idos App Network Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy describes how idōs, Inc. and its affiliates (“idōs,” “we,” “us” and “our”) and our partners use cookies and other tracking technologies (referred to collectively as “Cookie Technologies”) to collect information about your use of our websites, mobile applications and other resources intended for use by healthcare professionals, which we refer to as the “idōs App Network,” including the information and services made available to users of the idōs App Network (collectively, the “Services”).

• “Cookies”      are small data files that a website places on your browser when you visit      the website. Cookies allow a website or third party to recognize your      browser. There are three primary types of cookies:
• Session      cookies are specific to a particular      visit and carry information as you view different pages within a website.      Session cookies expire and delete themselves automatically in a short      period of time, e.g., when you leave the website or when you close your      browser.
• Persistent      cookies enable us to recognize you      when you visit our website and remember your preferences. Persistent      cookies are stored on your browser or mobile device until you choose to      delete them, and otherwise typically delete themselves at expiration.
• Third-party      cookies are placed by someone other      than us, and may gather browsing activity across multiple websites and      sessions. They are usually persistent cookies and are stored until you      delete them or they expire based on the time period set in each      third-party cookie. 
• “Web      beacons” are small graphic files (sometimes called “clear GIFs” or “web      pixels”) that are embedded in images on pages of a website or in an email      and are typically used to track a user’s activity on the page or whether      an email was opened. The beacon sends back to the home server (which can      belong to the host site, a network advertiser or some other third party)      information from your browser, such as the IP address, the URL of the page      on which the beacon is located and the content viewed, the type of browser      that is accessing the site and the ID number of any cookies on your      computer previously placed by that server. 
• “Application      SDKs” are mobile application third-party software development kits that      are embedded in mobile applications. These app SDKs permit the collection      of information about the app itself, activity in the app, and the device      the application is running on.

 
Cookie Technologies used in connection with your use of the Services will generally fall within one of the following categories:

1. Necessary      functionality: These Cookie Technologies are      essential to enable you to navigate the idōs App Network properties and      access the Services in a safe and secure manner.
2. Important      functionality: These Cookie Technologies      help us authenticate registered members, remember your profession,      specialty, preferences and content interests so that we can provide an      enhanced and more personalized user experience.
3. Performance      and Analytics: These Cookie Technologies      provide data on how the Services are functioning to help us improve the      performance of the Services and the user experience. 
4. Advertising/Marketing      Services: These Cookie Technologies      enable us and our advertising partners to deliver advertisements within      the idōs App Network and on third party sites that are more relevant to      you and your interests based on your member registration information,      content browsing activity, use of the Services and in some cases, other      information about you that we or our advertisers have obtained from other      sources. Cookie Technologies may be used to limit the number of times you      see a particular advertisement and to measure of the effectiveness of an      advertising campaign.  
    

We and our partners may use Cookie Technologies to recognize individual users when they access the idōs App Network and the Services (including across devices), remember user preferences, keep track of users’ access to and use of the Services, track whether our emails opened and whether links are clicked, ensure that the Services are functioning properly, analyze trends and to personalize the Services, including advertising within the idōs App Network and on third party websites, so that they are relevant to individual user’s interests which may be inferred based on profession, specialty, location, prior activity within the idōs App Network, use of the Services and also other information that we or our partners may have about our users. 

When you use the Services, we and our partners may collect information about your device including the IP address (which provides non-precise information, e.g., city or zip code level, about the approximate physical location of the device), unique device identifier (which is different than the device’s serial number), cookie information, advertising ID (which is a unique, user-resettable identification number for advertising associated with a mobile device), browser information (including referring URL), operating system, mobile carrier, device settings and App version and usage information, all of which we may associate with information about your use of the Services. When enabled by you, we collect precise location information provided by your mobile device, which you may disable through the device settings. If you are a member of the idōs App Network, we may elect to associate the information collected by Cookie Technologies with your registration information and other information collected about you as described in the idōs App Privacy Policy.
 

We may personalize the Services, including the advertising you see within the idōs App Network, on third party websites and in our email communications, based on your registration information, information collected about your use of the Services and information we receive from third party sources. For example, a user who idōs, Inc. believes is a cardiologist or who has browsed cardiology content with the idōs App Network may be served an advertisement promoting a particular cardiac product within the idōs App Network, on third party websites and/or within an email that a user who idōs, Inc. believes is a neurologist or has not browsed cardiology content will not see. We partner with third parties to manage and conduct our advertising activities including advertising on third party websites. These third parties may use Cookie Technologies to deliver this advertising based on your activities and interests as inferred from your use of the Services and other information they have about you. Two of the third parties that idōs, Inc. works with are Google and Facebook. In addition to using the information it collects performing services for idōs, Inc., Google may also use such information as described in its privacy policy. To see how Google may use information collected through our use of the Google services on the idōs App Network visit https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners. While Facebook does not provide any personal information to idōs, Inc., Facebook may use information that it has about you and that it collects performing services for idōs, Inc. (which may be associated with personal information that Facebook has about you) as described in its privacy policy available at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy. Also, advertisers may use their own Cookie Technologies in the advertisements served to you through the Services.

Most browser software can be set to reject all cookies, including third party cookies, however, if you choose to reject our cookies, your ability to access and use the Services will be limited. Typically the cookie settings are within the “options” or “preferences” menu in your browser. The links below provide information about cookie settings for some commonly used browsers:

• Internet Explorer
• Chrome
• Safari
• Firefox

You can opt-out of interest-based advertising on the Sites by rejecting cookies and through preferences manager or, if you are located in the European Union (EU), you may also opt-out here. Please note that even if you reject cookies and opt-out of interest-based advertising, you will continue to receive generic advertisements through the Services. Note that the Sites do not respond to web browser “do not track” signals. You can learn more about managing your preferences for ads online, particularly for many third-party advertising networks, through resources made available by the Digital Advertising Alliance at https://www.aboutads.info/ or the Network Advertising Initiative at https://optout.networkadvertising.org.

You may control interest-based advertising on your mobile device by enabling the “Limit Ad Tracking” setting in your iOS device’s settings or “Opt out of Ads Personalization” in your Android device’s settings. This will not prevent you from seeing advertisements, but will limit the use of device advertising identifiers to personalize ads based on your interests. You also may disable the transmission of precise location information through your device settings.
