Privacy Policy
The short version
- We collect what you type into our contact form, plus basic website traffic data.
- We use it to reply to you and to run the website. We do not sell it or use it for advertising.
- We do not use cookies or cross-site tracking.
- You can ask us to show, correct or delete your information at any time.
1. Who we are
Integrated Medication Safety Experts, PLLC ("IMSE", "we", "us") provides medication safety consulting to healthcare organizations. This policy explains how we handle personal information collected through integratedmedsafety.com (the "site"). It does not cover information we receive from clients under a consulting agreement. That information is governed by the agreement, including any Business Associate Agreement.
2. Information we collect
Information you give us
When you use our contact form, we collect:
- Your name, job title and work email address
- Your organization's name and type
- Anything you write in your message
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our host records basic technical data when you visit. This includes your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, the website that referred you, and the date and time of your visit. We use this data in aggregate to understand site traffic. We do not use it to identify you.
Health information
This site is not intended to collect protected health information. Please do not include patient names or other patient-identifying details in the contact form. If we receive such information through the site, we will delete it.
3. How we use your information
- To respond to your inquiry and schedule a conversation
- To discuss, propose and provide our consulting services
- To operate, secure and maintain the site, including filtering spam
- To understand overall site traffic
- To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights
We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling.
4. Who we share it with
We share personal information only with service providers that help us run the site and our business. They may use it only to provide services to us.
- Website hosting provider: hosts the site, receives contact form submissions and provides site analytics.
- Web font provider: delivers the fonts used on this site. Your browser requests them directly from this provider, which receives your IP address and browser information.
- Email provider: receives notifications of form submissions so we can reply.
We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect the rights or safety of IMSE or others, or as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of our business.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising, and we have not done so in the past 12 months.
5. Cookies, tracking and Do Not Track
The site does not set cookies. It does not use advertising trackers, tracking pixels, or tools that follow you across other websites. Our analytics come from our host's server records, not from tracking code in your browser.
Because we do not track you across sites or sell or share your information, there is nothing to opt out of. We still treat a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal from your browser as a valid request to opt out of any sale or sharing.
6. How long we keep it
We keep contact form submissions only as long as needed to respond to you and maintain ordinary business records. If you become a client, related correspondence is kept under our client record-keeping practices. Aggregate traffic data does not identify you. Our hosting provider keeps its own server records under its own policies.
7. How we protect it
The site is served only over encrypted HTTPS connections. Access to form submissions is limited to IMSE. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the information we hold.
8. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, state privacy laws may give you specific rights. We extend the following rights to all U.S. visitors, whether or not a particular law applies:
- Know and access: ask what personal information we hold about you and get a copy
- Correct: ask us to fix inaccurate information
- Delete: ask us to delete your information
- Opt out: of any sale, sharing or targeted advertising. We do none of these.
- Non-discrimination: we will not treat you differently for using these rights
How to make a request
Send us a message through the contact form and begin it with "Privacy request". Tell us which right you want to use. We will confirm we received it within 10 business days and respond within 45 days. We will ask you to confirm your identity, usually by replying from the email address you gave us. An authorized agent may submit a request for you with your written permission.
Appeals
If we decline your request, you may appeal by replying to our decision with "Appeal" in your message. We will respond within 60 days. If you are not satisfied with the outcome, you may contact your state attorney general.
9. Notice for California residents
This section provides the disclosures required by the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended (CCPA). In the past 12 months we have collected the following categories of personal information:
| Category | Examples | Source | Disclosed to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Identifiers | Name, email address, IP address | You; your browser | Service providers |
| Professional information | Job title, organization | You | Service providers |
| Internet activity | Pages viewed, browser type, referring site | Your browser | Service providers |
We use these categories for the purposes in section 3 and keep them as described in section 6. We do not collect sensitive personal information as defined by the CCPA, and we do not sell or share personal information. Under California's "Shine the Light" law, you may ask whether we disclose personal information to third parties for their direct marketing. We do not.
10. Children's privacy
The site is intended for healthcare professionals and organizations. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
11. Links to other websites
The site links to other websites, such as LinkedIn. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. If we make a material change to how we use personal information, we will note it prominently on this page.
