For site management and statistical purposes, we collect
information through standard web logs. These web logs may include
(but are not limited to) the domain name or IP address from which
you connect to our site, the date and time you access the site,
search terms, and the pages visited. We make periodic checks
of the types of browsers/operating systems used and of the pages
from which you direct-link to our site. We regularly delete raw
data logs from the system. We create summary statistics from
the Web logs in order to measure the number of visitors to the
various sections of our site and to help make the site more useful,
and to improve performance.

- Domain Name
The Call4Abstracts™ and Call4Posters® do
recognize the domain name from which you contact us, and
we maintain aggregate information (not personally identifiable
information) on the pages that visitors access.
Top
- Cookies
A "cookie" is information stored on your computer
by a web server and used to customize your web service in
some way. Cookies are used on some of our submission, grader,
webcast, and search programs in order to keep track of your
submission, ratings, or bookmarks. They may also be used
for selected registration forms to make your return visits
to our site a more customized experience.
Top
- Registration and Order Forms
Visitors need not register in order to visit our company
web site and access information about the company. Some
specific pages may require registration. Except as presented
under Use of Information below, user-specific information
volunteered by you when requesting information and product
demonstrations is archived for marketing and sales internal
use only.
Should you provide us with contact information in response
to survey questions, you will receive mailings or telephone
calls only in response to your specific inquiry, or, if applicable,
in the event that you have been selected to receive a prize.
Web site surveys are used to schedule improvements, corrections
or additions to the corporate site. Responses to product-related
surveys are used to improve our products and services.
Some of our sites may use an order form that allows you to
pay for products and/or services using a credit card. Information
collected from visitors who pay for a product or service
is primarily used for authentication and billing purposes.
You may also opt-in to receive notifications about changes
to the site, new Marathon Multimedia products and services,
and special Marathon Multimedia offers we think you may find
valuable.

General information gathered through the Marathon Multimedia
Web site is used by Marathon Multimedia for internal purposes
only to improve the content of our web pages and your navigation
through our site. This data is not shared with organizations
that are not affiliated with us. Marathon Multimedia may share
registration data with our parent company and affiliates that
are committed to serving your needs. To the extent that these
entities are given access to your information, they will treat
it at least as protectively as they treat information they
obtain from their own users.
Our parent company and affiliates maintain publicly available
Privacy Policies; use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure
the security of individuals; and agree not to share, sell, or
allow access to or otherwise make available Marathon Multimedia
customer information without Marathon Multimedia's permission.
Should we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post all
changes on this page so that you are always kept aware of how
we use any information you provide to us.

You can always contact us in order to (1) delete your Personal
Information from our systems, (2) update the Personal Information
that you have provided to us, and (3) change your preferences
or unsubscribe with respect to marketing contacts or other
activities, by emailing us at WebMaster at Marathon Multimedia.
Such changes will not have any effect on other information
that Marathon Multimedia maintains.
If you have a complaint or technical problem click here to contact us and the customer service department will forward your complaint to the appropriate internal Marathon Multimedia department for a response or resolution.
We try to answer every email in a timely manner but are not always
able to do so. You should be aware that it is not technologically
possible to remove each and every record of the information you
have provided to Marathon Multimedia from our servers. The need
to back-up our systems to protect information from inadvertent
loss means that a copy of your Personal Information may exist
in a non-erasable form that will be difficult or impossible for
us to locate. Nevertheless, we promise that upon receiving your
request, all personal information stored in the databases we
actively use for research and daily business activities, and
other readily searchable media, will be deleted.
Privacy as it
applies to the Internet is a dynamic, rapidly developing area.
In the future, we may make significant changes to our privacy
policy affecting the use of the Personal Information we collect.
We will notify you by email of any significant changes concerning
our use of your Personal Information and obtain your "opt-in" consent
to any significant new uses of your personal Information if it
was collected from you prior to a significant change in this
policy. We may also make non-significant changes to our Privacy
Policy that generally will not affect our use of your Personal
Information and we generally will not notify you of these non-significant
changes. You should check this posted Privacy Policy for any
non-significant changes. If you do not agree to the terms of
this Privacy Policy or any revised policy, please exit the site
immediately.

We may also ask you to provide additional information after you
register if you want to obtain additional services or information
or to resolve complaints or concerns. Some services (e.g. submission
programs) may require that we use your contact email to remind
you of upcoming events (e.g. deadlines).
If you choose to provide us with additional information about
yourself through an e-mail message, form, survey, etc., we will
only maintain the information as long as needed to respond to
your question or to fulfill the stated purpose of the communication.
Top
We may target our advertising or marketing depending on information
we have about you. For example, a user we know is an Oncologist
may receive advertising for products or services targeted at
Oncology that a healthcare professional in a different therapeutic
area will not see (although the advertiser will not have access
to any individually identifiable information about you).
We may also personalize our web site based on your interests.
For example, you may see different articles in different places
on our web site based on information you have shared with us,
or information we have gained by observing your previous behavior,
or information we may have gained from your interactions with
a third party that shares information with us. We use information
for our own internal marketing, research, and related purposes.
Top
If we transfer a business unit (such as a subsidiary) or an asset
(such as a web site) to another company, we will require them
to honor the applicable terms of this privacy policy.
Top
We may release account and other personal information when we
believe release is required to comply with law. We may release
personal health information, including information from a medical
record, if, in our judgment after review by an attorney, the
release is compelled by law or regulation, or if the release
is necessary to prevent the death or serious injury of an individual.
