in other ways, such as when we administer online surveys
and promotions (e.g., contests). Demographic information
is used to tailor your experience at our site, so we
can provide you with content that is likely to be of

necessary. You may opt-out of receiving such communications
in the future, as described below. We also use contact
information to generate aggregate, anonymous demographic
information, which is used as described above.

to any outside parties, except to the extent necessary
to comply with applicable laws, police investigations,

"Personal Information" includes (1) personally identifiable
information, such as your name, phone number, mailing
address, email address, etc., (2) demographic information,
such as your age, gender, etc., and (3) your responses
to promotional and educational surveys and questions.
As a Medivisor.com panel member, you will be given the
opportunity to provide Personal Information so that
we can determine which Site activities are most appropriate
for your participation. For example, certain Medivisor.com
clients may wish to interact with certain panel members,
such as physicians with a particular specialty (e.g.
cardiology) or those with certain demographic criteria
(e.g. number of years in practice).
In order to become a Medivisor.com panel member and access
the Site, you will be asked to complete our Registration
Form, which will serve as your Member Profile. You may
also, at your option, indicate to us whether we may
contact you regarding promotional opportunities or materials
or provide you with certain value added services, such
as receiving product samples, scheduling a representative
visit, participating in continuing medical education
courses, receiving invitations to market research and
symposia, being invited to speak for a Medivisor.com
client company, or participating in surveys or other
services or areas of interest yet to be determined.

(i.e. technical support), or to help diagnose problems

Personal Information as a record of such correspondence,
but keep it confidential and use it strictly to respond
to such requests or technical necessities.
3)
What is Anonymous Information and how will Medivisor.com
use it?
"Anonymous Information" means information that cannot
be traced back specifically to you as an individual.
The Anonymous Information we use comes from collecting
data from you as a member of our panel (i.e. Site users)
on an aggregated basis (i.e. categorized into groups
of information) and converting Personal Information
into Anonymous Information, which is also compiled on
an aggregated basis. We use such Anonymous Information
to study the behavior and usage patterns of our panel
members, and report data from such Anonymous Information
to our clients.

of the Site you visit, the time of your visit, the type
of web browser you use (the software you use to connect
to the Internet and visit websites), the type of computer
system you use, etc. This Anonymous Information comes
from your web browser which sends the information to
our web server in the form of URLs (website address
known as the Uniform Resource Locator), referrer Ids
(information from your web browser showing us what URL
you came from), IP addresses (a number, known as an
Internet Protocol address, that identifies your computer
so that data can be sent to your computer), computer
system information and logs of web browsing activities
(known as "web logs").
In addition, Medivisor.com may use "cookie" technology
to capture your activity on the Site. A "cookie" is
a small file that is sent from our web server and stored
on your computer hard drive while you are visiting our
Site. Cookies store and retrieve information on your
computer about your web browsing activities, such as
what website you came from and what web pages you go
to on our Site.
Using Anonymous Information helps us improve our product
and service offerings, administer our Site, and diagnose
problems with our server, services and software. Such
information enables us to make better decisions about
how we operate or improve our Site from both business
and technical perspectives.

its Service to show selected physicians promotional
