Osteo Science Foundation – Terms & Conditions

Welcome to Osteo Science Foundation’s eLearning platform. Please read the below carefully. Your use of this Website means you accept these Terms and Conditions as at the date of your first use of this platform.

Privacy Policy

This Online Privacy Notice (“Privacy Policy”) explains how we handle the Personal Data (as defined below) provided to us on websites, mobile sites, mobile applications, and other digital services and products controlled by Osteo Science Foundation (“OSF”), 1650 Market Street, Suite 3600, Philadelphia PA 19103, that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, “OSF Sites”). OSF is the data controller for the processing of Personal Data under applicable law.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to OSF Sites that do not link to this Privacy Policy or to third-party websites to which OSF Sites may link.

Types of Information We Collect Online
The types of Personal Data that we may collect while you use the OSF Sites are described in this section and include both information that you provide to us and information that we collect automatically when you use the OSF Sites.

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Data” means information that identifies you or that could reasonably be used to identify you. Examples of Personal Data include name, address, telephone number, and email address.

Information You Provide
You do not have to register for a service or program to receive much of the information available on the OSF Sites. Some of our content, however, is available only to registered or identified users and will require you to set up a profile or provide specific information about yourself in order to provide you the service.

Personal Data You Provide When Visiting the OSF Sites
OSF collects Personal Data that you provide on the OSF Sites—for example, when creating an OSF account, contacting OSF directly for customer service, registering for an OSF event (virtual or live), or responding to OSF questionnaires or surveys. These types of information may include:

  • Contact information such as your name, address, phone number, or email address;
  • Registration information such as your username and password;
  • Employment, education, and other background information;
  • Payment information (such as banking information, payment card number, expiration date, delivery address, and billing address); or
  • Content you may provide (for example, when you complete our Online Contact Form, complete a biographical profile, or submit other information).

Personal Data You Share During Other Interactions with OSF
You may contact OSF at any time, for any reason. If you communicate with or request information from OSF, you may be prompted to provide your contact information as well as any Personal Data that is relevant to your request.

Information That May Be Collected Automatically
When you use the OSF Sites, we also may collect certain usage and device information automatically as described below.

IP Address
We may record the Internet Protocol (“IP”) address of your computer or other electronic device when you visit the OSF Sites. An IP address identifies the electronic device you use to access the Sites, which allows us to maintain communication with your computer as you move about the OSF Sites and customize content.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
We may also collect information about your use of the OSF Sites through tracking technologies such as cookies and web beacons. A “cookie” is a unique numeric code that is transferred to your computer to track your interests and preferences and to recognize you as a returning visitor. A “Web beacon” is a transparent graphic image placed on a website, e-mail, or advertisement that enables the monitoring of things such as user activity and site traffic. These technologies help remember your preferences and allow us to bring you the content and features that are likely to be of greatest interest to you on the basis of “clickstream” data that shows your previous activities on the OSF Sites.

We may utilize Google Display Advertising (such as Retargeting with Google Analytics, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, DoubleClick Campaign Manager integration, and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting) to (1) show you our ads on other websites based on your prior visits to the OSF Sites, and (2) better understand our ad impressions and use of ad services. In connection with the Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting service, we may use data from Google’s interest-based advertising or third-party audience data (such as age, gender, and interests) with Google Analytics to understand and improve our marketing campaigns and Site content.

Some of our online advertising may take place through Google Display Advertising. As part of this program, we use Google Analytics features such as Retargeting. In connection with that feature and others offered by ad networks, we and the operators of ad networks, including Google, may use third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) – and in some cases first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) – to inform, optimize and serve ads across the Internet, based on a user’s past visits to the OSF Sites. We also may show you ads from when you visit the OSF Sites.

You can opt out of Google Ads by visiting http://www.google.com/ads/preferences. If you do not want your data used by Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on at the Google Analytics opt-out page.

The OSF Sites are not designed to respond to “do not track” signals received from browsers.

To learn more about cookies and other tracking technologies, including how to disable them, please visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org/. Please note that some cookies are essential to the functioning of our Sites and deleting or disabling them will reduce the site’s functionality.

Mobile Tracking
The OSF is also available either as mobile applications or mobile sites that you can use on your mobile device. If you use a mobile device to access and use the OSF Sites, we may collect the following mobile-specific information in addition to the other information described above: device or advertising ID, device type, hardware type, media access control (“MAC”) address, international mobile equipment identity (“IMEI”), the version of your mobile operating system, the platform used to access or download the OSF Sites (e.g., Apple, Google, Amazon, Windows), location information, and usage information about your device and your use of the OSF Sites.

Information Collected from Other Sources
We may also combine information about you that is collected through the OSF Sites with information that we have collected offline, as well as with information provided to us by third parties.

How We Use Your Information
We use your Personal Data to provide you the services you request, communicate with you, improve your experience on the OSF Sites, and generally improve our services and for other internal business purposes. These uses may also include the recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction of Personal Data. The Personal Data we collect about you may be stored and/or archived for no longer than necessary for the purposes set out above, in accordance with applicable laws.

Providing Services You Request
If you choose to receive our services, we use the Personal Data that you provide through the OSF Sites to process payments, to respond to your questions, provide you the services you request, and offer an optimal customer experience.

Marketing
You may also receive marketing information from OSF, such as offers regarding OSF-related services, invitations to participate in events, or surveys about our services. In such cases, we will use your contact and other Personal Data to send you marketing information.

Customized User Experiences
The Personal Data that you provide may be used to create customized offers, information, or services tailored to your interests and preferences. Also, we may use your IP address and the data that we obtain automatically through the use of cookies or similar tracking technologies to make the OSF Sites easier to use and navigate as well as to personalize the content provided on the OSF Sites by anticipating the information and services that may be of interest to you.

Business and Product Improvement
In order to discover new facts that could help OSF better understand customer needs and help improve, develop, and evaluate product, services, materials, and programs, OSF analyzes the information that you have provided. For these purposes OSF does not use information that can directly identify you.

Site Analytics and Improvement
We may use the information that you provide and the information we collect automatically about your use of the OSF Sites to monitor user traffic patterns and preferences for site improvement, analytics, and optimization.

EU – Legal Basis for Processing
Under European data protection laws, OSF must have a legal basis to process your Personal Data. The legal basis that applies in an instance will depend on for which of the specific purposes described above OSF is processing your Personal Data:

  • In certain cases, OSF may ask for your consent to collect and process your Personal Data. Should you choose to provide your consent, you may later withdraw your consent by contacting us as described in the “Your Privacy Choices” section. Please note that the withdrawal of consent will not affect processing which has already occurred.
  • In other instances, the processing of your Personal Data may be necessary in order to comply with an applicable law or regulation or for the performance of a contract to which you are subject. You may not be able to opt-out of this processing, or your choice to opt-out may impact our ability to perform a contractual obligation otherwise owed to you.
  • In still other instances, OSF may process your Personal Data based on OSF’s legitimate interests in communicating with you about our services, and about scientific research and educational opportunities. You have the right to opt-out of all such processing of your Personal Data. You may do so by contacting us as described in the “Your Privacy Choices” section.

Information We Share
We only share your Personal Data with third parties as described below. We do not sell or rent Personal Data to third parties for their own marketing purposes or for any other reason.

Third-Party Advertising and Online Behavioral Advertising
You may be provided with online advertisements of OSF events and services on third-party websites and mobile services that are tailored to you, for example, on the basis of information that you provide to OSF or a third-party website you are visiting, or of your browsing activity, purchases, or interests. These types of tailored online advertisements may come through several sources, such as the following:

  • We may share with our advertising service providers your non-identifying information that we have obtained from cookies and other tracking technologies on the OSF Sites.
  • OSF may participate in online behavioral advertising (this is also sometimes called re-target advertising or interest-based advertising). Our advertising network partners may place and use cookies on the OSF Sites and on other third-party websites to collect information about your activities in order to provide you with online advertisements that are based on your interests. When an OSF online behavioral advertisement is delivered to you, you will see an “Ad Choices” icon. Clicking on the icon or link will take you to a website where you can manage or opt out of the use of data about your browsing history that is used for the delivery of online behavioral advertisements. If you opt out, you may still see advertisements online, including advertisements from OSF that are based on other information (e.g., based on the content of the page being viewed rather than your prior clickstream activity). In some cases, data may still be collected about your browsing activity by these third-party advertisers, but they will not use this data to deliver advertisements that are based on your past online browsing behavior. You can also opt out now by TK
  • Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to websites with which the browser communicates. As of the Effective Date of this Privacy Policy, an industry standard has not yet been established on how to respond to these signals. Therefore, OSF does not currently respond to these signals. As discussed above, you can opt out from advertisers that use your browsing history to deliver online behavioral advertisements by visiting adchoices.

Related companies, Vendors and Suppliers
We have relationships with suppliers and related companies, who help us operate our business and for whom it may be necessary to have access to your Personal Data in the course of providing services to OSF. We will not authorize these parties to use your Personal Data for any purpose that is not related to OSF and its related companies’ business operation, and we do not share Personal Data from countries that require consent, unless appropriate consent has been obtained in advance to sharing with related companies. We require them to handle your Personal Data collected in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Co-branded Sites
We may partner with other companies to provide you with content or services on a joint or “co-branded” basis. At a co-branded site, you will see both the OSF logo and the logo of the co-branding partner displayed on your screen. You should read the individual privacy policies of our co-branding partners, as they may differ in some respects from ours. Reading these policies will help you to make an informed decision about whether to provide your information to a given site.

Product Reports
If you contact OSF regarding your experience in using one of our services, we may use the information that you provide in submitting reports to the designated government regulatory authority, as required of us by law.

Legal Rights and Obligations
In certain limited circumstances, OSF may need to disclose your Personal Data in order to comply with a legal obligation or demand, such as to comply with reporting obligations to our governing regulatory authorities. In such instances, we will take measures to protect your Personal Data to the extent possible. We also reserve the right to use Personal Data to investigate and prosecute users who violate our rules or who engage in behavior that is illegal or harmful to others or to others’ property.

Children Privacy
OSF does not knowingly collect or use any Personal Data directly from children on the OSF Sites (We define “children” as minors younger than 18). We do not knowingly allow children to use our services, to communicate with us, or to use any of our online services. If you are a parent and become aware that your child has provided us with information, please contact us using one of the methods specified below, and we will work with you to address this issue.

Your Privacy Choices
You have the right to see and get a copy of Personal Data about you that we maintain as well as to ask us to make corrections to inaccurate or incomplete Personal Data about you. You may have the right to receive data you have provided to us in a machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller. You may also request the erasure of your Personal Data or the restriction of its processing, or object to the processing of Personal Data about you. To seek access to Personal Data about you, to file a concern, complaint, or request for correction, or to opt out of particular programs, please contact us at info@osteoscience.org or by clicking on the “Contact Us” link on the OSF Sites. You may also send a letter to the following address:

Osteo Science Foundation
1650 Market Street, Suite 3600
Philadelphia, PA 19103

For more information about your privacy rights, or if you are not able to resolve a problem directly with us and wish to make a complaint, please contact your local Data Protection Authority.

In all communications to OSF, please include your email address, the website address, mobile application, and/or the specific OSF service to which you provided Personal Data, and a detailed explanation of your request. If you would like to delete, amend, or correct your Personal Data and are contacting us by email, please put “Deletion Request” or “Amendment/Correction Request” in the subject line of the email. We will respond to all reasonable requests in a timely manner and may need to further confirm your identity in order to process certain requests.

Data Security
OSF maintains reasonable technical, administrative, and physical controls to secure any Personal Data collected through the OSF Sites. There is always some risk, however, that an unauthorized third party could intercept an Internet transmission, or that someone will find a way to thwart our security systems. We urge you to exercise caution when transmitting Personal Data over the Internet, especially your financial-related information. OSF cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will not gain access to your Personal Data; therefore, when submitting Personal Data to the OSF Sites, you must weigh both the benefits and the risks.

Third Party Sites and Social Media Plug-ins
This Privacy Policy does not apply to OSF Sites that do not link to this Privacy Policy, or to third-party websites to which OSF Sites may link. The OSF Sites may use social media plug-ins (e.g., the Facebook “Like” button, “Share to Twitter” button) to enable you to easily share information with others. When you visit the OSF Sites, the operator of the social plug-in can place a cookie on your computer or other electronic device that enables that operator to recognize individuals who have previously visited our Site. If you are logged into the social media website (e.g., Instagram, Facebook, Twitter) while browsing on our OSF Site, the social media plug-in allows that social media website to receive information that you have visited the OSF Sites. The social media plug-in also allows the social media website to share information about your activities on the OSF Sites with other users of their social media website. These sharing settings are managed by the social media website and governed by its privacy policy.

Accessing Our Sites Globally
This site is owned and operated by OSF in the United States, but the information you provide will be accessible to our vendors and suppliers in other countries in accordance with this policy. Furthermore, if you are visiting the OSF Sites from a country other than the United States, your communication with us will necessarily result in the transfer of information across international borders. The level of legal protection for Personal Data is not the same in all countries; however, we will take the security measures described in this Privacy Policy in an effort to keep your information secure. By using the OSF Sites, you understand that your Personal Data will be stored and processed in the United States and in any country to which we may transfer your information in the course of our business operations.

Notice to California Residents
Subject to certain limits under California Civil Code § 1798.83, California residents may ask us to provide them with (i) a list of certain categories of Personal Data that we have disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes during the immediately preceding calendar year, and (ii) the identity of those third parties. To make this request, California residents may contact us at info@osteoscience.org.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy
We will only use Personal Data in the manner described in this Privacy Policy in effect when the information was collected from you or as authorized by you. Subject to any applicable consent requirements, we reserve the right to change the terms of this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will be reflected on this page with a new effective date. OSF encourages you to review this Privacy Policy regularly for any changes. Any Personal Data collected upon your continued use of the OSF Sites will be handled in accordance with the currently posted Privacy Policy.
