our membership services, a customer must first complete the enrollment form. We
ask for your name, address and contact information so we can send you your membership
information, and so we can contact you if we have a question about your membership.
We ask for credit card information so we can process your membership enrollment

your credit card payment. We do not share or sell email addresses.
Additionally, we also collect "User Information" about you and your use of our website
that you voluntarily provide to us through responses to surveys and questionnaires,
through your use of and movement through our website, and through the use of "cookies."

credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services.

disclose your Personal or User Information to any unaffiliated third party in a
manner that would allow them to personally identify you. HEALTHLYNX will
only disclose Personal and User Information in a non-personally identifiable statistically
aggregated form as set forth below. HEALTHLYNX does research to determine
the characteristics of our users and may disclose that information to third parties
only in aggregated non-personally identifiable form. We do research on users' demographics
(for example, 45% of our users are male), interests, personal characteristics, site
usage, and health characteristics to better understand and serve our users.
This research may then be
compiled and analyzed on an aggregated, non-personally identifiable basis. HEALTHLYNX
may share this aggregated data with third parties, such as its business partners,
prospective partners, researchers, and vendors, but only in aggregate, non-personally.

law in all of its actions. In the face of a court order, for example a subpoena
or discovery order, HEALTHLYNX may be required to disclose personal information.
In addition, to the extent permissible, HEALTHLYNX may also ascertain and
disclose personal information 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 violating HEALTHLYNX
Terms and Conditions of Use or may be causing injury to or interference
with (either intentionally or unintentionally) HEALTHLYNX rights or property,
other HEALTHLYNX users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities.
How do you secure member
information?
HEALTHLYNX takes
every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive
information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line.
Whenever HEALTHLYNX
handles your information, HEALTHLYNX takes steps to ensure that such information
is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Toward this end,
all personal data transmitted to all areas of our Website are encrypted using Industry
standard SSL encryption protocol to secure the transfer of personal information
across the Internet.* If you are using a Secure Socket Layer ("SSL") enabled
browser such as Netscape 2.0 (or greater) or Microsoft Internet Explorer 2.1 (or
greater), then your secure online transaction will proceed as follows: 1) The authenticity
of the HEALTHLYNX website will be verified prior to any transfer of Personal
Information; 2) The personal information to be transferred will be encrypted, ensuring
it remains private throughout its journey; and 3) The integrity of your encrypted
data will be secured. Unfortunately, as good as modern encryption methods are, no
data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. HEALTHLYNX
cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. Ultimately,
you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or
any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online.
While we use SSL encryption
to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect
user-information off-line.
