Privacy Statement and Terms of Use

Effective August 23, 2004
 

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PRIVACY STATEMENT AND TERMS OF USE (collectively, “Terms”) CAREFULLY. These Terms apply to anyone who visits this site. By using this site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use this site.

We reserve the right to change these Terms at any time by posting revised terms on this site. Your continued use of this site following the posting of changes means you accept the changes.

Privacy and Collection of Information

The Azur Pharma FazaClo® Patient Registry (“Registry”) is a national registry of health care practitioners and pharmacists that prescribe and dispense FazaClo® and patients taking FazaClo®. The Registry is mandated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) as a condition of our marketing FazaClo® in the United States. The following paragraphs describe the collection, security and use of information through this site and otherwise in connection with the operation of the Registry.

Collection of Information

We collect personally identifiable information through this site and otherwise in connection with the operation of the Registry. This information includes names, contact and identifying information concerning health care practitioners and pharmacists that prescribe and dispense FazaClo® and patients taking FazaClo®, as well as patient medical information and information necessary for us to process and verify orders for FazaClo® Patient Registry Starter Packets and demo CD-ROMs.

Health care practitioners and pharmacists must register with the Registry to prescribe or dispense FazaClo®. You are required to provide certain information as part of the online registration process if you wish to prescribe or dispense FazaClo®. When you complete the registration process, you represent that you are a health care practitioner or pharmacist duly licensed in the jurisdictions in which you practice and that the information you provide as part of the registration process is accurate.

If you register to prescribe or dispense FazaClo®, you thereby agree to provide, through the secure area of the Registry website, accurate required information concerning the patients to whom you prescribe or dispense FazaClo®. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) patient privacy regulations permit disclosure by health care professionals of “protected health information,” without patient consent, to fulfill certain requirements as mandated by the FDA. Please see 45 C.F.R. § 164.512(b)(iii).

The Registry website provides a process for health care practitioners and pharmacists to review and change certain information previously provided to us by using the tools provided on the site.

Security

While security of a computer system can never be guaranteed, the Registry is designed to be accessible only to registered users with a user ID and password obtained from the FazaClo® Patient Registry Coordinating Center. The Registry is designed to provide health care practitioners and pharmacists access to information concerning only those patients registered to them. Data security is accomplished using 128-bit data encryption standards. All data communications are encrypted and require 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer browser support.

Use and Disclosure of Information

Patient information we collect through this site and otherwise in connection with the operation of the Registry will be used and disclosed only for purposes of the Registry as permitted by HIPPA or the FDA. Other information that we collect may be used for our business purposes, but we will not disclose such information to anyone outside Azur Pharma, its affiliates, successors and service providers, unless we have a good faith basis to believe that we are required to do so by law or that you are in violation of these Terms or law.
