XL
Exec, Inc., is dedicated to protect your privacy -- whether
you are a subscriber or a visitor. We use information
collected about you only to process and bill orders and
to make The OrthoConnection™ (“the OC”)
a more useful and valuable service. XL Exec, Inc. strives
to respect the privacy of those who visit or become subscribers
of the OC Service. The policy listed below is applicable
to the OC and other sites on the World Wide Web that are
maintained and operated by XL Exec, Inc.
Subscribers and Visitors
In order to process your request, we need to know contact
information such as your full name, address, telephone
number, e-mail address, title, medical license information,
information profile information (the specific information
that you want delivered to you based on a topics listed
on the OC site) and method of payment. This information
IS NOT shared with third parties, except for: 1) special
promotions of the OC or its partners you have requested
to be shown; 2) where a third party performs services
on behalf of the OC and has agreed to keep such information
confidential; 3) the aggregate use of the information
of multiple OC subscribers and visitors where individual
personal information is not disclosed; and 4) advertising
promotions. The OC shares Web site usage information about
subscribers and visitors with a third-party advertising
company for the purpose of targeting advertising campaigns
and upgrading visitor information used in reporting statistics.
For this purpose, some of the pages you visit on our Web
site use pixel tags (also called clear gifs). The OC also
uses your information to market its services and to gain
feedback on potential new services and visitor needs.
Surveys
Surveys are another method by which we gather information
about our OrthoConnection™ visitors. These surveys may
be about issues facing health care professionals and from
time to time, we request input in order to evaluate potential
features and services. The decision to answer a survey
is completely yours. We use information gathered from
surveys to better represent and address the most pressing
issues and to improve our service.
How Do We Protect Subscriber Information
All information is stored on a secure server. The OrthoConnection™ uses a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) server for our web
site. Browsers will encrypt the contents of the subscription
form before sending it to our server.
The Use of “Cookies” - What is a Cookie
and Why Do We Use Them?
A "cookie" is a small piece of information sent
by a web server to store in a web browser so that it can
later be read back from that browser. The OC uses cookies
to store some personal preferences for your future visits.
Cookies allow the OC to recognize you more quickly; therefore,
your time spent on our site is more personalized and productive.
You'll find that cookies are an industry standard and
are used at most major web sites.
We use third-party sponsors or advertising companies to
serve ads when you visit our web site. In the course of
serving advertisements, our third-party sponsors / advertisers
may place or recognize a unique "cookie" on
your browser. These companies may use information (not
including your name, address, e-mail address or telephone
number) about your visits to the OC and other Web sites
in order to provide advertisements on this site and other
sites about goods, services and information that might
be of interest to you. If you would like more information
about this practice and to know your choices about not
having this information used by these companies, click
here.
In order to make the OC a more valuable product for our
subscribers and visitors, we also collect and analyze
statistical information. From time to time, we share this
information in aggregate with third parties as well as
our subscribers and visitors (i.e. Survey results). However,
this data is reported only in aggregate and reveals no
personal details about individual visitors to our site.
This information is distributed only to help attract appropriate
sponsors / advertisers for the OC site.
Your Consent
By using our web site and signing up for The OrthoConnection™ (“OC”) services, you consent to the collection
and use of the previously mentioned information by XL
Exec, Inc. This policy is subject to change. Privacy issues
represent a growing concern for all web users. To keep
up-to-date with the OC policies, please check this page
frequently. We reserve the right to change, modify, add,
or remove portions of this policy at any time.
