This Privacy Notice exclusively applies to the Medical Supplies Online Store website (https://www.MedicalSuppliesOnlineStore.com). Separate websites, subdomains, and applications may exist for affiliates and subsidiaries of Medical Supplies Online Store, and they are subject to their own distinct Privacy Notices. Additionally, business partners, ad networks, and other third parties associated with Medical Supplies Online Store may operate their own websites and services, which have their own privacy practices. We encourage you to review their respective privacy notices and familiarize yourself with their privacy practices.

Tracking Technologies, We Employ

We utilize various technologies to collect personal information about visitors and users of this website. These technologies include:

 

Web server logs

As is customary with most websites, we automatically gather certain information and store it in log files. This information may encompass IP addresses, browser types, operating systems, date/time stamps, and/or clickstream data. We may link this automatically-collected data to other information we collect about you.

 

Use of Hotjar

We use Hotjar in order to better understand our users’ needs and to optimize this service and experience. Hotjar is a technology service that helps us better understand our users’ experience (e.g., how much time they spend on which pages, which links they choose to click, what users do and don’t like, etc.) and this enables us to build and maintain our service with user feedback.

 

Hotjar uses cookies and other technologies to collect data on our users’ behavior and their devices. This includes a device’s IP address (processed during your session and stored in a de-identified form), device screen size, device type (unique device identifiers), browser information, geographic location (country only), and the preferred language used to display our website. Hotjar stores this information on our behalf in a pseudonymized user profile. Hotjar is contractually forbidden to sell any of the data collected on our behalf.

Cookies

We utilize cookies, which uniquely identify your device or user account associated with this site or service. You can control the use of cookies by adjusting your browser preferences at any time. Please note that rejecting cookies may restrict your ability to fully utilize certain features or areas of our site, though you can still access our site.

 

Geolocation Services

If you enable location-based services, we may collect information about your location for trend analysis. Your browser or device may utilize various technologies, such as sensor data, to determine your location, such as nearby Wi-Fi access points and cell towers. You can opt out of geolocation collection by modifying your browser or device settings.

Other Tracking Technologies

We employ web beacons and pixel tags. Web beacons (also known as single pixel gifs or web bugs) are internet tools, such as transparent images on the website or in emails we may send you, that assist us in determining, for example, whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened. A pixel tag is a type of web beacon embedded in an image on the website. In general, any electronic image viewed as part of a web page, including a banner ad, may contain a pixel tag.

We also utilize local storage, such as HTML5, to collect and store content information and preferences. Our third-party partners, who provide specific features or display advertising on our site, may also employ local storage, such as HTML5, to collect and store information. Various browsers may provide their own management tools for removing HTML5 local storage.

 

These technologies are employed to gather customer demographic information, identify usage trends, and track customer activity on our platforms. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies from companies such as Google Analytics, both on an individual and aggregated basis. Please click here for more information on Google Analytics’ privacy practices and opt-out options.

 

How We Respond to “Do Not Track” Signals

Certain web browsers feature a “Do Not Track” functionality that allows you to inform visited websites of your preference not to have your online activity tracked over time and across websites. However, these features are not yet universally standardized across browsers and do not enjoy broad support. This website is not configured to respond to “Do Not Track” signals.

  • Processing your orders
  • Providing reporting or data analytics services
  • Facilitating error detection and debugging

Sharing of Personal Information

Medical Supplies Online Store does not sell personal information about you to third parties. However, we may disclose your personal information to third-party service providers who assist us with various business activities, such as marketing and payment processing services. These companies are authorized to use your personal information solely for the purpose of providing services to us.

Under certain circumstances, we may also need to share information with companies, organizations, or individuals outside of Medical Supplies Online Store. This will only occur if we have a good faith belief that accessing, using, preserving, or disclosing that information is reasonably necessary to:

  • Comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or enforceable governmental requests
  • Enforce applicable Terms of Use, including investigating potential violations
  • Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues
  • Protect against harm to the rights, property, or safety of our users, Medical Supplies Online Store, or the public, as required or permitted by law
