Why does WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES need my personal information?

In order to provide our Users with a more personalized, relevant, and intelligent service, WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES regularly makes improvements to this Site. The collection of personal data greatly assists WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES in this improvement process by identifying the interests and needs of the many Users to this Site. Data collection also assists WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES by allowing it and its affiliates to advertise its products and/or services in a more efficient manner.

Although WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES' primary goal in collecting personal information is to deliver a customized and personalized service to you, with permission, WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES also uses the personal information it collects to (i) send Users e-mail notification of new features or information available through the Site or that WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES otherwise feels might be of interest to Users of this Site and (ii) allow third party advertisers and retailers, and their affiliates, offering goods or services that WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES thinks might be of interest to Users of this Site to deliver to you relevant information and offers. WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES also collects IP addresses, or the location of your computer on the Internet, for systems administration and troubleshooting purposes, and to report aggregate information to our advertisers and others.

How and what information does WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES gather or track?

Through the use of "cookies" (as described below) and on-line data entry, survey, product purchase and registration forms, WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES may collect and/or monitor, in aggregate and individual form, personal identifying facts or data on, among other things, the following information:

WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES gathers most of the personal information it collects on its Users during an initial voluntary registration process. Although some of the personal identifying information is necessary for WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES to deliver some of its valuable services, all of the information collected is optional with respect to use of this Site. Accordingly, Users can determine to a large extent what information they wish to submit on a voluntary basis to WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES.

In addition to the initial voluntary registration process, WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES occasionally asks Users for personal information at other times, including when they complete optional survey forms or fill out optional contact forms for additional information on particular products and services. In addition, Users are required to submit personal information to WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES when purchasing certain products on the Site.

"Cookies"

"Cookies" are small pieces of information that are stored by your web browser software on your computer's hard drive or temporarily in your computer's memory. The use of cookies is now an industry standard, and Users will find them on most major web sites.

WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES may place and store Internet cookies on a User's hard drive. Cookies can save any of the types of information noted above. Cookies enable WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES to personalize the viewing experience of a User of this Site. When the User revisits this Site, WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES can recognize the User by the cookie and customize the User's experience at this Site accordingly. For example, WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES uses cookies to recognize User access privileges to this Site, track Site usage and traffic patterns, add advertisements for goods or services of interest, and estimate this Site's audience size. WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES also uses cookies to store User names and passwords that are supplied at registration. If WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES utilizes cookies in connection with the collection of information for third parties, i.e., advertisers, the relevant advertiser(s) may receive electronic notification when a User views the advertisement.

Although most web browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, if you prefer, a User may decline the placement of a cookie on his or her hard drive by using the appropriate feature(s) of one's web browser software (if available) to delete the cookie. Users should understand, however, that certain areas within this Site may not function properly if the web browser will not accept cookies.

What about external web sites?

To the extent hyperlinks are utilized to access third party sites, Users should be aware that these third party web sites are not controlled by WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES and, therefore, are not subject to this Privacy Policy. Users should check the privacy policies of these individual sites to see how their personal information will be utilized by the proprietors of those third party web sites.

What does WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES do to keep this Site secure?

WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES has implemented a number of security features throughout the Site to prevent the unauthorized release of or access to personal information. For example, WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES grants access to any stored personal information WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES may collect on its Users only to authorized personnel. Moreover, when a User registers on-line or accesses his or her account information through this Site, WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES offers the User the ability to use a secure server. The secure server encrypts all information a User inputs before it is sent to WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES.

Please be advised, however, that although WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES has endeavored to create a secure and reliable Site for its Users, the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to/from WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES via this Site or E-mail cannot be guaranteed. When disclosing any personal information, all Users should remain mindful of the fact that it is potentially accessible to the public, and consequently, can be collected and used by others without User consent. Accordingly, Users should consider carefully if they want to submit sensitive information that they would not want disclosed to the public and should recognize that their use of the Internet and this Site is solely at their own risk. Users, alone, are ultimately responsible for maintaining the secrecy of their personal information. WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES has no responsibility or liability for the security of personal information transmitted via the Internet. WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES urges all of its Users to be careful and responsible whenever they are on-line.

Can I opt-out of WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES's data collection and/or distribution?

As noted earlier, the collection, use, and distribution of personal data greatly assist WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES in creating a more, personalized, relevant, and intelligent service. Without the use of personal data, WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES could not deliver its valuable content and services in the most beneficial way. Consequently, WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES does ask for the submission of some personal data, although such submission is not required to use the Site.

At this time, WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES does not offer Users of this Site the ability to "opt-out" of having their data used as described in this Privacy Policy once they have provided information to WORLD MEDICAL RESOURCES. However, as discussed above, registration and provision of personal information is voluntary.
