The Medical Supply Company knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we
appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting
The Medical Supply Company Web site, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice.
What Personal Information About Customers Does The Medical Supply Company Gather?
The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience
at The Medical Supply Company Web site. Here are the types of information we gather.
Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other
way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many
of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests,
customizing future shopping for you, improving our stores, and communicating with you.
Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For
example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Web
browser accesses The Medical Supply Company Web site. A number of companies offer utilities designed to help
you visit Web sites anonymously. Although we will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience at
The Medical Supply Company Web site if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.
E-mail Communications: To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation
when you open e-mail from medsupplyco.com if your computer supports such capabilities. We also compare our
customer list to lists received from other companies, in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our
customers.
What About Cookies?
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to
enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features such as personalized system greetings,
recurring orders, and storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits.
The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new
cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies
altogether. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of The Medical Supply Company Web site’s
coolest features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.
Does medsupplyco.com Share the Information It Receives? Information about our customers is an important
part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We do not share customer information
in any manner with the exception of those situations described below in this Privacy Notice.
Agents: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling
orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists,
analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links),
processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information
needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
Protection of The Medical Supply Company and Others: We release account and other personal information
when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our policies and other agreements;
or protect the rights, property, or safety of The Medical Supply Company, our users, or others. This includes
exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable
information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy
Notice.
With Your Consent: Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to
third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
How Secure Is Information About Me?
We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
software, which encrypts information you input. We reveal only the last five digits of your credit card numbers
when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card
company during order processing. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password
and to your computer. Be sure to log off when finished using a shared computer.
Which Information Can I Access?
The Medical Supply Company Web site gives you access to a broad range of information about your account and
your interactions with The Medical Supply Company Web site for the limited purpose of viewing and, in certain
cases, updating that information.
What Choices Do I Have?
As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to make a
purchase or to take advantage of such Web site features as Recurring Orders.
If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust your Account Maintenance settings. The
Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies,
how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However,
you will not be able to use such important features as Recurring Orders and Site Promotions or Customer Service
Announcements if you do not use cookies.
Children
The Medical Supply Company Web site does not sell products for purchase by children. We sell children's products
for purchase by adults. If you are under 18, you may use medsupplyco.com only with the involvement of a parent
or guardian.
