Children’s Privacy

The website is aimed at healthcare professionals, however, we strictly adhere to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and are committed to protecting the privacy of children. We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information from our records promptly. Our website and services are not designed to attract children under 13, and we actively encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s online activities and interests. In cases where we do collect personal information from children with parental consent, such information is used solely for the purpose it was collected for, and parents have the right to review and request the deletion of their child’s personal information at any time. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at [email protected] .

We confirm our commitment to the secure and lawful transfer of user data across international borders, with all personal data centralized on servers in the United States. We adhere to international data protection laws, such as the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and the Standard Contractual Clauses, ensuring a high level of data protection consistent with various international standards. Our data transfer mechanisms involve encrypted protocols for security and integrity, and we obtain explicit user consent for these transfers, making users aware of the data processing locations. Aware of the diverse legal landscapes, we align our practices with regional data protection laws and continuously monitor and adapt to legal changes. We uphold user rights, offering transparency and control over their personal data, including access, correction, and deletion options. This approach underscores our commitment to maintaining robust privacy standards globally, reflecting our dedication to data security and user trust in our international operations.

Social Media Buttons

This website uses social media plug-ins from Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, each marked with its logo. Plug-ins or scripts may also be used for the embedded video players that may track activities. No information is initially collected by social media plug-ins unless you use them.
