If you are unable to agree to the terms of this Agreement, you cannot download or use the App.
The purpose of the App is to provide you with access to educational content in the endoscopy field.

These third party sources may have their own use and privacy policy agreements, which you should read, understand, and follow.
We provide information to you in response to your individual search or you may search for content using our index. The results of your search may include content provided to us by our sponsors.

You may use this App as a registered user. If you are a registered user, we will collect your IP and generalized location. If you register as a user, we will obtain your permission to collect information by filling out our form or responding to requests by us for additional information. You may withdraw your permission at any time. This information will be securely stored by third-party cloud providers.

What we do with the information.
We will use the data we collect about you to improve the App and to give you a better user experience. For example, we may analyze the data to identify trends and construct reports about what content is viewed by users and how our users move within the App. We do not share your individual data with others but aggregate data in a form that does not disclose your personal information. By way of illustration, we may share with others how many users use the App, the content viewed, and the time spent on specific content. The aggregated data does not reveal personal information about you that would allow a party to target you for advertising or promotional emails.
Your personal information may be accessed by us and our App developer. If you register for a training program via the App, we may ask you share your personal information as part of a standardized protocol for the training sessions. If you access information outside our App from our sponsors or other third parties, you may be providing information to the sponsor or third-party information when you visit their site. To determine what information a sponsor or third party is collecting and how the information may be used, you will need to review the privacy policy of the sponsor or third party. We cannot control how a sponsor or third party uses information you provide to them. If you agree to share your personal information in this way, you may receive information from a specific sponsor. If you have any questions about the information we have gathered about you, you may contact us at support@endoscopynow.com.
