INFORMATION COLLECTED DURING REGISTRATION PROCESS
By registering with INVENMED, users receive enhanced access to our website, including online ordering. Users who are new to INVENMED must first complete the registration form. During registration, healthcare professionals are required to give their contact information (such as name, address and email address). We request educational background and title only to verify eligibility to place orders on our site, as we sell only to licensed health care professionals. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others, other than as described in “Sharing” below. Non-healthcare professionals have general access to our website without the collection of any personal information.
COOKIES
A cookie is a piece of data stored on a user’s hard drive containing information about the user. Cookies are used on our website to save the user time and effort; for example, the use of cookies enables the Remember Me option, which allows the user access to specific information without having to login each time. Cookies can also remember the last page or position you visited, which can be very helpful if you have opened numerous pages of information. If a browser is not set up to accept cookies, users will not be able to use the restricted portion of our site. We do not sell, share or rent any information obtained through the use of cookies.
LOG FILES
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
SHARING
We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
We (or our consultants) may also contact you from time to time with voluntary surveys to gather information to better serve you.
SECURITY TECHNOLOGY
This website takes every precaution to protect your information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline. When sensitive information (such as a credit card number) is required, that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry – SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers becomes locked, as opposed to unlocked.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information offline. All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment protected by the latest firewall technology.
If you have any questions about the security at our website, please Contact Us.
CONTACTING YOU
We send all new members a welcoming email to provide a password and to verify your email address (username). At this point, your account is active and you will be able to order online. Members can also receive our electronic newsletter which serves to update you on our products, address frequently asked questions and share scientific updates. We (or our consultants) may also contact you from time to time with voluntary surveys to gather information to better serve you. Out of respect for the privacy of our users, we present the option to not receive these emails or newsletters. Please see Choice/Opt-out below.
CORRECTING/UPDATING PERSONAL INFORMATION
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such as your address or telephone number), there are several options available.
