02What we collect and why
We collect only the information we need to run this CME activity, issue your certificate and understand who the program reaches.
Title, first and last names. We use these to create your account, address you correctly and print your name on your CME certificate exactly as you entered it.
Email address. We use your email address to sign you in and let you resume where you left off. We also use it to contact you about your account or certificate, for example if there is a problem issuing your certificate.
Mobile number (optional). If you provide it, we use it to reach you about an account or certificate issue when we cannot reach you by email.
Specialty, hospital or clinic, country and city. We use this information to produce statistics on the program's reach, such as how many participants and certificates there are per country and per specialty. These reports combine data from many learners and never identify you.
Learning activity. We record the sessions you view, your assessment responses and results, your completion status and whether a certificate has been issued. We use these records to save your progress, confirm that you have met the completion requirements, issue your CME certificate and keep the records that AAFP may ask to audit.
All fields are required except your mobile number. If you leave a required field blank, you cannot submit the form.
We process your registration details and learning activity because they are needed to provide the CME activity you sign up for. We produce aggregate statistics because of our legitimate interest in measuring the reach of the program, and we design these reports so that no individual can be identified.
Cookies. Our website uses cookies, which are small files stored by your browser. Some cookies are needed for the website to work, for example to keep you signed in during your visit. We also use cookies to count visits to the website and measure how many people the program reaches. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but if you block cookies that the website needs, you may not be able to sign in or save your progress.
03Who receives your data
P&CC manages registration, learning records, assessments and certificate issuance and coordinates with the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) on CME matters. We provide learner records to AAFP only if it requests them for an audit, and limit disclosure to the information needed for that audit.
NewBridge Pharmaceuticals FZ-LLC receives only aggregate reports that do not identify individual learners. These may include totals for registrations, recorded sessions viewed, assessments completed and certificates issued, as well as participation by specialty, workplace, country or city where the breakdown can be reported without identifying individuals.
We do not share names, contact details or individual learning records with NewBridge.
04How we store and protect your data
Your data is stored on secure servers provided by our web hosting provider. The provider processes the data on our behalf and only on our instructions, and it may not use your data for its own purposes. We host your data in a local data center.
Only authorized P&CC staff who need learner records to run the program can access them. We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against loss, misuse and unauthorized access, including encrypted connections between your browser and our website.
05Contacting a speaker
If a speaker gives P&CC permission, we display the work email address they approve under their name on their recorded session page. Learners can use that address to ask questions about the session. If you email a speaker, the speaker receives your message and the email address you send it from.
Please avoid including patient-identifying information in messages to speakers.
Speakers can ask P&CC to remove their work email from the platform by contacting info@modernmedicine.me.
06How long we keep your data
P&CC keeps identifiable learner records for one year from the date AAFP approves this activity for CME credit. Approval is pending, and we will update this statement with the approval date once it is received.
At the end of this period, we permanently delete identifiable learner records. We may keep aggregate reports, because they do not identify any individual.
07Your choices and how to contact us
Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to request access to or a copy of your personal data, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to or restrict certain uses. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it by contacting us. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority.
