Privacy StatementYour privacy on Heartspring.netThis website is administered by Heartspring.net. The primary purpose of our website is to be a dynamic resource tool to help you learn more about alternative health information. We want you to feel secure when visiting our site and are committed to maintaining your privacy when doing so. The following provides an overview of how we protect your privacy during your visit. What information do we gather?Information on Heartspring.net is gathered in two ways: (1) indirectly (through our site's technology); and (2) directly (for example, when you provide information on various pages of Heartspring.net). One example of information we collect indirectly is through our Internet access logs. When you access Heartspring.net, your Internet address is automatically collected and is placed in our Internet access logs. We also use cookies. Cookies are small files, which save and retrieve information about your visit to Heartspring.net. For example, how you entered our site, how you navigated through the site, and what information was of interest to you. The cookies we use identify you merely as a number. (If you are uncomfortable regarding the use of cookies, please keep in mind you can disable cookies on your computer by changing the settings in preferences or options menu in your browser.) We also collect information when you voluntarily submit it to us. Throughout our site, we provide the opportunity to submit on-line program applications and to request for us to contact you. When we collect this type of information, we will notify you as to why we are asking for information and how this information will be used. It is completely up to you whether or not you choose to provide it. How do we use this information?We analyze the information you provide to determine what is most effective about our site, to help us identify ways to improve it, and eventually, to determine how we can tailor Heartspring.net to make it more effective. We may also use data for other purposes, which will be described to you at the point the information is collected. Will we share this with outside parties?We will not sell individual information and we will not share it with anyone. If you submit any information, we will notify you as to why we are asking for specific information and it is completely up to you whether or not you choose to provide it. What about sensitive personal data?Some forms may contain sensitive personal data. Submitting personal data on our site implies that you consent to our proposed uses of the data. We may also collect some personal data incidentally. By providing us with unsolicited data, you consent to use of the data subject to applicable law as described in this notice. While we take steps to maintain the security of Heartspring.net, you should understand that the open nature of the Internet is such that data may flow over networks without security measures and may be accessed and used by people other than those for whom the data is intended. That's it in a nutshell. The long and short of it is - we are interested in maintaining your privacy and creating a valuable resource for you to use. If you have any questions now or at any time, please contact us at: health@heartspring.net
