Pharsight® Privacy Statement
This privacy statement explains Pharsight Corporation’s practices with regard to personally identifiable information collected on our web site, located at http://www.pharsight.com.
Personal Information. We use the term "Personal Information" to refer to information that would allow someone to identify or contact you, including, for example, your full name, address, telephone number, or email address. Personal Information does not include aggregated information that, by itself, does not permit the identification of individual persons. For example, statistics about the use of our site (such as how many persons visited our site last month) is not Personal Information.
Site Registration Information. When you register with Pharsight for the services that we offer or request information about our products or services, we collect the Personal Information you submit in the registration form. We use such registration information to send you information or materials you have requested and for administrative purposes (such as to notify you about changes to this Privacy Statement or to contact you regarding other issues with your registration). In addition, we may retain copies of emails or other communications you have had with us. After you have registered, you may contact us to request a change to your registration information or to your preferences regarding what types of communications you would like to receive from us.
Browsing Information. When you use the Pharsight site, our servers (which are hosted by a third party service provider) may collect information indirectly and automatically (through, for example, the use of "cookies" or your "IP address") about your activities while visiting the site, including the web page that you just came from (whether that web page is on our site or not), which web page you go to next (whether that web page is on our site or not), and information about the browser you are using. We use this browsing information for internal purposes such as to help understand how the site is being used and to improve it, and for systems administration purposes.
Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your hard drive, not on our site. Cookies allow us to better understand how users use our site, which in turn helps us focus our resources on features that are most popular with our users. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but in that case, some portions of our web site may not operate properly.
An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. In some cases your IP address stays the same from browser session to browser session; but if you use a consumer internet access provider, your IP address probably varies from session to session.
Disclosure of Personal Information. Although we may disclose aggregated information about users of our site, that information does not contain Personal Information. Generally, we do not disclose Personal Information to third parties. However, we may share Personal Information with our contractors and service providers in order to maintain, enhance, or add to the functionality of our Services.
We cannot fully ensure that your private communications and other Personal Information will not be disclosed to third parties. For example, we may be legally obligated to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may circumvent our security measures to unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Additionally, in the unlikely event we need to investigate or resolve possible problems or inquiries, we can, and you authorize us to, disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we believe necessary.
Security Procedures. We have implemented and follow appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect against unauthorized access to and unlawful interception of your Personal Information. However, you should know that neither we nor any other internet site can fully eliminate these security risks.
We hope this policy clarifies our procedures regarding your Personal Information. We may amend this policy at any time by sending the amended policy to the email address you provided in your registration or by posting the amended policy on our site. We encourage you to learn as much as you can about your privacy on the Internet.
