About Your Privacy

Rowan Medical Privacy Notice
Rowan Medical knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting RowanMedical.com, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice.

What Personal Information About Customers Does RowanMedical.com Gather?
The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience. Here are the types of information we gather.

Information You Give Us - We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving our retail store, and communicating with you.

Automatic Information - We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many websites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses RowanMedical.com.

Some companies offer utilities designed to help you visit websites anonymously. Although we will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience at RowanMedical.com if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.

E-mail Communications - To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from RowanMedical.com if your computer supports such capabilities.

What About Cookies?
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide additional features such as storage of items in your shopping cart between visits.

The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Currenly, the RMF site does not use cookies, but RMF reserves the right to utilize this technology in the future.

Does RowanMedical.com Share the Information It Receives?
Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only as described below.

Agents - We use other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, and processing credit card payments. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.

Promotional Offers - Sometimes we send offers to selected groups of RowanMedical.com customers on behalf of other businesses. When we do this, we do not give that business your name and address. If you do not want to receive such offers, please modify your customer preferences.

Protection of RowanMedical.com and Others - We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Conditions of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of RowanMedical.com, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice.

How Secure Is Information About Me?
We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input.

We reveal only the last five digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing.

It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

Which Information Can I Access?
RowanMedical.com gives you access to a broad range of information about your account and your interactions with RowanMedical.com for the limited purpose of viewing and, in certain cases, updating that information.

What Choices Do I Have?
As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to make a purchase or to take advantage of special RowanMedical.com features.

You can add or update certain information on pages such as those listed in the "Which Information Can I Access?" section above. When you update information, we usually keep a copy of the prior version for our records.

If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please modify your customer preferences. (If you do not want to receive Conditions of Use and other legal notices from us, such as this Privacy Notice, those notices will still govern your use of RowanMedical.com and it is your responsibility to review them for changes.)

The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, you will not be able to use certain features on our website if you do not use cookies.

The Federal Trade Commission provides useful information about online privacy on its own website, Site Seeing on the Internet.

Children
RowanMedical.com does not sell products for purchase by children. We sell children's products for purchase by adults. If you are under 18, you may use RowanMedical.com only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.

If you choose to visit RowanMedical.com, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this Notice and our Conditions of Use, including limitations on damages, arbitration of disputes, and application of the law of the State of North Carolina. If you have any concern about privacy at RowanMedical.com, please send us a thorough description to feedback@RowanMedical.com, and we will try to resolve it.

Our business changes constantly, and our Privacy Notice and the Conditions of Use will change also. We may e-mail periodic reminders of our notices and conditions, unless you have instructed us not to, but you should check our website frequently to see recent changes. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Notice applies to all information that we have about you and your account. We stand behind the promises we make, however, and will never materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of customer information collected in the past without the consent of affected customers.

Information You Give Us
You provide most such information when you search, buy, or communicate with customer service. You provide information, for example, when you search for a product; place an order through RowanMedical.com; provide information in Your Account (and you might have more than one if you have used more than one e-mail address when shopping with us) or About You; communicate with us by phone, e-mail, or otherwise; complete a questionnaire or a contest entry form.

As a result of those actions, you might supply us with such information as your name, address, and phone numbers; credit card information; people to whom purchases have been shipped, including addresses and phone number; and financial information, including Social Security and driver's license numbers.

Automatic Information
Examples of the information we collect and analyze include the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet; login; e-mail address; password; computer and connection information such as browser type and version, operating system, and platform; purchase history, the full Uniform Resource Locator (URL) clickstream to, through, and from our website, including date and time; cookie number; products you viewed or searched for; the phone number you used to call our 800 number.

During some visits we may use software tools such as JavaScript to measure and collect session information, including page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and methods used to browse away from the page.

Information from Other Sources
Examples of information we receive from other sources include updated delivery and address information from our carriers or other third parties, which we use to correct our records and deliver your next purchase or communication more easily; account information, purchase or redemption information, and page-view information, search results and links, including paid listings (such as Sponsored Links from Google); and credit history information from credit bureaus, which we use to help prevent and detect fraud and to offer certain credit or financial services to some customers.

Information You Can Access
Examples of information you can access easily at RowanMedical.com include up-to-date information regarding recent orders; personally identifiable information (including name, e-mail, password, and communications preferences); payment settings; and e-mail notification settings.
