At various places on our website, such as in our shopping cart or a variety of online forms, we may ask that you provide us with "personal information," such as your name, email address, mailing and shipping addresses, home or work telephone number, and/or credit card information. You will always recognize when we are gathering personal information, because we only accumulate personal information when you willingly submit it to us through our online forms and shopping cart. Although you do not have to offer us any information to visit our website, you may not be able to fully benefit from all of the services on our website if you choose not to provide certain information. If you do choose to give us personal information through our website, we will gather and preserve that information.

When you use our website, we may also collect "non-personal information," which is information that, alone, cannot be used to associate or contact you, such as demographic information (your age, gender, profession, zip code, income, education, etc.). Non-personal information may also include specialized information, such as your IP address, the style of browser you are using, the website you visit directly before and directly after you visit our website, and other unidentified data involving your use of our website. Non-personal information may also include information that you supply us through your use of our website.

We gather personal information from you when you buy products from our online order process. For instance, we require you to offer your name, contact information, shipping and billing address and a credit card number before we handle your orders. We also gather information about your transactions with us. We may utilize the information that you offer to communicate with you about products purchased through our online service, to provide customer support in connection with those products.

We use "cookies" to improve your visits to our website. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computers hard drive. Cookies do not store personal information about you, unless you knowingly provide it. Cookies can store non-personal information, such as what website or pages your browser has accessed. We use cookies to store information and personalize your experience with our website. For example, cookies allow our website to recognize your browser as a previous visitor, and thus save and remember any preferences that may have been set while you were previously browsing our website. Our cookies can also store information you have placed in a "shopping cart." You do have control over cookies. Most browsers can be set to inform you when a cookie is being put on your computer. Most browsers can also be set to decline cookies, although this may affect your Internet experience. You can also erase cookies that are already on your computer.

We use your personal information to provide you the services that you may request or require, to communicate with you, and/or to allow you to make purchases. We use accumulated non-personal information about our users to understand our websites demographics, such as the geographic distribution of our users, the age ranges of our users, or a combination of these or other demographics. We use the non-personal information we gather to analyze how our website is being used, and to improve the content of our website, online product offerings, and promotional efforts.

If you send us an email with questions or comments, we may use your personal information to respond to your questions or comments, and we may save your questions or comments for future reference. However, aside from our reply to such an email, it is not our standard practice to send you an email unless you request a particular service that involves email communications, or in order to provide customer support in connection with our products. There may be times when you will have the opportunity to subscribe to an email list or electronic newsletter that will send information about our website to your email address. However, we will provide you with the option to change your preferences and opt-out of receiving those communications.

If you make a purchase through our online ordering service, we may use the information you provide to send you important announcements and updates regarding our website or online service. In those instances, we will provide you with the option to change your preferences and opt-out of receiving those communications. When you provide us with your personal information to make a purchase through our online ordering, we only use this information to process your online order and credit card number. We also use your address and billing information to bill you and provide associated support.

Except as specifically set forth in this Policy, we do not share your personal information with any non-affiliated third party without your permission. We may disclose collected information, such as demographic information, and our statistical analyses to third parties. This gathered information does not include your personal information. Our website may contain links to other website. We have no control over the privacy practices or the content of other website to which we provide links from our website. You should check the applicable privacy policy of the third-party website when linking to other websites.

We sometimes engage unaffiliated businesses to assist us in providing you certain services. For example, we may hire a shipping company to help us deliver our products or services to you. In those instances, we may need to share your personal information with them. We require these companies to use your personal information only to provide the particular product or service and do not authorize them to use your personal information for any other reason.

We may disclose personal information when we are required or requested to do so by law, court order or other government or law enforcement authority or regulatory agency; to enforce or apply our rights and agreements; or when we believe in good faith that disclosing this information is necessary or advisable, including, for example, to protect the rights, property, or safety of QuickMedical.com, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

The security of your personal information is important to us. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to secure your personal information. This website takes every precaution to protect our users information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line. When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry, SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). The site employs SSL via a digital certificate issued by VeriSign SSL Certificate from Symantec. In addition, McAfee Secure scans our site daily to ensure our safety against outside attacks.

Any questions you may have regarding our Privacy Policy, the accuracy of your personal information or the use of your personal information, or any requests that we correct, update, or remove your information in our databases, should be directed via email to customer service. After receiving a request to change your information, we will make reasonable efforts to ensure that all of your personal information stored in databases we actively use to operate our website will be updated, corrected, changed or deleted, as appropriate, as soon as reasonably practicable. However, we reserve the right to retain in our archival files any information we remove from or change in our active website databases. We may retain such information to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our terms of use.

This policy is effective as of January 1, 2000. We reserve the right to change this privacy policy at any time, and will post any changes to the policy as soon as they go into effect. Please refer back to the QuickMedical Privacy Policy to view any changes or updates.
