SelecTrials offers you choices about the collection and use of your information

You do not need to provide any information that identifies you ("personally identifiable information") in order to visit the SelecTrials website at www.SelecTrials.com or to obtain information from most of the features of our websites. In general, you can use many of our informational websites without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information. If using or being the subject of use of one of our Clinical Trial Management Solutions web sites you may be required to provide personal information and/or personal medical information after providing us or the entity that makes you the subject of use of one of our websites with a signed informed consent form.

We collect personally identifiable information from you only when you voluntarily choose to register for or use special personalized services at this website. Our primary purpose in collecting and processing your personally identifiable information is to provide you with the services you request or that are requested on your behalf such as your participation in a drug, medical device or procedural clinical trial or your participation in available recruitment programs offered by SelecTrials or our partners or affiliates. We may also use your personally identifiable information to provide you with additional information about our products and services and to send you information on other products and services that may be of interest to you. If so, we will state this in the area of our website where we collect information for these purposes and will allow you to choose not to be contacted or receive additional information. We always let you decide, through our user permission questions, whether you want your personally identifiable information to be used for the purpose of providing you with additional information about our products and services.

For some personal registration features, we use cookie technology to remember your selections. We DO NOT store personally identifiable information in cookie files.

Disclosure of information - The personally identifiable information that you provide will be available to SelecTrials, its affiliates, companies working as agents on behalf of SelecTrials (such as companies that collect and process your information for us as well as companies that fulfill your requests for more information about our products or other services) or entities that require your personally identifiable information for the conduct of a drug, medical device or procedural clinical trial. These companies and entities will only use this information at SelecTrials’s direction or at your direction in the case of a clinical trial and are required to sign a confidentiality agreement that prohibits them from sharing, selling, or in any way providing this information to anyone else. SelecTrials will not disclose your personally identifiable information to any parties other than these companies and entities, except whereas required by law.

Use of nonpersonally identifiable information - This website routinely collects nonpersonally identifiable information, including the number of visitors, the most frequently viewed pages, and the average time spent per visit. This anonymous information permits SelecTrials to determine the preferences of our online visitors, and is collected and stored in our web server logs.

Children's online privacy - This website is not directed at children and most of the services offered on this site and all of our other web sites are designed for individuals who are 18 years of age or older unless specifically stated on the home page of a particular site that the site is for individuals under the age of 18. We require that any individual who requests information about a medicine, treatment or clinical trial that is indicated for use in or study of children must be 18 years of age or older.

In some cases, we provide personalized options for children under the age of 13. We require parental consent for children to use these optional features. Requests for parental consent will explain how we collect, use, and disclose children's personal information, and will include an opportunity for parents to prevent use of their children's information, as well as to prevent their children from participating in features which involve the collection of personally identifiable information. Should a child whom we know to be under 13 send personal information to us, we will use that information only to respond directly to that child to inform him or her that we must have parental consent before receiving his or her information.

We will not use, distribute, or disclose any child's personal information to third parties without prior parental consent. If, at any time, a parent withdraws his or her consent to our use or maintenance of personal information collected from his or her child, we will promptly remove such information from our database. In addition, we will not require children under 13 years of age to disclose more personal information than is necessary in order to participate in any online feature or service.

Cookies - This technology enables websites to store small bits of information on your computer and retrieve that information at a later time. A cookie is a string of characters stored in a text file that is sent to your hard drive, where your Internet browser files are kept.
