INFORMATION COLLECTED AND HOW WE USE IT
What We Collect
Allscripts primary goal in collecting personal information
from you is to give you a meaningful, enjoyable and
customized experience while using our websites and to

relevant to visitors like you. Personal information
also allows us to provide services and features that
most likely meet your needs, and to customize our service

we need to collect information identifying who you are,
your e-mail address and your mailing address. Visitors

you can still access our websites; however, you may
be unable to gain access to certain information.

to the date and time you visited our site, the pages
you visited, the referrer (the website you came from),
the type of browser you are using (e.g. Netscape, Internet
Explorer), the type of operating system you are using
(e.g., Windows '95 or Mac OS), and the domain name and
address of your Internet service provider (e.g., AOL).
Neither the web log information nor cookies collects
any personal information. They do not contain personal
information, such as your name or e-mail address, and
in no way are used to identify our users.

our marketing and promotional efforts; to statistically

offerings; and to customize our sites' content, layout
and services. We may also use your information to deliver
information to you that, in some cases, is targeted
to your interests, new services and promotions. We believe
these uses allow us to improve our site and better tailor
it to meet our visitors' needs Allscripts does not collect
personal information automatically, but we may combine
non-personal information collected automatically (e.g.,
through web log data) with your previously submitted
personal information.
B) Aggregate and Statistical Data
Allscripts uses web log information (such as your web
browser, operating system, pages visited, etc.) to help
us design our website, to identify popular features,
and for other managerial purposes. However, web logs
may be used if necessary to help identify any person
attempting to break into or damage our website. We may
share web log information with law enforcement agencies
if we believe that we have evidence of a violation of
computer security or related laws.

or access our site after 7pm." Occasionally, we

mailing addresses and e-mail addresses) with vendors,
contractors or partners of Allscripts in connection
with services that these individuals or entities perform
for or with Allscripts. These vendors, contractors or
partners are restricted from using this data in any

that acquires Allscripts business or any portion of
the Allscripts business to which your information relates.
