Privacy Policy
Last Updated: November, 2007
USJT.com strives to offer its visitors the many advantages of
Internet technology and to provide an interactive and personalized experience.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address,
street address, telephone number, account number) subject to the terms of this
privacy policy. Please note this policy applies only to information collected
by USJT.com online and does not impact information collected or used by
USJT.com or its affiliates through other means.
How we gather information from users.
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are
visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the services
provided. For example, you may be asked to provide information when you
register for access to certain portions of our site or request certain
features, such as newsletters, news updates and other products, or when you
make a purchase, such as a CE or magazine subscription. You may provide
information when you participate in contests, user feedback requests, message
boards and chat rooms, and other interactive areas of our site.
Like most Web sites, USJT.com also collects information
automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent
to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of your Internet Service
Provider or use cookie technology to recognize you and hold information from
your visit. Among other things, the cookie may store your user name and
password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information each time you
visit, or may control the number of times you encounter a particular
advertisement while visiting our site. As we adopt additional technology, we
may also gather information through other means. In certain cases, you can
choose not to provide us with information, for example by setting your browser
to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do you may be unable to access certain
portions of the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name and password,
and we may not be able to customize the site’s features according to your
preferences.
What we do with the information we collect.
Like other Web sites, we collect information to enhance your visit
and deliver more individualized content and advertising, and we sometimes
permit our advertising and promotional partners to call to your attention
products, special offers and unique content we believe might be of interest to
you. We offer you the opportunity to elect not to receive direct communications
sent by our advertisers or promotional partners, as described below.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally
identify you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine information
about your usage patterns with similar information obtained from other users to
help enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited most
or what features are most attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally
be shared with our advertisers and business partners. Again, this information
does not include any Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow
anyone to identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on
USJT.com to communicate with you about your registration and customization
preferences; our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy; services and products
offered by Health Communications, Inc., and other HCI affiliates and partners;
and other topics we think you might find of interest. We reserve the right to
share this information with other HCI business units and affiliates, including
for example our affiliated magazines. This policy does not apply to the
magazine’s use of such information.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by USJT.com may also
be used for other purposes, including but not limited to site administration,
troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions, administration of
contests, and other communications with you. Certain third parties who provide
technical support for the operation of our site (our Web hosting service and
our news source provider, for example) may access such information. We will use
your information only as permitted by law. In addition, from time to time as we
continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other
companies or businesses. In such transactions, user information may be among
the transferred assets. We may also disclose your information in response to a
court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably required to do so
by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or
to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary.
Please note we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such
cases.
Your choice to opt out.
From time to time our advertising and promotional partners may use
Personally Identifiable Information to call to your attention products and
offers they believe might interest you. If you prefer not to receive direct
communications sent by our advertisers or promotional partners, you will be
given an opportunity to decline before you provide us information we might use
for this purpose. If you decline at the time you provide us with such
information, you will not receive e-mail or other communications sent directly
by our advertisers using information collected from our site, though we may on
occasion send you information on their behalf.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements.
USJT.com expects its partners, advertisers and affiliates to
respect the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that third parties,
including our partners, advertisers, affiliates and other content providers
accessible through our site, may have their own privacy and data collection
policies and practices. For example, during your visit to our site you may link
to, or view as part of a frame on a USJT.com page, certain content that is
actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through USJT.com you may be
introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites, features or
information offered by other parties. USJT.com is not responsible for the
actions or policies of such third parties. You should check the applicable
privacy policies of those third parties when providing information on a feature
or page operated by a third party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other
third parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to identify some
of your preferences or retrieve information about you. For example, some of our
advertising is served by third parties and may include cookies that enable the
advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement
before. Other features available on our site may offer services operated by
third parties and may use cookies or other technology to gather information.
USJT.com does not control the use of this technology by third parties or the
resulting information, and is not responsible for any actions or policies of
such third parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose
Personally Identifiable Information on message boards or in chat areas, that
information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used by third
parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited messages from other
individuals or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of
USJT.com and this policy.
Children.
USJT.com does not knowingly collect or solicit Personally
Identifiable Information from or about children under 13 except as permitted by
law. If we discover we have received any information from a child under 13 in
violation of this policy, we will delete that information immediately. If you
believe USJT.com has any information from or about anyone under 13, please
