HealthLandscape Privacy Policy
Updated: June, 2006
HealthLandscape is very sensitive to privacy issues on the Internet. We believe it is important you know how we treat the information you may provide to us.
Unless prominently and specifically stated otherwise, the information you provide is never shared outside of HealthLandscape.
This privacy statement applies only to information collected by web addresses in the www.HealthLandscape.org domain, hereafter referred to collectively as HealthLandscape.
How We Gather Information
To save you time and make our web service even easier to use, you must create a HealthLandscape account using your personal information. The HealthLandscape system saves your information and ties it to your email addresses and password. The next time you visit the HealthLandscape website, you simply enter your email address and password the system will automatically look up the information it needs.
HealthLandscape may occasionally provide you the opportunity to participate in surveys on our site. If you participate, we may request certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and address), and demographic information (such as zip code). We may share aggregated demographic information about our user base with our partners. This information does not identify individual users.
Log Files
As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, referring/exit pages, operating system, and date/time stamp.
We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a users computer for record-keeping purposes. We do use cookies on this site. HealthLandscape uses session variables stored on the HealthLandscape server. We use session variables to make it easier for you to navigate our site. A session ID variable expires when you close your browser.
How We Protect Your Personal Information
HealthLandscape safeguards the security of the data you send us with physical, electronic, and managerial procedures. Likewise, we urge you to take every precaution to protect your personal data when you are on the Internet. Change your passwords often, use a combination of letters, numbers and symbols, and make sure you use a secure browser.
The HealthLandscape website uses industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages. We strongly recommend an SSL-enabled web browser. Web browsers developed after Internet Explorer 3 and Netscape 3 use SSL version 3. (For the best experience at the HealthLandscape web site, recommend using Netscape 6, IE 5, or better browsers.) This protects the confidentiality of your personal information while it is transmitted over the Internet.
Links To Other Sites
The HealthLandscape web site contains links to other sites that are not owned or controlled by HealthLandscape. Please be aware that HealthLandscape is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information.
Changes To This Privacy Statement
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please review it frequently.
