Online Privacy Policy
Note: Medical Informatics Engineering, Inc.
will be referred to as "MIE" in the following disclaimer.
By accessing or using the Mieweb.com Web site, you agree to the terms of the MIE
Online Privacy Policy, as outlined below. If you do not agree to these terms,
please do not access or use this site. MIE reserves the right to change the
Online Privacy Policy from time to time at its sole discretion. Your use of
this site will be subject to the most current version of the Online Privacy
Policy at the time of such use.
Collection of personal information.
When you engage in certain activities
on this site–such as ordering or registering products, downloading software, or
entering contests–MIE may ask you to provide certain information about yourself.
It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities. If you elect to
engage in these activities, however, MIE may ask that you fill out and submit an
online form that calls for such personal information as your first and last name,
mailing address (including zip code), e-mail address, employer, job title and
department, telephone and facsimile numbers, and so on. When ordering products or
services on the site, you may be asked to provide a credit-card number. Depending
upon the activity, some of the information that we ask you to provide is identified
as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with
respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.
When you submit personal information to MIE on this site, you understand and agree
that this information may be transferred across national boundaries and may be
stored and processed in any of the countries in which MIE and its affiliates and
subsidiaries maintain offices, including, without limitation, the United States.
You also acknowledge that in certain countries or with respect to certain activities,
the collection, transfer, storage, and processing of your information may be undertaken
by trusted vendors of MIE.
How your personal information is used.
MIE collects your information in order to record and support your participation in
the activities you select. If you order a product that is to be electronically downloaded,
for example, the information is used to register your license and rights, if any, to
technical support, upgrade discounts, or other benefits that may be made available to
registered users. If you enter a contest, information is collected to qualify the entry
and contact you regarding the contest or prize awards. The information that you provide
is also used as part of our effort to keep you informed about product upgrades and special
offers.
Your choices with respect to personal information.
MIE recognizes and appreciates the importance of responsible use of information
collected on this site. If you do not want the information you provide to MIE to
be used to inform you of other products, services, and special offers available
from MIE, and you indicate this preference when you provide your personal information
to MIE, MIE will honor your preference. MIE reserves the right to provide aggregate
data to third parties for statistical analysis. Such data will not be linked to any
particular individuals.
Protection of your personal information.
Personal information that you provide resides on a secure server that only selected
MIE personnel and contractors have access to via password. MIE encrypts your personal
information and thereby prevents unauthorized parties from viewing such information
when it is transmitted to MIE. Since this information is not accessible from outside
MIE, you will not be asked to select a password in order to view or modify such
information. Please note that any information you post to a public bulletin board
or chat room is available to all persons accessing that site.
Use of cookies.
When you visit Mieweb.com, you can surf the site anonymously and access important
information without revealing your identity. In order to improve our site, we use
"cookies" to track your visit. A cookie is a small amount of data that is
transferred to your browser by a Web server and can only be read by the server that
gave it to you. It functions as your identification card, recording your passwords,
purchases, and preferences. It cannot be executed as code, and it cannot deliver viruses.
Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. You can set your browser to notify
you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept
it. (For some Web pages that require an authorization, cookies are not optional. Users
choosing not to accept cookies will probably not be able to access those pages.)
While MIE uses cookies to track your visit to Mieweb.com, and our Web servers automatically
log the IP/Internet address of your computer, this information does not identify you
personally. You remain anonymous unless you have otherwise provided MIE with personal
information.
Updating your personal information.
You have the right to request that corrections or changes be made to your personal
information and privacy preferences. Personal information submitted through this site
is not accessible online. You may correct your personal information and privacy
preferences by writing or calling MIE at:
Medical Informatics
Engineering, Inc.

Please include your name, address, and/or e-mail address when you contact us.

Privacy-related complaints.

to your personal information, you may write the MIE Privacy Officer at the address
indicated above. In your letter, please describe in as much detail as possible the
ways in which you believe that we have not complied with the MIE Online Privacy
Policy. We will investigate your complaint promptly.
Please note, however, that if you provide MIE with inconsistent privacy preferences–for
example, by indicating on one occasion that MIE may contact you with marketing offers and
indicating on another occasion that we may not–MIE cannot guarantee that your most recent
privacy preference will be honored.
Also, please note that MIE is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of non-MIE
Web sites to which Mieweb.com or any other MIE Web site may link.
