1. Use and Disclosure of Your Personal Information

   Your Personal Information shall be retained and used only for the purposes for which it has been disclosed by you, to PMRI. If you have indicated that we may do so, PMRI may, from time to time, use your Personal Information to contact you about clinical trials for which you may be eligible.
