Overview
CME Consultants profoundly respects and is deeply committed to protecting the privacy of our users.
We created this policy to inform you how your personal information is processed and used, and to reflect
our commitment to protecting that information. We pledge that we will use your personal information only
in ways that are compatible with this Privacy Policy. The following policies are in effect for the Web
pages owned and operated by CME Consultants
General Information Collected on All Visitors
Information on all visitors is gathered collectively for each of our web sites. Examples of such data
collected are: how many unique user sessions exist; what days exhibit the greatest traffic; what are the
most frequent locations of entrance to our sites; and what services and areas users visit the most. This
data is only used in the aggregate. We may share this information with our partners for co-branded pages,
but only in the aggregate. The purpose of this data collection is to determine how we can create a better
overall experience for our users. Those of our partners who request this data are also interested in
understanding how they can create a better experience for you.
Specific Information Collected About You
On certain occasions, such as when you sign up for a notification service, register for a webcourse, elect
to receive continuing education credit, or purchase a product, we need more specific information about you
such as: your first name, last name, title or degree, address, phone number and/or fax number, affiliated
institutions, email address, and if purchasing a product, credit card information and expiration dates.
On occasions when you request technical support, we may need further information such as: type of computer
you are using, your operating system, and the speed at which you connect to the Internet.
Whenever we request identifying information from our visitors, we will clearly indicate the purpose for the
request. We use this information to process your requests, register you for programs, fulfill product orders,
make you aware of additional products and services, which may be of interest, or to contact you regarding
site changes. We will not send you email that you have not agreed to receive.
How Information About You is Collected
When a visitor requests a page from within the CME Consultants network, our Web servers automatically
recognize the visitor's domain name and IP (Internet Protocol) address. The domain name and IP address reveal
no personal information about the visitor. This information is used only in aggregate form, as described above,
and our Web servers do not record email addresses of our visitors.
When you register for a webcourse or program at one of our sites, a "cookie" is sent to your computer.
Cookies are small pieces of data that are sent to your browser from our Web server, and are stored on your
computer's hard drive. Cookies do not harm your computer; they are used to identify which pages you have visited
so that on your next visit, those pages will be readily available to you. For example, if you complete a registration
process for a particular webcourse, the next time you access the program you will not have to go through the
registration process again. Cookie collection is performed so that you will have a more streamlined web experience.
You can, however, choose not to accept cookies by changing your browser settings. You can direct your browser to
refuse all cookies, alert you when a cookie is being sent, or accept all cookies. If you choose not to accept cookies,
some of the features we offer may not work as intended.
Protecting Your Information During a Purchase
When you purchase products or services, we need to collect more detailed information about you, as described above.
Credit card information is submitted via industry standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encrypted servers. SSL codes the
information transferred between you and the Secure Server, so that it is unreadable to unauthorized parties who may try
to intervene in the purchasing process.
CME Consultants does not place your credit card information in our databases. All such purchase information is
received and kept by Regions Bank of Montgomery, Alabama, who is responsible for encrypting, processing, and storing purchase order
information.
Feedback, Contact and Program Surveys
We have areas on our sites where you can submit feedback on a program by filling out a program evaluation survey.
We also have areas where you can offer comments through a contact page. Any feedback submitted becomes the property of
CME Consultants and/or the partner listed if the site is co-branded. We may use this evaluation data for marketing
purposes or to contact you for further feedback on the site or program commented upon.
Information Disclosure
CME Consultants will not disclose personal information about your visits to our sites to except in cases where
such information is either necessary for you to receive educational credit from an accrediting or certifying agency, or
the law requires such disclosure in order to:
- comply with a legal process served on CME Consultants;
- protect and defend the rights or property of the CME Consultants network of sites or visitors to CME
Consultants, Inc.;
- identify those who may be violating the law, the terms of use, or the rights of third parties;
- cooperate with investigations of alleged unlawful activities.
On-line Privacy in General
If you input information on a registration page on a co-branded or partnered site, please be aware that such information
becomes the property of CME Consultants and the partner agency, and CME Consultants is not responsible for
the information that the partner agency receives. Further, many of our sites contain links to other Web sites and CME
Consultants, Inc. is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such websites.
Please be aware that whenever you disclose personal information over the Internet, that that information is accessible
to the public and can be collected and used. As a result, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties who
accessed your information.
You are ultimately responsible for maintaining your privacy while on-line.
Consent
By accessing our Web sites, you consent to data collection and use as specified in this policy. If we decide to change
our privacy policy for CME Consultants, we will post those changes here so you will always know what information
we gather, how we might use that information, and whether we will disclose it to anyone. If you have questions or
concerns about CME Consultants's privacy policy, please feel free to email us at info@cmeconsultantsinc.com.
