Important Terms
When reviewing any online privacy policy, you should familiarize yourself with the terms "personally identifiable information" and "aggregated information." "Personally identifiable information" is any data that can be used to identify, contact, or locate an individual. Common examples include your name and email address. "Aggregated information" groups your behavior or characteristics with those of a larger group. For example, we might inform advertisers that 60% of our users are over 40 without revealing anyone's personal information.
Collection of your information
When you register on the VieSalud website, we collect personally identifiable information, including (but not limited to) your name, physical address, email address, phone numbers, and billing information. All of this information is required; without it, we cannot register you. We also collect personally identifiable information through purchase forms, surveys, sweepstakes entries, emails we receive from you, and your other interactions with our website.
When you use our website, we may collect various technical data, which we store both in aggregate form and, if you are registered with VieSalud, in personally identifiable form. This data includes (but is not limited to) your IP address (a unique number that identifies your internet access account), domain, and web browser information. We can track the page you visited before arriving at the VieSalud website and the page you go to when you leave the VieSalud website, which pages you access, and how long you spend on each page.
The VieSalud website uses "cookies," which are small pieces of information stored on your computer. Cookies allow our website to recognize previous visitors, track a visitor's progress from page to page, and remember certain information a visitor previously entered. For example, a cookie might store your password or indicate that you are interested in electronics. You can choose to refuse our cookies (for example, by setting your browser to refuse cookies), but if you do, some parts of the VieSalud website may not function properly. We may also use tracking images and applets to collect the same information.
We may use third-party advertising companies to display ads on our behalf. These companies may use cookies and action tags (also known as single-pixel GIFs or web beacons ) to measure advertising effectiveness. Any information these third parties collect through cookies and action tags is completely anonymous. We allow third parties to collect aggregated and other anonymous information about our visitors through the VieSalud website. In the event that we enter into agreements that allow third parties to collect personally identifiable information about our visitors, we will inform visitors of these activities at the point of collection. Finally, please note that our website may or may not contain links to other sites on the Internet. Remember that if you click on one of these links, you are leaving our website and entering another. Again, we are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these other websites, and we encourage you to read their privacy statements (which may differ from ours).
Use of your information
This section describes how we use and disclose the information we collect.
We use aggregated information about your behavior and device to improve our website's performance and to evaluate your reaction to our website's content and design. We may use personally identifiable information to personalize the content and layout of our website pages for you, to store your VieSalud account information, to record VieSalud website session information (such as items you've added to your shopping cart), order status, and to store your purchase history.
We also use personally identifiable and aggregated information for various marketing and promotional purposes. For example, we use what we've learned about your preferences to notify you of new areas when you return to our website, or to help us or our business partners target advertising or product placement to your specific interests. Some analysis of purchase patterns may be used for remarketing campaigns and reporting, but none of this data will personally identify buyers and will not be sold to third parties.
From time to time, we will send you emails related to the VieSalud website. At various points during your visits to VieSalud, you will be given the opportunity to indicate your interest in receiving emails about special offers and other promotional information. If you do not wish to receive emails with special offers and promotional information from us, please let us know by unchecking the "email notification" box on the VieSalud website. You can also opt out of this promotional email list after registering by contacting us or by following the "opt-out" instructions that may be included in the emails you receive.
If you provide us with your phone number, you will only receive phone calls from us regarding your VieSalud website account or online orders. We will not share your phone number with other organizations.
