PCEDM Privacy Policy

endo-society.org.ph includes information about its services and advocacies which include medical materials, web graphics, directory pages, e-business and web maintenance. Our Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect and use the personal information you provide to us on PCEDM and to assist us in making informed decisions when using our Web site, products and services.

What Information Do We Collect?

When you visit our Web site, you may provide us with two types of information: personal information that you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis; and Web site use information, that is collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our Web site.

Personal Information You Choose to Provide

Contact Us Forms. You will provide us information when you inquire the services of PCEDM, subscribe to future newsletters and alerts, and book our services online. This data collection can include such personally identifiable information as name, company name, address, phone number, e-mail address and credit card information. You may also provide additional comments on how you see PCEDM servicing your needs and interests.

Links Page. We display the names of websites that we feel can be helpful resources for our readers. If at any time you wish to be added or removed from the List Page, you can contact us at sec@endo-society.org.ph

E-mail Information. If you choose to correspond with us through e-mail, we may retain the content of your e-mail messages together with your e-mail address and our responses.

How Do We Use the Information You Provide to Us?

We utilize personal information for purposes of providing quotations and customer service, expanding our business activities, and making available other products and services to our customers and prospective customers. We occasionally also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our Web site, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable. You have the opportunity to opt in or opt out of these specific types of communications by notifying us through email.

Blogs

If you use our blogs, you should be aware that any personally identifiable information you submit may be read, collected or used by other users in this forum. We are not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit in the blogs.

We enter into alliances, partnerships and other business arrangements with third parties who will be given access to personal information (including, but not limited to, your e-mail address) for the purpose of providing you information regarding products and services that we think will be of interest to you and that you have opted in to receive. If you opt out of receiving such communications, we will honor your opt-out.

Service Providers

We use third parties to perform credit card processing and e-mail services on our Web site. When you register to our events, our credit card processing vendor will facilitate the transaction. An e-mail service provider will provide our e-mail services. We will share billing and e-mail information, as necessary, with the third party to provide that service. These third parties are prohibited from using your personally identifiable information for any other purpose, including their own marketing purposes.

Notice of New Services and Changes

Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our Web site, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable. You have the opportunity to opt in for these notifications at registration and you have the opportunity to notify us of your desire not to receive these offers by contacting us at a later date.

How Do We Secure Information Transmissions?

The security of your personal information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer (SSL) 128-bit encryption technology. Pages that utilize this technology will have URL’s that start with HTTPS instead of HTTP. To learn more about SSL, click here. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet and no method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be considered 100% secure. E-mail is not recognized as a secure medium of communication. For this reason, we request that you do not send private or sensitive information to us by e-mail. If you have any questions about security on our Web site, please contact us.

Certain Disclosures

We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or subpoena, or if we believe that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the law or comply with legal process served on us or our Affiliated Parties (as defined in our Terms of Use Agreement); (b) protect and defend our rights and property, our site, the users of our site and/or our Affiliated Parties; or (c) act under circumstances to protect the safety of users of our site, ourselves or third parties.

We are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites linked to or from our Web site, nor are we responsible for the information or content contained therein. Links to other Web sites are provided solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our Web site. Please remember that, when you use a link to go from our Web site to another Web site, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect.
