Your Information.  Personal identifying information, such as customer names, street or e-mail addresses, phone numbers, delivery locations, or any other information which, when used by itself or with other data, might identify a customer individually is only collected if a customer sends it to us voluntarily as part of using our service. Personal identifying information also includes personal health information (e.g., health history, including drug and treatment histories, electronic patient records, whether in image or text form, and medical insurance information). We may also use this information to offer you the opportunity to receive notices regarding other MBN products or services and to further personalize your experience on our site. Personal identifying information is used only for our legitimate business interests, to establish customer credit, fulfill contracts for services, billing functions, answer patient questions, and to comply with applicable laws and regulations. At times you may provide personal health information in order to purchase our products or to obtain answers from experts (such as in connection with the MBN bulletin boards, chat rooms and other interactive web pages). If we request personal health information, we agree to maintain the confidentiality of this information in accordance with applicable state and federal laws and regulations. You agree to provide only the personal health information that is specifically asked by us and you shall not submit such information in any other form, including e-mail or through chat rooms, other than through our Secure Server (see Security, below).

We do not sell, rent or disclose your personal identifying information or medical information to any third party, except as described in this section. We may contract with reputable vendors to assist us in processing information or delivering the items that our customers order. These vendors are restricted from using or selling the information for any purpose other than helping us to provide the products and services. We may provide aggregate statistics about our customers, sales, online traffic patterns and related information to reputable third parties, but these statistics will not include any personally identifying or health information. Finally, if disclosure of any information is required by law or by an appropriate government authority, we will comply accordingly.
