Privacy Policy
Welcome
Welcome to SMARTcare™! This platform is owned by SMARTcare, Inc. This Privacy
Policy is designed to tell you about our practices regarding collection, use,
and disclosure of information that you may provide via this site. Please be sure
to read this entire Privacy Policy before using or submitting information to
this site. This site is intended for use by residents of the United States.
Your
Consent
By using this site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. Whenever you
submit information via this site, you consent to the collection, use, and
disclosure of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
About
Children
This site is not intended for children under the age of 13. We will not
knowingly collect personally identifiable information via this site from
visitors in this age group. We encourage parents to talk to their children
about their use of the Internet and the information they disclose to Web sites.
Information
You Provide
Some areas of this site may ask you to submit personally identifiable
information in order for you to benefit from the specified features (such as
newsletter subscriptions and coupons) or to participate in a particular
activity (such as sweepstakes or other promotions). You will be informed what
information is required and what information is optional.
Passive
Information Collection
As you navigate through this site, certain anonymous information can be
passively collected (that is, gathered without you actively providing the
information) using various technologies, such as cookies, Internet tags or web
beacons, and navigational data collection (log files, server logs,
clickstream). Your Internet browser automatically transmits to this site some
of this anonymous information, such as the URL of the Web site you just came
from and the Internet Protocol (IP) address and the browser version your
computer is currently using. This site may also collect anonymous information
from your computer through cookies and Internet tags or web beacons. You may
set your browser to notify you when a cookie is sent or to refuse cookies
altogether, but certain features of this site might not work without cookies.
This site may use and combine such passively collected anonymous
information to provide better service to site visitors, customize the site
based on your preferences, compile and analyze statistics and trends, and
otherwise administer and improve the site for your use. Such information is not
combined with personally identifiable information collected elsewhere on the
site unless you have consented.
Cookies
A "cookie" is a bit of information that a Web site sends to your Web
browser that helps the site remember information about you and your
preferences.
“Session” cookies are temporary bits of information that are used
to improve navigation, block visitors from providing information where
inappropriate (the site “remembers” previous entries of age or country of
origin that were outside the specified parameters and blocks subsequent
changes), and collect aggregate statistical information on the site. They are
erased once you exit your Web browser or otherwise turn off your computer.
"Persistent" cookies are more permanent bits of
information that are placed on the hard drive of your computer and stay there unless
you delete the cookie. Persistent cookies store information on your computer
for a number of purposes, such as retrieving certain information you have
previously provided (such as passwords), helping to determine what areas of the
Web site visitors find most valuable, and customizing the Web site based on
your preferences on an ongoing basis. Persistent cookies placed by this site on
your computer may hold personally identifiable information, but only if you
have registered or have otherwise consented to the retention of personally
identifiable information you have provided at the site. Otherwise, our site’s
server only knows that an unidentified visitor with your cookie has returned to
the site.
You can set your browser to accept all cookies, to reject all
cookies, or to notify you whenever a cookie is offered so that you can decide
each time whether to accept it. To learn more about cookies and how to specify
your preferences, please search for "cookie" in the “Help” portion of
your browser.
A site may use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. An IP address is
a number assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider so you can
access the Internet and is generally considered to be non-personally
identifiable information, because in most cases an IP address is dynamic
(changing each time you connect to the Internet), rather than static (unique to
a particular user's computer). The IP address can be used to diagnose problems
with a server, report aggregate information, determine the fastest route for
your computer to use in connecting to a site, and administer and improve the
site.
"Internet tags" (also known as single-pixel GIFs, clear
GIFs, invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies and tell the
Web site server information such as the IP address and browser type related to
the visitor's computer. Tags may be placed both on online advertisements that
bring people to the site and on different pages of the site. Such tags indicate
how many times a page is opened and which information is consulted.
"Navigational data" (log files, server logs, and
clickstream data) are used for system management, to improve the content of the
site, market research purposes, and to communicate information to visitors.
Use
and Disclosure of Information
Except as otherwise stated, we may use information collected via this site to
improve the content of our site, to customize the site to your preferences, to
communicate information to you (if you have requested it), for our marketing
and research purposes, and for any other purpose specified. In addition, we may
make full use of all information acquired through this site that is not in
personally identifiable form.
If you provide personally identifiable information to this site,
we may combine such information with other actively collected information
unless we specify otherwise at the point of collection. We may disclose
personally identifiable information you provide via this site to third parties,
but only:
1. to contractors we use to support our business (such as
fulfillment services, technical support, delivery services, and financial
institutions), in which case we will require such third parties to agree to
treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy and use it for the same
purposes;
2. in connection with the sale, assignment, or other transfer of
the business of this site to which the information relates, in which case we
will require any such buyer to agree to treat it in accordance with this
Privacy Policy and use it for the same purposes; or
3. to respond to law enforcement requests or where required by
applicable laws, court orders, or government regulations.
The collection, use, and disclosure of information contemplated in
this Privacy Policy may involve a transfer of the information to jurisdictions
located outside your country of residence that may not have equivalent laws and
rules regarding personally identifiable information. In these cases, you will
be asked to consent to such transfers and disclosures in accordance with this
Privacy Policy.
Access,
Correction, and Deletion
To keep personally identifiable information that you provide via this site
accurate, current, and complete, please contact us as specified below and we
will take appropriate steps to update or correct such information in our
possession, or to delete your information from our contact list.
Security
This site takes reasonable steps to protect personally identifiable information
as you transmit it to our site and to protect such information from loss,
misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. You
should keep in mind that no Internet transmission is ever completely secure or
error-free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from this site may not be secure.
Links
to Other Web Sites
This site may contain links or references to other Web sites to which this
Privacy Policy does not apply. We encourage you to read the Privacy Policy of
every Web site you visit.
Changes
to This Privacy Policy
If this Privacy Policy changes, the revised policy will be posted on this site.
Please check back periodically, and especially before you provide any
personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy was last updated on
June 30, 2010.
