We do everything we can to protect your privacy. We never sell or rent any of our information to anyone else. We use cookies, but no personal information is kept in cookies (and they are encrypted).
VBSfinder.com is powered by Desert Solitaire, LLC. This Privacy Policy describes how Desert Solitaire, LLC and the industry sponsors keep any personal information that you submit safe and confidential.
As a user of this site, you have certain responsibilities. You also have the right to know how we protect your privacy and what you should expect from us.
Desert Solitaire, LLC and the industry sponsors of VBSfinder.com are committed to protecting our users' privacy. We have taken great care to create a secure and safe online environment and are dedicated to privacy and confidentiality. Desert Solitaire, LLC will not knowingly use or disclose information about our users without notifying them and obtaining their consent. We allow our users to "opt-in" to special e-mail distribution lists rather than forcing them to "opt-out" of such services. We may make small changes to this policy statement on occasion, but we will not add any new uses and disclosures without adequate advance notice.
Desert Solitaire, LLC is committed to protecting the privacy of our users and visitors to our Website. This privacy policy statement is part of that commitment. This statement may be amended from time to time as we add new features and services, as laws change, and as the Internet evolves. If we make any changes to our policy on use and disclosure of personally identifiable information, we will notify users via email 30 days prior to the implementation of any changes and will provide a notice on the site alerting users to the new version of the privacy policy. Small changes and changes that do not significantly affect individual privacy interests may be made at any time.
Desert Solitaire, LLC does not collects personally identifiable information and about users via direct user input. Desert Solitaire, LLC also uses Web logs and cookies.
Registration is not required for use of VBSfinder.com. Anyone can visit the website, read our content, and fill requestes. In the process of filling out this request, users are asked to provide non-identifiable information, such as disease ZIP code, city, state, or address.
As a service to our users, Desert Solitaire, LLC allows registered users to create their own user profiles. Here, users may store specific information that makes using the website easier. Desert Solitaire, LLC is committed to maintaining the privacy, confidentiality, and security of this information at all times.
Desert Solitaire, LLC wants you to know that if you disclose a privileged communication to us through our Website, it is possible that the information will lose its privileged status. If you are engaged in litigation, you may want to consult with your lawyer first. Desert Solitaire, LLC cannot advise users whether information may be privileged. Users with such concerns should contact an attorney for advice about legal privileges and its disclosure.
Desert Solitaire, LLC uses standard Web logs that record basic data about people who visit VBSfinder.com. The following information is contained in these logs:
We do not normally seek to identify individuals from Web logs. However, Web logs may be used to identify an individual who we suspect tried to damage our Website or use it in an unauthorized way. If we have reason to believe that there has been a violation of computer security or related laws, we may share our Web logs with law enforcement agencies.
We use Web logs as a way of conducting our own basic market research and to study how our site is being used. We will periodically analyze the Web logs and use what we learn to make improvements or refinements to our Website. In addition, we may share our Web logs (which do not contain any individually identifiable information) with our partners to assist them in better designing their Websites or clinical trials.
Cookies are packets of information that a Website transfers to a user's computer for record-keeping purposes. They are a means of keeping track of a user's preferences during a visit to a Website. For example, VBSfinder.com users who search for events expect the application to "remember" their criteria from search to search so that this information does not have to be entered freshly for each search. In order to provide persistence of such search criteria, VBSfinder.com stores a unique identifier in a temporary, encrypted cookie. Then, when a new search is started, the identifier can be extracted from the cookie and used to request detailed search information for that user from our database.
All cookies received from VBSfinder.com, or from any site owned by Desert Solitaire, LLC are encrypted for security purposes. These encrypted cookies may appear as random or scrambled text.
These identifiers are stored in a "temporary" encrypted cookie that only exists during the browser's session with the site. Thus all personally identifiable information that a user enters on our site is stored in the secure VBSfinder.com database as outlined above, and not in a permanent cookie.
VBSfinder.com may also stores certain non-user-identifying data in "permanent" encrypted cookies. These values expire 24 hours after the last use of the VBSfinder.com site. They keep track of the user's current preferences regarding editorial content, as well as branding details for components of the site that are incorporated into the websites of Desert Solitaire, LLC's partners.
In addition, visitors clicking through to VBSfinder.com from either Google or Yahoo! Search engine sponsored Ads will have a cookie placed on their computer for 30 days. This allows Google and Yahoo!, along with Desert Solitaire, LLC, to measure the effectiveness of their search engine advertising.
No cookies are used to track an identifiable individual's movement through the site or on the Internet. They are only used to enhance the usability of the site.
If you do not want the information described above to be collected via cookies, you can turn off cookies in your browser.
Data about users of the VBSfinder.com will never be used or disclosed for any purpose not described in this Privacy Policy. If these uses change at any time from what is described here in this privacy policy, Desert Solitaire, LLC will notify users via email and obtain their consent, if required. Desert Solitaire, LLC will only use and disclose data obtained from users in the following ways:
Users who opt-in to email notification services will receive one email for each condition that they expressed an interest in.
It is possible that we could be forced to disclose personally identifiable user information in response to a search warrant, subpoena, or court order. This is a possibility that could confront any record keeper. Disclosures may also be appropriate to protect our legal rights, to protect the security or integrity of our Website, to take precautions against liability, or during emergencies if physical safety is believed to be at risk. These types of disclosures are unlikely, but they are possible and so we describe them here.
Desert Solitaire, LLC and the sponsors of VBSfinder.com may use aggregate data, derived from our Web logs to study how our site is being used. We will periodically analyze this aggregate data and use what we learn to make improvements or refinements to our website. In addition, we may share this aggregate data (which does not contain any uniquely identifying information) with our partners to assist them in better designing their websites.
If we make any changes to the use and disclosure of personally identifiable information, we will notify users via email 30 days prior to the implementation of any changes. Users will be asked to opt-in to any such changes by responding to the email notification. No data will be used or disclosed in any way from that originally agreed to in the initial opt-in until Desert Solitaire, LLC receives a response from the user. In addition, a new version of the privacy policy will be posted on the site, along with a notice alerting users to the new version.
Users who do not register for email notification services and do not opt-in to be referred for a particular trial will automatically have their personally identifiable information deleted from our systems.
Users who register for email notification services will have personal information, including email address, stored in our systems.
Users may also correct or delete their personal information by emailing Desert Solitaire, LLC at Desert Solitaire Webmaster.
Users who subscribe to Desert Solitaire, LLC email notification services may cancel their subscription by going to the My Account section of the Website and clicking on "edit preferences." In addition users wishing to cancel their subscriptions may click on the unsubscribe link located at the bottom of every email from VBSfinder.com.
All inactive, personally identifiable user information is deleted from the database after five years. An inactive user is defined as someone who visited the website, but did not return to update their user profile for a period of three years.
Like all responsible Websites, Desert Solitaire, LLC maintains backup files as a protection against natural disasters, equipment failures, or other disruptions. Backup files protect you and us because they lessen the risk of loss of valuable data. Removing a record from our principal files does not remove that record from any of the backup systems. It may take up to six months before all information in a backup record is completely erased through the normal recycling of backup files. In the meantime, as long as backup records exist, they receive the same privacy and security protections as our other records.
Storing our data in a secure manner is essential to our business and for your protection as a user. Maintaining a secure system is in the best interests of our users and our partners. Desert Solitaire, LLC stores personally identifiable data using industry standard physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to secure data against foreseeable risks such as unauthorized use, access, disclosure, destruction, and modification. Desert Solitaire, LLC provides users with default encryption during the transmission of their personally identifiable information regardless of the user's browser type. Our servers are physically located in a sophisticated facility that provides emergency back-up electrical power generators, fire suppression systems, and guard protection 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
