Privacy Policy

USWM, LLC ("US WorldMeds") respects your privacy and values the confidence of its customers. We recognize the need to balance legitimate business interests in collecting and using information received from and about you with your reasonable expectations of privacy. This Privacy Policy describes the types of personal information that US WorldMeds may collect about you; how we use that information; how we protect it; and the choices you may make with respect to your personal information. Please review it carefully. When we refer to ourselves as "we" or "US WorldMeds" or "our", we mean USWM, LLC as well as the affiliates within our family of companies, e.g., a subsidiary and our authorized agents.

Information We Collect
The types of information we collect depends on the nature of your relationship with US WorldMeds as well as applicable laws. US WorldMeds
may collect personally identifiable information, such as names, addresses, and email addresses. We may also collect certain limited information
that you voluntarily provide regarding your health condition. We may collect this information through registrations, applications and surveys,
and because of your inquiries. For example, you may choose to provide personally identifiable and/or financial information relating to a promotion,
a patient assistance or support program, or a clinical trial. From time to time, we may use or augment the personal information we have about you
with information obtained from third parties. If you apply for employment with us through our online portal, we collect only the information needed
to complete your request. Applicant information will be processed in the same manner outlined in this Privacy Policy.

Use of Cookies
In addition, we may gather information about you automatically through your use of our website. Specifically, US WorldMeds' website may deposit certain
bits of information called "cookies" in a visitor's computer. This technology does not collect an individual visitor's identifying information. Rather, this information is in an aggregate form. The purpose of this technology and the information it provides to us helps us to improve our websites.

What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that we store on your browser or your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.), if you agree. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your device’s memory or computer’s hard drive. There are three main types of cookies:

Session cookies: specific to a particular visit and limited to sending session identifiers (random numbers generated by the server) so you don’t have to re-enter information when you navigate to a new page or check out. Session cookies are not permanently stored on your device and are deleted when the browser closes;
Persistent cookies: record information about your preferences and are stored in your browser cache or mobile device; and
First and third-party cookies: whether a cookie is ‘first’ or ‘third’ party refers to the website or domain placing the cookie. First party cookies, in basic terms, are cookies set by a website visited by the user (the website displayed in the URL window), i.e.,cookies set by websites. Third-party cookies are cookies set by a domain other than the one being visited by the user: i.e., cookies which are set by websites other than US WorldMeds’ Websites. If a user visits our website and a separate company sets a cookie through it, this would be a third-party cookie.

Purpose of cookies
Some cookies are strictly necessary for using the US WorldMeds’ Websites; others make it possible to optimize the use of our websites and personalize the contents displayed. Cookies make it possible to (1) measure and analyze the frequency and use of our websites to improve their functionality, and (2) measure safety and performance.

We use the following cookies:

Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of US WorldMeds’ Websites. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our websites, use a shopping cart or make use of e-billing services.
Functional cookies. These are used to recognize you when you return to US WorldMeds’ Websites. This enables us to personalize our content for you, greet you by name, and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
Analytical or performance cookies. These allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our websites when they are using them. This helps us to improve the way US WorldMeds’ websites, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
Marketing cookies. These cookies record your visits to our websites, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make US WorldMeds’ websites and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.

Other Information Storing Technologies

Web Beacons. Our websites may contain web beacons. Such instruments enable third parties to have immediate specific information, such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page with the beacon, the URL of the page where it appears, the time in which the page with the beacon was viewed and the type of browser used to view the page.
IP Addresses. Internet Protocol (IP) address is a specific identifier with which the electronic devices can identify and communicate with each other online. US WorldMeds may see the website visitors’ IP addresses and use this information to comprehend where our visitors come from to improve our service.
Embedded Scripts. An embedded script is a programming code that is designed to collect information about the links you click on and your interactions with US WorldMeds’ websites. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your device from our web server or a third-party service provider and is active only while you are connected to one of the US WorldMeds websites and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.
Other Means. Your browser or device may utilize local shared objects or local storage, such as flash cookies, HTML 5 cookies, and other web application software methods. These instruments may operate through all the browsers, and in certain cases, they may not be managed by your browser or may require it to be managed through your installed applications directly. We do not use these technologies for storing information to target advertising to you on or off the US WorldMeds’ websites.

How Long Will Cookies Stay on My Device?

Some of the cookies we use are deleted after termination of the browser session, i.e., after your browser window is closed (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your end device and enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies).

Implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
If applicable, and if you are an individual located in the European Economic Area (EEA), then you will be deemed the “controller” as defined under the GDPR. If you or your organization are required under the GDPR to enter into a contract, or other binding legal act under EU or Member State law with your data processors, then please contact US WorldMeds promptly to discuss with our appropriate representatives to determine if a data processing agreement is necessary and/or applicable.

If you are located in EEA, all processing of your personal data is performed in accordance with privacy rights and regulations following the GDPR, and our data processing will take place in accordance with the GDPR.

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out below, please contact us as set forth the Filing a Request section below.

You have the right to:

Request access to your personal data. This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it;
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us;
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it, or where you may have withdrawal consent for us to process it.
You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing, where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request;
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms;
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
- If you want us to establish the data’s accuracy;
- Where our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it;
- Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
- You have objected to our use of your data, but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it;
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you; and
Right to judicial review: if USWM refuses your request under rights of access, we will provide you with a reason as to why. You have the right to complain as outlined in the process below.
