Your Personal Information and How We Collect It

 

Information You Provide

We collect information you provide to us through our websites and to affiliated
micro-sites that are owned and operated by DDN. We collect your information when
you create an account, subscribe to a newsletter or email, download digital
materials (e.g. infographics, ebooks, white papers etc.), sign-up for a webinar
or otherwise communicate with us through our websites.

The data we collect from you can include personal information. Personal
information is data that can be used to identify an individual (such as first
and last name, e-mail address, address, telephone number etc.). Furthermore, to
ensure that you have a genuine interest in our content, products and services,
we may also ask for work-related information such as your job title, your
company name, technologies you use, your area of work or industry, the type of
business you work for or own, and your scientific interests. We do this to
ensure that we are providing you with information that is relevant to you and
your field of study or work. At no point will we ask for any “sensitive”
information such as religious beliefs, political affiliation, racial or ethnic
origin or any other information that does not pertain to your activity or
interest in the sciences.

Once registration is complete no further information is required for free access
to this site. Additional personal information from visitors may be required to
participate in online forums.

 

Information We Collect

To optimize our website, match content to your needs and deliver a more
personalized user experience, DDN also automatically collects information
regarding your use of our websites. When visiting our brands online, we log
information about your visit and also use tracking mechanisms such as cookies,
pixels and scripts to collect information about your interaction with our
websites or emails. These can be used to provide you with additional information
that is relevant to your work or scientific areas of interest.

 

Cookies are digital text files placed on your computer. Using cookies is a
common practice. We may place cookies on your computer to allow us to recognize
you on our websites when you visit us, to measure online traffic, to present you
with relevant products or services, or to customize your experience. We use
session cookies to make navigating our website easier, and they expire when you
close your browser. Additionally, tracking cookies are used to help us
understand how you use our websites, they enhance your user experience, and they
remain on your computer or device for an extended period of time.

Your browser may include settings that allow you to block cookies or be notified
when cookies are being used. Please be aware that if you block or remove
cookies, certain features and functions of our websites may be unavailable or
may not operate optimally.

 

Pixels are small graphic images placed in web pages and e-mail messages. They
may be used to count the number of visitors to our websites, to monitor how
users navigate our websites, or to verify how many articles or links were
viewed.

 

Scripts are used to collect information about your interactions with our
websites. They are temporarily downloaded on your computer from our server, or
the server of a third-party we work with. They are active while you are
connected to our websites, and are deleted or deactivated thereafter. We do not
install or download any software to your computer as part of your user
experience.

 

Information from Other Sources

We may also collect or purchase information from other scientific industry
sources, such as scientific organizations, research conferences, academic
institutions, scientific directories, etc. Your personal information is only
collected and stored in our databases if it is publicly available and there is a
clear link between your area of work and the content, products, and services we
offer. We may also combine this information with information we have already
collected about you in order to understand your needs better and provide you
with a better user experience.

If you are a resident of the European Union or the United States and all the
information we have collected about you is from third-party scientific sources,
we will only communicate with you on a trial basis with a limited number of
attempts before we remove your information from our database. We will also only
contact you about scientific content and topics that you have shown interest in
or about scientific products you have purchased in the past that have been
deemed relevant to you and your industry, job, scientific interests or area of
work. If we see that you have not engaged with our communications or digital
content, we will remove your personal information from our database. If you do
engage with our communications and digital content before the end of our trial
period, we will consider you an active contact for as long as you continue to
engage with our content and our websites in the future, or until you choose to
unsubscribe from future communications. We offer a means of unsubscribing on
every communication that we send to you and through our privacy policy. If you
would like to know more about how we engage with you, please contact us.

Known Canadian residents may be contacted if they have provided their personal
information through our websites, affiliated micro-sites, over the phone or at
an event or conference where they have expressed consent to be contacted by Drug
Discovery News and its affiliated brands. Canadian residents may be contacted,
as allowed by law, if they have met one or more of the following conditions of
implied consent: having an existing business relationship (EBR) based on a
previous commercial transaction with the recipient; or having an existing
non-business relationship based on, for example, membership in your club, or if
the recipient participated as a volunteer for your charitable organization;
persons who make their email address publicly available by publishing it on a
website may be contacted if it is not accompanied by a statement indicating they
do not want to receive commercial electronic messages at that address. If the
statement is not present, the message must relate to the recipient's business
role, functions or duties in an official or business capacity. For more
information about Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation, please click here.

 

Your Personal Information and How We May Use it

The personal information gathered about you is used for a variety of purposes.
The first is to build up a demographic profile of our subscribers, allowing us
to better match our content and services to your interests. Obviously, the more
accurate the information you provide, the better we can do this. For this
reason, we encourage you to regularly update your profile to provide us with the
most accurate information possible.

In addition, we may use your personal information for other purposes that
include:

 * Facilitating, managing, personalizing and improving your online experience;
 * Responding to your comments, questions and requests, providing customer
   service, sending you informational notices, and contacting you if we need to
   obtain or provide additional information;
 * Managing your online account(s), including purchases, orders, payments,
   returns, and exchanges;
 * Sending you technical notices, updates, security alerts, support and
   administrative messages;
 * Communicating with you about products, services, offers, promotions, coupons,
   newsletters, events and providing information we think will be of interest to
   you;
 * Conducting research and analysis, including focus groups and surveys about
   current services or of potential new products and services;
 * Preventing and addressing fraud, breach of policies or terms, and threats or
   harm; and
 * Sending you advertisements and communicating with you regarding services,
   products, and events we think may interest you

 

Your Personal Information and How We May Share it

 

Information Shared With Our Service Providers

We may disclose your information to other companies to ensure the smooth
provision of products and services that you have purchased or requested from us.
If you have made a purchase or request with us your data will be principally
used to provide you with your purchase or request as well as your registration
or other services and facilities. This includes third-party service providers
that assist us with processing credit card payments, webinar platforms that host
our online events or customer relationship management applications where we
house your information. These service providers are prohibited from using your
personal information for any other purpose(s) than to provide the services we
have contracted them to perform.

 

Information Shared Within Our Group

Your details may also be shared within the brands in our parent company, LabX
Media Group. Please click here for a list of LabX Media Group websites. These
companies may use your details to send you information about products,
promotions and special offers that we think may interest you, and also to
complete your personal profile across each of our brands.

 

Information Shared With Third-Party Advertisers and Sponsors

Your personal information is also used in our dealings with the third-parties
with whom we work. The co-operation of the companies that supply us with content
and services and the revenue derived from advertising and sponsorship allow us
to keep access to our sites free of charge. To provide incentives for these
third-parties to continue working with us, DDN does share some information about
our visitors, as detailed below.

 

We may monitor the activity of visitors accessing the site and share data about
this activity with publishers and advertisers. If your company, job title, areas
of work, technologies used, type of business or scientific areas of interest are
a match for the types of products or services offered by a third-party company,
your personal data can be used to share product, service & event offers from a
third-party company. If you participate or engage with an offer through our
websites or emails, we may share your personal information with the associated
third-party. Our aim is to provide you with information on the latest tools and
technology that are relevant to your scientific field of study and to provide
you with information on the latest innovations in scientific research and
manufacturing. If you show interest in particular web pages or materials on our
website, we may communicate with you about sponsored content related to your
visits to help promote scientific products and services on behalf of our
third-party suppliers and vendors. Finally, we may provide your information to
our third-party advertisers and sponsors for them to contact you directly when
you have clearly engaged with content related to their products or promotions.
This information is only provided to them when we have determined that you have
shown a legitimate interest in their products or services by engaging with their
content on our website or emails.

 

You can opt-out of receiving communications from our third-party advertisers and
sponsors by going to our unsubscribe page and unchecking the box next to
"Special Offers and Promotions" for one or all of our brands. We also attempt to
contact our subscribers on a regular basis via email to give them the
opportunity to opt-out of third-party communications to ensure they are given
the choice to review their subscription preferences.

 

Your personal data is never shared with a third-party we do not consider to be
reputable and is only made available to companies who are actively supporting
free access to the content and services provided by our sites. For a list of
these third-party companies, please click here. You should note that, if they
enter an external site from a link within a DDN, they are no longer covered by
this privacy policy.

 

Your Personal Information and How You Share It

Our websites may include features, such as message boards or comment sections,
that allow you to freely submit your personal information that can be viewed by
others. We and others can store, display, reproduce, publish, distribute, or
otherwise use such information in any format, and there is no guarantee that we
will attribute the content to you. Keep in mind that if you post information on
our websites, others can access and share that information with third-parties as
well.

 

How You Can Access, Update or Limit Your Personal Information

 

Accessing and Updating Your Personal Information

We have designed our websites so that it is easy for you to access and update
the personal information that you shared with us. You can access your
subscriptions by clicking this link and entering your email address in the field
provided. After submitting your email address, we will send a message to your
inbox to confirm it is you and for you to access your subscription preferences
directly. Individual eNewsletters, email communications and third-party
communications can be immediately unsubscribed from by clicking an unsubscribe
link within them. Please note that your opt-out will not affect subsequent
subscriptions or non-promotional communications from us, such as administrative
and service announcements. If you require further assistance updating your
details please contact us.

You are also entitled to be informed about all the information DDN collects
about you. You are entitled to receive and review the information. You may also
request to have DDN change information about you that is held by us and that is
incorrect.

 

Limiting Collection of Your Personal Information

Cookies can be disabled or removed using tools available as part of most
commercial browsers. In some instances, a browser may include settings that
allow you to block cookies from being placed on your hard drive. Be aware that
if you disable or remove cookies and similar technologies, some parts of our
websites may not work properly. Also, if you revisit our websites from a
different computer or browser, you may not be able to limit browser-based
tracking technologies in the same way.

Our websites use third-party web analytics services, such as Google Analytics,
to help us analyze how visitors use our websites. To learn more about opting out
of being tracked by Google Analytics, click here.

 

How We Can Make Changes to This Policy

way other than described in this privacy policy we will notify you by way of
email or by providing 30 days notice on the website. Please note that we retain
the right to change this policy at any time. DDN continues to invest in the best
quality security available and we do our utmost to protect visitor privacy. If
you have any queries regarding this privacy policy or the way we collect and
gather information about our members, please contact us
