International Healthcare Media, LLC, doing business as IHM Holdings ("IHM," "we," "us," or "our"), is committed to protecting the privacy and security of personal information. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard personal information when you visit our websites (including ihmholdings.com and associated properties), use our services, attend our events, or otherwise interact with us.
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal information collected by IHM, whether online or offline. If you are a resident of a state with a comprehensive consumer privacy law, additional rights may apply to you. Please see our State-Specific Privacy Rights section and individual state addendum pages for details.
Important: By using our websites and services, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our practices, please do not use our websites or services.
We collect personal information in several categories, depending on how you interact with us:
We do not collect precise geolocation data (GPS-level) through our websites. We do not engage in geofencing around healthcare facilities for data collection or advertising purposes.
We collect personal information from the following sources:
When you register on our websites, you may be automatically enrolled in the DMD Healthcare Communications Network (the "DMD Network"), operated by DMD, an IQVIA company. Through this enrollment, your professional information (including name, NPI, email, specialty, and practice information) may be shared with DMD and made available to other members of the DMD Network. These network members may use this information to send you communications about their products and services. DMD's use of your information is governed by the DMD Privacy Policy. You may opt out of the DMD Network at any time by contacting us at dataprivacy@ihmholdings.com or by following the opt-out instructions in any DMD-related communication you receive.
We use personal information for the following business and commercial purposes:
We share personal information with the following categories of third parties, for the purposes described below:
We share information with companies that perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, email delivery, analytics, data processing, payment processing, and customer support. These service providers are contractually required to use personal information only to perform the services we have engaged them to provide.
We share personal information — including identifiers, professional information, commercial information, and internet activity data — with advertisers, sponsors, exhibitors, and marketing partners. This sharing enables these third parties to market their products and services to you directly. Under many state privacy laws, this sharing may constitute a "sale" of personal information or "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising. You have the right to opt out of this type of sharing. See our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page for details.
As described above, we share professional information with DMD, an IQVIA company, and with other members of the DMD Healthcare Communications Network. See the DMD section above for details and opt-out instructions.
When you register for or attend events, webinars, or conferences sponsored or co-sponsored by third parties, your registration information may be shared with those sponsors and exhibitors. This will be disclosed to you at the time of registration.
We share information with analytics and advertising technology companies, including through cookies, pixels, and similar tracking technologies. These partners may combine information collected from our websites with data from other sources to provide measurement services, targeted advertising, and audience analytics. This sharing may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" under certain state privacy laws.
We may disclose personal information when required by law, court order, or governmental or regulatory request, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, safety, or property, or the rights, safety, or property of others.
In connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal information may be transferred to the acquiring entity.
Certain categories of personal information are considered "sensitive" under various state privacy laws. IHM may collect or process the following categories of sensitive personal information:
Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent before collecting or processing sensitive personal information, or we will limit our use of such data to purposes that are exempt from consent requirements (such as providing the services you have requested).
IHM is a healthcare media and marketing company. We are not a covered entity or business associate under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The health-related information we process in connection with our media and marketing services is not "protected health information" under HIPAA. However, we recognize that some state privacy laws apply to health data regardless of HIPAA status, and we comply with those requirements where applicable.
Our websites use cookies, web beacons, pixels, and similar tracking technologies to collect information about your browsing activity and to provide and improve our services.
We use the following analytics services, which may collect data through cookies and similar technologies:
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, blocking cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of our websites. You may also use our cookie consent tool (where available) to manage your cookie preferences.
IHM honors Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. If your browser or device sends a GPC signal, we will treat that signal as a valid request to opt out of the sale and sharing of your personal information, as well as a request to opt out of targeted advertising, to the extent required by applicable state law.
You can enable GPC in supported browsers and browser extensions. For more information about GPC, visit globalprivacycontrol.org.
We also honor other universal opt-out mechanisms recognized under state privacy laws (such as Colorado's universal opt-out mechanism requirements).
For general "Do Not Track" (DNT) browser signals that are not GPC-compliant, there is currently no industry standard for how websites should respond. However, we treat all universal opt-out signals, including GPC, as opt-out requests as described above.
IHM shares personal information with third parties in ways that may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" under certain state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) and similar state laws. Specifically, we may share identifiers, professional information, internet activity data, and inferences with advertising and marketing partners for targeted advertising and other commercial purposes.
You have the right to opt out.
To exercise your right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information:
We will process your opt-out request promptly and will not discriminate against you for exercising this right.
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Our specific retention practices are as follows:
When personal information is no longer needed for the purposes described above, we will securely delete or de-identify it.
Depending on where you reside, you may have some or all of the following rights regarding your personal information:
Not all rights are available in every state. Please see the State-Specific Privacy Rights section below and the individual state addendum pages for details on which rights apply to you.
You or your authorized agent may submit a privacy request using any of the following methods:
To protect your privacy, we will verify your identity before processing your request. We may ask you to confirm information we have on file (such as your email address, name, or account details). If you submit a request through an authorized agent, we may require the agent to provide proof of written authorization and may still contact you directly to verify your identity.
We will acknowledge receipt of your request within 10 business days and provide a substantive response within 45 days. If we need additional time, we will notify you and may extend the response period by up to an additional 45 days, as permitted by applicable law.
If you are a resident of a state with a comprehensive consumer privacy law, you may have additional rights under that state's law. We have prepared detailed addendum pages for states with active privacy laws. These pages explain your specific rights, the categories of data we collect and share, and how to exercise your rights.
