Privacy Statement
Medical Graphics Corporation ("MedGraphics", "we",
"our") values our relationship with you and the other users
of our web site (the "Site") and the services, information
and products offered on it (the "MedGraphics Services"). We
recognize that you may be concerned about our collection, use, and disclosure
of your personally identifiable information ("Personal Information")
that we may collect when you use the Site and the MedGraphics Services.
Accordingly, we have implemented this Privacy Statement to inform you
of the information that we collect from you, how we collect this information,
and what we do with it after we collect it.
The Type of Information We Collect
Personal Information. We collect Personal Information from you. As
explained above, Personal Information is information that can be used
to identify you individually, such as your name, business name, mailing
address, phone number, e-mail address, credit card number, and financial
information.
Non-Personal Information. We also collect "non-personal"
information from you. This information ("Non-Personal Information")
cannot be easily used to personally identify you, such as your browser
type, the URL of the previous web site you visited, your ISP, operating
system, and your IP Address.
How and When We Collect This Information
Providing Information to Us. We collect Personal Information from you
when you provide it to us. For example, if you purchase a product or
service sold through our Site, we collect your name, mailing address,
telephone number, credit card number, and email address. If you sign
up to receive a newsletter, we will collect your email address. If you
request information we collect your name, email address, and other information
you provide.
Communications With Us. If you communicate with us regarding our Services,
we will collect any information that you provide to us in any such communication.
Analytic and Reporting Technologies. Like the operators of most web
sites, we use analytic and reporting technologies to record Non-Personal
Information such as Internet domain and host names, Internet protocol
(IP) addresses, browser software and operating system types, clickstream
patterns, and the dates and times that the Site and the MedGraphics
Services are accessed.
How We Use The Information We Gather
Personal Information. We use Personal Information primarily for our
own internal purposes, such as providing, maintaining, evaluating, and
improving our sales, services and our Site.
Non-Personal Information. We use non-personal information to track
your Use of the Site and for other internal purposes, particularly providing,
maintaining, evaluating, and improving our Site.
Does MedGraphics Protect My Personal Information?
Whenever we obtain your Personal Information, we use commercially reasonable
efforts to protect it from unauthorized access or disclosure. However,
we are not insurers of the security of your Personal Information. Accordingly,
we assume no liability for any disclosure of data due to errors in transmission,
unauthorized third party access or other acts of third parties, or acts
or omissions beyond our reasonable control.
Confidentiality and Transmissions over the Internet
The security and confidentiality of your personal information is important
to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the
personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once
we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method
of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we
strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal
information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Accordingly,
we do not assume any liability for any damage you may experience or
costs you may incur as a result of any transmissions over the Internet
or other publicly accessible networks, such as, but not limited to,
transmissions involving the exchange of e-mail and credit card numbers
with us (including those which may contain your personal information).
While we will take commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard the
privacy of the information you provide us and treat such information
in accordance with this Privacy Statement, in no event will the information
you provide to us be deemed to be confidential, create any fiduciary
obligations to you on our part, or result in any liability to you on
our part in the event that such information is inadvertently released
by us or accessed by third parties without our consent.
When Do We Disclose Your Information to Third Parties
Generally speaking, we do not disclose your information to third parties.
In some instances, however, we reserve the right to do so because it
is necessary to the operation and continued growth of our business or
to protect the rights of others. You understand and agree that we are
not required to provide you with advance notice and do not require your
consent to make such disclosure. These instances are discussed below:
Disclosure to Successors. We may disclose your Personal Information
to any successor-in-interest of ours, such as, but not limited to, a
company that acquires us.
Disclosure to Unaffiliated Third Parties. We may disclose your Personal
Information to prevent an emergency, to protect or enforce our rights,
to protect or enforce the rights of a third party, or as required or
permitted by law (including, without limitation, to comply with a subpoena
or court order).
Disclosure to Third-Party Service Providers. We may contract with various
third parties who help us provide and maintain the Site. For example,
we may use a third-party to process payments made to us, and may subcontract
out manufacturing, fulfillment, or other operations. We will use commercially
reasonable efforts to prevent such third parties from disclosing your
Personal Information, except for the purpose of providing the services
in question. However, we cannot guarantee and are not liable for the
conduct of such third parties.
Disclosure of Non-Personal Information. We will disclose Non-Personal
Information, usually in aggregate form, to potential strategic partners,
advertisers, investors, customers, and others. You may not "opt
out" of the sharing of this information. However, it cannot be
easily used to identify you personally.
