POLICY STATEMENT
Paramount Health Options (“PHO” or “we”) is committed to respecting and protecting the privacy of its website guests. This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes how PHO handles the information that you provide to us on this web site (the “Web Site”). This Privacy Policy applies only to the Web Site, not to any other PHO or third party web sites that may be accessible or linked to from here.
Please be sure to carefully read this Privacy Policy before using the Web Site or submitting information to us. By (a) using any part of the Web Site; or (b) submitting information via the Web Site, you consent to the collection, use and distribution of such information by us for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy may change from time to time and your continued use of the Web Site (following the posting of the revised Privacy Policy) is acceptance of such changes, so please check periodically for updates to this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect From You
Active Information Collection. PHO does not collect personal information about you (like name, email, address, contact information, preferences) unless you voluntarily submit it to us. For example, we may ask you to provide personal information to us to register with the Web Site. Some of this information may be uniquely identified with you, such as your name, business name, address, phone number, email address, etc. We only use this personally identifiable information for the purpose you provide it to us (e.g., sending you information, processing your payment, etc.).
Passive Information Collection. As you utilize the Web Site, certain information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without you actively providing the information) using various technologies and means, such as navigational data collection. Like most web site operators, we track IP addresses during your visit and use session, persistent, and flash cookies and may use any other successor tracker technology. Our system also automatically gathers information about your use of the Web Site and collects operational information about the technology you use, such as your browser, type of computer, operating systems, and Internet service providers.
We passively collect and use information to generate statistics and measure Web Site activity in order to understand what areas of the Web Site are most popular, which areas may require improvement and what technologies our visitors are using. This information helps us to update and improve the Web Site and enhance the usefulness of customer visits. We also collect and use this information for security purposes, to detect and to block security breaches and to provide you with a safe online environment.
We reserve the right to use electronic images known as web beacons, also referred to as single-pixel gifs, and any other successor technology, that permit us to count users who have visited certain Web Site pages and for other related statistics (e.g., recording the popularity of certain Web Site content and verifying system and server integrity).The data collected from your website visit will not be attributed to you as an individual. Rather, it will be aggregated with like data collected from other website guests. We will use the aggregated data in order to understand website usage and to identify upgrades that may make our website more useful to you.
2. How We Use Your Information
We collect and use your personally identifiable information to respond to your requests for information or process your purchases. PHO may disclose your information to our employees in order to process your requests or our business partners in correlation with group purchasing opportunities for the purpose of providing services to you. Our business partners will be given limited access to your information as is reasonably necessary to deliver services to you. We use contractual or other measures to restrict such partners and service providers from using your personally identifiable information in any manner other than as may be necessary to perform their services and to provide a level of security and privacy protection comparable to the security and privacy protection measures we enact regarding your personally identifiable information.
Payments to PHO are made through a secure, independent third party payment processor. PHO will not have access to any credit card numbers with payments made through our website. PHO will be given payment amounts, names, addresses and corresponding information (invoice number, comments, etc.) of the credit card holder for processing internally.
We may send you information about features that we believe you may be interested. We also may use your contact information for marketing and other purposes. If you want to opt-out of these emails, you may click the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of every email or email us directly at Info@ParamountHealthOptions.com.
