- Digest preferences such as selected PV roles, workflows, frequency, and subscription status.
- Basic account and access information, such as session status, trial status, and login timestamps.

Work Email Requirement
PV Bulletin is intended for professional use. We require official work email addresses for subscriptions and access. Public email providers such as Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, Outlook, iCloud, Proton, and similar services may be rejected.
This helps us keep the audience aligned with professional pharmacovigilance, regulatory, and compliance use cases.
Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell or rent subscriber email addresses.
We may share limited information with service providers that help us operate PV Bulletin, such as:
- Email delivery providers used to send OTPs, digest emails, and confirmations.
- Hosting, database, security, logging, and analytics providers.
- Professional advisors, if needed for legal, accounting, security, or compliance purposes.
We may also disclose information if required by law, legal process, or to protect the service and users.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect user information. This includes passwordless access, limited collection, role-based operational access where appropriate, and service-provider controls.
No online system can be guaranteed completely secure. Users should avoid submitting confidential patient data, case narratives, trade secrets, or other sensitive information through general site forms.

PV Bulletin may use cookies or similar browser storage for session management, authentication, basic site operation, and security. We do not store passwords in cookies.
Retention
We keep email, subscription, audit, and account records for as long as needed to provide the service, maintain security, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our terms. We may retain de-identified or aggregated information for analytics and service improvement.
