Privacy Information
Commitment to Privacy Protection. Womens Heart Advantage
is committed to providing you with quality health care information.
We are also firmly committed to respecting the privacy of
your general and personally identifiable health information.
Womens Heart Advantage will not share or sell any personally identifiable information
we gather to any company, organization or person outside
of Womens Heart Advantage. Any general personal information you voluntarily
provide when using this Web site, such as your name, address,
e-mail address as part of the registration process, or credit
card information for on-line shopping, will only be used
to provide you with information that you specifically request
from this Web site, and for our internal confidential analysis
of aggregate user data, such as computing the total number
and regional locations of users. We and the third parties
participating in the site will not use your general or personally
identifiable health information without your prior consent.
You can review
and correct your general personal and personally identifiable
information at any time; either directly through use of
data input screens, or indirectly by submitting a request
to the site Webmaster as described in the last section below,
"Questions or Comments." The key exceptions to
these privacy protection practices are that information
you may provide in live online discussions in chat rooms,
or information you may post on bulletin boards, cannot be
protected. You should think carefully before disclosing
any general personal information or personally identifiable
health-related information when using them.
Health-Related Personally Identifiable Information.
If we, or our third party content providers, collect health-related
personally identifiable information, we will only use it
for the purposes for which you as a reasonable consumer
would expect us to use it, or as agreed to by you. We will
not disclose your health-related personal information to
an unrelated third party or for unrelated purposes without
first obtaining your prior consent. We will use an explicit
"opt-in" procedure in which no action will be
taken unless you indicate your consent.
Changes in the use of Health-Related Personally
Identifiable Information. When we want to make
significant changes to our Privacy Policy that would affect
our use of the health-related personally identifiable information
we collect, we will give notice to you and all users by
posting the changes to this Web site 30 days prior to implementing
the change. Notice of any significant changes will be provided
on the home page of this site. We will not make use of information
we previously gathered from you prior to a significant change
in this Privacy Policy without first obtaining your consent
for any new uses. If you wish to decline, or "opt-out,"
of any changes to our use of your information, you may decline
by submitting a request to the site Webmaster as described
in the last section below, "Questions or Comments."
We may also make non-significant changes to this Privacy
Policy that will not affect our use of your personally identifiable
information. We will post all changes on this Web site.
You should periodically check this Privacy Policy for updates.
We will maintain this information until you request that
we remove, update or change your information.
Privacy and Third Parties. Where third
parties such as sponsors, information providers, and health
assessment software tools providers, have access to health-related
personally identifiable information from this Web site,
our agreements with these third parties will follow these
privacy principles in giving you notice and choice with
respect to their access and use. Where we have relationships
with third parties, we will adopt procedures to tell you
if third parties have access to personally identifiable
information about you from our site. We will take appropriate
precautions to prevent inadvertent disclosures of personally
identifiable information to third parties and will take
immediate steps to eliminate such disclosures, if they occur,
once they have come to our attention.
Tracking Mechanisms / Cookies. This Web
site automatically places a text file called a "cookie"
in the browser files of your computer. Cookies represent
bits of information that a Web site may transfer to a visitor's
hard disk for the purpose of record keeping. Cookies help
us evaluate your use of our Web site, such as the kinds
of information you want to see and the kinds you most likely
never will want to read. Cookie technology enables Web sites
such as ours to ask for your registration and preferences
only once. During subsequent visits, you will not necessarily
be required to sign in again. Cookies let us avoid showing
you the same sponsorship messages repeatedly and do not
contain or retain personal information. However, they do
let us relate your use of the site to information that you
have specifically and knowingly provided to Womens Heart Advantage. The types
of information we collect includes IP address, browser type,
referring URL, domain names, access times and page views.
Please note that Womens Heart Advantage does NOT continue to track your movement
after you leave the site. Two types of cookies can be used
to access this site
- Persistent cookie - A persistent cookie
is one which is placed on your computer and remains there
until you remove it. This site uses persistent cookies
to: collect information such as how many times you have
visited our site, determine the kinds of information you
would like to view, and allow for retention of your registration
and preferences.
- Per-session cookie - This option may
be used if you do not wish to have a persistent cookie
placed on your computer. A per-session cookie is a temporary
cookie that will be erased once you have finished viewing
our site. By accepting a per-session cookie we want you
to know that you may not be able to use some functionality
of the site.
In order to set the type of cookie your browser will accept,
you must manually make those changes in your browser settings.
- Links. This Web site includes electronic
links over the Internet to various Web sites run by third
parties, such as other health information providers and
sponsors. These "click-on" links are available
at your option for your convenience to allow you to further
expand your health care information. We try to select
third parties that are good sources of additional information
and are reputable. However, please note that your use
of those other Web sites is at your own risk. Womens Heart Advantage Inc.
does not assume any operational or legal responsibility
for the content or operation of those sites, including
but not limited to information privacy protection by those
sites.
Additionally, unless otherwise noted in this section, links

and are not based on any fees or reimbursements paid to
