3. CHILDREN’S INFORMATION

For purposes of this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use, the term “child” means a person who has not yet achieved the chronological age of eighteen (18). We also use the term “under age” to refer to a person who is a child; we use the term adult or of “legal age” to refer to a person who is at least eighteen (18) years old. Except as described below in this Section 3:

  • The Solutions are not intended or designed for children;

  • If we obtain actual knowledge that we have collected personal information from an underage person through the Solutions, we will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to delete this information from our data base or render it inaccessible or irretrievable by ordinary data access and retrieval methodologies.

The only exception to the foregoing statements is in the context of clinical trials intended to enroll children as patients. In these instances, the written informed consent instruments prepared by the companies or organizations sponsoring the clinical trials and signed by the patients or their legal guardians, as applicable, describe the information (which would include information about the children enrolled as patients in the clinical trials) collected by the Solutions. See Section 5.1 of this Privacy Policy below for further discussion about information the Solutions may collect from participants in clinical trials.

4. HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We use the information we collect, for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. First and foremost, we use the information we collect to provide, maintain, and improve our Solutions, to expand our Solutions offerings.

5. HOW WE MAY SHARE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We won't disclose information we collect about you to anyone outside of iTakeControl, except in the following circumstances:

5.1 Clinical Trials

Certain of our Solutions are designed to be used by the companies that sponsor clinical trials (“Sponsors”) and the individual patients and volunteers that participate in the clinical trials (the “Participants”). The Sponsors are responsible for creating protocols that dictate the management and administration and all other elements of their clinical trials. Among other things, these elements include provisions specifying the Participant information to be collected in the trials. The protocols also describe how Participant information is to be collected, stored, transmitted, processed, evaluated, and reported. Our Solutions will be involved in certain of these functions (e.g., collection, storage, transmission, etc.), as described in the protocols. The Sponsors are also responsible for preparing informed consent documents that, among other things, describe the clinical trial protocols, including, but not limited to, the provisions related to Participant information. Sponsors prepare a unique, customized informed consent document for each clinical trial. Participants in a clinical trial must review, understand, and sign the specific informed consent documents related to that clinical trial as a condition to participating in the trial.

Generally, we will endeavor to avoid collecting personally identifiable information, including personal health information, through the Solutions that are deployed in connection with clinical trials. One means for accomplishing this is to collect, store, and transmit data in a coded fashion that does not identify by names or other ordinarily identifiable characteristics the persons to which the information corresponds. However, we do not control the clinical trial protocols, and it is possible that in certain clinical trials the Solutions will be used to collect personally identifiable information, including personal health information, of Participants. If that is the case, then the type of information we collect, how we use it, and the parties with which we share it will be dictated by the clinical trial protocols and described in the corresponding informed consent documents.

By signing the informed consent related to a clinical trial, by assenting to be a Participant in a clinical trial, and/or by using any Solution in connection with that clinical trial, you agree that we are permitted to collect, use, and share your information, as described in the informed consent document related to that clinical trial and you further agree that we have no, and shall have no, responsibility or liability to you or anyone claiming through you for any Sponsor’s act or omission (whether deliberate, reckless, or negligent) with respect to your information collected through any Solution, even if that Sponsor’s act or omission is or was not consistent with the corresponding informed consent document. We are not a “covered entity” within the meaning of the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended ( “HIPAA”). Consequently, the privacy requirements of HIPAA do not apply to the Solutions. Please refer to Section 11 of our Terms of Use.

5.2 Service Providers

We disclose information to third-party service providers that we engage to provide us and you with various services ( "Contractors"). Examples of Contractors include data analysis firms, companies that help fulfill your orders, website hosting providers, fraud detection and identity verification services, customer service, e-mail and SMS vendors, auditing firms and other providers. Contractors also include any co-promotion partners with which we jointly develop or market products or services. Some Contractors may collect information on our behalf or through your use of the Website.

5.3 Affiliates

We may share information we collect about you with legal entities affiliated with us for purposes and uses that are consistent with this Privacy Policy.

5.4 Corporate Transactions

We may disclose information we collect about you to third parties as part of a corporate business transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, joint venture, or financing or sale of some or all of our assets, including in the context of bankruptcy proceedings.

5.5 In Compliance with Law

In addition, we may disclose your information we collect about you as we deem necessary or appropriate: (1) comply with applicable law; (2) respond to requests from governmental authorities, including those outside your country of residence; (3) comply with subpoenas and other legal processes; (4) pursue available remedies or limit damages we may sustain; (5) protect our operations, rights, or properties, and those of our affiliates; and (6) enforce our Terms of Use and other applicable policies.

5.6 Aggregate or De-Identified

We may aggregate your information we collect about you with that of other individuals, or otherwise de-identify the information we collect about you, and share that aggregated or de-identified data with third parties, but only in a form in which the information can no longer be used to identify you as an individual. We have the right, without the need for any additional authorization or documentation, and without any compensation or consideration payable to any party, to use all the user information we collect in an aggregated and de-identified manner for research and other business purposes.

5.7 Consent

We may also share personal data with third parties when we have your consent to do so. By posting Public User Content (see Section 7.3 and Section 7.4 of our Terms of Use) to or through the Solutions, you will be deemed to have consented to our use and sharing of that Public User Content in accordance with the broad grant of rights to us described in Section 7.3 of our Terms of Use. It is your responsibility to use the Solutions properly and not post any information as Public User Content that you wish to remain private.

6. ACCESSING AND UPDATING YOUR INFORMATION

You may always manage, update, and correct your Registration Data (see Section 7.11.3 of our Terms of Use) by logging into your user account. Generally, other than your Registration Data, you will not be able to modify information once you have posted it to or through the Solutions.

7. COOKIES AND TRACKING TOOLS

We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies ("Tools"), including those provided by other companies, which collect and track information about you and your activities online over time and across different websites and online services. You may adjust the browser settings to disable cookies, but that may limit the functionality of the Solutions.
