Privacy Policy
IQV Servicing, LLC (“IQVS”) is committed to protecting your privacy. You can visit most pages on www.iqvservicing.com (the “Site”) without providing any information about yourself. However, we sometimes require information in order to provide the services that you request, and so the following privacy statement explains collection, dissemination and use of your personal data in those situations. This information may be expanded or updated as we change or develop our site. For this reason, we recommend that you review this policy from time to time to see if anything has changed. Your continued use of our Site signifies your acceptance of the Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected by our constituent companies, affiliates, other websites or online services.

Sharing of Information
Except for the limited situations discussed in this Privacy Policy, we will not share your personal information with third parties. Below are the categories and purpose of how we share your personal information:
Affiliates and Constituent Companies. We may disclose information within our family of affiliated and constituent companies on a need to know basis, solely as needed to process your questions or respond to your requests. If you contact our affiliates through this Site, we may need to disclose your information to one or more affiliates. In that case, our affiliates have their own privacy policies, which govern their use of your information. If you have asked for affiliate information, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with the applicable affiliate privacy policy on the affiliate’s site.
Service Providers. We rely on third parties to perform a variety of services for us. A third party service provider hosts and operates this website on our behalf. That provider collects and maintains your personal information for us and shares it with us. Other services by third parties include webcasting, communications via email and postal mail and providing data analysis. We may also need to provide your personal information to other businesses that provide these types of services for us.
Other Parties When Required by Law or As Necessary to Protect Our Services. We reserve the right to disclose your information in cases when we have reason to believe that it is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with our rights or property or those of our visitors or others. We also reserve the right to disclose your information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or when doing so is necessary to respond to a government request.
Other Parties in Connection With a Corporate Transaction. We reserve the right to transfer any information we have about you in the event that we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets to a third party, such as in the event of a merger, acquisition, or in connection with a bankruptcy reorganization.
Otherwise With Your Consent or At Your Direction. In addition to the sharing described in this Privacy Policy, we may disclose information about you with third parties whenever you consent to or direct such sharing.
We also may disclose other information with third parties in a manner that does not identify particular visitors, including, for example, aggregate information about how the Site and interactions with it are used.

By providing your e-mail address, you are agreeing that IQVS can send you important information about our products or services, including announcements of new releases.

Social Media Guidelines
IQVS encourages dialogue about its products, services, and initiatives. We welcome your thoughts and we’ll do our best to reply to your comments, but we won’t be able to reply to issues through Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or Instagram. Please do not submit any confidential or financial information to IQVS via social networks. Your messages and posts on social networks are not always private and so you should only include information that you are comfortable sharing publicly. If you have a question about your account, please call the appropriate number listed on our contact page.
We won’t respond to off-topic comments and replies. While IQVS appreciates the exchange of ideas, postings should follow basic rules of decorum and common sense, they should not be obscene, fraudulent, offensive or endorse or encourage criminal activity.
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Youtube are not owned by, or affiliated with, IQVS and because of this, IQVS cannot control how information you post on these sites is used. Please follow the Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, or Youtube links for information on their respective privacy, security or other policies.
While IQVS encourages dialogue on social networks, the fact that information is posted on social media does not mean IQVS agrees with or endorses the content posted by others or ensures that it is accurate or complete. Nothing on this or any Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Youtube page creates any agreement, endorsement, representation, or contract by IQVS.
Media Policy
IQVS is the owner of all content, copyrighted materials, (including all images and photographs) and trademarks. All ownership rights in these materials will remain with IQVS.
Security
We have adopted physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to help protect the information we collect online. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. As a result, although we strive to protect your personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you provide to us. We are not responsible for the theft, destruction, or inadvertent disclosure of your personal information.
Other Important Information
Children’s Privacy. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13 without parental consent, unless permitted by law. If we learn that a child under the age of 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete it in accordance with applicable law.

We reserve the right to provide communications in paper format.

As our Site evolves over time or our data handling policies change, we will update this Privacy Policy. Any changes to the Privacy Policy will become effective when the updated policy is posted on this Site. This privacy policy will be governed by the laws of the United States and the state of Ohio.
