We store information that we collect through cookies, log files, and clear gifs, to create a “profile” of your preferences. We tie your personally identifiable information and your purchasing history to information within you profile, in order to tailor our promotions and marketing efforts in a way that improves the content of the site for you. We do not share your profile with other third parties without your consent.

Medichat Corporation is the sole owner of the information collected on Medichat MD.com. Medichat MD collects personally identifiable information from our users at several different points on our Web site.

Orders

If you purchase a product or service from us, we request certain personally identifiable information from you on our order form. You must provide contact information (such as name, email, and billing address) and financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date).

We use this information for billing purposes and to fill your orders. We will use this information to contact you and confirm your orders.

Uses of Information

Medichat MD's primary purpose of collecting personal information is to provide you, the user, with a customized experience on Medichat MD as well as on our affiliate’s websites. This includes personalization services, interactive communications, and many other types of services, most of which are completely free to you. In order to provide services free of charge, we display advertisements and encourage your participation. By knowing a little about you, Medichat MD is able to deliver more relevant advertisements and content, hence better service, to you.

Medichat MD plays the role of the middleman within the process of delivering advertisements to specific target segments within our user database. Advertisers provide us with advertisements that we allocate in accordance with the type of audience within our database that the advertiser intends to reach. Medichat MD displays the advertisement to users who fulfill the specified criteria. Throughout process, the advertiser is unable to gain access to individual user information. This form of advertisement targeting is accomplished through banner ads, as well as promotional email sent by Medichat MD and its affiliates. You will only receive special offers via email from Medichat MD if you have indicated in your account preferences, or at some other time, that you would like to receive them.

Personally identifiable information:

Outside Agents

We use outside credit card processing companies to bill you for Medichat MD services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any other purposes.

We use outside email delivery systems to contact you and provide you with pertinent information via email. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any other purposes.

Log Files

As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and click stream data.

We use this information, which is not traceable to individual users, to administer the site and to track users' movements around the site.

We do not link this automatically collected data to personally identifiable information except during special promotions such as free trials when subscription IP addresses are temporarily tied to personally identifiable information.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. We use session ID cookies on this site to maintain your subscription and maintain your account. We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on our site. We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our site. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser.

Clear Gifs

We employ a software technology called clear gifs that help us better manage content on our site by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We do not tie the information gathered by clear gifs to our customers' personally identifiable information.

We use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of specific communication tactics we use and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If you would like to opt-out of these emails, please see “Choice and Opt-out.”

Third Party Advertisers

The ads appearing on this Web site are delivered to users by a Medichat MD proprietary ad serving system. We share Web site usage information about users with reputable third party ad networks for the purpose of targeting our banner advertisements on Medichat MD software.

We use third-party advertising companies and advertising networks to display ads to you on our behalf when you visit our Web site. These companies may use information (excluding personal information such as your name, address email address or telephone number) about your visits to this and other web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of specific interest to you.

Security

The security of your personal information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information such as credit card numbers on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).
