Privacy Policy

Clinical Trial Spotlight (CTS) is a HIPAA compliant website designed to provide the highest quality information about clinical trials in easy to understand formats. CTS is a subsidiary of RESolutions, Rapid Enrollment Solutions.

Personal Information Collection and Use

CTS only collects Personal Information that we consider necessary in order to efficiently connect you with the physician and his/her staff at the clinical trial site. This information is only forwarded when you determine you want to complete an online screening questionnaire. In general, you can search available clinical trials on our website without telling us who you are or revealing any identifying Personal Information. If you'd like to take the next step to screen online for an open clinical trial or sign up to receive email notifications of new trials, we may require differing degrees of Personal Information about you. This limited Personal Information is critical to allow us to move your information forward to the appropriate trial site conducting the trial. You may opt out of receiving notifications of new trials at any time.

Non-Personal Information Collection and Use

Like most websites, though, we automatically receive and record certain information through the use of various technologies like "cookies," "web beacons," and "pixel tags." We use this information to observe trends and site traffic, administer our sites and improve their usability, and to gain a better understanding of your interests. This information may include, by way of example, the URL from which you just came, the URL to which you next go, your computer browser information, operating system, IP address, and other information about how you use our site.

Aggregate Information

We may aggregate Personal Information, and disclose such information to third parties for a variety of reasons, including for advertising, marketing and promotional purposes. However, if we do this, we will not disclose information in a manner that directly identifies you.

Children

Consistent with the federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without requiring parental consent. Any person who provides their personal information to CTS through this website represents that they are 13 years of age or older.

International Visitors and Customers

Our site is hosted in the United States. If you are visiting from the European Union or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, please note that you are transferring your personal data to the United States which does not have the same data protection laws as the EU or other regions and by providing your personal data you consent to:


  • The use of your personal data for the purposes identified above in accordance with this Privacy Policy; and

  • The transfer of your personal data to the United States as indicated above.


User Access

Users have access to their Personal Information and may update their information on the website.

Commitment to Data Security


CTS upholds a high level of security in connection to protecting its data. Computer systems, equipment, networks, programs, data, and documentation are secured to the extent reasonably practicable using existing technology, as is customary, if not otherwise regulated, in the pharmaceutical research industry. Access to data and equipment is restricted to appropriate staff on a need to know basis.


CTS also makes best efforts to conform its data security policies to the respective national and international data protection and confidentiality regulations governing the performance of clinical research.

Data Integrity

Your personal information collected by CTS, its subsidiaries, affiliates and authorized agents, is used solely for the purposes expressed at the time of collection unless you authorize otherwise. CTS, its subsidiaries, affiliates and authorized agents endeavor to collect and maintain only information that is accurate, complete, and current. 
Generally, an individual that provides identifiable information to CTS has the right to reasonable access to that information. CTS, its subsidiaries, affiliates and authorized agents collect information for the purposes of clinical research and statistical analysis. Clinical research information is collected in a manner that does not contain any individual identifiers in accordance with industry standards. Without any individual identifiers, unauthorized third parties should not have the capability to access the information. If an individual study participant desires access, it can be requested through the investigator or physician from whom the participant received treatment in accordance with customary practices and regulations in the pharmaceutical industry.
