This Privacy Policy applies to consumers who have agreed
to receive promotional emails from MediZine, LLC ("MediZine"). By
continuing to receive such promotional emails, you consent to the collection
and use of information by MediZine as outlined in this Privacy Policy.
MediZine practices permission-based marketing, and is committed to respecting
and protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy will help you understand
how and the extent to which MediZine collects, uses and safeguards the Personal
Information (defined below) that you have provided.
Personal Information MediZine Collects From You
If you are receiving MediZine publications and promotional email messages,
this is due to your having returned a business reply card to MediZine upon
which you included certain Personal Information (defined below) and indicated
your interest in receiving such communications. For purposes of this
Privacy Policy, "Personal Information" shall mean information that
can be used to identify you, including, but not limited to: (a) a first and
last name; (b) a home or other physical address, including street name and
name of city or town; (c) an e-mail address; or (d) a telephone number.
How MediZine Uses Personal Information
MediZine may use your Personal Information to send email communications to
you, including email communications sent on behalf of its advertisers and other
partners. If you indicated your interest in receiving health or medical
information from third parties, then MediZine may share your Personal Information
with such third parties. MediZine does not share your Personal Information
with any third parties other than as specifically stated in this Privacy Policy. MediZine
may use your Personal Information for internal business purposes, such as performing
market analysis and analyzing and managing its business.
MediZine may provide subscriber information in aggregate, de-identified form
(i.e., in a manner that the data cannot be traced back to you) to its advertisers
and other parties.
MediZine may, in its sole discretion, share or transfer your Personal Data
where permitted or required by law, to comply with legal process (for example,
MediZine may disclose your information as necessary to comply with an authorized
civil, criminal or regulatory investigation), to protect the security or integrity
of its databases or the Website, to protect MediZine’s business or reputation,
to take precautions against legal liability, in the event of a business transition
(see below), to protect and defend the rights or property of MediZine, for
required institutional risk control, or for resolving disputes, inquiries or
complaints with respect to your use of the Website.
MediZine may also employ other companies and individuals to perform certain
functions on its behalf. Examples include sending direct and electronic mail,
information technology support, maintaining and removing duplicate information
from user lists, analyzing data and providing marketing analysis. The agents
performing these limited functions on MediZine’s behalf shall have access
to its users’ Personal Information as needed to perform their functions
for MediZine but are not permitted to use your Personal Information for other
purposes. All MediZine contractors operate under federal and state laws
regarding consumer privacy.
Business Transitions
In the event MediZine goes through a business transition, such as a merger,
acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets,
your Personal Data might be among the assets transferred.
