This Site provides links to other websites as a convenience to our browsers. These may include links to websites operated by government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and private businesses. When you use one of these links, you are no longer on This Site and this Privacy Notice will not apply. When you link to another website, you are subject to the privacy policy of that site. When you follow a link to one of these sites we, nor any agent of us, warrants the accuracy, reliability, or timeliness of any information published by these external sites, nor endorses any content, viewpoints, products, or services linked from these systems, and cannot be held liable for any losses caused by reliance on the accuracy, reliability, or timeliness of their information. Portions of such information may be incorrect or not current. Any person or entity that relies on any information obtained from these systems does so at his or her own risk.

Posts on This Site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These other websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

PHYSMedU does not endorse or sponsor the products, services, or information that other sites may arbitrarily or systematically connect to this sites embedded content. This includes any videos, images, or text displayed after this site’s initial embedded content has been interacted with by the end user.

A cookie is a small text file created by a web server and stored on your computer hard drive. Cookies save unique information that the web server can access while you are browsing This Site. Typically, cookies save information such as your site preferences, the date you last looked at a specific page, or a random number used to identify your particular web session. Cookies help us measure how many visitors come to our web site and how many of these visitors are new or returning. They also help us ensure that your end user experience is as good as possible.

Cookies placed on your computer by our web management tools are written so they can only be used by our web tools, and they only retrieve specific information such as your privacy consent preferences. We do not gather information about you, from other cookie files, or access any other information on your computer.

Most web browsers allow you to deny or accept the cookie feature (refer to your browser’s help function for details). You can control the use of cookies on your computer, and even eliminate them. However, eliminating cookie use may interfere with the function of some of the services on This Site.

If you browse or download information during your visit to this website, we collect and store only the standard data collected by all web server software. That information is:

1. The Internet Protocol (IP) address used for your connection (but not your email address). The IP address is a numerical identifier assigned either to your internet service provider or directly to your computer. We use the IP address to respond to your browser request. Example: 122.125.36.42
2. The domain name assigned to your IP address (if there is one). Example: somename.com
3. The type of browser and operating system used. Example: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows NT; IE4WDUS-1998101501)
4. The date and time you visited This Site
5. The web pages or services you accessed at This Site
6. The website you visited prior to coming to This Site. (Note: this is included so that summary analysis can be done on how visitors get to our site, i.e., from a search engine, from a link on another site, etc.)

We do not track individual user navigation choices. We do, however, summarize the information listed above to determine:

• What organizations are our most frequent users (item 2 above) to better target our content for the audience
• What browsers are being used on our site to determine what techniques we should use to develop pages that will work with different browsers (item 3 above).
• How often our pages are being visited (item 5 above)
• The traffic from organization names such as search engines that direct people to This Site (item 6 above)

For site security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, This Site may monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. If security monitoring reveals evidence of possible abuse or criminal activity, system personnel may provide the results of such monitoring to appropriate officials. Except for authorized law enforcement investigations, no attempts are made to identify individual users or their usage habits.

You have the right to review information collected about you by This Site. To do so, please make a request through our Contact page.

This Site uses the industry standard encryption software Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to enable secure transmission of data. The URL in your browser will change to “HTTPS” instead of “HTTP” when this security feature is invoked. Your browser may also display a lock or key symbol on its task bar to indicate invoked secure transmission. If these indicators are not present, information may be susceptible to interception by other parties. Most internet email communication is not considered secure.
