Purpose of Policy 
Nationwide Medical, Inc. (“Nationwide”) respects the privacy of its customers and other visitors to this website. We are strongly committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information. Thus, we created this Privacy Policy to inform you about our information practices. This Privacy Policy applies only to this website and not to any other websites that you may be able to access from this website. 

  

What information do we collect? 

• We collect information from you when you submit information on this website, send an email from this website, respond to a survey or communication, submit an inquiry such as email, or participate in another website function or feature. 

• When you submit an inquiry or contact our Patient Services department, we may ask you for your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, credit card information, or other information. You may, however, visit our website without providing such information. 

• Like many websites, we use "cookies" or other technology to enhance your experience and gather information about visitors and visits to our websites. Please refer to the "Do we use 'cookies'?" section below for information about cookies and related technology and how we use them. 

  

How do we use your information? 
We may use the information we collect about you in ways described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy and in the following ways: 

• To personalize your website experience and to allow us to deliver the type of content and product offerings in which you may be most interested. 

• To allow us to better serve you in responding to your customer service requests. 

• To quickly process your transactions and communicate with you regarding your payments. 

• To prevent fraud and bill you for your purchases. 

• To administer a contest, promotion, survey or other website feature. 

• To comply with valid legal procedures, requirements, regulations or statutes. 

  

When we refer to your information, information about you or personal information, we mean information that we collect and store in a way that allows us to relate it to you personally or to your family, such as your name, email address, mailing or billing address, and phone number. This Privacy Policy applies only to that type of information. We may freely use, disclose or sell information that is not specifically associated with you personally or your family (such as statistics or aggregate information about our customers or website visitors). Personal information is used only for the purpose it was provided. We do not sell, license, transmit or disclose personal information that you provide to us outside of Nationwide Medical, Inc. except when required by law, and any such disclosure of any personal information is performed within the parameters of applicable laws and regulations. 

  

How do we protect visitor and customer information? 
We implement a variety of security measures to protect your personal information. Your personal information is contained behind secured networks. Persons who are authorized to access your personal information are required to keep the information confidential to the extent stated in this Privacy Policy. We use a technology called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). If your browser is capable of SSL (and most are), your personal information and credit card or debit card information will be automatically encrypted or encoded before it is sent over the Internet. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially reasonable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. 

  

Do we use "cookies"? 
Yes. Cookies are small files that a website or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser (unless you set your browser to reject cookies) that enables the website's or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture and store certain information. They may be used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current website activity, which may enable us to provide you with improved services. We also may use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about website traffic and website interaction so that we can offer better website experiences and tools in the future. 

  

We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our website visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business. 

You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser (like Google Chrome or Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, you may not have access to features that make your website experience more efficient and some of our services may not function properly. 

  

Do we disclose the information we collect to outside parties? 
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information unless we provide you with advance notice, except as described below. The term "outside parties" does not include Nationwide Medical, Inc. or its related corporate entities. It also does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to terms consistent with this Privacy Policy. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our website policies, or protect ours or others' rights, property, or safety. If Nationwide or substantially all of its assets (or substantially all of the assets related to the line of business to which this website relates) are acquired, your personal information may be one of the assets transferred to the acquirer. Additionally, non-personally identifiable information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising or other uses. 

  

How can you opt-out of receiving email communications? 
You may opt out of receiving email marketing communications related to products offered through this website. 

Please note that we may maintain information about sales or other transactions in order to service those transactions and for record keeping. 

  

How do we protect the privacy of children?

We do not use this website to knowingly solicit personal information from or market to anyone under the age of eighteen. Children under the age of 18 should not use our website without obtaining prior parental consent. Our goal is to comply with laws and regulations relating to the collection and use of information from children, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), if and to the extent that such laws may be applicable to the operation of this website.
