 The
BookofDoctors.com business has created this privacy policy to
demonstrate our firm commitment to protecting your profile information
and informing you about how we handle it. This privacy policy only
applies to transactions and activities in which you engage
("Transactions"), and data gathered, on the BookofDoctors.com web site
(the "Site") and does not apply to any other web site or offline point
of contact between BookofDoctors.com, or any other company, and
consumers. Please review this privacy policy periodically as we may
modify it from time to time. This privacy policy was last revised on
July 1, 2004. Each time you visit the Site or provide us with
information, by doing so you are accepting the practices described in
this privacy policy at that time.
Your IP Address
Like most e-commerce websites, each time you visit the Site, we
automatically collect your IP address and the web page from which you
came. In order to administer and optimize the Site for you and to
diagnose problems with our Site, we use your IP address to help identify
you and to gather broad demographic information about you.
Cookies
Like most websites, the Site uses cookies to keep track of your
purchases and other activity on the Site and enhance your experience on
the Site. We also use cookies to deliver content specific to your
interests, to save your password, and if you choose, to save other
personal and financial information so you do not have to re-enter it
each time you visit the Site. Third parties advertisers on the Site may
also place cookies on your browser. If you wish to disable these
cookies, the "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell
you how. However, if you set your browser to disable cookies, you may
not be able to access certain areas or features of the Site.
Information We Collect From You
In order to operate the Site and provide you with information on
products and services that may be of interest to you, we may collect
profile information (i.e. information that could be used to contact you
such as full name, postal address, phone number and email address),
financial information (e.g. passwords and credit card numbers),
demographic information (e.g. zip code, hometown, gender, purchase
history information and age), public information such as user ratings
and reviews and a user name from you. Please note that nowhere on the
Site do we knowingly collect profile information from children under the
age of 13.
Information Other Web Sites Collect From You
On the Site, we place links to other web sites operated by other
parties. Some of these other web sites contain our brand names and
trademarks and other intellectual property that we own; others do not.
When you click on these links and visit these other web sites,
regardless of whether or not they contain our brand names, trademarks
and other intellectual property, you need to be aware that we do not
control these other web sites or these other web sites' business
practices, and that this privacy policy does not apply to these other
web sites. Consequently, the operators of these other web sites may
collect different kinds of information about you, and may use and
disclose that information in different ways than we would if it were
collected on the Site. We encourage you to review their privacy policies
and remind you that we will not be responsible for their actions.
How We Use Personal Information
We use your profile information to help us efficiently perform
Transactions on the Site, to contact you when necessary in connection
with Transactions, and to send you information, offers and other
promotional materials for BookofDoctors.com's or third parties' goods or
services. We carefully select the information we send to you and attempt
to send you offers that are of value to you, such as discounts,
exclusive offers or special event information. The Site provides you
with the option of declining to receive offers from BookofDoctors.com by
"opting-out" of receiving this type of communication.
To process Transactions on the Site, we may share your profile
information with our agents, representatives, contractors and service
providers so they can provide us with support services such as
authorization of credit card transactions, order fulfillment and
sweepstakes and promotional fulfillment. We require these entities not
to use your information for any other purpose.
By purchasing listing services, electing
to receive communications (such as emails or magazine subscriptions), or
electing to participate in contests, sweepstakes, or other programs
(such as discount or rewards programs), offered by third parties on the
Site, you consent to our providing your profile information to those
third parties. Those third parties may use your personal information in
accordance with their own privacy policies. You will need to contact
those third parties to instruct them directly regarding your preferences
for the use of your personal information by them. Additionally, you
agree that we will have the right to use and disclose all such
information you submit in the same manner in which we use and disclose
all other information you submit.
Your profile information may be passed on to a third party in the event
of a transfer of ownership or assets, or a bankruptcy, of BookofDoctors.com.
We may also disclose specific information when we determine that such
disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable law, to cooperate with
law enforcement or to protect the interests or safety of BookofDoctors.com
or other visitors to the Site. We also may disclose your profile
information to our subsidiary and parent companies and businesses, and
other affiliated legal entities and businesses with whom we are under
common corporate control. However, all of these parent, subsidiary and
affiliated legal entities and businesses that receive your profile
information from us will comply with the terms of this privacy policy
with respect to their use and disclosure of such profile information.
Any third party with whom we are allowed to share your profile
information is authorized to use your profile information in accordance
with our contractual arrangements with such third parties and in
accordance with their own privacy policies, over which we have no
control, and you agree that we are not responsible or liable for any of
their actions or omissions. Those who contact you will need to be
instructed directly by you regarding your preferences for the use of
your profile information by them.
Please read the information below under the heading "How We Use Public
Information, Reviews, Ratings and User Names" to learn how we may make
some of your profile information accessible to the public via the Site
or via other means.
How We Use Financial Information
We use your financial information to check your qualifications, to bill
you for products and services and to enable you to participate in
discount, rebate and similar programs in which you may elect to
participate. By making a purchase, or engaging in any other kind of
Transaction that uses financial information, on the Site, you consent to
our providing your financial information to our service providers and to
such third parties as we determine is necessary to process your
Transactions, as well as to your credit card issuer for their purposes.
These third parties may include the credit card companies and banking
institutions used to process the Transaction. By purchasing, or making
reservations for, products or services of third parties offered on the
Site, or by participating in programs offered on the Site that are
administered by third parties and that require you to submit financial
information in order to use them, you also consent to our providing your
financial information to those third parties. Any of these various third
parties are authorized to use your financial information in accordance
with our contractual arrangements with such third parties and in
accordance with their own privacy policies, over which we have no
control, and you that we are not responsible or liable for any of their
actions or omissions.
How We Use Demographic Information and Saved Listings
We use demographic information to tailor the Site and
communications to the interests of our users. We may share demographic
information with advertisers and other third parties
("Sponsors") so that they can tailor their advertisements and
communications to the appropriate audience. If you consent to have us
share your profile information as described above, then the demographic
information that we provide to Sponsors may be linked
to your profile information so that Sponsors will be able to know about
your demographic information. If you do not consent to have us share your profile information as
described above, then we will only provide your demographic information
to Sponsors on an anonymous and aggregated basis.
Our Security Precautions, Location of Information
The Site has security measures in place to protect against the loss,
misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Your
information may be transferred to and maintained on computer networks
which may be located outside of the state, province, country or other
governmental jurisdiction in which you reside, and the countries in
which these computer networks are located may not have privacy laws as
protective as the laws in your country.
If you have any questions or concerns about this privacy policy, the
practices of the Site, or your dealings with the Site, you can contact
