Pain.com will make every effort to protect the privacy of every individual user of this website and will use information gathered on users only to maintain records as required by the American Medical Association and the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME).

Pain.com does not require individuals to "register" to use this site with the exception of physicians and other health care providers who desire to receive CME/CE credit for accredited educational programs on the site. Physicians and other health care professionals, as well as other individual users, may use any portion of the site they desire, including the accredited programs, but to receive CME/CE credit for accredited activities, physicians and other health care professionals must register to complete these activities. Only physicians, nurses or other health care professionals who desire to receive CME/CE credit for their completion of accredited CME/CE activities on Pain.com need to register.

If an individual completes a CME or other accredited activity on Pain.com, we are required by the American Medical Association (AMA), and the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), or any other accrediting organizations, to collect personal information on the individual, such as their name, address, and phone number, that will allow us to issue a CME/CE Certificate to them and to keep this information on file for up to 6 years.

Personal information provided to Pain.com will be used only to meet AMA and ACCME requirements and to issue CME/CE Certificates to those who complete these educational activities. Information gathered on individuals who complete a CME/CE activity on pain.com is stored in a secure database and is restricted to appropriate members of the Dannemiller Foundation. We use these databases to verify individual participation in a CME/CE activity and to re-issue a certificate to and individual if the certificate is lost or misplaced.

Personal information gathered will not be released to any other company or organization for any purpose. This information remains totally confidential. At the end of the mandatory 6-year period, these records will be permanently destroyed.

Pain.com uses website tracking software to determine how the website is used. This software allows us to determine where users of Pain.com go on the site. It also tells us what browsers individuals are using, how long they stayed on the site, what areas they visited, and how they found us on the Internet, i.e., through a link with another site, through a search engine, or if they just entered our URL (pain.com). This helps us determine what portions of the site are important to our users and how they found us so we can better meet the needs of our users. This software does not identify an individual personally.

If individuals are using our message boards, they are posting a message and their user name. Both the message and the user name will be available to anyone using these message boards. Individuals should not place anything in their message that they wish to remain private, as others who use this message board will be able to read the information they post here. Pain.com is not responsible for monitoring or protecting any personal information that the user may post on our message boards. Individual users must take the appropriate steps to protect their privacy in their postings.

If an individual participates in an "Ask the Pain Doctor" question, they should not provide information in their question that they wish to remain private. We do not publish complete names, addresses or email addresses for those who ask a question in this area, but we do reply to their question using their email address and question and the reply is posted for all users of the site to read. The email addresses individuals provide will not be released to any company or organization, and will not be used for any other purpose than to reply to the question they asked.

Pain.com does not employee "cookies" or any other software that would violate any individual's privacy in any way.
