2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide
IDARI collects personal information only when you voluntarily provide it — for example, when you submit a question or correction request via our contact email addresses. We do not operate user accounts, registration forms, newsletter subscriptions, or comment systems on this site. We do not collect health or medical information from visitors.
2.2 Automatically Collected Data
Like virtually all web servers, our hosting infrastructure automatically logs standard request data when pages are accessed. This includes:
- IP address (anonymized to /24 subnet level before storage)
- Browser type and version (User-Agent string)
- Referring URL (the page that linked to our site)
- Pages visited and timestamp
- HTTP response codes
This data is used solely for server security, uptime monitoring, and aggregate traffic analysis. It is not combined with personal identifiers and is deleted after 90 days.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
IDARI's website does not use advertising cookies, marketing pixels, or behavioral tracking technologies. The following limited cookie categories may be set:
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Session (functional) | Server-side session state, if applicable | Session only |
| Analytics (aggregate) | Anonymized page view counts via privacy-first analytics | 12 months |
We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or similar third-party behavioral tracking tools.
4. How We Use Information
We use the limited information we collect to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the website
- Respond to editorial correction submissions or research inquiries
- Monitor for security threats and unauthorized access
- Produce aggregated, anonymized analytics about content usage (e.g., most-visited pages)
We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. We do not use personal data to build user profiles or serve personalized content.
5. Third-Party Links
IDARI's website contains links to external websites, including telehealth platforms, pharmacy chains, regulatory agencies, and academic institutions. These links are provided for informational convenience. IDARI is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party website, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected by those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external website before providing personal information.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your state of residence, you may have rights under applicable US privacy laws (including the California Consumer Privacy Act, Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, and similar statutes) to:
- Request disclosure of what personal information IDARI holds about you
- Request deletion of personal information we hold about you
- Opt out of the sale of personal information (IDARI does not sell personal information)
