Pfizer pyytää julkistamista koskevat suostumukset suoraan tapahtumaan osallistujiksi nimetyiltä henkilöiltä. Jos suostumusta ei anneta, tiedot julkaistaan saajaa yksilöimättä siten, ettei yksittäinen etuuden vastaanottaja ole tunnistettavissa. Tiedot annetuista taloudellisista etuuksista kerätään kalenterivuosittain ja julkaistaan seuraavan vuoden kesäkuun loppuun mennessä.
