Privacy Policy
Welcome
Welcome to Discovernursing.com! This site is owned
by Johnson & Johnson Services, Inc. This Privacy Policy
is designed to tell you about our practices regarding
collection, use, and disclosure of information that you may
provide via this site. Please be sure to read this entire
Privacy Policy before using or submitting information to this
site. This site is intended for use by residents of
the United States.
Your
Consent
By using this
site, you agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Whenever you submit information via this site, you consent to
the collection, use, and disclosure of that information in
accordance with this Privacy Policy.
About
Children
This site is not
intended for children under the age of 13. We will not
knowingly collect information from site visitors in this age
group. We encourage parents to talk to their children about
their use of the Internet and the information they disclose
to Web sites.
Active Information
Collection
Like many Web sites,
this site actively collects information from its visitors both by
asking you specific questions and by permitting you to communicate
directly with us via e-mail, feedback forms, and/or chat rooms.
Some of the information that you submit may be personally
identifiable information (that is, information that can be uniquely
identified with you, such as your full name, address, e-mail
address, phone number, and so on).
Some areas of this site may require you to submit information in
order for you to benefit from the specified features (such as
newsletter subscriptions, tips/pointers, order processing) or to
participate in a particular activity (such as sweepstakes or other
promotions). You will be informed at each information collection
point what information is required and what information is
optional.
Passive Information
Collection
As you navigate
through a Web site, certain information can be passively collected
(that is, gathered without your actively providing the information)
using various technologies and means, such as Internet Protocol
addresses, cookies, Internet tags, and navigational data
collection.
We use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses on this site. An IP
Address is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet
service provider so you can access the Internet and is generally
considered to be non-personally identifiable information, because
in most cases an IP address is dynamic (changing each time you
connect to the Internet), rather than static (unique to a
particular user’s computer). We use your IP address to diagnose
problems with our server, report aggregate information, determine
the fastest route for your computer to use in connecting to our
site, and administer and improve the site.
A "cookie" is a bit of information that a Web site sends to
your Web browser that helps the site remember information about you
and your preferences
"Session" cookies are temporary bits of information that are erased
once you exit your Web browser window or otherwise turn your
computer off. Session cookies are used to improve navigation on Web
sites and to collect aggregate statistical information. This site
uses session cookies.
"Persistent" cookies are more permanent bits of information that
are placed on the hard drive of your computer and stay there unless
you delete the cookie. Persistent cookies store information on your
computer for a number of purposes, such as retrieving certain
information you have previously provided (e.g., passwords), helping
to determine what areas of the Web site visitors find most
valuable, and customizing the Web site based on your preferences.
This site uses persistent cookies.
"Internet tags" (also known as single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs,
invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies and tell
the Web site server information such as the IP address and browser
type related to the visitor's computer. We use Internet tags at
this site. Tags have been placed both on online advertisements that
bring people to the site and on different pages of the site. These
tags indicate how many times a page is opened and which information
is consulted. We do not collect or seek personally identifiable
information through these tags.
"Navigational data" ("log files," "server logs," and
"clickstream" data) are used for system management, to improve the
content of the site, market research purposes, and to communicate
information to visitors. This site uses navigational
data.
Use and Disclosure of
Information
Except as otherwise
stated, we may use your information to improve the content of our
site, to customize the site to your preferences, to communicate
information to you (if you have requested it), for our marketing
and research purposes, and for the purposes specified in this
Privacy Policy.
If you provide personally identifiable information to this site, we
may combine such information with other actively collected
information unless we specify otherwise at the point of collection.
We will take reasonable measures to prevent personally identifiable
information from being combined with passively collected
information, unless you consent otherwise.
We may disclose your personally identifiable information to other
Johnson & Johnson affiliates worldwide that agree to treat it
in accordance with this Privacy Policy. In addition, we may
disclose your personally identifiable information to third parties,
located in the United States and/or any other country, but only
(i) to contractors we use to support our business (e.g.,
fulfillment services, technical support, delivery services, and
financial institutions), in which case we will require such third
parties to agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy
Policy;
(ii) in connection with the sale, assignment, or other transfer of
the business of this site to which the information relates, in
which case we will require any such buyer to agree to treat it in
accordance with this Privacy Policy; or
(iii) where required by applicable laws, court orders, or
government regulations.
In addition, we will make full use of all information acquired
through this site that is not in personally identifiable
form.

Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your
personally identifiable information as you transmit your
information from your computer to our site and to protect such
information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure,
alteration, or destruction. You should keep in mind that no
Internet transmission is ever 100% secure or error-free. In
particular, e-mail sent to or from this site may not be secure, and
you should therefore take special care in deciding what information
you send to us via e-mail. Moreover, where you use passwords, ID
numbers, or other special access features on this site, it is your
responsibility to safeguard them.

Sites
This site may contain
links or references to other Web sites. Please be aware that we do
not control other Web sites and that, in any case, this Privacy
Policy does not apply to those Web sites. We encourage you to read
the privacy policy of every Web site you visit.
Other
Terms
Your use of this
site is subject to our Legal Notice.
