What information does Self Health Network gather?

Even if you do not become a member of this Site, we collect non-personal information about your use of our Site, such as pages visited, and total time on site. If you register as a member of this Site, we will collect personal information, such as your name, email address, date of birth, and zip code. We use the information that you provide to provide you the specific services you select, send you emails about Site maintenance and updates, and inform you of significant changes to this Privacy Policy. Any information you provide to us through this Site is stored digitally. You may choose not to enter some pieces of information, but limiting information may inhibit Self Health Network's ability to provide you with all of the benefits of personalized resources.

We are committed to protecting the privacy of children. Neither the Self Health Network nor any of its services are designed or intended for children under the age of 13 and such children are not permitted to become members of this Site. We do not collect personal information from any person stating his or her age to be under 13 and will not maintain a profile or member page for any such persons.

During purchase transactions, Self Health Network encrypts personal information using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software. Because it is necessary for the transaction, Self Health Network does transmit credit card information to the appropriate credit card company during order processing. However, for order confirmation we reveal only the type of credit card and the last four digits of your credit card numbers.

For security purposes and proper website function, Self Health Network collects and analyzes the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet and to our Site. This is done for your protection and for tracking purposes in the event that someone gains access to your personal or financial information and opens an account or makes purchases under your name.

Like many websites, Self Health Network uses "cookies," which are text files transferred to your computer through the web browser and enable the Site to recognize you more quickly. This enables us to provide more personalized services and features like item storage in your Shopping Cart. Although your browser software may allow you to reject our cookies, please be aware that doing so will prohibit some of the important functions and conveniences of our Site from working properly.

Self Health Network may use third-party site usage tracking companies to analyze use of the Site or to conduct surveys. In the course of serving the Site, these third parties may place or recognize a unique "cookie" on your browser. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to the Site and other websites in order to help Self Health Network understand how to serve you better.

Self Health Network receives testimonials and comments from users wishing to share their experiences. Self Health Network may publish such content from time to time. By submitting such testimonials and comments, you grant Self Health Network permission to publish such content at its discretion.

Self Health Network operations and maintenance contractors sometimes have limited access to your personal information in the course of providing products or services to Self Health Network. These contractors include vendors and suppliers that provide us with technology, services, and/or content for the operation and maintenance of our Site. Access to your personal information by these contractors is limited to the information reasonably necessary for the contractor to perform its limited function for Self Health Network.

The Site may contain links to third party websites operated by companies that are not affiliated with the Self Health Network and that do not have contracts to provide content or services through the Site.

Self Health Network does not endorse and is not responsible for the privacy practices of these sites.

Self Health Network may combine, in a non-identifiable format, the personal information you provide with information from other users to create aggregate data that may be disclosed to third parties. Aggregate data does not contain any information that could be used to contact or identify you. For example, Self Health Network may use information gathered to create a composite profile of all the users of a particular third party site. These third party websites may use this information to understand community needs and to design appropriate programs and activities on their site or for advertising purposes. Self Health Network will not disclose your personal information to any third party without your prior permission, except as otherwise permitted by this Privacy Policy.

Limitation on Liability

While Self Health Network takes reasonable steps to safeguard and to prevent unauthorized access to your information, Self Health Network cannot be responsible for the acts of those who gain unauthorized access, and Self Health Network makes no warranty, express, implied, or otherwise, that Self Health Network will prevent unauthorized access to your private information.
