COLLECTION, USE, DISCLOSURE AND SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Personal Information means information about an identifiable individual. Personal Information would include such things as a person’s home address and telephone number, e-mail address, age, gender, race, height and weight, and other medical information, income and activities. Personal Information does not include certain business information, specifically, a person’s title at work, business address and business telephone number or Aggregate Information. Aggregate Information can be defined as information that has been stripped of your registration information (e.g.name and contact information) and combined with that of other users and analyzed or evaluated as a whole, such that no specific individual may be reasonably identified.
Service Provider will always safeguard the privacy of its customers’ Personal Information. You are placing your trust and confidence in us. We have as much a legal and moral obligation to maintain the confidentiality and security of your Personal Information, as we have to provide you with the highest quality healthcare services and products at the lowest cost. We are pleased to share the following principles which reflect our commitment to safeguarding both your Personal Information, and your Personal Health Information.

As part of that process, we will collect information from you through the following sources:
