Privacy Notice for Oregon Residents

Effective Date: February 26, 2026

Last Updated: February 26, 2026

This Oregon Privacy Rights Addendum supplements the IHM Holdings Privacy Policy and applies to residents of Oregon. It describes how International Healthcare Media, LLC ("IHM," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise processes personal data of Oregon residents, and the rights you have under the Oregon Consumer Privacy Act ("OCPA," ORS §§ 646A.570–646A.604), effective July 1, 2024.

Scope

This notice applies to you if you are a resident of Oregon acting in an individual or household context. It does not apply to:

  • Personal data processed in the employment or business-to-business (B2B) context
  • Personal data governed by HIPAA, GLBA, FCRA, FERPA, or other specifically exempted federal laws
  • De-identified data or publicly available information

Important: The OCPA has several unique features among state privacy laws:

  • It applies to nonprofit organizations (most state privacy laws exempt nonprofits)
  • It has no revenue threshold for applicability
  • It includes a right to obtain a list of specific third parties to whom personal data has been disclosed (not just categories of third parties)
  • It has strict requirements around geolocation data and sensitive data processing

Categories of Personal Data We Collect

We collect the following categories of personal data from Oregon residents:

  • Identifiers: Name, email, postal address, phone number, NPI number, IP address, device identifiers — Purpose: Account management, communications, service delivery
  • Professional information: Job title, specialty, employer, credentials, practice type — Purpose: Content personalization, marketing, audience segmentation
  • Commercial information: Subscription history, event registrations, content engagement — Purpose: Service delivery, marketing, analytics
  • Internet activity data: Browsing history, search history, interactions with websites, emails, and ads — Purpose: Website optimization, targeted advertising, analytics
  • Geolocation data: Approximate location from IP address (city/region level) — Purpose: Content localization, analytics
  • Inferences: Professional interests, content preferences, audience segments — Purpose: Targeted advertising, content personalization

How We Use Your Personal Data

We process personal data for the following purposes:

  • Providing, maintaining, and improving our websites and services
  • Managing your account and fulfilling your requests
  • Sending publications, newsletters, and educational content
  • Marketing and advertising, including targeted advertising
  • Creating audience segments for our advertisers and sponsors
  • Website analytics and optimization
  • Detecting fraud and ensuring security
  • Complying with legal obligations

Third-Party Sharing and Sale of Personal Data

Service Providers (Processors)

We share personal data with service providers who process data on our behalf under written contracts that restrict their use of the data to the services we have engaged them to provide.

Third Parties for Targeted Advertising

IHM shares personal data with advertisers, sponsors, and marketing partners — including identifiers, professional information, internet activity data, and inferences — for purposes of targeted advertising and direct marketing. Under the OCPA, this constitutes the "sale" of personal data and/or processing personal data for "targeted advertising."

Categories of third parties receiving personal data:

  • Advertisers and sponsors
  • Marketing and advertising technology partners
  • The DMD Healthcare Communications Network (DMD, an IQVIA company)
  • Event co-sponsors and exhibitors

Sale of Personal Data

Under the OCPA, the "sale of personal data" means the exchange of personal data for monetary or other valuable consideration. IHM does exchange personal data with third parties for monetary consideration. You have the right to opt out of the sale of your personal data.

Right to a List of Specific Third Parties

Under the OCPA, you have the right to request a list of the specific third parties (not just categories) to whom we have disclosed your personal data. This is a broader right than provided by most other state privacy laws. To request this list, use the contact methods described below.

Sensitive Data

Under the OCPA, "sensitive data" includes personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, mental or physical health condition or diagnosis, sexual orientation, citizenship or immigration status, genetic or biometric data, children's data, and precise geolocation data.

The OCPA has strict requirements for sensitive data processing, including geolocation data:

  • IHM does not collect precise geolocation data (GPS-level). We collect only approximate location derived from IP address (city/region level).
  • As a healthcare media company, content engagement on our websites may indirectly reveal health-related interests, which may qualify as data concerning a "mental or physical health condition or diagnosis."
  • We will obtain your consent before processing sensitive data, as required by the OCPA. Where consent is not feasible, we will provide clear notice and the opportunity to opt out.

Geolocation protections: Oregon has among the strictest requirements for geolocation data among state privacy laws. If we were to collect precise geolocation data in the future, we would obtain opt-in consent and provide clear disclosure of the data's use, as required by the OCPA.

Your Rights Under the OCPA

As an Oregon resident, you have the following rights under the OCPA:

Right to Access

You have the right to confirm whether we are processing your personal data and to access such data.

Right to Correct

You have the right to correct inaccuracies in your personal data, taking into account the nature of the data and the purposes of the processing.

Right to Delete

You have the right to request deletion of personal data you have provided to us or that we have obtained about you.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to obtain a copy of your personal data in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily usable format.

Right to a List of Specific Third Parties

You have the right to obtain a list of the specific third parties to whom we have disclosed your personal data. This goes beyond the "categories of third parties" disclosure required by other states — under the OCPA, you can request the actual names of the companies we have shared your data with.

Right to Opt Out of Targeted Advertising

You have the right to opt out of the processing of your personal data for purposes of targeted advertising.

Right to Opt Out of Sale of Personal Data
