Privacy Policy
Last revised: March 31, 2006
We understand that your privacy is important to you, and therefore it is important to Pharmacy OneSource. This Privacy Policy explains the types of information we collect, how we may use this information, and the choices you have about how the information is used. We want you to feel comfortable using our website and to understand the following privacy principles under which we operate. We hope you will read this privacy policy carefully, and let us know if you have questions or concerns.
INFORMATION COLLECTED
Pharmacy OneSource wants to provide information of interest to its users and
much of the information we provide is in response to user requests. In order to
respond to your requests, we will need to use certain information about you. In
addition, some of our services can be available only if we have information
about your preferences and interests. Therefore, each of our users has the
opportunity to complete a profile indicating their marketing and informational
preferences and their site personalization preferences. For example, you can
choose to have information selected for your areas of interest displayed when
you sign on to Pharmacy OneSource. You also have the option of whether or not to
allow selected third parties to send you marketing material and other
information about their products and services. You may change any of these
preferences at any time.
When you register to use Pharmacy OneSource we ask you to provide us with certain information, including your name, employer zip code, and e-mail address. If you choose to complete a profile of yourself, we will also collect additional information about you, your pharmacy specialties and your preferences regarding the type of information you wish to receive. We use this information to determine the types of information and services you are most likely to be interested in, and to direct this information to you. You may change your registration information at any time.
We will also ask you for information when you agree to be contacted about panel discussions or focus groups. We also collect information when you choose to respond to market surveys or questionnaires on the website.
USE OF INFORMATION
Except as described below, Pharmacy OneSource will not use or disclose any
identifiable information about you to unrelated or unaffiliated companies or to
any third parties without your prior authorization.
We will not disclose personal or identifiable information about you to third parties without your specific permission, except as necessary to provide you with services or information that you specifically request.
In addition, you can give us permission in your Pharmacy OneSource personal profile to provide your contact information to selected third parties to send you marketing material and information about their pharmacy related products, programs and services.
If you give us permission when you complete your Pharmacy OneSource personal profile, we use the information you provide in order to direct to you the type of information we think you are most likely to be interested in; for example, information of particular relevance to your marketplace interests or pharmacy specialties.
We also use the information you provide us in your profile to analyze use of our website and services and to make changes to both the design and content of the site in order to provide better service. We also may compile non-identifiable information about you and other users of Pharmacy OneSource ("aggregate information") and provide this information to third parties for market analysis and other purposes. For example, we might inform third parties about the number or percent of our users who practice in a particular pharmacy setting, who have management responsibilities, or who reside in certain geographic areas.
Identifiable information also may be provided to third parties in order to comply with legal requirements, including search warrants, court orders, and government audits.

regulations and we are happy to enter into a business associate agreement to

the license agreement that we both agree to when our applications are installed
