INFORMATION COLLECTED AND HOW WE USE IT
What We Collect:
Allscripts primary goal in collecting information from you is to give you a meaningful, enjoyable and customized experience while using ePrescribe and to allow us to develop new products and services that are relevant to users like you. ePrescribe Focused Advertising allows us to provide relevant information to you about options available to use in the treatment of your patients and to customize our service to make your online experience smooth and efficient.

Personal Information:
To gain access to certain information on our websites, we need to collect information including identifying your specialty, the state in which your practice is located, the state where you are licensed, your zip code, and DEA schedule. Visitors may also be asked to select a user ID and password.
B)
Aggregate and Statistical Data:
Through Focused Advertising, Allscripts may collect certain aggregate data called web log information (such as your web browser, operating system, pages visited, etc.) and use cookies when you visit sites. For instance, when you visit one of our sites, our web server will automatically recognize some non-personal information, including but not limited to the date and time you visited our site, the pages you visited, the referrer (the website you came from), the type of browser you are using (e.g. Netscape, Internet Explorer), the type of operating system you are using (e.g., Windows ',95 or Mac OS), and the IP address that is hitting our site. Neither the web log information nor cookies collects any personal information. They do not contain personal information, such as your name or e-mail address, and in no way are used to identify our users.
HOW WE USE IT
A)
Personal Information:
We may use personal information about you to improve our marketing and promotional efforts; to statistically analyze site usage; to improve our content and product offerings; and to customize our sites' content, layout and services. We may also use your information to deliver information to you that, in some cases, is focused to your interests, including new services and promotions. We believe these uses allow us to improve our site and better tailor it to meet our visitors' needs. Allscripts Focused Advertising may combine non-personal information collected automatically, e.g., through web log data, with your previously submitted personal information.
B)
Aggregate and Statistical Data:
Allscripts uses web log information (such as your web browser, operating system, pages visited, etc.) to help us design and improve our website, to identify popular features, to measure success of Focused Advertising, and for other managerial purposes. Web logs may be used if necessary to help identify any person attempting to break into or damage our website. We may share web log information with law enforcement agencies if we believe that we have evidence of a violation of computer security or related laws, or if otherwise required by law.
DATA SHARING AND TRANSFER
How We May Share Information:
Except as stated below, we will not share, trade or sell personal information of our visitors for use by any business. However, aggregated and statistical data from our visitors may be shared with our partners. We may share personal, non-patient information with Ad Serving Vendors which will capture certain information being passed through ePrescribe once a user signs into the application. Once this information is captured, it may be communicated to Ad Serving Vendors to retrieve a focused ad to be placed on the ePrescribe login page for a specific user. Ad Serving Vendors may automatically collect and store certain information in server logs such as how you used the service, your search queries, telephony log information, if any, Internet protocol address, device event information, such as crashes, system activity, hardware settings, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and referral URL. The Ad Serving Vendors will only receive obfuscated information that does not link to you directly. These vendors, contractors or partners use this data to provide services for Allscripts, and to improve their own services through aggregate de-identified data and metrics. Allscripts may share your information with any person or company that acquires Allscripts business or any portion of the Allscripts business to which your information relates. Allscripts will ensure that any person or company to whom your information is transferred agrees to abide by the same privacy obligations as Allscripts. Allscripts also reserves the right to share the information to respond to duly authorized information requests of governmental authorities or where required by law. Data Transfers: Your personal information will generally be stored in our Allscripts databases, which are located in various geographies within the United States. Allscripts data protection standards are consistent throughout geographic regions.
COOKIES
Cookies help us in many ways to make your visit to our websites more enjoyable and meaningful to you. Cookies are text information files that your web browser places on your computer when you visit a website. Allscripts and/or our Ad Serving Vendors may use such "cookie" technology to obtain non-personal information from you as an online visitor. As an example, this might entail recognizing several web page requests coming from the same computer and therefore the same visitor. Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but can be configured not to accept them or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.

Vendors, contractors, or partners of Allscripts who have access to your personal information in connection with providing services for Allscripts are required to keep the information confidential and are not permitted to use this information for any other purpose than to carry out the services they are performing for us. When necessary, we use secure connections on our web sites to protect information during its transmission.
