Introduction
The information we receive, and how we use it, depends on what you do when visiting our Web Site. We collect and use your non-personal information (information that is not identifiable to you personally) differently than your personal information.
Collection of Information Provided By Your Browser and Through Use of Cookies
This Site automatically collects information on our server logs and through page tags from your web browser regarding your use of the Site. Examples of information we collect automatically from all users include the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet, computer and connection information such as browser type and version, operating system, and platform, and full Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") click stream data, including date and time, and content you viewed or searched for on the Site.
This Site also collects information through the use of "cookies." Cookies are anonymous, unique alphanumeric identifiers sent to your browser from a Web Site's computers and stored on your computer's hard drive. The type of information we collect as a result of a cookie being stored on your computer is specific to your computer. We use "session" cookies to collect information about your use of the Site and so that you may view articles, abstracts or other records and browse from page to page. These cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. We use "persistent" cookies to give you a more personalized browsing experience and help you navigate the Site more efficiently.
We collect and use, and may from time to time supply third parties with, this information only as anonymous, aggregated user data for the purposes of usage analysis, quality control and administering and improving the Site.
You can prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or disable cookies altogether by accessing your browser's preferences menu.
Non-personal information is information we collect through this Web Site that does not identify you as an individual person. It may include information such as the following:
the type of web browser software you use (for example, Google Chrome or Internet Explorer)
the name of the domain from which you access the Internet
the Internet address of the Web Site from which you linked directly to our Web Site
the date and time you access our Web Site
which pages you have visited on our Web Site
the search terms you use
the links on which you click
personal information that has been been made non-personal or anonymized (i.e., information that no longer reflects or references an individually identifiable user)
If you visit our Web Site to read or download information, such as information about a health condition or article, we may collect certain non-personal information about you from your computer. This information is collected from your computer's web browser: If you only read or download information on our Web Site, we do not collect or learn your name, e-mail address, home address, or other personal information about you. We may place a text file called a cookie in the browser files of your computer when you visit. The cookie may be stored on your computer's hard drive. The information that we collect using cookies is non-personal information. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but some parts of our Web Site may not work properly for you if you do so. We will not allow third parties other than those companies that we hire to perform services or functions on our behalf to place cookies on our Web Site.
Because non-personal information cannot identify you or be tied to you in any way, there are no restrictions on the ways that we can use or share non-personal information. We are always looking for ways to better serve you and improve this Web Site. We will use non-personal information from you to help us make this Web Site more useful to visitors. We also will use non-personal information for other business purposes. For example, we may use non-personal information or aggregate non-personal information to:
create reports for internal use to develop programs, products, services or content
customize the information or services that are of interest to you
share it with or sell it to third parties
provide aggregated information on how visitors use our site, such as "traffic statistics" and "response rates," to third parties
Collection and Registration of Personal Information
We sometimes request users of the Site to provide personal information. The information collected from a user is strictly voluntary and may include contact information such as the user's name, e-mail address, and postal address.
Personal information is information we collect through this Web Site that we can use to specifically identify you, such as your:
name
telephone number
address
e-mail address
description of medical situation
personal health information
date of birth or age
In some places on this Web Site you have the opportunity to send us personal information about yourself, to elect to receive particular information, or to participate in an activity. For example, you may fill out a registration form, a survey, or an e-mail form. You also may choose to allow us to personalize your visits to the Web Site, in which case we will ask you for certain personal information to make your visits to our Web Site more helpful to you. When this information is combined with the non-personal information that we collect through cookies (described above), we will be able to tell that you have visited our Web Site before and can personalize your access to our Web Site, for example, by telling you about new features that may be of interest to you.
We may keep and use personal information we collect from you through this Web Site to provide you with access to this Web Ste. In addition, we may keep and use your personal information:
to respond to your requests
to personalize your access to our Web Site, for example, by telling you about new features that may be of interest to you
to develop records, including records of your personal information
to contact you with information that might be of interest to you and about products and services of ours and of others
for analytical purposes and to research, develop and improve programs, products, services and content
to remove your personal identifiers (your name, e-mail address, social security number, etc). In this case, you would no longer be identified as a single unique individual. Once we have de-identified information, it is non-personal information and we may treat it like other non-personal information.

to protect our rights or property
to protect someone's health, safety or welfare

Disclosure of Personal Information to Third Parties
Access to your personal information is restricted to our employees, agents, representatives and service providers, such as our data processing operations, for the purposes set forth above. With your consent, we also may share your personal information with affiliated Total Pain and Risk Consultants companies and/or with non-affiliated third parties who wish to send you information about their products and services that may be of interest to you, and users who have consented to receive such information may receive communications from these third parties.
We will not otherwise disclose any personal information without your consent except: in response to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our rights to defend against legal claims; if we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, safety of person or property, violation of our policies, or as otherwise required by law; and if we are acquired by or merged with another company.
This Web Site may contain links to other Web Sites. Some of those Web Sites may be operated by third parties. We provide the links for your convenience, but we do not review, control, or monitor the privacy practices of Web Sites operated by others. This Privacy Statement does not apply to any other Web Site. We are not responsible for the performance of Web Sites operated by third parties or for your business dealings with them. Therefore, whenever you leave this Web Site we recommend that you review each Web Site's privacy practices and make your own conclusions regarding the adequacy of these practices.
Our Commitment to Data Security
We recognize that your privacy is important to you, and therefore we endeavor to keep your personal information confidential. The personal and demographic information about each user is stored on servers that are behind a firewall and physically housed within a secured data center. Furthermore, our internal practices help protect your privacy by limiting employee access to and use of personal information. However, we do not represent, warrant, or guarantee that your personal information will be protected against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alterations, and do not accept any liability for the security of the personal information submitted to us nor for your or third parties' use or misuse of personal information.
