Collection of your Personal Information
We may ask you when we need information that personally identifies you (personal information) or allows us to contact you to provide a service or carry out a transaction that you have requested such as receiving information about ElectroMed products and services. The personal information we collect may include your name, title, company or organisation name, work e-mail, work phone, work or home address, information about your job function, information about your company, and if purchasing goods on line, your credit card information.


The Site may collect certain information about your visit, such as the name of the Internet service provider and the Internet Protocol (IP) address through which you access the Internet; the date and time you access the Site; the pages that you access while at the Site and the Internet address of the Web site from which you linked directly to our site. This information is used to help improve the site, analyse trends and administer the site.


Use of your Personal Information
The personal information collected on this Site will be used to operate the Site and to provide the service(s) or carry out the transaction(s) you have requested or authorised. This information will not be passed on to any third party.

In support of these uses, ElectroMed may use personal information to provide you with a more effective customer service, to improve the Site and any related ElectroMed products or services.

We may introduce a news letter. If you sign up for a newsletter or agree to receive promotional e-mail, ElectroMed may use customized links or similar technologies to track e-mail links that you click. We may associate that information with your personal information in order to provide you more focused e-mail communications or purchase information.

Each e-mail communication includes an unsubscribe link allowing you to stop delivery of that type of communication.

Some future services on ElectroMed offer clients the ability to publicly display certain personal information, such as for an ElectroMed partner who wishes to publish contact information as part of offering a business service. Participation in such services will always be optional.

ElectroMed may disclose personal information 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 served on ElectroMed or the Site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of ElectroMed and our family of Web sites; or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of ElectroMed employees or agents, users of ElectroMed products or services, or members of the public.

Personal information collected on the Site may be stored and processed in Gibraltar or any other country in which ElectroMed or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities, and by using the Site, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country.


Control of your Personal Information
Except as otherwise described in this statement, personal information you provide on the Site will not be shared outside of Microsoft and its controlled subsidiaries and affiliates without your permission. As described below in the next section, you can access your personal information and make choices about how you wish to be contacted.

Please be aware that this privacy statement and any choices you make on the Site will not necessarily apply to personal information you may have provided to ElectroMed in the context of other, separately operated, ElectroMed products or services.

ElectroMed may send out periodic e-mails informing you of technical service or security issues related to a product or service you requested, or confirming you requested a product or service. In some services offered by ElectroMed, contact with the customer is an intrinsic part of the service. You will not be able to choose to unsubscribe to these mailings, as they are considered an essential part of the service(s) you have chosen.


Security of your Personal Information
ElectroMed is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We will use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorised access, use, or disclosure. For example, if Credit Card transactions are used, we will store the personal information you provide on computer servers with limited access that are located in controlled facilities. Additionally, when we transmit sensitive personal information (such as a credit card number) over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.


Use of Cookies
We may use cookies on this Site to ensure the integrity of any registration process and to personalise the Site. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a Web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of delivering relevant content, eases site navigation, and so on. When you return to the Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the site's features that you customized.

Web beacons, also known as clear gif technology, or action tags, may be used to assist in delivering the cookie on our site. This technology is a tool that can be used to compile aggregated statistics about ElectroMed Web site usage, including how many visitors clicked on key elements (links or graphics) on a ElectroMed Web page, blog or a newsletter.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of this or other Web sites you visit.


Use of Web Beacons
Microsoft.com Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons- sometimes called single-pixel gifs - that allow ElectroMed to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services.

ElectroMed may include Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.  Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third party service providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or email communications. These Web beacons may be used by these service providers to place a persistent cookie on your computer. Doing this allows the service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages or emails and compile anonymous information in relation to those page views. ElectroMed prohibits Web beacons from being used to collect or access your personal information.


Enforcement of this Privacy Statement
If you have questions regarding this statement, you should contact ElectroMed. If you do not receive acknowledgment of your enquiry, or if your inquiry is not satisfactorily addressed, you should then contact TRUSTe through the TRUSTe Dispute Resolution Process at http://www.truste.org/consumers/watchdog_complaint.php. TRUSTe will serve as a liaison with this Web site to resolve your concerns.


Changes to this Statement
We may occasionally update this privacy statement. When we do, we will also revise the "last updated" date at the top of the privacy statement.  For material changes to this privacy statement, we will notify you either by placing a prominent notice on the home page of our Web site or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to periodically review this privacy statement to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect.
