Privacy Policy
This privacy policy describes ProZono’s current policies and
practices with regard to personal data collected by ProZono through its
websites, www.prozono.com(hereinafter referred to collectively as “ProZono’s
websites”). This privacy policy is independent from ProZono’s offline personal
data collection practices. The term “personal data” refers to personally
identifiable information about you, such as your name, birth date, e-mail
address or mailing address, and any other information that is identified with
you personally, including your individual health information.
Notification of
Changes to This Policy.
ProZono is continually improving and adding new
functionality and features to its websites and improving and adding to our
existing products, services, and programs. Because of these ongoing changes, changes
in the law, and the changing nature of technology, ProZono’s data practices
will change from time to time. If and when our data practices change, ProZono
will post the changes on our websites to notify you of the changes. We
encourage you to check this page frequently. This policy was last updated on

Personal Data Collected Through www.prozono.com.
The only personal data ProZono currently collects through
its websites is the information you voluntarily give us when you use our sites.
For example, you may use this site to contact ProZono with
questions and comments. When you fill out a form on our websites, you may
provide your name and other contact information, including your company’s name,
your e-mail address, and your mailing address or the mailing address of your
company or other personal information.
Use of Personal Data Collected Through www.prozono.com.
ProZono uses the personal data information you provide to
answer the query you will have posted through the site. ProZono and our
affiliates also use this information to help us improve the content and
functionality of our websites, to better understand our customers and markets,
and to improve our products and services. ProZono and our affiliates may use
this information to contact you in the future to tell you about products or
services we believe will be of interest to you. If we do so, each communication
we send you will contain instructions permitting you to “opt-out” of receiving
future communications.
Similarly, we may provide “subscription” e-mail services,
either directly or through affiliates, which enable you to receive current news
about ProZono and its business. For all such services, we will provide an
opportunity to “opt-out” of, or cancel, the subscription.

Anonymous Data Collected Through www.prozono.com.
In addition to the information you provide when you use our
websites, ProZono uses technology to collect anonymous information about the
use of our websites. For example, we use technology to track how many visitors
access our websites, the date and time of their visit, the length of their
stay, and which pages they view. We also use technology to determine which web
browsers our visitors use and the address from which they accessed our sites
(for example, if they connected to a ProZono website by clicking on one of our
banner ads).
This technology does not identify you personally. It simply
enables us to compile statistics about our visitors and their use of our sites.
ProZono and our affiliates use this anonymous data and share it with third
parties to improve the content and functionality of our websites, to better
understand our customers and markets, and to improve our products and services.

in United Kingdom and overseas who act for or on behalf of ProZono or our affiliates
(for example, companies that provide support services to us, including data
processing services, or that help us market our products and services). These
companies may need information about you in order to perform their functions.
These companies are not authorized to use the information we share with them
for any other purpose. In addition, there may be some other, limited
circumstances in which ProZono or our affiliates may share or transfer the
personal data in our databases, for example, to comply with a legal
requirement, for the administration of justice, to protect your vital
interests, or in the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization,
dissolution, or similar event.
While no method of data transmission is guaranteed against
unlawful third party interception or other misuse, ProZono uses commercially
reasonable efforts to ensure protection of your data including
industry-standard encryption and offline security methods in our physical
facilities.
