Privacy Policy
Bio-MED Medical Waste Transporters recognizes the importance of
protecting the privacy of all information provided by users of
our web sites, subscribers to our services, registrants for our
events, and all other customers of our products and services. We
created this policy with a fundamental respect for our
customers' right to privacy and to guide our relationships with
our customers. This Privacy Statement discloses the privacy
practices for all products and services owned by Bio-MED Medical
Waste Transporters.
Information Collection and Use
Bio-MED Medical Waste Transporters collects information from our
website users, subscribers and other customers. In this section
of our Privacy Statement, we describe the type of information we
collect and how we use it to provide better services to our
customers.
Registration and Ordering
Using our website and signing up for certain selected services
(such as personal business lists), users must first register.
During registration, users are required to give their contact
information (such as name, e-mail address, mailing address and
phone number). For internal purposes, we use this information to
communicate with users and provide requested services, and, for
our website visitors, to provide a more personalized experience
on our sites. We also may collect demographic information. We
use aggregate demographic information about our audience to
improve our service, for marketing purposes and/or industry
reporting purposes.
Many of our products and services are free to subscribers who
meet certain demographic criteria. Independent auditors may need
to certify the eligibility of these subscribers. In order to do
that, we may collect unique identifiers (such as mother's maiden
name) that we disclose to the auditors strictly for industry
reporting and audit verification purposes.
For our services that require payment (Business Subscriptions),
we also collect credit card information (such as account name,
number and expiration date), which is used for our or our
agent's billing purposes only, and is not otherwise shared.
Surveys and Contests
From time to time we invite web site users and other customers
to provide information via surveys or contests. Participation in
these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the
website user or other customer therefore has a choice whether to
disclose requested contact information (such as name and mailing
address) and demographic information (such as zip code or job
title). In addition to the other uses set forth in this policy,
contact information collected in connection with surveys and
contests is used to notify the winners and award prizes and to
monitor or improve the use of, and satisfaction with the website
or other Bio-MED Medical Waste Transporters product or service.
Subject to the given customer's preferences (as described in the
"Permission" section below), such information also may be shared
with third party sponsors of such surveys or contests.
Tell-A-Friend
If customers elect to use our referral service for informing a
friend about our sites and services, we may ask them for the
friend's name, interests and e-mail address. Bio-MED Medical
Waste Transporters will store and use this information to send
the friend an invitation. This information may also be used to
provide information about our company and related products and
services. The friend may contact us as specified in the
tell-a-friend message to request that no further communications
be sent.
Communications with Us
We have features where our customers can submit information to
us (such as our feedback forms). Where such submissions include
requests for service, support or information, we may forward
them to our agents, as needed, to best respond to the specific
request. In addition, we may retain e-mails and other
information sent to us for our internal administrative purposes,
and to help us to serve customers better. Please note that
letters to the editor and similar submissions may be made
public, unless they refer to current registered businesses, in
which case information is not disclosed.
Communications from Us: Service Updates, Special
Offers
Bio-MED Medical Waste Transporters will never send email
notifications to users unless they specifically request so.
Automatic Data Collection
Bio-MED Medical Waste Transporters has features that
automatically collect information from customers, to deliver
content specific to customers' interests and to honor their
preferences. This information assists us in creating products
and services that will serve the needs of our customers.
For example, we use "cookies," a piece of data stored on the
user's hard drive containing information about the user. Cookies
benefit the user by requiring login only once, thereby saving
time while on our web site. If users reject the cookies, they
may be limited in the use of some areas of our web site. For
example, the user may not be able to participate in sweepstakes,
contests or drawings.
For our internal purposes, we gather date, time, browser type,
navigation history and IP address of all visitors to our web
sites. This information does not contain anything that can
identify users personally. We use this information for our
internal security audit log, trend analysis and system
administration, and to gather broad demographic information
about our user base for aggregate use.
We may combine demographic information supplied by a customer at
registration with web site usage data to provide general
profiles, in aggregate non-personally identifiable form, about
our customers and their preferences in the content of the site
and advertising. We may share this composite information with
our advertisers and business affiliates to help them better
understand our services.
Other than as set forth above, we do not share personally
identifiable information with other companies, apart from those
acting as our agents in providing our product(s)/service(s), and
which agree to use it only for that purpose and to keep the
information secure and confidential. Also, our parent,
subsidiary and affiliate companies, entities into which our
company may be merged, or entities to which any of our assets,
products, sites or operations may be transferred, will be able
to use personal information. We will also disclose information
we maintain when required to do so by law, for example, in
response to a court order or a subpoena or other legal
obligation, in response to a law enforcement agency's request,
or in special cases when we have reason to believe that
disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or
bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to
or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally)
our rights or property. Users should also be aware that courts
of equity, such as U.S. Bankruptcy Courts, might have the
authority under certain circumstances to permit personal
information to be shared or transferred to third parties without
permission.
We may share aggregate information, which is not personally
identifiable, with others. This information may include usage
and demographic data, but it will not include personal
information.
Permission
Our customers are given the opportunity to choose whether to
receive information from our affiliates and us not directly
related to the product or service for which they registered (or
which they otherwise agreed to receive). Customers also have the
opportunity to choose whether to have personal information
shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
Please note that we will endeavor to implement your permission
requests within a reasonable time, although for a time you may
continue to receive mailings, etc., transmitted based on
information released prior to the implementation of your
request. In addition, please note that even after such request
is implemented, your page will continue to update information
directly related to the service for which you registered (or
which you otherwise agreed to receive), so you always are kept
updated.
Security
We use reasonable precautions to protect our customers' personal
information and to store it securely. Sensitive information that
is transmitted to us online (such as credit card number, only
applies to Businesses) is encrypted and is transmitted to us
securely. In addition, access to all of our customers'
information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above,
is restricted. Finally, the servers on which we store personally
identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
Links
Bio-MED Medical Waste Transporters may contain links to other
sites. Bio-MED Medical Waste Transporters is
not responsible for the privacy practices or content of
such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they
leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each web
site to which we may link that may collect personally
identifiable information.
Children
Bio-MED Medical Waste Transporters websites are not directed at
individuals under thirteen years of age, and Bio-MED Medical
Waste Transporters does not intend to collect any
personally-identifiable information from such individuals.
Notification and Changes
If we change our Privacy Statement, we will post those changes
on this page so our users are aware of what information we
collect, how we use it and under which circumstances, if any, we
disclose it. Users should check this policy frequently to keep
abreast of any changes.
