Privacy Policy
WiseMEDS, LLC ("WiseMEDS") operates wisemeds.com and may operate other websites. It is WiseMEDS’ policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
- WEBSITE VISITORS:
- Like most website operators, WiseMEDS collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. WiseMEDS’ purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how WiseMEDS’ visitors use its website. From time to time, WiseMEDS may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
- WiseMEDS also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on wisemeds.com blogs/sites. WiseMEDS only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
- GATHERING OF PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION:
- Certain visitors to WiseMEDS’ websites choose to interact with WiseMEDS in ways that require WiseMEDS to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that WiseMEDS gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at www.wisemeds.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with WiseMEDS are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, WiseMEDS collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with WiseMEDS. WiseMEDS does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
- Visitors who wish to complete the Comprehensive Wellness Evaluation may do so free of charge. Those who complete the Evaluation are asked a number of questions pertaining to personal identification and health history. The only personal identifiers are first name and email address, which are used to send your Personalized Wellness Plan to the email address you provide. By providing your email address, you agree to giving us permission to email your Personalized Wellness Plan and add you to our email mailing list.

If you send us a request (for example via email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. WiseMEDS takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
