SmithSolve respects the privacy of its customers, visitors to its website, and others.
SmithSolve has a legitimate interest in collecting personally identifiable data (including, but not necessarily limited to, your name, address, telephone number, and email address) when you voluntarily submit such information to us for the purposes of business inquiries, accessing website content, to register for certain events, or other purposes.
How Used
SmithSolve maintains the personal information that you voluntarily submit in an electronic database. SmithSolve may use this information as a means to contact you to obtain additional information, register your participation in a meeting or event, provide you with information that you have requested, or additional information which SmithSolve believes may be of interest to you.
Any personally identifiable data collected by SmithSolve may be used by the SmithSolve or the Rare Collective®, of which SmithSolve is a member organization, or by a third party individual or its agent, for processing, communications, logistics, and for other purposes as appropriate. Personally identifiable information will be shared on a need-to-know basis and agents of SmithSolve who have access to this information are required to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Notice. Additionally, agents will not use this information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for SmithSolve or its partner organizations.
Data Storage
SmithSolve processes and stores encrypted data on its third-party servers (WP Engine) in the United States of America (the “U.S.”) and will therefore transfer personal data within the U.S.. SmithSolve may transfer data to the encrypted servers of its member companies in order to conduct its business. This data will be encrypted both in transit and at rest. For additional information about protections offered by WP Engine, please see their Security Environment document at https://wpengine.com/support/wp-engines-security-environment/.
SmithSolve may use agents to access, collect, record, process, and use personal data as required for, and in compliance with, the purpose of each project. Agents will perform such activities exclusively upon, and in strict compliance with, SmithSolve’s written policies and the terms of appropriate consents. Upon request, we will provide you with the names and addresses of such agents.
While SmithSolve makes every reasonable effort to stay current with the latest security standards to protect the information it collects, please be aware there is always some risk involved when submitting data over the internet. Although we will put every possible effort in securing out properties we cannot always guarantee that our website and servers are 100% safe from illegal tampering or “hacking.” Any data transmitted over the internet may be at risk, however, once it is received at SmithSolve and entered into our database, any data you have submitted has the same protection that the SmithSolve extends to its own confidential information. All of our input forms asking for PII data will be protected by modern security standards.
Due to the nature of pharmaceutical market research, unless your consent is retracted and you request to have your personal data deleted, SmithSolve will keep personal data stored securely indefinitely.
