Information collected
Automatic collection of information:
If you do nothing during your visit but browse through our Web sites

Depending on which site you access and depending upon the feature

the e-mail addresses of those who communicate with us via e-mail.

Cookies
Many Web sites now use "cookies" to provide
useful features to their visitors by providing customizable and
personalized services.
A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to
your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer's hard
drive. For example, a Web site may use cookies to store and sometimes
track information about you, your preferences, or the pages you
last visited.
Your browser software can be set to reject all cookies,
or to ask you if you would like to accept or decline a cookie from
a particular site before it is set. Most browsers offer instructions
on how to reset the browser to reject cookies in the Help section
of the toolbar. You should know, however, that if you reject a cookie,
certain functions and conveniences of a site may not work properly.
We use cookies on our Web sites to store and sometimes
track visitor preferences. We will not link the cookie to your personal
information and/or health related information.
Communications
We recognize that many people are concerned about
the privacy and protection of information as it is transmitted over
the Internet. You should keep in mind that the possibility exists
for unauthorized individuals to intercept any e-mail message you
send over the Internet. In some cases, information can be encrypted
(scrambled or encoded) to make it very difficult to read if it is
intercepted during communication. Certain technology and practices
allow Web sites to provide an increased level of security for your
personal and health-related information when appropriate.
To enhance the level of security for communication
and the transmission of personal information, we have appropriate
security measures in place in our physical facilities to protect
against the loss, misuse or alteration of information that we have
collected from you at our site.
