Healthoid operates Healthoid.com. It is Healthoid’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Healthoid collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Healthoid’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Healthoid’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Healthoid may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Healthoid also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Healthoid does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Healthoid’s websites choose to interact with Healthoid in ways that require Healthoid to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Healthoid gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up forum account at Healthoid.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Healthoid are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Healthoid collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Healthoid. Healthoid does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
Healthoid may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Healthoid may monitor the most popular posts on the Healthoid.com site. Healthoid may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Healthoid does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Healthoid discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Healthoid’s behalf or to provide services available at Healthoid’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Healthoid’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Healthoid will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Healthoid discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Healthoid believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Healthoid, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Healthoid website and have supplied your email address, Healthoid may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Healthoid and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Healthoid takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
