Information Collection Practices

At DB Sentences, we prioritize your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you provide while using our website. We collect information you provide directly to us, such as when you sign up for an account, contact us through email, submit inquiries, or interact with features on our platform. Additionally, we may collect information automatically from your device, including but not limited to IP address, browser type, operating system, and referring URLs, using cookies and similar technologies to enhance user experience. This information helps us understand user preferences, personalize content, and improve functionality. We also gather anonymous usage statistics to analyze trends and enhance the performance and security of our pharmaceutical database. All information collected is handled in accordance with applicable laws in the United States of America, and we take all reasonable steps to ensure its security and confidentiality.

Use of Collected Information

Your information is used to provide, manage, and improve the DB Sentences platform, ensuring access to up-to-date pharmaceutical, disease, and supplement content. We utilize data for responding to your queries, administering your account, and personalizing content and recommendations. Some information may be used to detect, investigate, and address security or technical issues. We may use aggregate information to generate statistical summaries for research and development without identifying individual users. If you opt in, you may receive updates or newsletters about new features, changes in pharmaceutical data, or relevant health information. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties, and any disclosures to third parties are limited to service providers supporting our internal operations, in compliance with legal obligations, or for protection against fraud or harm.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

DB Sentences may share certain information with trusted third-party service providers who assist in operating, maintaining, and improving our platform. These third parties agree to respect the confidentiality and security of your information and are prohibited from using it for unrelated purposes. Any information shared is strictly limited to what is necessary to fulfill our contractual relationships and meet legal requirements. We may disclose your information if required by law, subpoena, or legal process, or if we believe in good faith such disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of DB Sentences, its users, or others. In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our assets, your information may be transferred and subject to a new privacy policy, of which you will be notified in advance.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website employs cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect information about user interactions, preferences, and browsing behaviors. Cookies are small files stored on your device that enable us to remember your settings, authenticate users, and provide a more personalized experience. We use both session and persistent cookies to analyze traffic patterns and optimize the performance of our website. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings, choosing to accept, reject, or delete cookies as desired. Please note that disabling cookies may limit certain functionalities and affect your user experience. Third-party analytics providers may also set cookies on our site to assist us in analyzing usage data. We do not allow third parties to use your information for their own marketing without your explicit consent.

Data Security and Protection

DB Sentences implements robust physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Security measures include encryption, secure server configurations, and regular security reviews. We restrict data access to authorized personnel who are obligated to maintain confidentiality under strict contractual and ethical agreements. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, no system can guarantee absolute security. If a data breach occurs, we will respond promptly to mitigate risks and notify affected users in accordance with applicable United States laws and federal regulations.

Children’s Privacy

DB Sentences does not knowingly collect or solicit information from children under the age of 13, in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Our website, content, and services are intended for use by adults and those over the age of 13 who seek pharmaceutical and medical information. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take immediate steps to delete such information from our records. Parents or guardians who believe that their child has disclosed information to us are encouraged to contact us so that we may promptly address any concerns.

Your Rights and Choices

As a user, you have certain rights regarding the personal information we collect and maintain. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data by contacting us at [email protected]. You may also choose to update your account settings or unsubscribe from non-essential communications at any time. We honor all verified requests in alignment with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for EU residents where applicable, and other U.S. privacy protections. If you are located in a jurisdiction offering enhanced privacy protections, you may be entitled to additional rights, which we will accommodate upon verified request.

Data Retention Practices

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to achieve the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, fulfill legal and contractual obligations, and protect our legitimate interests, such as resolving disputes or enforcing agreements. Data that is no longer required is routinely deleted or de-identified, ensuring it cannot be reconstructed or associated with any individual. Should you wish to have your information removed from our records, submit a request to [email protected], and we will process your request in a timely manner, subject to any existing legal or operational retention requirements.

International Data Transfers

DB Sentences is operated in the United States of America, and any data you provide may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the U.S. or other jurisdictions as necessary to deliver our services. By accessing our website, you consent to such transfers in accordance with applicable laws. We take appropriate steps to safeguard transferred information, ensuring equivalent levels of data protection regardless of the location of processing. Users from outside the U.S. should be aware that the privacy laws in the U.S. may differ from those in their jurisdiction.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

DB Sentences reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices, technological advancements, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. When updates occur, the new Privacy Policy will be posted on this page with a revised date. We encourage users to review this section regularly to stay informed about how we protect and use your information. Material changes that affect your rights or how your data is used will be communicated directly through prominent notifications on the website or via email, if possible.
