The intent of this privacy policy is to detail the
information Medi-Smart may gather about individuals who visit our web site,
how that information is used, and Medi-Smart's disclosure practices.
Medi-Smart is strongly committed to protecting the privacy of its user
community. We use a state of the art e-commerce team which includes security
experts dedicated to protecting your information using the most advanced
technology available.
Site Usage Information
Medi-Smart gathers "site usage" information from all visitors to
the site. Such data is used in the aggregate, to help determine general
usage patterns and fine tune layout in order to assure that our site is as
useful and enjoyable as possible. This "site usage" and
statistical information is for internal purposes only and will never be
sold, given, or offered to outside parties.
Please note that Medi-Smart does not control all HTML served in conjunction
with its site. Our site includes content from other parties that may perform
user activity tracking other than that described herein. In particular, some
of our partners may use "cookies" in ways that we
do not.
The Security Technology We Use To Protect Your Private Information
We use state-of-the-art technology to protect your data from unauthorized
third parties. Medi-Smart uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) software to protect
your data and secure your transactions. SSL encrypts all your personal
information, including your credit card number, name and address as it is
transmitted over the Internet. Read more in our Security Section.
The Information We Gather
When you purchase products from us, we need to know your name, email
address, credit card number and expiration date, and billing and shipping
addresses.
We gather traffic patterns and site usage information to help us develop
the design and layout of the site and to personalize your shopping
experience. As a standard practice, Medi-Smart assigns a random number to
each user for anonymously tracking content preferences and traffic patterns.
This random number lets us keep track of how many times customers are doing
specific things, like visiting our site each month, without really knowing
who those customers are. This random number is kept in a file on your
computer, and is called a "cookie." Cookies, by themselves, cannot
be used to determine the identity of any user.
How We Use the Information
Medi-Smart is always trying to provide you with a compelling reason to
return to our site. We monitor customer traffic patterns and try to analyze
what our customers like and don't like about our current offerings, so that
we can design better services for you.
All personally identifiable information that you provide to us will be used
to process your order and to offer you a customized and valuable user
experience.
Medi-Smart reserves the right to access and disclose individually
identifiable information to comply with applicable laws and lawful
government requests, to operate its systems properly or to protect itself or
its users. Where practical, Medi-Smart will attempt to obtain the prior
consent of the individual prior to disclosing individually identifiable
information.
