1. Information We Collect

In describing our collection, use, and sharing of information in this Policy, we refer to our collection and use of “Personal Information”. “Personal Information”, as used in this Policy, is personally identifiable information, which is information that directly identifies an individual, such as first and last name, mailing address, email address, demographics or other online contact information, or telephone number. We collect Personal Information, as well as non-personally identifiable information on SCI Medic, Inc. Sites and/or Services.

We collect Personal Information in two ways. First, we collect information you provide to us in optional, voluntary submissions, such as in registration forms, user profiles and promotional signups.

SCI Medic, Inc. never gives away information about our users. If you choose to provide Personal Information about yourself, SCI Medic, Inc. will use this information only to communicate directly with you. SCI Medic, Inc. will not sell, rent or otherwise disclose that information to third parties unless such disclosure is necessary for the purposes set forth in this Policy, by law or a policy or notice contained or associated with a specific Site(s) and/or Service(s).
