We request information from the user on our order form. Here a user
must provide contact information (like name and shipping address)
and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date).
This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer's
orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information
is used to get in touch with the user.
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing
information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked
to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once
the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For
instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have
to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on
our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site.
The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some
areas of our site and will not have the full functionality which
they are intended to have. Cookies can also enable us to track and
target the interests of our users to enhance the user's experience
of our site.
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track
user's movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate
use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that
we Foothealthcare.com are not responsible
for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our
users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy
statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable
information. This privacy statement applies solely to information
collected by this Web site.
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter (or future newsletter),
we ask for contact information such as name and email address.
From time-to-time our site may request information from users via
surveys. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary
and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this
information. Information requested may include contact information
(such as name and shipping address), and demographic information
(such as postal/zip code, age level). Survey information will be
used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction
of this site or the Algeo's product/service.
This website takes every precaution to protect our users' information.
When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information
is protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks
users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number),
that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption
software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as
our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such
as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked,
as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'. To
learn more about SSL, follow this link: http://www.ssl.com/developers/faq/
While we use SSL encryption to protect
sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power
to protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information,
not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted
in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform
a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service
representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information.
Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and
privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies
are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the
importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our
customers' information is protected.
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such
as your posta/zip code), or if a user no longer desires our service,
we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that
user's personal data provided to us. To do this please contact
us here.
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we
will post those changes on our Homepage so our users are always
aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances,
if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally
identifiable information in a manner different from that stated
at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an
email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their
information in this different manner. We will use information in
accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was
collected.
