In general, you can visit our Site without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. However, you should be aware that sections of this Site (including restricted portions of this Site) that allow for the submission of personal information (referred to for convenience as “Registration Pages”) contain a function for collecting various pieces of your personal information that may include your name, address, email address, phone number(s), credit card or account information, company, industry, information about your interests in and use of various products, programs and services, health information, medical history and any other information that you decide to provide to us. We only collect your personal information if you voluntarily submit the information to us for such purposes as registering for the use of certain services or restricted portions of this Site or other subscription websites operated by Health Vantis, completion of surveys, submitting applications for employment, product or service purchases, or requests for information, products, or services. For your information, through certain technologies employed by this Site we also collect non-personally identifiable information about you.

How We Use the Information We Collect and Who We Share It With
Unless otherwise specified herein, Health Vantis reserves the right to compile, save, use within the scope of our activities, and analyze any and all data about you (contact and personal data, use history, etc.) that we collect from you through this Site. We use the personal information about you that you provide to us for our internal purposes such as responding to your requests for information or materials, contacting you, assessing your application for a position with Health Vantis or an entity related to Health Vantis, conducting internal analyses such as surveys and market research, processing and completing orders, processing your payment, administering your account, and administering and developing our business relationship with you or the company you represent. We also use your personal information to communicate with you, such as, for example, to provide you with administrative communications regarding your account, newsletters, press releases, or information relating to products, offers, or programs that may be of interest to you.
Health Vantis has a general policy of not disclosing your personal information to third parties unless you have consented to such sharing. However, we may share the personal information about you that you provide to us with trusted companies we have hired to provide services for us, such as sending out our newsletters, fulfilling orders you submit, or collecting and processing information on our behalf. These companies – our vendors – are contractually bound to use personal information that we share with them only to perform the services we have hired them to provide. Among the vendors whose services we employ may be companies that help us deliver online advertisements such as banner ads. These companies may collect and use information you provide to us to better understand the offers, promotions, and types of advertising that are most appealing to our customers. After the information is collected by these third parties, it is aggregated so it is not personally identifiable or tied to you or any other user. If you would prefer that these companies not collect your information, please email info@healthvantis.com.
We may also share your personal information in the event that the business of Health Vantis is transferred to another entity by way of merger, sale of the company’s assets, or otherwise. If you consent to sharing of your personal information, we may share your information with Health Vantis related entities and selected third parties so that they may provide you with or contact you regarding information and materials that may be of interest to you. Please refer to the section below on opting in and out.
We may also collect and group demographic and preferences information, responses to surveys and other personal information that we collect from you into an aggregate, non-personally identifiable form for disclosure to our existing or potential business partners, affiliates, sponsors or other third parties. However, please be assured that this aggregate data will in no way personally identify you or any other visitors to this Site.
From time to time, we may collect general, non-personal, statistical information about the use of this Site, such as how many visitors visit a specific page on this Site, how long they stay on that page and which hyperlinks, if any, they “click” on. We collect this information through the use of “cookies” and other tracking technologies, which are discussed in greater detail below in the section on cookies. We collect this information in order to determine which areas of this Site are most popular and to enhance this Site for visitors. As with other aggregated data, we may disclose such data to our existing or potential business partners, affiliates, sponsors or other third parties, but this aggregate data will in no way personally identify you or any other visitors to this Site.
Personalized URL Links
On occasion, we may personalize and customize websites for certain users. Invitations to visit these customized websites will generally be sent to you via an email containing a personalized URL, a notice on a registration page, or in response to you logging on to a certain portion of this Site. If you are invited to visit one of these sites, you may find it customized with references to products and/or services that we believe may be of interest to you based on your previous interactions with Health Vantis and on information you have provided to us. While you are visiting these websites, we may collect tracking or other non-personally identifiable information about your visit to better tailor this Site to your interests. If you do not want your information to be collected in this way, please do not accept the invitation to visit these sites.
Use of Cookies and Web Beacons
A “cookie” is a small data file that we transfer to your computer’s hard disk. We may use cookies in order to collect certain information about you, such as IP addresses (e.g., whether you are logged on from a .com, .gov, or .edu domain), domain names (the Internet address of a computer), and the type of computer and operating system being used. We may also use cookies to identify your computer when you revisit our Site, to recall your authentication information, or to track statistical information related to navigation throughout this Site. Health Vantis may use both session cookies and persistent cookies in order to better operate this Site so as to enhance your experience while using this Site, and to share with advertisers to provide you with a more personalized visit to this Site. A session cookie enables certain features of this Site and our service and is deleted from your computer when you disconnect from or leave this Site. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to this Site.
You may refuse to accept cookies, or remove cookies, by editing your web browser preferences or options. You do not have to accept all cookies sent to you by this Site; however, depending on the particular cookie you reject, you may not be able to use some of the features of this Site.
We may also employ software technology known as “web beacons” or “clear GIFs” which helps us keep track of what content on our Site is effective. Web beacons are small graphics with a unique identifier that are used to track the online movements of Internet users. Web beacons are embedded in the web pages you review, so they are not stored on your hard drive. The web beacons we use do not track or collect any personally identifiable information about you and they are in no way linked to your personally identifiable information.
Opting In and Out
When you submit personal information to us through the Registration Pages on this Site, you may be given an opportunity to opt in to receiving additional information from Health Vantis, Health Vantis related entities, and/or selected third parties at the time of submitting your personal information to us. If you opt in, you may be added to our list of users who will receive promotional and marketing communications from us, our partners, and/or other third parties. If you initially opt in to receiving such communications and you later decide that you no longer want to receive them, you may opt out of receiving promotional and marketing communications from us and/or our partners and other third parties by emailing us at info@healthvantis.com.
Links to Other Sites
For your convenience, this Site may from time to time include links to third-party sites whose information practices may be different than ours. Visitors should consult the other sites’ privacy policies, as we have no control over information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third parties.
Security of Information and Disclosures
Health Vantis uses industry standard security measures to safeguard information concerning, and submitted by, users like you. We employ reasonable physical, electronic and managerial security methods to help protect against unauthorized access to Personal Information, such as encryption. But please be aware that no data transmission over the Internet or data storage facility can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure. As a result, while we try to protect your Personal Information, we cannot ensure or guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Despite the security measures employed by Health Vantis, you should be aware that it is impossible to guarantee absolute security with respect to information sent through the Internet.
Health Vantis will, to the extent possible, control your personal information, and, except as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy, we will not disclose your personal information to third parties. Although we are committed to maintaining the confidentiality of your personal information, if required or permitted by law, we reserve the right to disclose such information without first obtaining your consent.
Changes to the Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy is subject to change from time to time. Health Vantis will endeavor to post a notice of any changes to this Privacy Policy for a period of thirty (30) days following any such modification. Therefore, you are advised to review this Privacy Policy occasionally, or at least every thirty (30) days. Your continued use of this Site subsequent to Health Vantis’ notice of modification of this Privacy Policy shall constitute your acceptance of the modified Privacy Policy. If any term or provision of this Privacy Policy shall be found to be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, such finding shall not affect the other terms or provisions of this Privacy Policy, or the whole of this Privacy Policy, but such term or provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to render such term or provision enforceable, and the rights and obligations of you and Health Vantis shall be construed and enforced accordingly, preserving to the fullest permissible extent the intent and agreements set forth in this Privacy Policy.
