HealthCheckUSA recognizes that individuals with whom we conduct
business value their privacy. However, in order to conduct
global business in this increasingly electronic economy, the
collection of personal information is often necessary and
desirable. It is HealthCheckUSA’s goal to balance the benefits
of e-commerce with the right of individuals to prevent the
misuse of their personal information.
The collection of personal information
In general, you can visit our site without divulging any
personal information. However, in order to receive laboratory
tests, HealthCheckUSA will request personal information from
you, like your name, mailing address, e-mail address, company
name, or telephone number. Your response to these inquiries is
necessary to process the lab results back to you. In addition,
HealthCheckUSA may use this information for other business
purposes, such as to alerting you to future promotions and
services that may be of benefit to your understanding of certain
laboratory tests or the approval of other tests.
Laboratory Data
HealthCheckUSA recognizes the sensitivity of their personal
health information. All client reports are mailed directly to
the client only and copies are not retained. Under no
circumstances will this information be made available to third
parties such as insurance carriers or representatives of any
health provider without the prior consent of the individual.
Credit Card and Checking Account Information
In order to process your order, HealthCheckUSA will require
credit card information or the option to pay by check. When you
send confidential personal credit card or check information to
us on our Web site, a secure server software which we have
licensed encrypts all information you input before it is sent to
us. The information is scrambled en route and decoded once it
reaches our Web site. For our customer’s protection,
HealthCheckUSA has no access to this financial information or
keep this information on file.
Other email that you may send to us may not be secure unless
we advise you that security measures will be in place prior to
your transmitting the information.
Collecting domain information
HealthCheckUSA also collects domain information as part of its
analysis of the use of this site. This data enables us to become
more familiar with which customers visit our site, how often
they visit, and what parts of the site they visit most often.
HealthCheckUSA uses this information to improve its Web-based
offerings. This information is collected automatically and
requires no action on your part.
Disclosure to third parties
In cases where we believe your health interests will be served,
HealthCheckUSA may share your information (with the exception of
account, credit card, and ordering information) with
HealthCheckUSA Business Partners, who can alert you about new
products and services in the offering. If you receive unwanted
marketing materials from any of our Business Partners, please
let them know that you wish to be removed from their contact
list.
Email Information
If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain
the content of your email messages together with your email
address and our responses. We provide the same protections for
these electronic communications that we employ in the
maintenance of information received by mail and telephone.
Use of cookies
Cookies are a feature of Web browser software that allows Web
servers to recognize the computer used to access a Web site.
Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored by a user’s Web
browser on the user’s hard drive. Cookies can remember what
information a user accesses on one Web page to simplify
subsequent interactions with that Web site by the same user or

over the Internet.
We use Web site browser software tools such as cookies and
Web server logs to gather information about our Web site users’
browsing activities, in order to constantly improve our Web site
and better serve our customers. This information assists us to
design and arrange our Web pages in the most user-friendly

the needs of our customers and prospective customers.
Cookies help us collect important business and technical
statistics. The information in the cookies lets us trace the
paths followed by users to our Web site as they move from one

individual email address or any personally identifying
information about you although they do permit us to send focused
online banner advertisements or other such responses to you.
