Data collection

How is data collected on the site?

At www.summerlove.com, traffic patterns, site usage information and visitor information are gathered to help developing the design and functionality of the site, and to allow to personalize your visit.

As a standard practice, we assign a random number to each customer so that we can track content preferences and traffic patterns in general. This random number allows us to collect summary information about how the site is being used by our customers, without specifically knowing who those customers are. This random number is kept as a text file on your hard drive and is called a 'cookie'. Cookies, by themselves, cannot be used to determine the identity of a customer. Unless you specifically tell us, we will not know who you are.

Cookies

The site www.summerlove.com is for medical professionals only. Therefore it is accessible only after registering. Since the check if someone is allowed to access content within the site is done by checking the cookie during the visit, it is necessary to accept cookies in order to be allowed to use this site. However, after visiting www.summerlove.com, you are as always free to remove this cookie from your PC.

For the user registration, N.V. Organon uses a central user registration database. This means that visitors for all websites that are either owned or sponsored by N.V. Organon and that require registration, will only need to register once, and can then use the same account for all these sites. This central user registration offers you the possibility to use more sites from N.V. Organon without having to register again every time as a new user.

For this central user registration, a separate cookie will be put on your PC. When you visit another site that is either owned or sponsored by N.V. Organon, this cookie is used to determine whether you have already registered for sites by N.V. Organon before. If you have registered previously, then you will be asked if you would like to use the same account for other N.V. Organon sites that require registration. After confirming this by filling in your username and password, you are allowed to use the same registration for more than one site.

As with the www.summerlove.com cookie, you are also free to remove this central user registration cookie afer visiting www.summerlove.com.

Which data is collected for analysis?

For analysis purposes, N.V. Organon collects data on www.summerlove.com. The following data is collected for analysis:

Website logfiles:

As part of standard Internet operations, www.summerlove.com will record the following information from anyone using the site: access date & time, domain name, IP address, action, visited url, bytes send and received, time taken on visited url, cookie information, referring domain and operating system.

This information is used to analyse visitor traffic, eg. on which sections of the site are mostly visited by visitors, which operating systems are mostly used, do visitors come back to the site.

This logfile data is analyzed in combination with the following personal information:

- visitor registration information: date of registration, profession, country.
- e-alert subscription information: e-alert, date of subscription

This data is connected to the logfile information by using the anonymous user ID generated on the site.
Visitor registration:

Visitors are asked to provide the following information when registering: first name, last name, email address (optional), country, profession, username and password. For each registered visitor, an unique user ID plus the date of registration is also stored.

Only user ID, country, profession and date of registration are used (user ID is used to connect the e-alert subscriptions to registered users).
E-alert subscriptions:

Registered visitors on www.summerlove.com can subscribe to e-alerts. This can only be done when visitors have submitted an email address. For each subscription, the user ID, e-alert and date of subscription is stored.

For analysis, user ID, e-alert and date of subscription are used (user ID is used to connect the e-alert subscriptions to the registered visitors).
As indicated throughout this section, we believe that the amount of data collected and used should be limited, and narrowly tailored to particular purposes for which it is collected. This is done to protect personal information and reflect our principles about the collection and use of data. As specified above, information that will not be used for analysis purposes, is:

— Visitor information: username, password, first name, last name.

Besides this information, feedback to the editorial board (e.g., through email) will also not be stored in the analytical datawarehouse. Therefore, this data will only be kept in the online database that is used for the website, and will not be stored in another database for other purposes.

How is information used and disclosed?

The information you provide will enable us to offer you a tailored user experience, including personalized special offers, and information, products, and services that are relevant to your needs and interests.

Examples of what we examine internally are:

Which areas of the site are most interesting to visitors, in order to monitor and whenever necessary rearrange the content.
Which search phrases are used most often and how many results do they generate, in order to determine whether we offer visitors the right information.
We may also use this information, in combination with generally available databases of population statistics, to form a better understanding of our customers. This will enable us to tailor our products, services, and content to meet our customers' needs and preferences.
