Privacy Policy

HealthWalk is deeply committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to data collected by HealthWalk through www.healthwalk.com and its affiliate websites, its online community and online store. It also applies to data collected by our clinics.

We use a variety of security technologies and procedures and adhere to strict policies to protect your personal information. We protect your personal information including any personal identifiable data, health and financial information.

How we protect your personal information

HealthWalk takes precautions - including administrative, technical, and physical measures - to safeguard your personal information against unauthorized access, use or disclosure.

HealthWalk Clinics ensure your confidentiality through written policies, employee training and standard operating procedures. All HealthWalk employees, consultants, affiliates and practitioners have signed client confidentiality agreements preventing them from disclosing any personal or medical information to anyone other than you, your designees or other practitioners or healthcare providers for the purpose of your diagnosis and treatment.

The HealthWalk Online Store uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages where personal information is required. To make purchases from the HealthWalk Online Store, you must use an SSL-enabled browser such as Safari, Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later, or Internet Explorer. Doing so protects the confidentiality of your personal and credit card information while it's transmitted over the Internet.

You can also help by taking precautions to protect your personal data when you are on the Internet. Change your passwords often using a combination of letters and numbers and make sure you use a secure web browser. If you have created a password do not write it down or share with anyone else.

What information we collect

There are a number of situations in which your personal information may help us give you better service. For example, we may ask for your personal information when you're discussing a service issue on the phone with an associate, downloading a software update, registering for a seminar, participating in an online survey, registering your products, or purchasing a product.

At such times, we may collect personal information relevant to the situation, such as your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, and contact preferences; your credit card information and information about the HealthWalk products you own, such as their serial numbers, and date of purchase; and information relating to a support or service issue. We may collect information for research purposes - such as your occupation and where you use your computer - to gain a better understanding of our clients and thus provide more valuable service.

When you post a testimonial, use a bulletin board or chat room on a HealthWalk website you should be aware that any information you share is visible to other users. Personally identifiable information you submit to one of these forums can be read, collected, or used by other individuals to send you unsolicited messages. HealthWalk is not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit in these forums. We also reserve the right to use statements and / or images provided by our clients in the truthful promotion of HealthWalk goods and services in print, electronic, broadcast, Internet or other media.

Sharing of your personal information

HealthWalk takes your privacy very seriously. Be assured that HealthWalk does not sell or rent your contact information to other marketers. To help us provide superior service, your personal information may be shared with legal entities within the HealthWalk group globally who will safeguard it in accordance with HealthWalk's privacy policy.

There are also times when it may be advantageous for HealthWalk to make certain personal information about you available to companies that HealthWalk has a strategic relationship with or that perform work for HealthWalk to provide products and services to you on our behalf.

These companies may help us process information, extend credit, fulfill customer orders, deliver products to you, manage and enhance customer data, provide customer service, assess your interest in our products and services, or conduct customer research or satisfaction surveys. These companies have signed non-disclosure and service provider agreements and have agreed to protect your personal information in accordance with HealthWalk's policies. Without such information being made available, it would be difficult for you to purchase products, have products delivered to you, receive customer service, provide us feedback to improve our products and services, or access certain services, offers, and content on the HealthWalk website.

We may also share your health care information to receive payment for products and services (third party payor or insurers to determine whether your program will pay for services). At times we may be required by law or litigation to disclose your personal information. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that for national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary.
