Privacy Policy |
Shalina Healthcare is committed to protecting your privacy. Please read the
Shalina Healthcare Online Privacy Statement below and also any supplemental
information listed to the right for additional details about
particular Shalina Healthcare sites and services that you may use.
This Shalina Healthcare Online Privacy Statement applies to data collected by Shalina Healthcare through
its Web site and services, as well as its offline product support services. It
does not apply to those Shalina Healthcare sites, services and products that do not display
or link to this statement or that have their own privacy statements.
Collection of Your Personal Information
In order to access some Shalina Healthcare services, you will be asked to sign in with a username
and password, which we refer to as your credentials. These credentials may or
may not be valid across the entire website. As part of creating your credentials,
you may also be requested to provide questions and secret answers, which we use
to help verify your identity and assist in resetting your password, as well as
an alternate email address. Some services may require added security, and in
these cases, you may be asked to create an additional security key. Finally,
a unique ID number will be assigned to your credentials which will be used to
identify your credentials and associated information.
At some Shalina Healthcare sites, we ask you to provide personal information, such as your
e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. We may also collect
demographic information, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests
and favorites. If you choose to make a purchase or sign up for a paid subscription
service, we will ask for additional information, such as your credit card number
and billing address, that is used to create a Shalina Healthcare billing account.
We may collect information about your visit, including the pages you view, the
links you click and other actions taken in connection with Shalina Healthcare sites and services.
We also collect certain standard information that your browser sends to every
website you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and language, access
times and referring Web site addresses.
When you receive newsletters or promotional e-mail from Shalina Healthcare , we may use web
beacons (described below ), customized links or similar technologies to determine
whether the e-mail has been opened and which links you click in order to provide
you more focused e-mail communications or other information.
In order to offer you a more consistent and personalized experience in your interactions
with Shalina Healthcare , information collected through one Shalina Healthcare service may be combined
with information obtained through other Shalina Healthcare services. We may also supplement
the information we collect with information obtained from other companies. For
example, we may use services from other companies that enable us to derive a
general geographic area based on your IP address in order to customize certain
services to your geographic area.
Collection of Your Personal Information
Shalina Healthcare collects and uses your personal information to operate and improve its
sites and deliver the services or carry out the transactions you have requested.
These uses may include providing you with more effective customer service; making
the sites or services easier to use by eliminating the need for you to repeatedly
enter the same information; performing research and analysis aimed at improving
our products, services and technologies; and displaying Shalina Healthcare that is customized
to your interests and preferences.
We also use your personal information to communicate with you. We may send certain
mandatory service communications such as welcome letters, billing reminders,
information on technical service issues, and security announcements. Some Shalina Healthcare
services may send periodic member letters that are considered part of the service.
We may also occasionally send you product surveys or promotional mailings to
inform you of other products or services available from Shalina Healthcare and its affiliates.
Personal information collected on Shalina Healthcare sites and services may be stored and
processed in the United States or any other country in which Shalina Healthcare or its affiliates,
subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities, and by using a Shalina Healthcare site or service,
you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country.
Sharing of Your Personal Information
Except as described in this statement, we will not disclose your personal information
outside of Shalina Healthcare and its controlled subsidiaries and affiliates without your
consent. Some Shalina Healthcare services may be co-branded and offered in conjunction with
another company. If you register for or use such services, both Shalina Healthcare and the
other company may receive information collected in conjunction with the co-branded
services.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf,
such as handling the processing and delivery of mailings, providing customer
support, hosting websites, processing transactions, or performing statistical
analysis of our services. Those companies will be permitted to obtain only the
personal information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain
the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using it for any
other purpose.
We may access and/or disclose your personal information if we believe such action
is necessary to: (a) comply with the law or legal process served on Shalina Healthcare ; (b)
protect and defend the rights or property of Shalina Healthcare (including the enforcement
of our agreements); or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal
safety of users of Shalina Healthcare services or members of the public.
Accessing Your Personal Information
You may have the ability to view or edit your personal information online. In
order to help prevent your personal information from being viewed by others,
you will be required to sign in with your credentials (e-mail address and password).
You will be able to access and modify your personal information upon logging
in to the private area of the website.
Some Shalina Healthcare services may collect other personal information that is not accessible
via your account. However, in such cases, you may be able to access that information
through alternative means of access described by the service. Or you can write
us by using our Web form , and we will contact you within 30 days regarding your
request.
Communication Preferences
You can stop the delivery of future promotional e-mail from Shalina Healthcare sites and services
by following the specific instructions in the e-mail you receive.
This does not apply to mandatory service communications that are considered part
of certain Shalina Healthcare services, which you may receive periodically unless you cancel
the service.
Security of Your Personal Information
Shalina Healthcare is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We
use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal
information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store
the personal information you provide on computer systems with limited access,
which are located in controlled facilities. When we transmit highly confidential
information (such as a credit card number or password) over the Internet, we
protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
protocol.
If a password is used to help protect your accounts and personal information,
it is your responsibility to keep your password confidential. Do not share this
information with anyone. If you are sharing a computer with anyone you should
always choose to log out before leaving a site or service to protect access to
your information from subsequent users.
Collection and Use of Children's Personal Information
Many Shalina Healthcare sites and services are intended for general audiences, investors,
prospective customers and do not knowingly collect any personal information from
children. When a Shalina Healthcare site does collect age information, and users identify
themselves as under 13, the site will either block such users from providing
personal information, or will seek to obtain consent from parents for the collection,
use and sharing of their children's personal information. We will not knowingly
ask children under the age of 13 to provide more information than is reasonably
necessary to provide our services.
Please note that if you grant consent for your child to use Shalina Healthcare services, this
will include such general audience communication services as e-mail, instant
messaging, and online groups, and your child will be able to communicate with,
and disclose personal information to, other users of all ages. Parents can change
or revoke the consent choices previously made, and review, edit or request the
deletion of their children's personal information. If we change this privacy
statement in a way that expands the collection, use or disclosure of children's
personal information to which a parent has previously consented, the parent will
be notified and we will be required to obtain the parent's additional consent.
We encourage you to talk with your children about communicating with strangers
and disclosing personal information online.
Use of Cookies
The Shalina Healthcare website use "cookies" to enable you to sign in to our services
and to help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a small text file
that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies contain information
that can later be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to
you. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.
Shalina Healthcare Web sites use cookies to store your preferences and other information on
your computer in order to save you time by eliminating the need to repeatedly
enter the same information and to display your personalized Shalina Healthcare and appropriate
advertising on your later visits to these sites.
When you sign in to a site using your credentials, the Shalina Healthcare /and or its Network
stores your unique ID number, and the time you signed in, in an encrypted cookie
on your hard disk. This cookie allows you to move from page to page at the site
without having to sign in again on each page. When you sign out, these cookies
are deleted from your computer. The Passport Network also uses cookies to improve
the sign in experience. For example, your e-mail address may be stored in a cookie
that will remain on your computer after you sign out. This cookie allows your
e-mail address to be pre-populated, so that you will only need to type your password
the next time you sign in. If you are using a public computer or do not otherwise
want this information to be stored, you can select the appropriate radio button
on the sign-in page, and this cookie will not be used.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically
accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies
if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to sign
in or use other interactive features of Shalina Healthcare sites and services that depend
on cookies.
Use of Web Beacons
Shalina Healthcare Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons - sometimes
called single-pixel gifs - that may be used to assist in delivering cookies on
our sites and allow us to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver
co-branded services. We may include Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages
or our newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and
acted upon.
Shalina Healthcare may also employ Web beacons from third parties in order to help us compile
aggregated statistiShalina Healthcare and determine the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns.
We prohibit Web beacons on our sites from being used by third parties to collect
or access your personal information.
Finally, we may work with other companies to place Web beacons on their sites
in order to allow us to develop statistiShalina Healthcare on how often clicking on an advertisement
on a Shalina Healthcare site results in a purchase or other action on the company's site.
Controlling "Spam" or Unsolicited E-mail
Shalina Healthcare is concerned about controlling unsolicited commercial e-mail, or "spam." Shalina Healthcare
has a strict Anti-Spam Policy prohibiting the use of a Shalina Healthcare e-mail account to
send spam. Shalina Healthcare will not sell, lease or rent its e-mail subscriber lists to
third parties. While Shalina Healthcare continues to actively review and implement new technology,
such as expanded filtering features, there is no currently available technology
that will totally prevent the sending and receiving of unsolicited e-mail. Using
tools such as the Inbox Protector and being cautious about the sharing of your
e-mail address while online will help reduce the amount of unsolicited e-mail
you receive.
Changes to This Privacy Statement
We will occasionally update this privacy statement to reflect changes in our
services and customer feedback. When we post changes to this Statement, we will
revise the "last updated" date at the top of this statement. If there
are material changes to this statement or in how Shalina Healthcare will use your personal
information, we will notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such
changes prior to implementing the change or by directly sending you a notification.
We encourage you to periodically review this statement to be informed of how
Shalina Healthcare is protecting your information.
