We know that
your privacy on the Internet is very important to you.
That's why protecting your personal information online
is of the utmost importance to The 180 Medical. As a result,
we have prepared this Privacy and Security Policy to let
you know how we will and will not use the information
you entrust to us through 180medical.com.
Why
does The 180 Medical collect my information and how
is it used?
- Registration is an optional service provided 180medical.com;
you do not have to register to browse our Site. When
you register, the information you give to 180medical.com
is used to (1) provide you with personalized content
tailored to your particular interests, and (2) continually
improve the convenience and functionality of this
Site for our customers.
- In general, you can visit 180medical.com on the
World Wide Web or browse online without telling us
who you are or providing us with any information.
However, we collect the domain names (not the e-mail
addresses) of all visitors to our Site to measure
the number of visits, pages visited, average time
spent on the Site, etc. We also collect the e-mail
addresses of those who send us e-mail messages; however,
we will never share those addresses with any other
company or send unsolicited e-mail to any of the addresses
we collect without prior authorization.
- When you register, you are asked for personal information
on 180medical.com. By registering, you are agreeing
to share that information with The 180 Medical and
its affiliates. We request your personal information
(your name, phone number, e-mail address, and your
interests) so that we may use this information to
provide a personalized service, ensure the proper
delivery and billing of orders, inform you about our
products and services, provide information about the
product and service offerings of our vendors and service
providers (if you have authorized The 180 Medical
to do so) and measure the interest of visitors like
yourself in the features of 180medical.com.
- We may tailor our offers to you based on information
you provide when you purchase products and services
from us, from your responses to our online surveys,
from information that may indicate your purchasing
preferences and lifestyle, as well as information
available from external sources including demographic
and census data.
- We may also conduct online surveys through our
Consumer Advisory Council to better understand the
needs and profiles of visitors to 180medical.com.
The information collected will include existing and
future features on our site, products and services
that we offer or intend to offer, and online and offline
shopping experiences. Survey responses are used for
internal management purposes. You can join our Consumer
Advisory Council when you register with 180medical.com.
Your participation in any of our surveys is optional.
You are not required to respond to a survey in order
to visit our Site or take advantage of any of its
features.
Does The 180 Medical share my
information with other companies?
- The 180 Medical will not trade, rent or sell your
personal information, your survey responses or any
other specific details about you or your household

about the visitors to our Site, but these statistics
will not include any personal or private information
that identifies you.

you transmit to 180medical.com.
How does The 180 Medical use the
information I submit about other people?
- On some of our pages, you can submit information
about other people and compose personalized messages
to them. For example, you can refer 180 Medical’s
products and send them directly to someone other than
yourself along with a personalized message you compose
for the recipient. We consider the information you
submit and the content of your personalized message
to be a private communication between you and the
recipient. The 180 Medical will not disclose any information
you provide about someone else, except that we may
do so:
1. To identify or resolve technical problems
or customer service issues;
2. As required by law;
3. To comply with a court order or other legal
process;
4. To enforce The 180 Medical's Terms of Use;

Does The 180 Medical have any policies regarding the
use of 180medical.com by children?

about our products, will never market our products
