This Privacy Policy. This privacy policy describes HSPIG current policies and practices with regard to personal data collected by HSPIG through this website. This privacy policy is independent from HSPIG offline personal data collection practices. The term "personal data" refers to personally identifiable information about you, such as your name, birth date, email address or mailing address, and any other information that is identified with you personally, including your individual health information. Notification of Changes to This Policy. HSPIG is continually improving and adding new functionality and features to this website and improving and adding to our existing products, services, and programs. Because of these ongoing changes, changes in the law, and the changing nature of technology, HSPIG data practices will change from time to time. If and when our data practices change, HSPIG will post the changes on our website to notify you of the changes. We encourage you to check this page frequently. This policy was last updated on March 25, 2004. Personal Data Collected Through hspig.org. Other than cookies, as described below, the only personal data HSPIG currently collects through this website is the information you voluntarily give us when you use our site. For example, you may use this site to contact HSPIG with questions and comments. When you fill out a form on our website, you may provide your name and other contact information, including your company's name, your email address, and your mailing address or the mailing address of your company or other personal information. Most of our registration forms require only your e-mail address. We offer the search features as a service to you. HSPIG does not collect or retain any identifying information about you when you use the search features. Use of Personal Data Collected Through hspig.org. HSPIG uses the personal data information you provide to answer your question or resolve your problem. HSPIG and our affiliates also use this information to help us improve the content and functionality of our websites, to better understand our customers and markets, and to improve our products and services. Anonymous Data Collected Through hspig.org. In addition to the information you provide when you use our website, HSPIG uses technology to collect anonymous information about the use of our website. For example, we use technology to track how many visitors access our website, the date and time of their visit, the length of their stay, and which pages they view. We also use technology to determine which web browsers our visitors use and the address from which they accessed our site (for example, if they connected to hspig.org by clicking on one of our banner ads). This technology does not identify you personally. It simply enables us to compile statistics about our visitors and their use of our site. HSPIG and our affiliates use this anonymous data and share it with third parties to improve the content and functionality of our websites, to better understand our customers and markets, and to improve our products and services. Cookies. A cookie is a small piece of information that is sent to your browser and stored on your computer's hard drive. Cookies do not damage your computer and they cannot be used to discover the identity of a user. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie. This enables you to decide if you want to accept it or not and whether you are required to accept the cookie to view certain content. HSPIG may use cookies to "persist" a user session — that is, to maintain connection with a user as he or she moves through an application or series of web pages. The purpose of cookies in this context is to remember user inputs. For example, a "shopping cart" application records purchases up until the user reaches checkout. Personalization features also use cookies to identify groups of users and deliver appropriate content and services. Disclosure of Your Personal Data. HSPIG may share some or all of the personal data collected through this website with our affiliates, who use this data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. While no method of data transmission is guaranteed against unlawful third party interception or other misuse, HSPIG uses commercially reasonable efforts to ensure protection of your data including industry-standard encryption and offline security methods in our physical facilities. Children. HSPIG does not allow minors on this site. Link to Other Sites. This privacy policy applies only to hspig.org. HSPIG and our affiliates operate other websites for different purposes and in different countries where different laws may apply. If you visit another HSPIG website, please take a moment to review the privacy policy posted on that site to learn what personal data may be collected through that site and how it is processed. Hspig.org contains hyperlinks to websites that are not operated by HSPIG or one of our affiliates. These hyperlinks are provided for your reference and convenience only and do not imply any endorsement of the activities of these third-party websites or any association with their operators. HSPIG does not control these websites and is not responsible for their data practices. We urge you to review the privacy policy posted on any site you visit before using the site or providing any personal data about yourself. Governing Law. This privacy policy forms part of our website Terms and Conditions and as such shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, USA.
