UpToDate, Inc. is very sensitive to the privacy needs of its website
visitors and subscribers and is wholly committed to maintaining privacy
at the highest level. UpToDate does not sell or otherwise share subscribers'
or website visitors' personal information with anyone.
To better understand UpToDate's online privacy policies, please read the
following Privacy Policy.
Subscriber Information
UpToDate never automatically collects any information that specifically
identifies you such as your name, address, or e-mail address. This
information is collected only when you voluntarily provide it as part of
the subscription process ("Subscriber Information"). We will ask you
whenever we need Subscriber Information that identifies you or allows us to
contact you.
Consent and Security
It is your choice whether or not you provide your Subscriber Information
to UpToDate, but Subscriber Information is required for UpToDate to provide
you with services (for example, access to UpToDate under a subscription
agreement).
Use of Subscriber Information
Your Subscriber Information may be used internally within UpToDate. For
example, UpToDate may use your Subscriber Information internally to provide
subscription services to you and process your transactions, to contact you
for customer service and billing purposes, to communicate to you about your
subscription or changes to our service, to understand who uses the Website
and to improve the Website. In addition, UpToDate reserves the right to
disclose your Subscriber Information under limited circumstances in the
event UpToDate believes that the Website is being used to commit unlawful
acts, and/or if disclosure of your Subscriber Information is required to
comply with applicable laws or regulations, or with a court or administrative
order.
Usage Information
Non-personally identifying information ("Usage Information") comprises
information that does not identify any particular user. Examples include:
information about which of UpToDate's pages are visited on an aggregate
level, browser type, operating system type, or IP address.
Use of Usage Information
Your Usage Information may be disclosed internally within UpToDate and to
third parties. For example, UpToDate may disclose Usage Information in
order to better understand which parts of the Website users are visiting,
to improve the content of the Website, and for marketing, advertising, or
research purposes. (Institutional licensees should refer to their
subscription and license agreement).
Cookies
The UpToDate Website may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser
files of your computer. Cookies can be used to provide you with tailored
information from the Website. The cookie itself does not contain Subscriber
Information. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a
cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it.
Effective Date
This Privacy Policy is effective as of October 27, 2007 and will remain in
effect unless changed. UpToDate may modify this Privacy Policy at any time,
and such modifications shall be effective immediately upon posting of the
modified Privacy Policy on the Website.
