Clinical Force Privacy policy
Our Commitment To Privacy At Clinical Force Inc, we are strongly committed to protecting your privacy. You can navigate the majority of our site without giving us any personal information about yourself. However, sometimes we need additional information about you in order to provide the information or services you are requesting.
Your privacy is important to us. To protect your privacy, we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on every page of our site, particularly at every point where you may opt to provide us your personally identifiable information.
The Information We Collect This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on the Clinical Force Web site. We collect information in several ways, which are described below:
On some pages, you can register to receive information on an automated, “alert” basis. The type of information that you can register to receive on an automated basis includes general information about Clinical Force such as:
- Press releases
- News and presentations
The personal information collected when you register to receive information on an automated basis is your email address. Each time you receive an automated email alert, you have the option of canceling your registration and removing your email from the database by simply clicking on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of each email alert message.
On some pages, you may opt to provide us information about yourself if you are interested in an employment opportunity at Clinical Force. The information requested from you will be based on your area of interest.
On some pages, you can register to receive customized information. This information is generally collected on “Contact Us” forms where you can ask a Clinical Force representative to contact you in order to answer questions or provide specific information. The personal information you provide on these forms may include your name, title, company name, address, contact numbers, and email. However, only your name and email are required in order to meet your request. If you are requesting a proposal, then additional information may be required to fulfill your request.
On some pages, you can choose to register to receive access to webcasts, periodic newsletters, or information on a specific Clinical Force product or service. Generally, the personal information collected when you register to receive this type of information is your name, company, affiliation, and email address. This information is collected for qualification and aggregate measurement purposes only.
On some pages, you may choose to enter personal information about yourself that may allow you access to specific Clinical Force information or services. For example, qualified customers or physicians may enter identifying information that allows them to access their Clinical Force project information, subscription services, or electronic products.
The Way We Use Information We store the information you provide about yourself in a secure database in order to provide you with the information, products, and/or services you request. The information is stored for the lifetime of the database unless you request that it be removed. The information you provide us about yourself will be shared with Clinical Force employees to the extent necessary to accommodate your request. You must consent for us to share your identifiable information with third parties, who would be bound by a confidentiality agreement.
For example, if you provide your name, mailing address, telephone and email address and request more information about Clinical Force’ services, this information will be shared with appropriate Clinical Force personnel to fulfill your request. This information will not be shared with any outside third parties without your consent.
We use non-identifying and aggregate information about the use of our Web site to improve the navigation, content, and design of our site. This information may include, for example, the most and least requested pages and the number of users from the U.S. and other countries, among other things.
Finally, unless otherwise excepted below, we would not use your personally identifiable information provided to us online for purposes other than those you requested without also providing you an opportunity to agree or otherwise limit such unrelated purposes.
Exceptions Except as described above, we will not otherwise use or disclose any of your personally identifiable information, except to the extent reasonably necessary: (i) to correct technical problems and malfunctions and to technically process your information; (ii) to protect the security and integrity of our Web site; (iii) to protect our rights and property and the rights and property of others; (iv) to take precautions against liability; (v) to the extent required by law or to respond to judicial process; or (vii) to the extent permitted under other provisions of law, to provide information to law enforcement agencies or for an investigation on a matter related to public safety, as applicable.

Session cookies help us make sure you are who you say you are after you’ve logged in and are required in order to use the Clinical Force application. clinicalforce.com uses persistent cookies, that only Clinical Force can read and use, to identify the fact that you are a Clinical Force customer or prior clinicalforce.com Website visitor (whatever the case may be). We are especially careful about the security and confidentiality of the information stored in persistent cookies. For example, we do not store account numbers or passwords in persistent cookies.
