4.
The Type of Information We Collect From You
As with most of the Internet, visiting our Site will
automatically tell us certain information about you, such basic information
comprising (but not necessarily limited to), your IP address, when you visited,
the website from where you came prior to visiting us, the website where you go
when you leave our website, your computer's operating system, and the type of
web browser that you are using. Our Site
automatically records this basic information.
In addition, with most of the Internet, the Site may use
"cookies," simple information in the form of a file, usually a text file, which
the Site's server transfers to your computer. This
information can be used to track your session on the Site, your preferences,
when you return and other related information. Cookies
may also be used to customize the Site Content for you as an individual.
If you use any one of the common Internet
web browsers, such as Microsoft's Internet Explorer, FireFox, Chrome or Apple's
Safari, you can set up your browser to either let you know when you receive a
cookie or to deny cookie access to your computer.
Hygeia may also collect any data
that you provide by posting it at or on the Site or by e-mail. You can always choose not to provide
us with information. However, if you do withhold information, you may be denied
access or use to some or all of the Site's functions, services and/or features.
5.
What We Do with Your Information
We use your information to operate the Site's business
activities. For example, we may use
this data to contact you about changes to the Site, new services or features
offered by the Site or special offers offered by Hygeia, or the data may be used by Hygeia to resolve disputes, troubleshoot
issues, and enforce the Site's
Terms and Conditions of Use.
Generally, it is our policy that we will not provide any
Personal Information to third parties without your permission (the "General
Policy of Disclosure"). However, there
are some important exceptions to the
General Policy of Disclosure that are described in the following paragraphs (the
"Exceptions"):
A.
We may, in our sole discretion, provide Personal Information to law enforcement
or other government officials for purposes of fraud investigations, alleged
intellectual property infringement, or any other suspected illegal activity or
mailers that may expose us to legal liability.
B.
Although we do not disclose individually identifiable information, we may
disclose aggregate data about the Site's visitors to advertisers or other third
parties for marketing and promotional purposes.
C.
From time to time, we may use third party suppliers to provide services on the
Site ("Third Party Providers"). In
such cases and circumstances, if a Third Party Provider wants to collect
Personal Information, you will be appropriately notified before any Personal
Information is collected by a Third Party Provider.
You will never be required to provide
Personal Information to a Third Party Provider and Hygeia restricts the method and manner
in which Third Party Providers may use Personal Information in the event that
you voluntarily choose to provide Personal Information to Third Party Providers. In each and every case, under NO
circumstances, is a Third Party Provider allowed to sell, give or otherwise
transfer ANY Personal Information to others.
6.
User Names and Passwords
Your access to parts of the Site may be protected by a user
name and a password. Do not give your
password to anyone. If you enter a
section of the Site that requires a password, we strongly urge that you log out
when you leave the Site. As a general
safety precaution, it is always prudent to close out of your web browser
completely when logging off from any secured Internet site or area and re-open
it before viewing other parts of the Internet.
7.
Your Use of Information and Unsolicited Junk E-Mail
If you obtain personally identifiable information about another
Site user, you are not allowed to disclose this information to anyone else
without the consent of the user AND the express written consent of Hygeia.
Hygeia HATES SPAM TOO.
Information you obtain from this Site
about the Site or other Site users cannot be used by you or others to send
unsolicited commercial e-mail, i.e.,
SPAM, or to send unsolicited commercial communications via the Site's posting or
other communication systems.
8.
Your
Voluntary Disclosure of Information to Third Parties Who are Not the Site's
Content Providers
You may choose, at your sole and exclusive discretion, to
provide Personal Information to Site visitors or other third parties who are not
the Site's Third Party Providers. We
strongly urge you to use caution when doing so, as this Privacy Policy does NOT
apply to such situations where you decide to disclose your Personal Information.
The privacy policies and customs of these
third parties will determine how any disclosed Personal Information is used by
those parties.
9.
Autoresponders/EMAL
The Site may use "autoresponders," newsletters, promotions,
etc. to communicate with you by e-mail. To
protect your privacy, Hygeia always uses a verified opt-in
system for such communications and you can always opt-out of such communications
using the Links contained in each autoresponder and/or email message.
In the unlikely event that you encounter
difficulties opting out from an autoresponder list, please contact the Site's
support team at
info@hygeiacg.com
10.

The terms of this Privacy Policy may change from time to time
at our sole and absolute discretion, without advance notice.
If such changes are made, Hygeia will post an appropriate notice
on the Site's home page of the changes that have been made.
If you disagree with the changes that
have been made, please contact Hygeia by email at
info@hygeiacg.com, and any changes
made to this Privacy Policy will not apply to Personal Information that
previously collected from you prior to the changes in the Privacy Policy. However, the amended Privacy Policy's
terms will govern all future disclosures of Personal Information. If you disagree with the Policy, then
your only recourse is to not provide any further Personal Information.
In the event that there is a topic of concern in this Privacy
Policy, it is suggested that you consult this Policy and read it each time prior
to your access and use of the Site.
