Protecting your privacy is important to Pointe Medical Services, Inc. We hope the following policy will help you understand how Pointe Medical Services, Inc. collects, uses, and safeguards the personal information you provide on our web site.
Information Collection-
If you browse our site, you do so anonymously. We do not collect personal information including your e-mail address. We do log your IP address (the Internet address of your computer) to give us an idea of which parts of our web site you visit and how long you spend there. But we do not link your IP address to anything personally identifiable. The only other information automatically provided to us is the type of computer and operating system you are using. Your browser supplies us with this information.
Like many other commercial web sites, our website may use a standard technology called a “cookie” to collect information about how you use the site.
In some of our customer e-mail communication, we employ a device called a “click-through URL”. When you click on one of these URLs, you pass through our system before arriving at the web site that is your true destination. Pointe Medical Services, Inc. uses click-throughs to determine the level of your interest in particular topics and to measure the effectiveness of our communications. We do not share this data with anyone, and we make no attempt to match click-throughs to particular e-mail addresses.
At times we may request that you voluntarily supply us with personal information, such as your e-mail address and postal address, for purposes such as corresponding with us, registering at a site, making a purchase, entering a sweepstakes, registering a new product, or participating in an online survey. When you register a product with Pointe Medical Services, Inc., for example, we collect the file number and your name, address, and e-mail address.
Information Use-
If you provide us with your e-mail or postal address, or have done so in the past, we will ask you if we can use it to send you updates on the latest Pointe Medical Services, Inc. products and promotions. We also ask if you want us to share your personal information with other companies that offer related services. If you do not want us or other companies to contact you, you can choose to “opt out,” and we will respect your wishes.
When you supply Pointe Medical Services, Inc. with your personal information, we may use it to register your product, configure your system, or assist you with connecting to the Internet. We may use information that you have given us to learn more about our customers so that we can develop better products and services. We may also use the information to inform you about new products, services and offers that may be of interest to you. These offers may be based on information you provided in your initial transaction with us or in surveys.
Declining E-mail Offers-
Pointe Medical Services, Inc. provides customers with an easy means to decline to receive e-mail offers. Although most customers tell us they appreciate receiving notice of these opportunities, we recognize the importance of providing you with choices. At any time, you may request to discontinue receiving these offers from us by simply replying to the e-mail and informing us of your preferences. All e-mail offers that you receive from Pointe Medical Services, Inc. will tell you how to decline further e-mail offers.

While Pointe Medical Services, Inc.’s product ad campaigns and marketing materials are often viewed by children, we do not solicit data from them. Pointe Medical Services, Inc. encourages parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and to participate in the interactive activities offered on the sites their children visit. No information should be submitted to, or posted at, Pointe Medical Services, Inc.’s web site by visitors under 18 years of age without the consent of their parent or guardian.
