Welcome to www.succeedtrial.com (the "Site"), a Web site owned by ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("ARIAD," "we," "us," and "our"). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy is designed to tell you about our practices regarding collection, use, and disclosures of information you may provide us via this Site.
Please read this entire Privacy Policy before using or submitting information to this Site. Using our Site is voluntary, and by using the Site, you consent to our collection and use of your Personal and Non-Personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. This Site is governed by applicable Federal and State laws and governmental regulation in the United States. Whenever you submit information via this Site, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of such information in accordance with such laws and regulations and to our Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy only governs ARIAD's use and disclosure of information collected through this Site.
This Site is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We will not knowingly collect information from Site visitors in that age group. We encourage parents to talk to their children about their use of the Internet and the information they disclose to Web sites. If your child has submitted Personal Information and you would like to request that such information be removed, you may contact us via one of the contact methods described on the Site and we will promptly remove such information and shall not use such information or include it in our database. Users under the age of 13 and their parents or guardians are advised that any Personal Information voluntarily entered by children may be available for public access until we become aware that a user is under the age of 13 and has had a reasonable opportunity to remove the information from the site.
Like many Web sites, this Site actively collects information from its visitors both by asking you specific questions and by permitting you to communicate directly with us via e-mail, feedback forms, and other forums. Some of the information that you submit may be personally identifiable information ("Personal Information"). Personal Information includes information that can be uniquely identified with you, such as your full name, address, e-mail address, phone number, place of work, and so on. You may choose not to provide Personal Information via the Site by not using any password protected areas of the Site and not submitting Personal Information to the Site.
Some areas of this Site may require you to submit information in order to receive information from us in the future, or to be contacted by an investigator. You will be informed at each information collection point that this Privacy Policy is in effect. We do not collect any Personal Information about you when you visit the Site unless you give us that information.
You may choose not to provide Personal Information via the Site. If you choose to provide Personal Information, you understand and agree that ARIAD may use third party service providers and suppliers to facilitate the Site and the Services we provide and they may have access to Personal Information. We will take reasonable measure to protect the confidentiality of the Personal Information you submit to us and will not disclose it to parties outside of ARIAD or its affiliates without requiring such outsiders to treat such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
As you navigate through a Web site, certain information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information) using various technologies and means, such as navigational data collection. This information ("Non-Personal Information") does not identify you personally. We automatically collect information about your Internet connection, including, but not limited to:
We use this Non-Personal Information to monitor the effectiveness of the Site, to identify areas of interest, and to consider potential improvements to the Site.
The use of cookies enables us to enhance your visits to the Site. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that are transferred to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser. The help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, but this may limit your ability to use some features of the Site. Cookies enable us to recognize your browser and provide features that are tailored to your needs.
We may use information from cookies for purposes of planning and tracking, as well as assessing the technical function of the Site. We may also use cookies to track information about which pages you visit within the Site to help us gauge the effectiveness of the Site or our content.
Unless stated otherwise, we may use your information to improve the content of our Site, to customize the Site to your preferences, to communicate information to you (if you have so requested) for our marketing and research purposes, and for the other purposes specified in this Privacy Policy. If you provide Personal Information to this Site, we may combine such information with other actively collected information unless we specify otherwise at the point of collection. We will take reasonable care to prevent Personal Information from being combined with passively collected information, unless you consent otherwise.
In addition, we may buy or sell business assets or be acquired by or acquire other organizations. In such transactions, Personal Information generally is one of the transferred business assets. In addition, in the event we merge or consolidate with another institution, Personal Information may be transferred to the successor entity to the extent allowed by applicable law. We may also disclose Personal Information to other affiliated institutions and/or if we are required to do so by law.
We will take reasonable steps to protect your Personal Information as you transmit it from your computer to our site and to protect it from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our registration pages of our Site use Secure Socket Layer ("SSL") technology, the current standard for secure transactions over the Internet. You should be aware that no internet transmission is ever fully secure or error-free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from this Site may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail. Moreover, where you use passwords, ID numbers, or other special access features on this Site, it is your responsibility to safeguard them from disclosure or misuse.
WE DO NOT INSURE OR WARRANT THE SECURITY OF INFORMATION YOU TRANSMIT, AND YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.
This site contains links or references to other Web sites. Please be aware that we do not control other Web sites and that this Privacy Policy does not apply to those Web sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every Web site you visit.
