Privacy Statement
The following privacy policy (“Privacy Statement”) is posted by
GLOBAL MARKETING RESOURCES, INC.
(“GMRI”), as the owner and operator of
Family-Practice.biz. GMRI is commited to providing excellent service to its customers, while respecting their concerns about privacy and security. This statement contains general and technical details about the steps we take to protect you and your information.
1. Information Collection:
GMRI is the sole owner of the information collected on
Family Practice. GMRI collects information at different points as you access the website.
During registration, a user must first complete the registration
form and provide basic contact information such as name and
email address. We use this information to contact the user about services on our website for which he/she has expressed interest.
When a user places an order to enlist the services of GMRI for recruitment of a physician, the user must provide contact and financial information such as credit card number, expiration date, and user’s mailing address.
2. Information Use:
GMRI websites may only be used for lawful purposes by individuals seeking employment and career information, and employers seeking employees.
Profile
We store information that we collect through cookies, log files, clear gifs, and/or third parties to create a profile of our users. A profile is stored information
we record for individual users that details their viewing preferences.
This information is tied to the user’s personally identifiable
preferences to aid in providing
targeted offers and help improve
the content of the site. This profile is used to tailor a user’s visit to our
site and access relevant information.
Email address lists are not sold to any third party.
Cookies
There are two types of cookies, "Persistent" and "Session
ID." A persistent cookie,
used to recognize repeat
visitors, is a very small text file placed on your hard drive by a web server. It is essentially your identification
card and cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses. It is uniquely yours and can only be read by the server that gave it to you.
Persistent cookies are set to expire in 60 days and may change at any time without prior notice.
Session ID cookies provide your
browser the information needed
to correctly format a web page
and move data between pages. If
you choose to reject these
cookies, you may still browse
the website, but the database
functions and formatting may not
operate correctly. Once the
browser is closed, the cookies simply
terminate. Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions.
Deleting Cookies
Log Files
Like most standard website servers, we
utilize log files. These files
record information such as Internet protocol (IP) addresses, Internet browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and the number of
clicks a user initiates.
Log files help us analyze trends, administer the website, track user’s movement
throughout the website, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. We
employ a tracking utility called
LiveStats® that analyzes log files to
determine user movement.
Communication from the
Website
We send new users a welcome email to verify
their password and username.
Each time a candidate responds
to an employer's advertised
opportunity, that employer is
sent a notification via email.
Employers also receive weekly updates
when new physician CVs are posted in the specialty
in which their job openings are
listed. Out of respect for the privacy of our users, we present the option to not receive these types of communication. On rare occasions, it is necessary to send
an announcement that is strictly service related. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance, we
may send users an
email. Generally, users may not opt-out of these
communications. However, they are not promotional in nature.
Sharing
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding,
court order, or legal process served on our website.
Links
This website may contain links to other websites. Please be aware that GMRI is not responsible for the privacy practices of
other websites. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this website.
3. Security:
We take every precaution to protect users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, their information is protected both online and
offline. When our registration/order process asks users to provide sensitive information (i.e., credit card number and/or social security number), that information is encrypted and protected with encryption software –
Verisign® &
nCipher™. While on a secure
page such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of web browsers such as Netscape® Navigator and Microsoft® Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to unlocked, or open, when users are just “surfing.”
While we use Verisign® &
nCipher™
encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user information
offline. ALL user information, not
just that of a sensitive nature, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job function or task (for example, our accounting department or a customer service representative), are granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are
located in a secure environment.
If users have any questions regarding the security of our website, an
email should be directed to
webmaster@family-practice.biz.
4. Correcting / Updating / Deleting / Deactivating Personal Information:
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes, or if a user no longer desires our services, we provide a way for you to correct, update, delete, and/or deactivate
your information online. In the event you experience difficulty, an
email should be directed to
respond@family-practice.biz.
5. Notification of Changes:
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post these changes to this Privacy Statement either on the homepage, and/or any other conspicuous place within the website that we deem appropriate.
We strive to keep users aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we would or would not disclose it.
If however, we are going to use users’ personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection, we will notify users both via
email and by posting a notice on our website for 30 days. In the event that a user has opted out of all communication with the website, or deleted/deactivated the account prior to the change, there will be no communication, nor will their information be used in this new manner.
