By using this website, including by providing us with any personally identifiable information, you are accepting and consenting to the practices described in this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”).

Health Market Directions operates the following website: healthmarketdirections.com (the “Site”), which is hosted in the United States. Any information received by us through this Site, including personally identifiable information, may be transferred to or shared across our integrated computer networks with one or more of our affiliated offices in other countries that may not be subject to data protections laws similar to those prevailing in the jurisdiction in which such information is provided to or received by us. However, all of our offices adhere to the same procedures with respect to your personally identifiable information, including this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy describes how we collect and use information about visitors to this Site. By using this Site, you acknowledge and consent to our practices described below. The purpose of this Privacy Policy is for you, the user, to understand how we collect and use data related to your Site visit.

In addition, we have updated this Privacy Policy effective as of May 25, 2018 to adhere to the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and provide you with further clarification on what personal information we collect and how we use it, the legal basis for our processing of your data, and your corresponding rights under the GDPR. Some of the provisions herein relate solely to the requirements under the GDPR, and depending upon country of residence, citizen or your location when accessing this Site, may or may not be relevant to you.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

You may use our Site without disclosing to us any personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, email address, phone number, and certain other information. We collect personally identifiable information about you only if you choose to provide it to us.

Although our web server does log certain technical information automatically, such as the identity of your Internet Service Provider and your computer’s IP address, none of this technical information reveals your identity to us, and it is not associated with any personally identifiable information you may choose to provide.

Email messages, including associated information contained in attachments to e-mail messages that you send to addresses published on our Site, are not governed by this Privacy Policy.

Health Market Directions may also collect certain personally identifiable information about you, such as your name, address, email address and phone number, when you communicate with us in person, over the phone, through email or otherwise.

Cookies are small bits of data cached or stored on your computer based on internet activity. We use cookies and similar technologies to monitor individual activity in aggregate to improve the Site. The information we gather includes IP address, user language, operating system, browser type, presence/absence of “flash” plugins, screen resolution, connection type, and information that identifies the cookie. Our third-party service providers may also use technologies like cookies or usage data to record how you interact with our products and services. However, no other user information is generally collected.

Third-party services include data analytics on how current and prospective clients engage with our marketing and our products and services based on tracking technology that records, on an individual and aggregated basis, email delivery status, email open rates, the products clicked on and the number of times such products are accessed, and geographic location. Third-party service providers utilized by Health Market Directions agree not to disclose or sell any personally identifiable information without Health Market Directions’ permission, or to use such information for any purpose other than its intended purposes.
