What Information We Collect.

Some features on the Website ask you for personal information. This information includes, but is not limited to: email address, name, postal address, telephone number, date of birth and credit card information. We also collect the name, address and email information of any third-party recipient you may have entered. We may also capture certain non-personal information such as the browser, operating system or the type of search engine you are using.

We may also collect general demographic information about our Website users.  This information creates a broad picture of our population rather than focusing on any one individual.  This information is used to continually refine our content and to identify the most popular areas of our Website.

How We Use This Information.

We use this information to better serve our customers. The information gathered might be used when updating information on the Website. We may use the information you provide about yourself or others to fulfill requests for our products and services, to support credit reporting requirements of our CME partner or specialty board, or to respond to inquiries about offerings.  Also, we might use the information to offer other products, programs or services that may be of interest to you.

To better provide products that would interest you, we may combine information we receive with outside records to enhance our ability to market those products or services.

If you have provided information for someone else to receive a product or service, then that information will be used to send them a  gift card, if such a service was requested by the donor. We might also use this information to notify them of other products and services that may be of interest to them.

Cookies.

To enhance your online experience we use cookies. Cookies are text files we place in your computer’s browser to store your preferences. Cookies are commonly used by websites to improve the user experience and have not been known to transmit computer viruses or otherwise harm your computer. Many cookies last only through a single website session or visit. Others may have an expiration date, or may remain on your computer until you delete them. Cookies, by themselves, do not tell us your e-mail address or other personally identifiable information unless you choose to provide this information to us by, for example, registering at one of our sites. However, once you choose to furnish the site with personally identifiable information, this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie.

We use cookies to understand Internet usage and to improve our content, offerings and advertisements. For example, we may use cookies to maintain continuity during your session, personalize your experience at our Web pages (e.g., to recognize you by name when you return to our site), save your password in password-protected areas and enable you to use shopping carts on our sites. We also may use cookies to offer you products, programs or services. Our cookies will track only your activity relating to your online activity on this Website, and will not track your other Internet activity.

If you do not want cookies, most Web browsers include an option that allows you to not accept them. However, if you set your browser to refuse cookies, some portions of our site may not function effectively. We may occasionally use other companies to set cookies on our websites and gather cookie information for us. We use the cookie information gathered by these companies in the same manner as stated above.
