By using or accessing BiomedHuddle.com, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

When you visit BiomedHuddle.com you provide us with two types of information: personal information collected by us that you knowingly choose to disclose and Web site use information collected by us as you interact with our Web site.

When you register with BiomedHuddle.com, you provide us with certain personal information, such as your name and email address.

When you enter BiomedHuddle.com, we collect your browser type and IP address. This information is gathered for all BiomedHuddle.com visitors. In addition, we store certain information from your browser using “cookies.” A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the user. We use session ID cookies to confirm that users are logged in. These cookies terminate once the user closes the browser. By default, we use a persistent cookie that stores your login ID (but not your password) to make it easier for you to login when you come back to Biomed Huddle. You can remove or block this cookie using the settings in your browser if you want to disable this convenience feature.

When you use BiomedHuddle.com, you may set up your personal profile, send messages, post comments, perform searches and queries, and transmit information through various channels. We collect this information so that we can provide you the service and offer personalized features. In more cases, we retain it so that, for instance, you can return to view prior messages you have sent. When you update information, we may keep a backup copy of the prior version for a reasonable period of time to enable reversion to the prior version of that information.

You post User Content on the Site at your own risk. We cannot control the actions of other Users with whom you may choose to share your information.

We believe this benefits you by allowing us to provide personalized promotions.

We may use information about you that we collect from other sources, including but not limited to newspapers and Internet sources such as blogs, instant messaging services, and other websites to supplement your profile. Where such information is used, we allow you to specify that you do not want this to be done or to take actions that limit the connection of this information to your profile.
