site is owned and operated by HorizonHealthOnline.com.
Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance
to us. At HorizonHealthOnline.com, we want to make your

Because
we gather certain types of information about our users,
we feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions
surrounding the capture and use of that information. This
privacy statement discloses what information we gather
and how we use it.
Definition
of the Information HorizonHealthOnline.com gathers and
keeps track of.

-Information
HorizonHealthOnline.com gathers through aggregated tracking
information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout
our sites. This information allows us to better tailor
our content to readers' needs and to help our advertisers
and sponsors better understand the demographics of our
audience. Under no circumstances does HorizonHealthOnline.com
divulge any information about an individual user to a
third party.
HorizonHealthOnline.com
Gathers User Information In The Following Processes:
Optional
Voluntary Information
We
offer the following free services, which require some
type of voluntary submission of personal information by
users:
1.
Electronic newsletters (Dispatches)
We
will offer a free electronic newsletter to users. HorizonHealthOnline.com
gathers the email addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe.
Users may remove themselves from this mailing list by
following the link provided in every newsletter that points
users to the subscription management page. Users can also
subscribe to the newsletters at the time of registration.
2.
Polling
We
may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily
share their opinions with other users and see what our
audience thinks about important issues. Opinions or other
responses to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable
to any particular user. HorizonHealthOnline.com may use
a system to "tag" users after they have voted, so they
can vote only once on a particular question. This tag
is not correlated with information about individual users.
3.
Surveys
HorizonHealthOnline.com
may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target
our content to our audience. We sometimes share the aggregated
demographic information in these surveys with our sponsors,
advertisers and partners. We never share any of this information
about specific individuals with any third party.

Consistent
with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection
Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally
identifiable information from anyone under the age of
13 without requesting parental consent.
USAGE
TRACKING
HorizonHealthOnline.com
tracks user traffic patterns throughout all of our sites.
However, we do not correlate this information with data
about individual users. HorizonHealthOnline.com does break
down overall usage statistics according to a user's domain
name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information
from the browser string (information contained in every
user's browser).
HorizonHealthOnline.com
sometimes tracks and catalogs the search terms that users
enter in our Search function, but this tracking is never
associated with individual users. We use tracking information
to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't
like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track
what individual users read, but rather how well each page
performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better
service for you.
COOKIES
We
may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser
files of your computer. The cookie itself does not contain
Personal Information although it will enable us to relate
your use of this site to information that you have specifically
and knowingly provided. But the only personal information
a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself.
A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie
files created by other sites. HorizonHealthOnline.com
uses cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described
above). Our advertising system delivers a one-time cookie
to better track ad impressions and click rates.
You
can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser.
If you've set your browser to warn you before accepting
cookies, you will receive the warning message with each
cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use
this site. However, you do need cookies to participate
actively in polling and surveys.

USE
OF INFORMATION
HorizonHealthOnline.com
uses any information voluntarily given by our users to
enhance their experience in our network of sites, whether
to provide interactive or personalized elements on the
sites or to better prepare future content based on the
interests of our users.
As
stated above, we use information that users voluntarily
provide in order to send out electronic newsletters and
to enable users to participate in polls, surveys, message
boards, and forums. We send out newsletters to subscribers
on a regular schedule (depending on the newsletter), and
occasionally send out special editions when we think subscribers
might be particularly interested in something we are doing.
HorizonHealthOnline.com never shares newsletter mailing
lists with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors
or partners.
When
we use tracking information to determine which areas of
our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to
those areas. We do not track what individual users read,
but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps
us continue to build a better service for you. We track
search terms entered in Search function as one of many
measures of what interests our users. But we don't track
which terms a particular user enters.
HorizonHealthOnline.com
creates aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic
patterns for advertisers, sponsors and partners. This
allows our advertisers to advertise more effectively,
and allows our users to receive advertisements that are
pertinent to their needs. Because we don't track the usage
patterns of individual users, an advertiser or sponsor
will never know that a specific user clicked their ad.
We will not disclose any information about any individual
user except to comply with applicable law or valid legal
process or to protect the personal safety of our users
or the public.
