MedicalRite, which is operated by Dealmed Medical Supplies, LLC, which is owned by TH Laennec LLC (collectively, “MedicalRite,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) provide this Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) to describe how we collect, use, and share the information of individuals who visit our website located at www.medicalrite.com (the “Site”).

When using our Site, you may voluntarily provide information about yourself, including your name, telephone number and email address, shipping and billing information, payment information, and any other information you choose to provide. For example, we collect some or all of this information when you place an order on our site, join our email list, contact us, or interact with us for any other purpose.
We automatically collect information relating to your interactions with us and our Site, including browser type, IP address, precise geolocation (for fraud purposes), pages visited and other activities on the Site, including items ordered, device type, and time and date of visit, and other information we collect through the use of cookies and similar technology.

Information Sharing
We may share the information we collect with other parties, including the following:
- With third-party service providers who process information on our behalf, such as payment processors, data hosting services, content delivery networks, fraud prevention, shipping couriers, and email service providers;
- With our ecommerce platform;

We may share information that has been de-identified or aggregated without limitation.
The Site may offer interactive features, such as the ability to leave reviews, that you can use to communicate with other Site visitors or to submit and post your own content. If you disclose information in one of these forums, this information can be viewed, collected, and used by others.
Digital Advertising and Analytics
We may partner with ad networks and other ad serving providers that serve ads on behalf of us and others on non-affiliated platforms. Some of those ads may be personalized, meaning that they are intended to be relevant to you based on information advertising providers collect about your use of the Site and other sites or apps over time, including information about relationships among different browsers and devices. This type of advertising is known as interest-based advertising.
We may work with third parties that collect data about your use of the Site and other sites or apps over time for non-advertising purposes. For example, MedicalRite uses Analytics, Shopify, Bing/Microsoft, Google Tag Manager, and Google Ads to improve the performance of the Site and for analytics and marketing purposes. For more information about how Google Analytics collects and uses data when you use our Site, visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners, and to opt out of Google Analytics, visit tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. We have engaged Inspectlet to analyze the activities of visitors to this website, and Inspectlet’s authorized use of cookies and other tracking technologies enable it to have access to Personal Information of visitors to this website. Such access to and use of Personal Information by Inspectlet is governed by Inspectlet's Privacy Policy. For more information about how Inspectlet collects and uses data when you use our Site, visit https://docs.inspectlet.com/hc/en-us/articles/212289268-What-cookies-does-Inspectlet-use-. You can opt-out here: https://www.inspectlet.com/optout.
Additionally, your browser may offer tools to limit the use of cookies or to delete cookies; however, if you use these tools, our Site may not function as intended.
Third-Party Links and Tools
The Site may provide links to third-party websites or apps. We do not control the privacy practices of those websites or apps, and they are not covered by this Privacy Policy. You should review the privacy policies of other websites or apps that you use to learn about their data practices.
The Site also includes integrated social media tools or “plug-ins,” such as social networking tools offered by third parties. If you use these tools to share personal information or you otherwise interact with these features on the Site, those companies may collect information about you and may use and share such information in accordance with your account settings, including by sharing such information with the general public.
Your interactions with third-party companies and your use of their features are governed by the privacy policies of the companies that provide those features. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policies of any accounts you create and use.
Cookies / Tracking Technology / Logfiles
Like many sites, the Site employs cookies and web beacons (also known as clear GIF technology or “action tags”) to speed up your navigation of the Site, recognize you and your access privileges, and track your Site usage.
Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored as text files by your Internet browser on your computer’s hard drive. Most Internet browsers are initially set to accept cookies. You can set your browser to refuse cookies from web sites or to remove cookies from your hard drive, but if you do, you will not be able to access or use portions of the Site. We have to use cookies to enable you to select products, place them in an online shopping cart, and to purchase those products. If you do this, we keep a record of your browsing activity and purchases.
Web beacons assist in delivering cookies and help us determine whether a web page on the Site or emails has been viewed and, if so, how many times. For example, any electronic image on the Site, such as an ad banner, can function as a web beacon.
We may use third-party advertising companies to help tailor site content to users or to serve ads on our behalf. These companies may employ cookies and web beacons to measure advertising effectiveness (such as the web pages visited or products purchased and in what amount).
Log Files. As is true of most websites, the Site server automatically recognizes the Internet URL from which you access the Site. We may also log your Internet protocol address, Internet service provider, and date/time stamp for system administration, order verification, internal marketing, and system troubleshooting purposes. (An IP address may indicate the location of your computer on the Internet.)
See the Digital Advertising & Analytics section of this privacy notice to learn more about the use of this information and the choices available to you.
Please see our Cookie Policy for more information.
Retention
We will process and store your information only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of the storage, or as permitted by law. The criteria used to determine the period of storage of information is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding information is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of a contract or the initiation of a contract. Our ecommerce platform retains your transaction information as do our shipping partners.
Commitment to Data Security
To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.
For payments we are using a certified payment gateway provider. All credit card details are encrypted pursuant to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). All payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. We therefore do not keep your full credit card information.
While we use industry-standard precautions to safeguard your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee complete security. 100% complete security does not presently exist anywhere online or offline.
