Privacy Policy
Thank you for visiting the web site of
MedQuest Associates, Inc. We are very concerned about your privacy and we
want you to feel comfortable about any personal information that you might
furnish while accessing this site.
Information
Collected
In general, you can visit this web site
without telling us who you are or revealing any information about
yourself. Our web servers collect the domain names, not the e-mail
addresses, of visitors. Our web servers also seek (as many web sites do)
to place a "cookie" (a small data file) on your computer's hard drive that
allows the server to identify the computer when it visits again, in order
to track statistical information about navigation to and throughout
certain areas of our site. This cookie is not used to obtain your name or
any personal data, and the information that is tracked is used only for
internal purposes, such as to improve site navigation, and is not shared
with anyone other than MedQuest affiliates and contractors who assist
MedQuest in these efforts and are bound to confidentiality. However, if
you prefer not to accept cookies, you can set your browser to reject them
or to alert you before one is placed.
In addition, there are portions of
this site where we may need to collect personal information from you for a
specific purpose, such as to provide you with certain information you
request. The information collected from you may include your name,
address, telephone, fax number or e-mail address. We do not use
information that you provide to send unsolicited e-mails, or otherwise
contact you unless you send us an e-mail requesting that we do so. Nor do
we sell or otherwise intentionally share lists of users who have contacted
us. However, we cannot provide any assurance that visitor information
provided to our site cannot or will not be accessed or known by a third
party who might "hack" into our site.
This site is not intended for
persons under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly solicit or collect
personal information from or about children, and we do not knowingly
market products or services to children.
Use of Collected
Information
Domain name information that we collect is
not used to personally identify you, but is instead aggregated to measure
the number of visits, average time spent on the site, pages viewed, etc.
We use this information to measure the use of our site and to improve the
content of our site.
When other information is
collected from you, such as your name and e-mail address, we generally let
you know at the time of collection how we will use the personal
information. Usually, we use the personal information you provide only to
respond to your inquiry or to process your request. This information may
be shared with other MedQuest subsidiaries or affiliates, but only if
necessary to fulfill your request or for related purposes.
We may share the personal
information you provide with other companies we have hired to provide
services for us. These companies - our vendors - are contractually bound
to use personal information we share with them only to perform the
services we have hired them to provide. We do not share, sell or lease
personal information about you to any third-parties for their marketing
use. We will release information about you if you direct us to do so, if
we are required by law to do so, or in other legally limited circumstances
(for example, to protect your account from fraud).
Links to Other
Sites
Our site may contain links to other sites.
While we try to link only to sites that share our high standards and
respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the content, security or
privacy practices employed by other sites.
Security of
Collected Information
We maintain reasonable physical, electronic
and administrative safeguards to protect your personal information from
unauthorized or inappropriate access. Messages that you send to us via
e-mail, however, may not be secure. If you choose to send us confidential
information via e-mail, you accept the risk that a third party may
intercept such information.

Collected Information
You may review and update the information
that you provide to us through this web site by contacting us as described
below.

policy, please use this link. We welcome your

Policy
Please check this privacy policy
periodically to inform yourself of any changes. Although we reserve the
right to modify or supplement this privacy policy, we will provide notice
to you on this web site of any major changes for a reasonable amount of
time following the change.
General
This
privacy statement applies solely to this web site, which is not intended
to include any personally identifiable medical information. We request
that you not put any personally identifiable medical information in any
e-mail or otherwise that will be processed through this site.
