Privacy Statement
Privacy Statement
EFFECTIVE AS OF June 26, 2008
________________________________________
EpiHelp realizes that our website, www.EpiHelp.com (the “Site”), can only work if we build trust with our communities. This Privacy Policy discloses how we collect, use and share information we gather about you on our Site and the choices you have regarding our use of and your ability to correct the information.
Information Collected Online, personally identifiable information
Most of the information provided by EpiHelp is offered without our collecting any personally identifiable information from you. In order to maximize your experience and to provide you with enhanced information and services, however, EpiHelp collects personally identifiable information (e.g., name, e-mail address, etc.) and demographic data (e.g., zip code, gender, birth date, interests, etc.) that you voluntarily supply to us.
Some examples of instances when we collect personally identifiable information include when you:
• Complete a survey
• Register to receive our Newsletter
• Register to get access to our Investor Relations Site
• Send us an e-mail message
• Submit a comment, blog or article
Thus, you have a choice as to whether to provide your personally identifiable information. Although you are not required to disclose any personally identifiable information to us, portions of our Web site and other specialized services may be unavailable to you without such information.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information you provide in a limited number of ways. We may use the information to service your account, conduct a transaction that you have requested, display information and advertisements that match your interests and profile, notify you if you've won a contest or sweepstakes and compile demographic statistics about our users. We may on occasion combine information about you that we have with information we obtain from other parties to enhance our ability to market to you those products or services that may be of interest to you.
How We Share Your Information
One of the most valuable assets of our business is you. EpiHelp does not rent, sell or share personally identifiable information about you with other people or nonaffiliated companies except as described below.
Third-Party Processors
When you submit your personal information on our Web site, it may be shared with a selected third party ("Third Party Processors"). These Third Party Processors may include, for example, companies that operate online stores and companies that handle shipping for EpiHelp. These Third Party Processors may organize, administer, process, and/or analyze data on our behalf to help us provide more relevant offers to you and to eliminate the delivery of duplicate offers. In addition, these Third Party Processors correct and/or update users' data based on information we provide them.
The data we provide to Third Party Processors is securely stored and maintained by them so that it can be accessed when needed for future purposes. Further, all such Third Party Processors are contractually bound by us to keep the information confidential. All information provided to Third Party Processors is used by them only to carry out the service they are providing for EpiHelp
Links to Other Web Sites
Like many Web sites on the Internet, EpiHelp links to pages located on Web sites maintained by various other entities not bound by our Privacy Policy. In some cases you may link to pages of other Web sites that are framed with elements of EpiHelp.com such as in the header or footer. The URL will identify the site you are visiting. We are not responsible for the information collection practices of other Web sites. The Privacy Policies of other organizations may differ from ours, for example, with respect to the level of security, use of cookies, and collection, use and disclosure of personally identifiable information
Other Limitations on Privacy
We may provide personally identifiable information without your permission (i) pursuant to judicial or other government subpoenas, warrants, or orders; (ii) where EpiHelp believes our property or an individual's safety or security is at risk; iii) if we find that your actions violate our Legal Restrictions and Terms of Use; or iv) where otherwise required by law
IP Addresses and Cookies
EpiHelp and Third Party Processors acting on our behalf uses various Internet technologies which help us to manage our site operations and track usage behavior so that we can tailor information and advertisements to make your visits more enjoyable and meaningful. These Internet technologies include:
• IP Addresses: random numbers assigned to individual computers which EpiHelp uses to administer our Web site and help diagnose problems with our servers.
• Cookies: small electronic files transferred from our Web site to your hard drive. Cookies enable EpiHelp to recognize repeat visitors, track usage behavior and facilitate your access to and use of our site. If you wish, you can choose to have your computer warn you each time a Cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all Cookies. You can do this by resetting your browser (such as Mozilla, FireFox or Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your Cookies. If you turn Cookies off, however, you won't have access to many of the features which make your experience more efficient and some of our services will not function properly.
Information that is collected via IP Address, Cookie and other technologies is not personally identifiable. However, if you choose to provide EpiHelp with personally identifiable information, this information may be linked to the data stored in these technologies. In addition, we may share aggregate (not individual) site usage statistics and demographic information and other non-personally identifiable information with advertisers and other third parties, but this information will not include any personally identifiable information. Personal information about you as an individual will not be provided to any third party without your consent, except under the circumstances described above in the "Third Party Processors" and "Other Limitations on Privacy" sections.
Children's Privacy
EpiHelp is committed to protecting the safety and privacy of young people using the Internet. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 and believe that children should get their parents' or guardians' consent before giving out any personally identifiable information.
Our Web site may contain links to third party Web sites geared to children. The linked sites are not under the control of EpiHelp. We are not responsible for the contents of any linked site or any link contained in a linked site, nor are we responsible for the privacy practices of the operators of those sites with respect to children. We strongly encourage parents and guardians to review the Privacy Policies of all linked sites.
Our Commitment to Security
Keeping the information you provide to EpiHelp secure is important to us. We have put in place appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures designed to protect and safeguard your data. Of course, although EpiHelp uses standard industry practices to protect your personally identifiable information, we cannot guarantee that your communications with our site will never be unlawfully intercepted, or that your personally identifiable information will never be unlawfully accessed by third parties.
Changes to the Privacy Policy
EpiHelp reserves the right to alter our Privacy Policy as business needs require. If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes here so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information and whether we will disclose it to anyone. All changes to this policy will be posted on our Web site prior to the time they take effect. In the event that we make material changes to the way we use personally identifiable information, affected consumers will be notified via e-mail and will be given the opportunity to opt-out.
