AMS fully comprehends the importance of privacy of personal information for our users. This Privacy Policy will explain what information about you we collect and also your use of AMS and its services. It explains the choices you have with regards to how your personal information is used and also how we secure that information. We recommend that you read this Privacy Policy Document very carefully.

This Privacy Policy applies to the website owned and operated by AMS, intended for use by consumers for non-commercial personal, household or family purposes, including advancemedicalsystems.com as well as the mobile optimized versions of the site. Collectively, we refer to these sites as the AMS Web Sites.

Reference to “AMS” means any company that AMS controls; for example, a subsidiary that AMS owns. AMS might share information amongst its subsidiaries or the websites it controls or owns, but the information collected under this Privacy Policy will always be protected by the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.

Personal Information
In case you want to register a new member profile with AMS, update an existing profile, or perhaps access certain functionalities on the AMS websites, you might need to submit some Personal Information. “Personal Information” refers to information that we can use in order to identify or contact you. This information includes your name, address, contact number or email address. Some of our interactive tools and services might request you to submit health information, which will also be considered as Personal Information. As a user, you will be responsible for ensuring the correctness of the information that you submit to AMS. Inaccurate information would affect your experience while using the AMS websites and tools, and the possibility of contacting you as explained in this Privacy Policy.

Accessing some of the interactive tools and services on AMS may only be limited to users who have registered with us. Some of the tools (certain calculators or quizzes) don’t retain your Personal Information, whilst others store your Personal Information in accordance with the Privacy Policy as well as the authorization provided by you at the time of submitting Personal Information to use the tools.

At the time of registration, and at different times as you use the AMS websites, you will be given the choice of providing us with your Personal Information in order to receive frequent informational and promotional newsletters, such as newsletters related to a specific health disorder via email from AMS.
While you sign up for receiving email newsletters or at any other time, you have the choice to opt out from receiving any more promotional newsletters from AMS.
Users can unsubscribe from newsletters by:

In case you use our Email a Friend service to inform a friend about a particular feature on the AMS website or a newsletter, we would ask you for your name, email address and the email address of your friend. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email which invites him or her to visit the website by using your name and email address as the “from” email address. AMS will not use your friend’s email information for any other purpose. We will only use the information provided by you to send across the requested email to your friend.

At regular intervals, AMS may conduct online research surveys via email invitations, online focus groups and pop-up surveys. While participating in a survey, you may be asked to enter certain Personal Information. The Personal Information submitted by you in a survey might be used by AMS for research as well as measurement purposes, as explained below, including measuring the effectiveness of the content, programs or advertising. When Personal Information is collected through our market research surveys, we will not knowingly accept participants under the age of 13. Any market research surveys conducted by AMS or on our behalf will include a link to this Privacy Policy page.

To improve customer satisfaction, we have implemented Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting to understand our user preferences. Through this we will only track the visitors demographic information such as age, gender and interests with Google Analytics.

Visitors can opt-out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising and customize Google Display Network ads using the Ads Settings.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the content, information, ideas, business information, concepts or inventions you send to AMS via email. In case you want to keep any business information, ideas, content, inventions or concepts private or proprietary, do not send them via email to AMS.

In case you don’t register with or provide AMS any Personal Information, we collect Non-Personal Information about your use of the AMS Web Sites. “Non-Personal Information” refers to information that we cannot use to identify or contact you. We might also obtain Non-Personal Information about our users from external sources. While you might use some of the functionalities of AMS without registration, most of the specific tools and services on the AMS Web Sites need you to first register with AMS.

AMS collects Non-Personal Information about your use of our website and your use of any other websites through Web Beacons and Cookies. “Cookies” are small data files which are stored onto the hard drive of a computer you use to view any website. Each computer that accesses the AMS website is assigned a different cookie by AMS. “Web Beacons” are graphic image files that are embedded in a web page and usually used to monitor activity on a web page and return to its home server (which could belong to the host site, network advertiser or another third party) information from your browser, such as IP address, URL of the page on which the beacon is located, type of browser which is accessing the site and the ID number of any Cookies on your computer that has been previously placed by that server.

California Online Privacy Protection Act
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. – See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf

According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:
Users can visit our site anonymously.
Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page or as a minimum, on the first significant page after entering our website.
Our Privacy Policy link includes the word ‘Privacy’ and can be easily be found on the page specified above.

You will be notified of any Privacy Policy changes:

• On our Privacy Policy Page

It’s also important to note that we allow third-party behavioral tracking

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.

We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.

Fair Information Practices
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.

In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:
We will notify you via email

• Within 7 business days

We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

CAN SPAM Act
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

We collect your email address in order to:

• Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions
• Process orders and to send information and updates pertaining to orders.

We take logical security measures to protect your Personal Information. In spite of AMS’s efforts to protect your Personal Information, there is always a certain level of risk that unauthorized third parties could find a way around our security systems or perhaps the transmission of your personal information on the Internet could be intercepted.

We would retain your Personal Information as long as your account is active or we need to provide you with services. You can remove your Personal Information or tell us to remove it at any time. However, you should keep in mind that technologically it is not possible to remove all records of the information that you have provided to AMS from our servers. AMS tools that collect as well as store Personal Information allow you to update, correct, or review the information you have submitted, by returning to the specific tool, logging-in and then making the necessary changes. We would also retain your Personal Information if required to comply with any legal obligations, resolve disputes or enforce our agreements.

At AMS, we are committed to protecting the privacy of children. The AMS websites are not designed or intended to attract children of less than 13 years of age. The AMS website does not collect Personal Information from any person whom we know is under the age of 13. Parents or guardians, however, may use AMS to establish a personal health record and an AMS profile page for a minor. Parents or guardians are solely responsible for supervising a minor’s use of AMS. The parent or guardian assumes complete responsibility for ensuring the security of the registration information and also that the submitted information is accurate. Parents or guardians also assume full responsibility for the interpretation as well as use of any information or suggestions provided for the minor through AMS.

Your IP (Internet Protocol) address is generally associated with the place from where you access the Internet, such as your Internet Service Provider, your company or university.
