C. HOW YOUR COLLECTED INFORMATION MAY BE USED

Your Personal User Information, User Provided Case Information, Optional User-Provided Information and any other information or materials you voluntarily provide may be used by Bracco for enhancing the Services and other commercial uses. Bracco hereby reserves the right to and may alter, decompile, dissemble, and create derivative works of any and all such materials. You expressly consent to Bracco’s use of the foregoing content in this manner and understand that such information may be cross-marketed and shared with other users and third parties who may have an interest in your use of the Website and Services.

(i) Personal User Information

Bracco collects your Personal User Information for the purpose of administering your use of the Website and Services. Your password is cryptographically hashed, and your email address is encrypted.

Other than where Bracco shares Personal User Information with third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy, you are solely responsible for (1) maintaining the strict confidentiality of your Personal User Information, (2) not allowing another person to use your Personal User Information to access the Services, and (3) any and all damages or losses that may be incurred or suffered as a result of any activities that occur under your Personal User Information. 

You may opt out of receiving content announcements and messages. However, the Website will not allow you to opt out of any announcements and messages related to the implementation of this Privacy Policy and your obligations hereunder. As such, should your uploaded cases, case captions, or comments contain identifying information about a patient (as described in the Terms of Service), you may receive messages from Bracco notifying you of a potential privacy violation associated with this content.

You agree to immediately notify Bracco in writing by email to info@greatsonographer.com of any unauthorized use of your Personal User Information or any other breach of security. Bracco is not and shall not be liable for any harm arising from or relating to the theft of your Personal User Information, your disclosure of your Personal User Information, or the use of your Personal User Information by another person or entity. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, if we share any Personal User Information with any third party in compliance with the terms of this Privacy Policy, the third party’s use of that shared Personal User Information will not constitute unauthorized use.

(ii) User-Provided Case Information

In order to improve the Website or Services; personalize the content; and make recommendations to you, we may use and analyze the User-Provided Case Information. We may conduct surveys and research, test features in development, and analyze the User-Provided Case Information to improve Bracco’s products and services, develop new features, and conduct audits and quality assurance.

Bracco is concerned about safeguarding the confidentiality of your User-Provided Case Information. We have implemented physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in our Website and Services to protect information we process and maintain. Also, the Website and Services store de-identified images only, not the original unedited image, which may contain personally identifying features (see list of identifying features in Bracco’s Content Policy).

We use reasonable efforts to limit access to your User-Provided Case Information to authorized employees and contractors who need to know such information in order to operate, develop, or improve the Website or Services. Please be aware that, although we will take reasonable steps to safeguard and maintain security of User-Provided Case Information that we process and maintain, no security system can prevent all potential security breaches. Please refer to the Terms of Service for more details about Bracco’s and your obligations with respect to the proper use of the Website and/or Services and notification obligations thereunder.

(iii) Optional User-Provided Information

If you perform any of the activities that results in Bracco’s collection of Optional User-Provided Information, such Optional User-Provided Information may be handled in a different way, including as follows:

• Request verification of your status as a healthcare professional. If you are verified, we will store your status as a “verified healthcare professional.”
• Invite colleagues to join the Website so that they can use the Website and/or Services. While we may access your address book, we do not store your complete address book.
• Expand your user profile with additional information. This information is public and can be seen by other users of the Website or Services – for further detail, please see the section titled How Your Collected Information May Be Used – Access by Other Users of the Website.

(iv) Automatically Collected Information

In order to improve the Website and Services; to personalize the content; and to make recommendations to you, we use and analyze the Automatically Collected Information.

Bracco may use your Automatically Collected Information to contact you from time to time to provide you with important information, push notifications, and marketing promotions. You may opt-out of the foregoing by updating your preferences in your user account. 

(v) Personalization of Experience

Bracco may use your information to personalize the Services, including its content, marketing messages, and advertising served to you on the Website and to generally enhance and tailor your experience with the Services. For example, we may tailor your Website profile’s focus on content relevant to your practice, specialty and inferred interests based on your profile and how you engage with the Services. We may use your information to target (and measure the performance of) advertising and other content sponsored by third parties.

(vi) Verification

Bracco may use your information in conjunction with information from third parties to recognize you as a registered user of the Website when you use the Services and to verify your identity and/or professional credentials. We may require you to provide proof of your identity, including that you are a healthcare professional, and if you are unable to do so to Bracco’s reasonable satisfaction, we reserve the right to deny you access to the Services. While we take steps to verify that Bracco’s members who identify as healthcare professionals are actually healthcare professionals, we make no guarantee as to their identity, professional credentials or licensure status.

(vii) Access by Other Users of the Website

Anything you do, post, and/or share through your use of the Services may be seen by other users of the website. Therefore, you do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy when using such features of the Services. Certain portions of the Services are designed to allow you to share information, cases and comments with other users of the Website.

 

D. SHARING YOUR INFORMATION WITH THIRD PARTIES

Information about your use of the Website or Services, including any of your Personal User Information, User-Provided Case Information, Optional User-Provided Information and/or Automatically Collected Information (collectively, the “Collected Information”), may be shared with third parties or otherwise disclosed, within or outside your jurisdiction, in any of the circumstances described below.

(i) Service Providers

Bracco works with third party service providers to help us provide the Services and to otherwise assist us in the operation of the Website. These service providers assist us in areas such as email management and deployment, analytics, marketing, advertising, market research, sweepstakes and contest administration, identity and professional credential validation, content distribution, customer service, payment fulfillment, event logistics, website maintenance and data storage and security. We may provide these service providers with Collected Information so that they can properly provide their services to us. However, we do require that they agree to limit their use of Collected Information to the fulfillment of these responsibilities.

(ii) User Profiles

Subject to applicable law, Bracco may provide Personal User Information and other information related to users of the Website (or portions thereof) to third parties, which these third parties may use for their business purposes including marketing.

(iii) Aggregated and Anonymized Information

Subject to applicable law, Bracco may provide aggregated and/or anonymized information about users of Bracco’s Services to third parties as we deem appropriate in Bracco’s sole discretion. For example, we may tell a customer what percentage of registered users of the Website reside in a particular geographical area or specialize in a particular clinical area, or what percentage of participants in a market research survey selected a particular response to a survey question.

(iv) Reserved

(v) Social Widgets

Bracco may include social widgets within Bracco’s Website, which enable you to interact with the associated social media services, e.g., to share an article. These widgets may collect Automatically Collected Information, which may be collected by the third party providing the widget. We have no control over and are not responsible for the functionality of such widgets and we are therefore not responsible for any use of the Automatically Collected Information collected and used by such widgets. Accordingly, you acknowledge and agree use of such Automatically Collected Information collected through the use of any such widget will be governed by the privacy policy of the third party providing the widget. You may be able to manage your privacy preferences directly with the applicable social widget’s platform.

(vi) Adverse Event Reporting

If you provide us information about an adverse event regarding a pharmaceutical product or medical device, Bracco may be required to report such information, along with your contact information, to the manufacturer in order to fulfill its reporting obligations to the applicable regulatory authority. If you do not want this information reported to the applicable manufacturer and regulatory authority, then do not provide us with adverse event information.

(vii) Business Transfers and Affiliates

Bracco may share Collected Information with any member of Bracco’s subsidiaries for their use for the purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy, including to market to you through a variety of channels as described herein, subject to applicable law. In connection with a corporate change in control resulting from, for example, a sale to, or merger with, another entity, or in the event of a sale of assets or a bankruptcy, we reserve the right to transfer your Collected Information to the new purchaser entity or to a prospective purchaser in connection with the discussions or negotiations of an agreement concerning any of the foregoing. In the event of such a change, your Collected Information will continue to be treated in compliance with this Privacy Policy.

(viii) Legal Requirements

Bracco may release Collected Information when we believe, in our sole discretion, that such release (i) is required to comply with valid legal requirements under law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena or court order or to meet national security or law enforcement requirements; or (ii) is reasonable in response to a physical threat to you or others, to protect property or defend or assert legal rights of us or others.

California Consumer Privacy Act – Notice for California Residents

If you are a California resident, this Privacy Notice supplements the information above regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information.           

The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) gives California consumers the right to know what personal information is collected about them, how it will be used and to whom it is disclosed.

The purpose of this notice is to describe our practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and sale of personal information and instructions for submitting CCPA data privacy requests. Some of the Personal information that we collect, use, and disclose may be exempt from the CCPA because it is regulated by other federal and state laws that apply to us.

We collect personal information from you when you interact with us online through our Services or offline. The personal information we may collect from you will depend on the nature of our interaction with you, but can include the following categories that we have collected in the preceding twelve (12) months:  

 Personal Information Category

  • Name
  • Address
