​The HEAG MEDICAL COMMUNITY IN GHANA Privacy Policy

Effective October 25, 2015

1. INTRODUCTION

HEAG MEDICAL COMMUNITY IN GHANA and its subsidiaries ("HMCG", "us" or "we") want you to be familiar with how we collect, use and disclose information from and about you.

This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect from all sources including in connection with our websites, mobile sites, applications ("apps"), electronic newsletters and widgets (collectively the "HEAG MEDICAL COMMUNITY IN GHANA Online Services") that link to this Privacy Policy. If there is a conflict between this Policy and a HEAG MEDICAL COMMUNITY IN GHANA Online Services corporate subscription agreement, the HEAG MEDICAL COMMUNITY IN GHANA Online Services corporate subscription agreement will take precedence.

This Policy describes HMCG's collection and use of users' Personal Information. It also describes generally HMCG's practices for handling Other Information (e.g., interests, demographics and services usage) collected through our HMCG Online Services or from a third party to the extent such information is associated with a particular device, user or user account. As described more fully below, we share information with our affiliated companies ("HMCG Affiliates") for the purposes described in this privacy policy. A list of HMCG Affiliates is available upon request.  By using the HMCG Online Services or by providing personal information to us, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.

The HMCG Online Services are a network of general audience sites, are not targeted to children, and do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 21 years of age.

3. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION 

We use the Personal Information we collect from and about you for the purposes set forth below.

If we are required to treat Other Information as Personal Information under applicable law, then we may use and disclose it for all the purposes for which we use and disclose Personal Information. We may combine Other Information with your Personal Information, and when we do, we treat the combined information as Personal Information.

To improve the quality of our products and services and to personalize your experience by presenting content, products and offers tailored to you, we may also combine the Personal and Other Information we collect with information relating to your use of other HMCG products, services and websites. In addition, we may supplement the Personal and Other Information we collect with information from other sources, such as publicly available information from social media services, commercially available sources and information from HMCG Affiliates or business partners.

Some Online Services use the information we collect in site-specific ways. For example:



  • To provide you access through HMCG.  Some enterprise users have access to HMCG, which allows you to sign into several HMCG websites with the same user ID. If you are a HMCG enterprise user who previously subscribed to one or more products in the HMCG suite, we may use Personal Information you provided to transition your account to a HMCG subscription. If you are a new HMCG enterprise subscriber, your account will be set up with a HMCG user ID.

To deliver relevant content and recommendations. To make your experience more interesting and personalized, we may use any of the Personal and Other Information we collect to assist us in delivering content on any of our HMCG Online Services.

(See Information We Collect, above, for details on the types of information we may use.) As noted above, we may work with third party online advertising companies and advertisers who help deliver these ads to you. Information about your activities on our HMCG Online Services and other non-personally identifiable information about you may be used to limit the online ads you encounter to those we believe are consistent with your interests.

Our Disclosure of Information

HMCG and its subsidiaries may share your Personal Information with one another, as well as with HMCG Affiliates for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including for each company’s marketing purposes. Please see the Introduction for more information about the companies that make up the HMCG subsidiaries and HMCG Affiliates. Users who visit HMCG Affiliates’ services should still refer to their separate privacy policies, which may differ in some respects from this Privacy Policy. HMCG is the party responsible for the management of the jointly-used Personal Information.

In addition, we may share your Personal Information with non-affiliated third parties when we believe sharing is permitted by you or authorized by this Privacy Policy. We share your Personal Information:

To manage corporate, third-party, and student subscriptions. If your subscription is provided in whole or in part by your employer or other third party, we may notify the provider when you access or use your subscription. If you have a student subscription associated with a professor or school, we may notify your professor or school to confirm your subscription, access or use. When providing these notices, we may reveal limited amounts of your Personal Information such as your name or email address.

To allow third-party service providers to assist us in providing and managing our services. We may make your Personal Information available to certain third-party service providers, such as contractors, agents or sponsors, who help us manage or provide our products and services by, for example: developing or supporting products and features; sending email messages on our behalf; processing payments; fulfilling orders; delivering subscriptions; auditing; processing data or statistics; and serving, customizing or delivering marketing or ads. These outside service providers are required to protect Personal Information entrusted to them and not use it for any other purpose than the specific service they are providing to us.

To provide co-branded services and features. We may offer co-branded services or features, such as conferences, contests, sweepstakes or other promotions together with a third party (“Co-Branded Services”). These Co-Branded Services may be hosted on the HMCG Online Services or on the third party’s service. By virtue of these relationships, we may share the information you submit in connection with the Co-Branded Service with the third party. The third party’s use of your information will be governed by the third party’s privacy policy.

To permit unaffiliated third parties to send you promotional materials.  If you subscribe to the U.S. edition of Wordpress or eKindle print publications, we may share your contact information with unaffiliated companies whose products and services may be of interest to you. While many of our subscribers appreciate receiving offerings from these companies, if you prefer that we do not share your information for this purpose, please contact Customer Service as described below in How to Access, Correct or Update Your Information. If you sign up to receive a Special Offer on the MarketWatch.com Service, HMCG will forward your request along with your email and Special Offer delivery information, to the company making the relevant Special Offer so that it can contact you directly. Once your information is provided to another company pursuant to your request it is not governed by this Privacy Policy.

If you subscribe solely to any other HMCG Online Service, we may share your Personal Information with unaffiliated third parties for such parties' own marketing purposes if you have given us permission to do so.

To allow social sharing functionality.  If you log in with or connect a social media service account with a HMCG Online Service, we may share your user name, picture, and likes, as well as your activities and comments with other HMCG Online Services users and with your friends associated with your social media service. We may also share the same information with the social media service provider. By logging in with or connecting your HMCG Online Services account and your social media service, you are authorizing us to share information we collect from and about you with the social media service provider, other users and your friends, and you understand that the social media service’s use of the shared information will be governed by the social media service’s privacy policy. If you do not want your Personal Information shared in this way, please do not connect your social media service account with your HMCG Online Services account, and do not participate in social sharing on the HMCG Online Services.

To protect the rights of HMCG and others. There may be instances when HMCG may disclose your Personal Information, including situations where we have a good faith belief that such disclosure is necessary in order to: (i) protect, enforce, or defend the legal rights, privacy, safety, or property of HMCG , our HMCG Affiliates or their employees, agents and contractors (including enforcement of our agreements and our terms of use); (ii) protect the safety, privacy, and security of users of our products and services or members of the public; (iii) protect against fraud or for risk management purposes; (iv) comply with the law or legal process, including laws outside your country of residence; or (v) to respond to requests from public and government authorities including public and government authorities outside your country of residence.

7. OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Updates to Privacy Policy. HMCG may modify this Privacy Policy. Please look at the Effective Date at the top of this Privacy Policy to see when this Privacy Policy was last revised. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will become effective when we post the revised Privacy Policy on the HMCG Online Services. Your use of the HMCG Online Services or your provision of personal information to use following these changes means that you accept the revised Privacy Policy.

Location of Data. Your Personal Information may be stored and processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage service providers, and by using our products and services, you consent to the transfer of information to countries outside of your country of residence, including the United States, which may have different data protection rules than in your country.

Data Retention. We will retain your Personal Information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or allowed by law.

Collection of Personal Financial Information by a Payment Service. In some cases, we may use an unaffiliated payment service to allow you to purchase a product or make payments (“Payment Service”). If you wish to purchase a product or make a payment in such a case, you will be directed to a Payment Service webpage. Any information that you provide to a Payment Service will be subject to the applicable Payment Service’s privacy policy, rather than this Privacy Policy. We have no control over, and are not responsible for, any Payment Service’s use of information collected through any Payment Service.

Linked Services. The HMCG Online Services may also be linked to sites operated by third parties, and may carry advertisements or offer content, functionality, games or applications developed and maintained by third parties. Some of these third party sites may be co-branded with a HMCG logo, even though they are not operated or maintained by us. For example:



  • A portion of HMCG Archive is hosted by an unrelated company - GetRespond - through its GetRespond Archiver service, and all article purchases are processed by GetRespond. GetRespond collects and uses your information in accordance with its privacy policy, and makes your information available to us. We will treat all information that GetRespond provides about you in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
  • The Portfolio feature is provided by a third party, Weebly. Weebly collects and uses your information in accordance with its privacy policy, which is separate from this one.
HMCG is not responsible for the privacy practices of any such third parties, and once you leave the HMCG Online Services or click an advertisement, you should check the applicable privacy policy of the other service.
