Please read this Policy carefully; by accessing and/or using this Site, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth below. The term “Individually Identifiable Information” in this Policy means information or a combination of information that you provide to us through the Internet and that can be used to identify you; it also includes information, provided by you, that is personal to you and/or your mental or physical health. St. Vincent does not sell Individually Identifiable Information. St. Vincent will not knowingly disclose, without your consent, your Individually Identifiable Information or the subjects that you search while visiting the Site, to any third party, unless under exceptional circumstances as may be required by law or to protect legal rights.

Accordingly, if you wish to keep any medical information confidential, please DO NOT disclose that information here. Use of IP Addresses: An Internet Protocol Address (IP Address) is a general indicator of the location from which you are accessing the Internet. An IP Address is generally a set of numbers that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you log on to your internet service provider or computer network. St. Vincent may collect IP Addresses for purposes such as, but not limited to, reporting aggregate, non-identifying information regarding Site visitors to our advertisers, or helping us audit and administer our Site. We do not link our users’ IP Addresses to Individually Identifiable Information. Although we may have a record of each user’s session with our Site, the user will remain anonymous with regards to any information generated during the session. St. Vincent may monitor the frequency with which our Site is visited, and the manner in which the Site is accessed. Again, this information will only be collected in the aggregate, as non-identifying information that we use internally to help us audit and administer the Site. Cookies: A cookie is a piece of information that a web site transfers to the hard drive of your computer when you visit that site.

Except for information regarding your comings and goings, the only personal information stored in a cookie is information that you supply yourself – a cookie cannot read data off your hard drive or read other cookies created by other sites. St. Vincent does not store Individually Identifiable Information about you in any cookie file. St. Vincent may, however, use cookies to track our users’ patterns of use on the Site. By showing when and how you and other users visit the Site, in the aggregate, cookies help us to see which pages of the Site are popular and which are not. This helps us improve the Site, eliminating pages that are unpopular, and updating and improving frequently visited pages.
