HealthLine
Systems, Inc. Statement of Privacy
This document was last updated August 30, 2001.
HealthLine Systems is committed to protecting your
privacy. Most areas of our site are accessible without providing us with any
information. There are areas that require information in order for us to assist
you. This statement describes the collection and use of this information.
Collecting Personal Information
We will ask for personal information for certain transactions (such as visiting
our online demonstrations or help desk) or when you request a contact from us.
Generally, this information is requested when you login to a restricted area,
subscribe to a newsletter, complete a survey or request additional information.
Personal information that is collected is usually limited to either name and
email address or organization information.
For example: If you want us to send you
information about our products or services we will request your name,
organization, address, telephone number and email address. HealthLine
Systems uses our proprietary software to maintain your information. If a
login name and password has been created, it is stored in our internal system.
If you ever want to update your information, either send us an email or contact
a member of our staff.
Clients are able to login to client-only areas
of the Help Desk using a link imbedded in our software. This link assigns a
personal identification number and sends it to your computer in the form of a
small text file, called a "cookie." The use of this cookie allows you
to visit the Help Desk sites without having to sign in.
Use of your Personal Information
We use your personal information for these reasons:
- To provide access to our Help Desk for our
current clients.
- To respond to your requests for information.
HealthLine
Systems will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if
required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is
necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal
process; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of HealthLine
Systems and, (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal
safety of users HealthLine Systems, its web sites, or the
public.
Control of your Personal Information

Systems will not share that information with third parties other than
for the limited exceptions already listed. It will only be used for the
purposes stated above.
HealthLine Systems sends periodic e-mails informing you of
new offerings, courses, information or upgrades. You may unsubscribe to these
mailings by contacting our office or sending an email with the word
"unsubscribe" in either the topic or text area.
Security of your Personal Information
HealthLine Systems strictly protects the security of your
personal information. We carefully protect your data from loss, misuse,
unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction through our
security practices.
Your personal information is never shared outside the company except under
conditions explained above. Inside the company, data is stored in
password-controlled servers with limited access. Your information is stored in
our corporate office in San Diego, California.
Use of Cookies
To ensure we are publishing content customers need and want, HealthLine
Systems collects aggregated site-visitation statistics using cookies. We
do not track individuals' use of the site.
When someone visits the site, a cookie is placed on the visitors machine (if
the visitor's computer accepts cookies) or is read if the visitor has visited
the site previously.
Web beacons, also known as clear gif technology, or action tags, assist in
delivering the cookie. This technology tells us how many visitors clicked on
key elements (such as links or graphics) on our web pages. We do not use this
technology to access your personally identifiable information; it is a tool we
use to compile aggregated statistics about our web site usage. We do not share
tracking information outside of the corporation and we do not allow other
companies to place clear gifs on our sites.
Changes to this Statement
HealthLine Systems may periodically update this privacy statement and will
change the "last updated" date at the top of the privacy statement to
reflect the new date.
