Varisolve^® Study Website Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the Varisolve^® Study Website developed and maintained by PAREXEL International. You are responsible for reading this Privacy Policy carefully. It will describe the information we collect about you and how we keep your personal information safe and confidential. By providing us with your Personally Identifiable Information, including Personal Health Information, you consent to the collection and use of any information you provide in accordance with the above purposes and this Privacy Policy. You also consent to our transferring your information to countries or jurisdictions which do not provide the same level of data protection as the US, if necessary for the purposes described below. Reference to "PAREXEL" means PAREXEL International, including any company that PAREXEL International controls (for example, a subsidiary of PAREXEL International). PAREXEL may share information among its subsidiaries, and is always protected under the terms of this Privacy Policy. PAREXEL may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will be promptly available on this Varisolve^® Study Website. Continued use of this Varisolve^® Study Website after receiving notice of a change in our Privacy Policy on this page indicates your consent to the use of newly submitted information in accordance with the amended Privacy Policy.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT While you may view some of this Varisolve^® Study Website without providing Personally Identifiable Information, this information will be required to be considered for participation in the study. If you use our Website without completing the pre-qualification survey, the only information we collect will be Non-Personal Information through the use of Cookies or Web Logs. If you choose to complete the pre-qualification survey using the Varisolve^® Study Website, you will be required to submit Personally Identifiable Information which will include Personal Health Information. You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the Personally Identifiable Information and Personal Health Information you submit to PAREXEL. Inaccurate information will affect our ability to contact you as contemplated in this Privacy Policy as well as your participation in the Study.
Non-Personal Information. Even if you do not complete the pre-qualification survey on the Varisolve^® Study Website, we collect Non-Personal Information about your use of our website. Non-Personal Information is information that is not traceable back to any individual and cannot be used to identify an individual. For example, Non-Personal Information includes information such as gender, age, city and state when not linked with other Personally Identifiable Information. Cookies We collect Non-Personal Information about your use of our Website through the use of Cookies. Every computer that accesses the Varisolve^® Study Website is assigned a different Cookie by PAREXEL. A Cookie is a piece of information that your server sends to your browser when you access this Varisolve^® Study Website. Cookies are capable of storing many types of data. Cookies may be used to help us analyze usage of the Varisolve^® Study Website, to facilitate a user's log-in, or to restrict underage use of the website. We do not link Non-Personal Information from Cookies to Personally Identifiable Information without your permission and do not use Cookies to collect or store Personal Health Information about you. Most browser software can be set to reject all Cookies. Note, however, that some portions of this Varisolve^® Study Website may not work properly if you refuse Cookies. Web Logs PAREXEL uses standard Web Logs that record basic data about your visit to this Varisolve^® Study Website, such as the date and time of the visit, the pages of this Varisolve^® Study Website viewed during the visit, and the domain name of your Internet Service Provider. We do not normally seek to identify individuals from Web Logs. However, we may use Web Logs to identify an individual whom we suspect tried to damage this Varisolve^® Study Website or use it in an unauthorized way. We may share our Web Logs with law enforcement agencies if we believe there has been a violation of computer security or related laws. In addition, we may share our Web Logs (which do not contain any individually identifiable information) with our partners to assist them in better designing their websites or clinical trials.
Personally Identifiable Information Personally Identifiable Information is information that can be traced back to an individual. Examples of Personally Identifiable Information include your name, home address, telephone number, email address, Social Security number, and any other information that is linked to this identifying information. We collect Personally Identifiable Information that you provide to us when you complete the pre-qualification survey on the Varisolve^® Study Website. Personal Health Information is a combination of your Personally Identifiable Information with known health characteristics. For example, if you indicated that you have a certain disease or condition, when that information is combined with your name, it becomes Personal Health Information. We use the Personally Identifiable Information and Personal Health Information that you provide to determine if you are eligible for study participation, refer you to a study site if you are eligible and follow-up with you via telephone to determine if you have been contacted by the study site.
Aggregate Data We will combine the information you provide with information from other visitors to the Varisolve^® Study Website to create Aggregate Data which does not contain any uniquely identifying information. We will share this Aggregate Data with the sponsor of the Varisolve^® Study, BTG International Limited and/or its consultants. We will periodically analyze this Aggregate Data and use what we learn to make improvements to the Varisolve^® Study Website. We may also share this Aggregate Data with our partners to assist them in better designing their websites or clinical trials.
Children We are committed to protecting the privacy of children. Neither PAREXEL nor any of its services are designed or intended to attract children under the age of 18. We do not collect Personally Identifiable Information from any person we actually know is under the age of 18.
DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION Except as set forth in this Privacy Policy or as specifically agreed to by you, PAREXEL will not disclose any Personally Identifiable or Personal Health Information it gathers from you on our Varisolve^® Study Website except as described below.
Use and Disclosure We will not use or disclose Personally Identifiable Information or Personal Health Information of users of the Varisolve^® Study Website for any purpose other than those described in this Privacy Policy. If these uses change at any time, we will notify users via email and obtain their consent, if required. We only use and disclose data obtained from users in the following ways: Communication with Regard to Study Referral and/or Qualification Personally Identifiable Information will be used by PAREXEL to follow-up with you or the clinical study site about your referral and/or qualification for the Varisolve^® Study. Sharing Information with Study Sites We will forward Personally Identifiable Information and Personal Health Information to the Varisolve^® Study Site running the clinical trial of interest. Sharing Information with Third Parties We may be forced to disclose Personally Identifiable Information and Personal Health Information to comply with a law or regulation or in response to a search warrant, subpoena, or court order. In the event that we are legally compelled to disclose your Personally Identifiable or Personal Health Information to a third party, we will attempt to notify you unless doing so would violate the law or court order. Disclosures may also be appropriate to protect our legal rights, to protect the security or integrity of the Varisolve^® Study Website, to take precautions against liability, or during emergencies if physical safety is believed to be at risk. These types of disclosures are unlikely to occur, but we want you to be aware that they are possible. You and we acknowledge that no Internet transmission is ever 100% secure or error free. It is your responsibility to ensure that the computer you use is adequately secured and protected against malicious software, trojan horses, computer viruses and worm programs. You understand that, without adequate security measures on the computer you use, there is a risk that your information you provide could be disclosed to unauthorized third parties. Similarly, despite PAREXEL's efforts to protect your Personally Identifiable Information and Personal Health Information, there is always some risk that an unauthorized third party may find a way around our security systems or that transmissions of your information over the Internet may be intercepted. All information provided by visitors to the Varisolve^® Study Website is stored in the PAREXEL Varisolve^® Study Website database for a maximum of seven years.
