Logging and Cookies
As part of MedPoint services, we use cookies. A cookie is a message sent to your browser from a Web server that is stored on your computer's hard drive. The message is sent back to the Web server whenever the browser requests a page from that server. Many commercial Internet sites use cookies. While a code in the cookie file enables the site to label you as a particular user, it does not identify you by name or address unless you have provided the site with such information or set up preferences in your browser to do so automatically. You may opt out of accepting cookies by changing the settings on your browser. However, rejecting cookies may prevent you from using certain functions and you may have to repeatedly enter information to take advantage of services or promotions. In general, cookies allow us to identify you as a particular user and thus provide you with a more customized service. We may also use cookies to track customer or user requests, inquiries and traffic patterns or to determine audience size and repeated usage.

Security procedures to guard against the loss, misuse, alteration, or theft of user information
MedPoint uses industry-standard data-encryption technology when transfering or receiving personal information on this site. We maintain appropriate security measures in our physical facilities to protect against loss, misuse, or alteration of information we have collected from you at our site.

MedPoint uses a secure server and security protocol to safeguard the information users submit.

To help ensure the security of user personal and financial information (other than via an e-mail message), MedPoint uses security software to encrypt the information before and during its transmission through the Internet.

E-mail messages are not secure. MedPoint security software does not encrypt e-mail messages. E-mail messages traveling through the Internet are subject to viewing, alteration, and copying by potentially any party on the Internet.

MedPoint taks seriously the issue of safeguarding user privacy online. However, users should exercise discretion with respect to the submission of any personal or financial information. Transmitting information via the Internet is never completely secure and thus any information submitted may be intercepted, collected, used or disclosed by others. Users should either send confidential correspondence through the postal service or use the telephone to speak directly to our employees. MedPoint is not responsible for the security of confidentiality of communications sent to us through the Internet using e-mail messages.
