This Privacy Policy is part of, and incorporated into, the Terms of Use of the Site and any Terms of Sale. If you have any questions, you can contact Us through any of the means described in the “Contact Us” section at the end of this Privacy Policy.

Our Site is hosted on Shopify, which provides Us with an online e-commerce platform that allows Us to sell Our products and services to you. Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases and the general Shopify application. Payments are processed via Shopify Payments.  For more information regarding Shopify’s privacy practices, please visit: https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy.

By accessing and using Our Services (including the Site), you acknowledge and fully understand Our Privacy Policy and freely consent to the information collection and use practices described in this Privacy Policy. IF YOU DO NOT CONSENT TO THE INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE PRACTICES DESCRIBED BELOW, YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY CEASE ANY ACCESS OR USE OF OUR SERVICES.

2. Information Collected

Our Services may permit you the opportunity to provide Us with Personal Information.  As used in this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means any information that may be used, either alone or in combination with other information, to personally identify an individual, household or device as defined by applicable laws.

We collect certain information, including Personal Information, from and about Our users in various ways:

• directly from you;
• directly from Our web server logs;
• cookies and web beacons; or
• from affiliates, third parties and service providers.

2.1. Information Provided by You

We and Our service providers and affiliates collect Personal Information through online forms to provide certain features of the Services to you. For example, if purchasing medical supplies or other goods, We may request that you fill out a form with information such as your name, e-mail address, phone number, and company information. In each case, We collect such information only insofar as is legal and appropriate.  If you do not provide the information required to submit the forms, We may not be able to provide you with related features and Services including selling you any goods or services.

In some cases, you may have the opportunity to enter any content that you choose into Our forms. You are responsible for such content, and We reserve the right to use such content as part of Our Services or for other appropriate purposes.

2.2. Web Server Logs

When you access or use Our Services, We may track information to administer Our Services and analyze its usage. Examples of information We may track include, without limitation:

• Your internet protocol address;
• The kind of browser or computer you use;
• Number of links you click within Our Site;
• State or country from which you accessed Our Services;
• Date and time of your visit;
• Name of your internet service provider;
• Your geolocation
• Third-party websites you visit prior to or after visiting Our Site; and
• Pages or information you viewed on Our Site.

We use this information to analyze and improve Our Services, monitor traffic and usage patterns for information security purposes, help make Our Services more useful and other purposes appropriate to the context in which We collect the information.

2.3. Cookies and Web Beacons

A “cookie” is a small text file that may be transferred to your computer’s hard drive to personalize Our services for you and collect information regarding usage of Our Services. Each computer is assigned a different cookie that contains a random, unique identifier. Our Services may use two different types of cookies: a “session” cookie, which is required to track a user session, for example, and which expires shortly after the session ends, and a “persistent” cookie, used to track unique visits to the Site, as well as how the user arrived at the Site (for example, through an email link or from a referral link), and the type of user (patient, provider, consumer, etc.). So that users are not counted twice, this cookie can “persist” (remain on your hard drive) for a predetermined period (usually anywhere from a few days to a couple years).

Your browser software can be set to warn you of cookies or reject all cookies. Most browsers offer instructions on how to reset the browser to reject cookies in the “Help” section of the toolbar. You also can remove any cookies that have been placed on your computer. If you reject or remove Our cookies, this may disable some of the functionality of Our Services and you may not be able to use certain Services.

Our cookies, to the best of Our knowledge, cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience features to save you time. Cookies help the Site recall your specific information on subsequent visits. For example, if you save an item in your cart that you want to buy, and then navigate away from the Site or that page, cookies will store information so that when you return the item will still be in your cart. This simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and eases website navigation by providing and saving your preferences and login information as well as providing personalized functionality.

We may use Google Analytics on Our Site to help Us analyze the traffic on Our Site. We do not combine this information with any data from other websites.  For more information on Google Analytics’ processing of Personal Information, please see http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.” You may opt out of the use of Google Analytics here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

We may use Lucky Orange’s analytics services on Our Site to analyze the traffic on Our Site.  We do not combine this information with any data from other websites. For more information regarding Lucky Orange and your data privacy, please see: https://privacy.luckyorange.com/.  You may opt-out of Lucky Orange for all websites that you visit here:

https://privacy.luckyorange.com/

Some features of Our Services (such as social media widgets that allow you to share content) may use cookies or other methods to gather information regarding your use of the Services, and may combine the information in these cookies with any Personal Information about you that they may have. The use of such information by a third-party depends on the privacy policy of that third-party.

Since sponsors or partners of the website may use their own cookies when you click on a hypertext link to their website or service, you should carefully review the privacy policy of other websites to which you link from Our Site.

A “web beacon,” “clear GIF,” “web bug,” or “pixel tag” is a tiny graphic file with a unique identifier that is similar in function to a cookie, but would allow Us to count the number of users that have visited certain pages or screens of Our websites, and to help determine the effectiveness of promotional or advertising campaigns. When used in HTML-formatted email messages, web beacons can tell the sender whether and when the email has been opened. In contrast to cookies, which may be stored on your computer’s hard drive, web beacons are typically embedded invisibly on pages or screens. We may use web beacons in providing the Services.

We reserve the right to share aggregated Site statistics monitored by cookies and web beacons with Our affiliates and partner companies.

2.4. Third Parties and Affiliates

We may collect Personal Information about individuals from Our affiliates or for service providers for any of the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. For example, We may collect information about members or potential members in order to provide them with information or offer Services that We believe may be of interest.

3. Marketing and Advertising

3.1. Advertisements appearing on any of Our Services may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Us and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

3.1.1. We and Our service providers may use information about your interactions with Our Services to predict your interests and select the ads you see on and off our Website. This is known as interest-based advertising. In providing interest-based ads, We follow the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising developed by the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA").  For more information about interest-based advertising and how you can opt out, visit:

3.2. We may use Hubspot’s customer relations management (CRM) and marketing tool. We use the tool to follow up people who are in contact with Us, whether they are existing customers, new customers who contact Us through forms on Our website or applicants for positions with Us.  For more information on Hubspot’s processing of personal information see https://legal.hubspot.com/privacy-policy.

4. Relationship with Other Services and Policies

ROi or its affiliates may provide separate services to members such as those provided by HealthTrust and AdvantageTrust as well as access to a Member Portal.
