PRIVACY POLICY

OUR COMMITMENT TO PRIVACY

Your privacy is important to us. Part of the operation of this website involves the collection and use of information about you. This Privacy Policy explains what type of data and information we collect and how we use that data and information, which in turn allows you to make choices about the way your information is collected and used. Our Privacy Policy applies to information collected through our website and not to information collected offline. This Privacy Policy is subject to change, so please review the policy from time to time.

If you have any questions or concerns concerning our Privacy Policy, please email us at: contactus@shop.shanmedical.com.

INFORMATION THAT IS COLLECTED

Generally, you may view our website without providing any personally identifiable information. However, we collect non-identifiable information when you visit and view our website and personally identifiable information when you register to purchase products from our website. We may also track non-personal information about your visit, including the domain name and the name of the Web page from which you entered our site, how much time you spend on each of our pages, the IP address associated with your computer, and cookie information. We use this information to improve the performance and operation of our site and to process orders. We also use your information to customize the advertising and content that you see, fulfill your requests for products and services, contact you, conduct research, and provide statistical data for internal purposes.

When you purchase items from our website, we ask that you create an account and require that you provide us with personal information such as your name or company name, e-mail address, billing address, telephone number and credit card information. Once you create an account, you are not anonymous to us and we protect your personal information.

SECURING YOUR INFORMATION

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place an order or enter, submit, or access your personal information.

We offer the use of a secure server. All credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our payment gateway providers database, which is only accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. When the letters "http" in the URL change to "https," the "s" indicates you are in a secure area employing SSL; also, your browser may give you a pop-up message that you're about to enter a secure area.

After an order is placed, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers, financial information, etc.) will not be stored on our servers. Please note that email is not encrypted and is not considered to be a secure means of transmitting credit card information.

YOUR ABILITIY TO EDIT YOUR ACCOUNT INFORMATION AND PREFERENCES

You can edit your account information at any time from our website. Users who purchase items from our website will be offered the opportunity to subscribe to our newsletter, though they may opt out at any time by following instructions contained in the newsletters.

COOKIES AND RELATED TECHNOLOGY

A cookie is a small file that is stored on the hard drive of your computer, ready for future access when you return to our site. We may use cookies to tailor and improve the content we deliver to you while you are on our website. The cookies do not contain or capture any personal information. You can configure your computer's browser to alert you when a site is attempting to send you a cookie, and then you can accept or refuse the cookie.

On some of the pages on our site we may also use small bits of computer code called "one-pixel gifs," "clear gifs," or "web beacons" embedded in webpages to monitor the activity on our website. Again, the technology does not capture or contain any personal information.

Protecting the privacy of children is especially important to us. Our website is not designed to attract children under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly or willfully collect personal information from children on our website. We will not send correspondence to anyone who informs us that they are under the age of 13 without their parents’ consent. If you are under the age of 13, please do not provide us with any of your personal information or data.
