Disclaimer

This Privacy Policy describes how [Your Organization/Website Name] (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and discloses information when you visit and interact with our Multiple Sclerosis research documents and blog posts (the “Service”).

We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in an open and transparent manner. As a content-focused service, we aim to collect minimal personal data.

1. Information We Collect

Given the nature of our Service (primarily informational content), we collect very limited information.

• Non-Personal Data: When you access our Service, we may automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable information, such as your IP address (anonymized), browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and the dates/times of your visits. This data is collected to understand user engagement, improve our content, and ensure the technical functioning of our Service. We use aggregated and anonymized forms of this data, which cannot be used to identify you personally.
• No Direct Personal Information Collection: We do not currently provide features that directly collect personally identifiable information such as names, email addresses, or other contact details. There are no user accounts, comment sections, or contact forms on our current Service setup that would require you to submit such information.

2. How We Use Information

The non-personal data we collect is used solely for the following purposes:

• To Operate and Maintain our Service: Ensuring the proper functioning and accessibility of our research documents and blog.
• To Improve Content: Analyzing trends in user engagement to understand which topics are most relevant and how we can enhance our informational resources.
• For Analytics: To monitor and analyze the usage and effectiveness of our Service.
• For Security: To detect and prevent potential technical issues or fraudulent activities.

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your non-personal data to outside parties, except in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share anonymized, aggregated data with third-party services (e.g., web analytics providers) to help us understand and improve our Service. These providers are obligated to protect your information and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order or government agency).
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your non-personal information may be transferred. We will provide notice before your information becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.

4. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures designed to protect the non-personal information collected through our Service from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Your Choices and Rights

As we do not collect personal identifying information, the traditional rights associated with personal data (like access, rectification, erasure) are not directly applicable. However, if you are concerned about our use of non-personal data:

• Browser Settings: You can configure your browser to block cookies or notify you when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of our Service may not function properly without cookies.
• Analytics Opt-Out: You may be able to opt-out of certain analytics tracking through various browser add-ons or settings.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the “Effective Date” at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
