Some of the functionality of the Health Solutions Ltd® web site can be used without registration, but the most unique and informative sections are restricted to members only. Access to Health Solutions Ltd's® member's section may have been made available to you through your employer, a benefits management firm, insurance company, health care provider or another organization involved in helping improve the quality of your health care. In many cases, that organization will have provided Health Solutions Ltd® with some personal information about you. When you visit and navigate our site, we will not collect additional personal information unless you provide us that information voluntarily. By "personal information," we mean data that is unique to an individual, such as a name, address, e-mail address or telephone number. You are solely responsible for the accuracy of your personal information. Inaccurate information may adversely affect the health information you receive from us and our ability to contact you. It is very important that you keep your e-mail address up-to-date because that is our primary method of communicating with you.
Allowing us to have more information about you will grant us the ability to give you even more relevant health care information; however, providing us with personal information about yourself is always entirely voluntary.

In other areas of the site, we may give you the option to provide additional information, including gender, address, country, telephone, and fax numbers. We use this information in aggregate form only. In other words, we combine the information with data collected from other individuals to produce anonymous, aggregated statistical information. We collect and use demographic information, such as the percentage of female visitors or the number of visitors of a certain age, in order to improve the content of our site. We also may share this anonymous, aggregated information, which does not identify individuals, with other third parties. Aggregated information is devoid of any reference to individuals. In certain instances, third parties may receive anonymous, aggregated user information collected on our site. Our agreements with the third parties provide that they will not use the anonymous, aggregated user information to identify individual users or sell, disclose or provide access to any user information collected on our site that would identify any individual or connect any individual to specific illnesses or conditions.
We treat any personal information you give us as confidential. We do not analyze your personal information. We collect specific information about your use of our site only to improve our own ability to anticipate your needs and provide a higher level of service.
Health Solutions Ltd® will not disclose to third parties any personally-identifiable information gathered from you unless (1) we tell you how your information will be used and you give Health Solutions Ltd® specific permission to share this information or (2) Health Solutions Ltd® is required to disclose such information by any applicable law or legal process (like a subpoena or court order).

Health Solutions Ltd® offers interactive tools that are designed to help users make decisions about the care they need, including surgical care, and to learn about conditions and diseases. The tools also help them choose providers of care. These tools are created by Health Solutions Ltd® using proprietary algorithms and data licenses from third parties. Any health information you supply when using the tracking tools may be anonymously pooled into a database to be used by Health Solutions Ltd® and other third parties for the purpose of assessing general trends, preferences, outcomes, and improving services. Health Solutions Ltd® removes all personal identifiers from any pooled data.

We commit to using security procedures to protect personal information you submit to us from misuse or unauthorized disclosure. All information that you submit to us is stored in our secure database. This database is physically housed in a secure, protected environment and behind an electronic firewall.
Access to the data within Health Solutions Ltd® is limited to a few computer technicians for our site who need to maintain the database and who also use passwords for that access, as well as outside vendors who may occasionally assist us in maintaining and improving our hardware and software tools.
Health Solutions Ltd® makes every effort to safeguard your personal information. However, like other Internet sites, we cannot guarantee that it is completely secure from people who might attempt to evade security measures or intercept transmissions over the Internet.
Similarly, we cannot completely ensure the privacy of e-mail communications to and from our site because they are not encrypted and, therefore, not secure. These communications, like most Internet e-mail, could be intercepted without your knowledge and permission, while in transit to or from our site. This includes e-mail you send to us through our various mailboxes. If you are concerned about your privacy, we suggest that you do not use e-mail to communicate information to us that you consider sensitive.
When you register for, or use, any of Health Solutions Ltd® services, your information is not secure during transmission to us.
To have your registration information removed, send your request by e-mail to webmaster@healthsolutionsltd.com. You will receive confirmation from us. If you have questions about the security of our site, send us an email to webmaster@healthsolutionsltd.com.
