Privacy Policy

Continuing Medical Education and Continuing Education

When you register for a Continuing Medical Education (CME) or a Continuing Education (CE) activity through one of our Web sites, we collect certain personally identifiable information from you such as your name, email address and mailing address. If you are a pharmacist and wish to receive CE credit, you are also required to provide your NAPB # and month and day of birth. For more information about NABP and CPE Monitor click here. In addition to personally identifiable information, we collect aggregated non-personally identifiable information about the activities undertaken by our users. We use the information that we collect through CME/CE activities in several ways:

• We work with several accredited companies who are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians. As a joint-provider, we are required periodically to submit aggregated data about CME participants and the CME activities we certify. We also provide personally identifiable information to other accredited CME/CE providers who certify CME/CE activities posted on our Web sites, as required by the ACCME and other accrediting bodies. These reports may include personally identifiable information about you and credits issued to you, for the purpose of maintaining records that you can request from the accredited provider for up to six (6) years;
• Commercial supporters of CME/CE activities on our Web site will receive only aggregated data about CME/CE activities that are relevant to their interests and/or the courses they support;
• Our Editorial and Customer Support Staff will have internal access to files containing personally identifiable information, including evaluation forms and aggregated CME /CE participant information. These files can be accessed in order to respond to your questions or comments. Our staff may also use personally identifiable information, including registration information and evaluation data, in assessing educational needs and planning marketing activities.

We may use the information we collect as otherwise permitted in this Privacy Policy.
