standards for the web sites to which we are linked, when you link from our web site over to another web site, our privacy policy no longer applies. Again, please check the other site's privacy policy before providing any personal information.
From time to time, we may modify our privacy policy. Please check the CenterWatch web site periodically to make sure you've read the most recent version.
Privacy for Recipients of the CenterWatch Patient E-Mail Notification Service
To register for the Patient E-Mail Notification Service, you must provide only an E-mail address and a therapeutic area of interest. No other information is required. Because this service is anonymous, the weekly notifications are sent automatically. The CenterWatch staff has access to the list of E-mail notification subscribers' E-mail addresses for technical purposes only. Such purposes refer to any trouble-shooting or web-maintenance efforts.
If you receive updates that you do not wish to receive, please contact us or follow the "unsubscribe" instructions on our web site, located at the following URL address: http://www.centerwatch.com/patient/pns/patemail.asp.
Privacy
When You Contact Research Professionals
At the bottom of most trial listings, Research Center Profile Pages, and Industry Provider Profile Pages on our site, you will find a "submit" template/form. Any message you submit here is meant to be a confidential posting from you to the company or individual you are contacting. The message will never go to any CenterWatch staff member. Furthermore, CenterWatch cannot access or retrieve any message that you submit using these forms, nor are we responsible for any of these messages. However, all messages will indicate to the receiver that the transmission originated at www.CenterWatch.com.
The company or individual you contact will only receive the information that you provide in the form. This information may include name, address, phone number, fax, E-mail address, company (Profile Page forms only), and confidential message. To withhold information, simply leave that field blank. (Note: If you would like the company or individual you contact to respond to your message, please be sure to provide a phone number, email address, or mailing address at which you can be reached.)
Privacy When You Place Your Orders Online
All credit card transactions made on the www.CenterWatch.com web site are conducted using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer -- the industry standard security protocol), which encrypts your payment information.
The information we collect from you when you make an order is a necessary part of processing your order. But that information is only accessible to CenterWatch's Customer Service Manager.
In order to make sure that your order is being handled properly, CenterWatch and our fulfillment service provider -- American Health Consultants -- may contact you by regular mail, phone or email for any of the following reasons:
- To clarify your order
- To clarify your shipping information
- To notify you of new information available from CenterWatch
- To follow up on your order to determine and improve our services to you
The
JobWatch Resume Service
JobWatch, a department within CenterWatch, understands the sensitivity of your job search and how it should be managed. This privacy statement has been developed to ensure in writing our commitment to you in maintaining your privacy through your job search and any other services that JobWatch offers. The JobWatch Resume database form requires users to provide us with their resumes and contact information, including their e-mail addresses. Information that is provided is used by member companies to find qualified job applicants. Information may also be used by CenterWatch to contact applicants when necessary. The JobWatch Resume Service provides options for users to edit their account information and/or to remove their information from our service.
JobWatch E-mail Notification Service
To register for the JobWatch E-mail Notification Service, you must provide an e-mail address and a career category and/or educational category of interest. No other information is required. Because this service is anonymous, the twice-a-month notifications are sent automatically. The CenterWatch staff has access to the list of e-mail notifications generated from subscribers' e-mail addresses for technical purposes. Such purposes refer to any trouble shooting or web-maintenance efforts. At times, CenterWatch may use this list to inform subscribers of a new service JobWatch is offering or a new product CenterWatch is introducing that may assist them in their career search.
If you receive updates that you do not wish to receive, please contact us or follow the "unsubscribe" instructions on our web site, located at the following URL address: http://www.centerwatch.com/careers/emailnotification.html.
Keeping
Our Commitment to You
In order to guarantee that the above precautions are maintained and implemented, we have trained and familiarized our staff with these policies. Each staff member is instructed as to his or her responsibilities regarding the protection of visitor privacy. To further ensure this protection, no one staff member is privy to all personal visitor information. All staff members and commerce partners with access to personal information are expected to uphold these standards.
Other
Important Information
Financial Disclosure:
Many organizations list their clinical trials on the CenterWatch web site. Based on the amount of time and effort that CenterWatch must provide to input and maintain these listings, organizations may be charged a nominal monthly fee. Most of the listings, however, are posted free of charge on the CenterWatch web site.
For additional information about the source of this information and the costs associated with this service, please contact the CenterWatch Internet Services Department at internetservices@centerwatch.com.
Summary
of Additional Risks:
