PRIVACY STATEMENT
The Institute of Medical Business Advisors, Inc. the CERTIFIED MEDICAL PLANNER™ online educational program, and its iMBA Virtual University has a firm commitment to protect your privacy. This Privacy Statement discloses our policies regarding the information we obtain from you and how we limit and protect the uses to which that information is put. We are committed to building the trust and confidence of our medical, business, accounting, IT, legal and financial advisory colleagues and users by promoting the principles of disclosure and informed consent.
Accordingly, we wish to notify you about: What information is collected from you through the iMBA, Inc. or CERTIFIED MEDICAL PLANNER™ website. How that information may be used, including with whom it may be shared. Choices you have about collection, use and distribution of your information. How you can access, update or delete your information. Security precautions regarding loss, misuse or alteration of your information.
These policies apply only to the site, which consists solely of those web pages we control. You should determine what privacy policies apply to other web sites before providing information to them. If you have questions or concerns regarding these policies, or any other aspect of the site or your use of it, please contact us by e-mail.
What Information is Collected and How We Collect It Through your use of the Site. We may obtain various types of contact and user information from you, such as your IP (or Internet) address, practice, hospital, clinic and user names, email addresses, account, demographic and profile information such as zip code, age, medical specialty and income level. We also collect and store statistics and other information about the online activities of our visitors on an aggregated basis. For example, we may track the number of people who view each page. We obtain information several ways. Some is required as part of the system use process. Additional, information is gathered through “cookies”, which deposit special codes on your computer. And, we may conduct online surveys in which you provide additional personal information. As noted below, there are ways you can limit some of the information we obtain, or the ways we use that information.
We generally use your information only to operate the site and make your experience more efficient, effective and enjoyable. As a general practice, we do not distribute or otherwise give away your personally identifiable information to any other party, except in limited circumstances such as compliance with law, to affiliated advisors, or with your permission, as noted below. Thus, we would not give your name, email address or other personal information to mass marketers. Most uses of your information are for site administration, such as processing questions and tracking survey replies, diagnosing problems with our server, security issues, or collecting contributions for educational information. We may also use this information to contact you for operational purposes, such as answering opinion questions, TQI or solving problems. We use demographic and profile data to tailor your experience, to content we think you might be interested in or tailoring the way the site is presented. We may also use it to provide you with information about iMBA, Inc. or to send you educational material from alliance partners.
You may opt-out from receiving promotional materials and mailings as described below. We sometimes share aggregated data with some of our independent alliance partners. However, none of this information identifies you in any way without your consent. For example, we may share data that show a certain percentage of users have a certain financial, asset management, practice enhancement or IT need, but there would be no identification of specific users. Only if you consent, will we share personal, identifiable data about you to third parties. For example, if on particular pages where we ask for personal information, you can be assured that the data we ask for may be only shared with iMBA Inc., affiliated third parties. Other examples include where we collect data through Q and A’s, polls or surveys or when you contact us for a referral or further information. In such instances, we will often tell you how we will use this data, and with whom we will share it; and if you then provide us with the requested information, we may share it as described, despite anything else in these policies to the contrary. In such instances, you will have the opportunity to avoid such use, either by not participating in the session or survey, or by opting out as described below.
Choices Regarding Collection, Use and Distribution of Information – Opting Out. We may send you emails or other information that we, or some of our advisors offer, and that we believe may be of special interest to you. Only iMBA Inc., (or our agents who are required to comply with these policies) or our affiliates and advisors, will send you these materials. If you do not wish to receive these materials, you may opt out from such information contacts. You may indicate that you do not wish to receive our emails by simply informing us, or the affiliated advisor. You also have choices concerning cookies. Your Internet browser allows you to accept all cookies, be notified when a cookie is sent or reject all cookies. However, if you reject cookies, we may not be able to customize the content we show you or otherwise learn your preferences. There may also be services that require the use of cookies. This may negatively affect your site experience. In addition, although we do not plan to advertise, we may in the future place limited educational advertising on the site that originates from outside experts or affiliated parties. In some cases, if you click on these materials, a cookie may be sent to your computer. We do not control these cookies.
Other Security Issues. Although no use of the Internet is 100% secure, the site uses security measures to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of your information under our control. We do not always use industry-standard SSL (secure socket layer) encryption, which makes it difficult but not impossible for third parties to access information on the Site. In addition, your individual advisor’s account information, if established, is password protected so only you have access to it. We recommend you not divulge your password to anyone, that you use a combination of letters and numbers in your password and that you change your password regularly.
Changes In Policies; Terms and Conditions. We may change these policies from time to time. If any such changes materially and adversely affect the use of your information, we will generally refer to such changes on the site for a period of time, although our failure to do so will not affect the applicability of such changes. Accordingly, we recommend that you check back to review these policies from time to time, particularly if you have not visited the site for some time. All copyright, trade and service marks are held by their respective owners.
