Summary

To enhance, personalize, and support your experience on the site, among other things, we collect, use, and share your user information. For example, we use aggregated information to develop content targeted to user interests and to generally improve the site’s user experience. As detailed below, your user information may also be used by PRMA to tailor content and ads, provide social media features (e.g., features that allow you to share content directly to your preferred social media platform), track your preferences, analyze traffic, and provide similar services and content. PRMA is committed to your privacy and will not share any user information with any third party without your consent, except as outlined in this Privacy Statement or as permitted by law.

What This Privacy Statement Covers

This Privacy Statement covers the site. While you may encounter links on the site to other websites, please note that these websites are not covered by this Privacy Statement (unless otherwise noted on such site).

This Privacy Statement does not apply to the activities of other third parties that may collect your user information while accessing or using such third party’s services in connection with your use of our site (e.g. social media and sharing services). The privacy and information practices of those third parties are not covered by this Privacy Statement. To learn more about such third party policies, we encourage you to read and review the privacy statements of each third party service that you may choose to use in connection with the site. This Privacy Statement applies only to information collected by us.

As a general reminder, please think carefully before you decide to put anything on the internet. For example, if you voluntarily disclose user information in chat areas or bulletin boards (e.g., comments sections), that information could be seen and used by others, and may result in unsolicited messages from others. We are not responsible for the personally identifiable information or other user information you may choose to submit in these public forums. To request removal of your personal information from our blog or community forum, please contact us as provided below. In some cases, we may not be able to remove personal information voluntarily disclosed by you in such forums for legal retention purposes or technical limitations (e.g., the data may not be searchable), in which case, we will notify you if we are
unable to do so.

Gathering Of Information

Section Overview: We collect user information when you use the site. Sometimes you may submit it to us yourself, other times it may be collected automatically. You can manage and change your preferences as outlined below.

Information Collected

When you use the site, your user information may be collected, used, and shared in a variety of manners. As detailed below, the type of user information collected may vary based on how it was gathered, but may include, your name, email address, and other information that you voluntarily submit (e.g., when submitting a form on the site, you may submit your contact information, medical information and photos), information automatically collected about your usage of the site (e.g., the content that you choose to view), and information about you that our third party partners may share with us if such third party partners have previously received your consent to do so.

PRMA collects user information that is voluntarily provided by you or with your permission. For example, we may ask you for your information when you submit a contact form or virtual consultation. You always have the option not to provide the information we request.

Cookies

A cookie is a small data file that is written to your computer’s hard drive by your web browser. A cookie file can contain and/or automatically collect information, such as a user identification code or IP address, that a website will use to track the pages and number of times you have visited. The data read from these cookies may be linked to personally identifying (PII) and non-personally identifying (non-PII) information.

This information is used for

• enabling social media features,
• safeguarding against spam and malware,
• analyzing trends, traffic, and user behavior,
• administering the website,
• gathering demographic information about our user base as a whole,
• tracking web and advertising analytics throughout the site and its affiliate websites,
• performing location-related analytics,
• and educating ourselves about how we can continue to improve the site and its various elements.

Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but generally allow users to modify their browser settings to display a warning before accepting a cookie, to accept cookies only from certain websites, and/or to refuse all cookies.

Use Of Your Information

Our primary goal in collecting, using, and sharing user information is to enhance your experience on the site, support the site, and improve its features, performance, and other elements. Your user information may be used for the purposes outlined below. We will not use your user information without a valid legal basis to do so.

To Target Content And Advertising

To develop and provide content and advertising to you that is targeted to your interests, we use the analytics collected by the systems described above to determine which areas of our website you prefer based upon the frequency of your visits and engagement with those areas.

From time to time we may provide e-mails highlighting new features, promotions or contests on the website to those users who have expressly provided us with their permission to send such communications as part of their user profile.

To Provide Communications From Third Parties

We respect the privacy of our users and will not disclose or distribute our user list to any third party, nor will we permit anyone else to do so.

Sharing Of Information

You may be requested to voluntarily provide certain user information during your use of the site. If you choose to do so, that user information will be shared with PRMA as well as third party sites providing hosting and other services for PRMA.

We use third parties to provide e-mail service, form submissions and hosting services on the site. When you submit such information, we will share your user information securely only as necessary for the third party to provide the service. These third parties are prohibited from using your user information for any other purpose. If you do not want your information to be shared, you can choose not to allow the transfer of your information by not using that particular service.

From time-to-time we may provide you the opportunity to participate in contests or surveys on our site. If you participate, we will request certain personally identifiable information from you, such as your name and e-mail. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. We use this personally identifiable information to notify contest winners and award prizes.

We may use a third party service provider to conduct these surveys or contests; that company will be prohibited from using our users’ personally identifiable information for any other purpose. We will not share the personally identifiable information you provide through a contest or survey with other third parties unless we give you prior notice and choice.

We do offer social media share services on our website. These services give you the option to post information about your activities on this website to your profile page to share with others within your network. The site includes social media features, widgets and/or interactive mini-programs that run on our site. These features are small content modules that users can embed on sites and may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our site, or set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our website. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.

In The Event Of Sale Or Bankruptcy

The ownership of the site may change at some point in the future. Should that occur, we want this site to be able to maintain a relationship with you. In the event of a sale, merger, public offering, bankruptcy or other change in control of PRMA, your information may be shared with the person or business that owns or controls this site. Opting out of receiving information from third parties will not affect our right to transfer your information to a new owner, but your choices will continue to be respected regarding the use of your information. You will be notified as described below in “How will I know if the Privacy Statement is changed.”

As Required By Law

PRMA may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law such as to comply with a subpoena or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to conform to the edicts of the law, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order or legal process served on PRMA or to protect and defend the rights or property of PRMA.

Security

Section Overview: We care about the protection of your user information and use industry standard safeguards to do so. Of course, it’s important to keep in mind that no data transmission on the Internet is guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Your information is stored on PRMA and Formstack servers located in the United States. We use industry standard physical, electronic, and organizational safeguards to protect your user information against loss or theft as well as unauthorized access and disclosure to protect your privacy. We treat data as an asset that must be protected against loss and unauthorized access. We employ many different security techniques to protect such data from unauthorized access by users inside and outside the company. However, “perfect security” does not exist on the Internet. If you are concerned that your privacy may have been breached, please contact us as provided below.

Privacy Of Children

Section Overview: The site is intended for people who are at least 16 years of age.

If you are less than 16 years old, please do not send any user information to us–including information such as your name, address, or e-mail address. We do not knowingly collect (nor do we wish to collect) any personally identifiable information or other user information from children under the age of 16. In the event that we learn we have collected any personal information from a child under the age of 16, we will delete that information from our database and terminate the corresponding account, if any. We encourage you to discuss the site with your parent or guardian.

Cross-Border Transfers

Section Overview: Your user information may be transferred to other countries in connection with your use of the site. If you access or use the site outside of the United States, your user information will be transferred to our servers in the United States.
