Privacy Policy
Introduction
We present this policy to give you a clear understanding of how we operate our website and how we handle your personal information.
This privacy policy may be revised periodically. We recommend that you read from time to time our privacy policy posted on our website at www.medforma.com in case you missed our notice of updates or changes to the policy.
When you simply visit and navigate our website, we will not collect personal information about you unless you provide us that information voluntarily. By "personal information," we mean data that is unique to an individual, such as a name, address, e-mail address or telephone number.
Registration
We require you to register for certain services, including our Health Portrait™ Health, Lifestyle and Readiness Assessment (HLRA) and all our interactive Behavior Change programs and information, Group Portrait™ reports, and other features, including printing and emailing personal and company reports. When you use these features, we will clearly disclose what information is required, what information is optional and how that information may be used.
When you register and participate in our services, we require certain information: e-mail address, age, gender, self reported health information, etc. We also ask you to select a personal password. In addition, if your company is providing this service we generally have additional information, including your company's name, city, state and country.
We use this information to produce health reports for you and your company in aggregate form only. In other words, we combine the information with data collected from you and other individuals in your group to produce anonymous, aggregated statistical information. We do not generate reports on less than 50 employees as required by law (HIPPA). We may also collect general use demographic information, such as the percentage of female visitors or the number of visitors of a certain age, in order to improve the content of our site. We also may share this anonymous, aggregated information, which does not identify individuals, with partners, or other third parties. In instances where third parties may receive anonymous, aggregated user information collected on our site, our agreements with the third parties, including partners, generally provide that the third parties will not use the anonymous, aggregated user information to identify individual users or sell, disclose or provide access to any user information collected on our site that would identify any individual or connect any individual to specific illnesses or conditions.
We treat any personal information you give us as confidential. Medforma Health Portrait™ will not disclose to third parties any identifying personal information gathered from you during registration other features unless (1) we tell you how your information will be used and you give Medforma Health Portrait™ specific permission to share this information or (2) Medforma Health Portrait™ is required to disclose such information by any applicable law or legal process (like a subpoena or court order). Where we disclose identifying personal information to third parties with your authorization, we will require the recipient to use the information only for the purpose provided.
Security of Information
We commit to use security procedures to protect personal information you submit to us from misuse or unauthorized disclosure. The personal information that you submit to us is stored in our secure database behind an electronic firewall. You can access your personal information only by using a password. We encourage you to change your password regularly and not to share it with anyone. We encrypt your stored password for your privacy.
Access to the data within Medforma Health Portrait™ is limited to a few computer technicians for our site who need to maintain the database and who also use passwords for that access, as well as outside vendors who may occasionally assist us in maintaining and improving our hardware and software tools.
Medforma Health Portrait™ makes every effort to safeguard your personal information. However, like other Internet sites, we cannot guarantee that it is completely secure from people who might attempt to evade security measures or intercept transmissions over the Internet.
Similarly, we cannot completely ensure the privacy of e-mail communications to and from our site because they are not encrypted and, therefore, not secure. These communications, like most Internet e-mail, could be intercepted without your knowledge and permission, while in transit to or from our site. This includes e-mail you send to us through our various mailboxes and information e-mailed from our site to others such as "Send this page". If you are concerned about your privacy, we suggest that you do not use e-mail to communicate information to us that you consider sensitive.
Changing or Deleting Your Personal Information
You can change the personal information in your Medforma Health Portrait™ profile at any time by clicking on the tool and typing over a previous answer. If you forget your password, you may reset your password in the Account Settings area of the website and we will e-mail a link to you that will allow you to change your password in our secure website. As with most e-mails, this transmission is not secure.
Unsubscribing from our site does not delete your personal information from our system. We will delete your personal registration information from the active and searchable areas of our system at your request. Be aware, however, that it is not feasible for us to remove every electronic record that may contain your data. We cannot remove copies of your information that may exist in records we create as backup in case our main data is lost. We also cannot delete information from anonymous, aggregated databases. This information cannot be linked to you. Medforma Health Portrait™ maintains and archives all personally-identifiable information provided by users. This data is retained in our archives and not deleted.
If you registered for our newsletter, blogs etc. and also want that information removed, please note that in your request. Please inform us if you used a different e-mail address or password when registering for these communication services. To have your registration information removed, send your request by e-mail to info@Medforma.com. You will receive a confirmation from us.

An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) whenever you access the Internet.

However, to allow users to access our site anonymously, your IP address is not linked with personal information about you. Medforma Health Portrait™ reserves the right, in rare instances, to use IP addresses to identify individuals who abuse our security and terms of use.
