630 - We have a question regarding controlled distribution/gating of a website containing information intended for HCPs. We understand that options for creating an acceptable barrier include "URL of a website which is not indexed" (as presented during Jennifer Carroll's talk "From Email to Virtual Reality" during PAAB's 2017 National Workshop). However, we are unable to find any further information from PAAB or from Health Canada regarding what "not indexed" means in this context. Can you please elaborate, or point us to guidance documentation outlining what "not indexed" means for a site's URL, in order to create an acceptable barrier for the site?

Please see ask PAAB question 418. As additional guidance, keep in mind the url should be something that is NOT easily guessed (i.e. www.productname.ca) and is submitted to PAAB as part of the website review. Please contact your IT department for specific instructions on how to de-index your website.
