What information does Integrated Media Solutions collect and how is it used?

Our sites collect information volunteered by you in several areas, including newsletter sign up pages, site registrations, and web site surveys, and request for product information. The information we request for you to participate in these features may include personally identifiable information such as name, address, telephone and fax numbers, and email address, as well as “demographic” information such as your hobbies or personal preferences. We will tell you at the time we collect information whether the information requested is necessary for you to participate in a particular feature.

The information we collect is used to respond to your specific requests, to send you periodic information and special offers from Integrated Media Solutions and our sponsors, to provide you with updates on Integrated Media Solutions offerings and features, to provide you with product information from manufacturers in our database, to provide notice of changes to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, and to provide our sponsors with aggregate data about our users. The information you provide is also used to understand users’ interests and behavior, and may be combined with information Integrated Media Solutions may have from other online or offline sources.

Integrated Media Solutions uses cookies to identify registered web site users and to automatically give them access to “member only” content areas such as articles and reports, and to provide them with access to previously-stored information. Integrated Media Solutions also uses cookies to estimate our audience size and usage patterns and to track the aggregate number of customer returns at our web site. Finally, Integrated Media Solutions uses cookies to help simplify the process of filling out certain forms on our web sites that allow you to request information from manufactures in our catalog and/or our advertisers. You can choose whether or not you accept cookies by changing the settings of your browser. However, certain parts of our web sites may not work if you turn off cookies on your browser.

With whom does Integrated Media Solutions share your information?

Integrated Media Solutions shares your information with its affiliates and business partners, including agents such as third party mail processing facilities. We may employ contractors to help with our operations. Some or all of these contractors may access the databases of user information. These contractors are and will be subject to confidentiality agreements that restrict their use and disclosure of all information they obtain through their relationship with Integrated Media Solutions.  When sharing your information with these third parties, Integrated Media Solutions requires that the third parties follow practices substantially similar to those of Integrated Media Solutions, and that your information not be further shared with any other third parties. Integrated Media Solutions will also share your information if required by law to do so, to comply with applicable laws or valid legal process, or to protect the rights or property of Integrated Media Solutions. Integrated Media Solutions also uses a thirdy party to collect information across it’s sites through the use of cookies and web beacons.

Additionally, if part or some of our assets are purchased by a third party, Integrated Media Solutions will share your information with the purchaser of all or part of our assets.

If you use our “tell a friend” service to email one of our articles, reports or product descriptions to a friend or colleague, Integrated Media Solutions will automatically send this person a one-time email, attaching to the email the content you wished for your friend to receive. Your email address will appear on the “From” line of this email, thereby disclosing this information to whoever opens and reads the email. The email address of you or your friend or colleague will not be stored in our databases based on this service.

Integrated Media Solutions may provide users with the opportunity to request additional information from product manufacturers in our online directory or from our advertisers. If you specifically request information from a manufacturer or from one of our advertisers, your contact information will be given to that manufacturer or advertiser, to allow them to decide the best way to fulfill your request.

If you no longer wish for us to share your mailing address or other contact information with our sponsors or other third parties in whose products or services we believe you may be interested, please send us an email at dthalor@dentalproductshopper.com. For us to be able to locate your record, your email must include your name, mailing address, email address, and must identify the Integrated Media Solutions product, event, or service for which you are registered. Your request will be processed within 10 days, and we will no longer share your contact information with third parties. Please note that we will not be able to stop third parties from sending you information about their products or services if your information was shared with them before we received your request.

Regarding email specifically, you have the opportunity to elect to stop receiving advertising messages from Integrated Media Solutions about our products or services each time you receive such a communication from us.
