Your user name will be visible to any person visiting the bulletin board or reviewing your personal profile. Your password and other registration information is accessible by yourself and the site administrator only.

Your answers from quizzes and surveys are collected:

1. When you participate in Medword's quizzes and surveys. However, any survey or quiz information you provide, or answers you give to questions, cannot be attributed to you personally in any way. Survey information is just added to existing published survey results by a script.

1. Our MT Gab Forum sometimes uses cookies to save your password so you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit the site. This cookie is stored on your computer and only includes information you have agreed to provide. The cookie includes the last time of your visit, so the next time you visit a computer script can display messages on the board within the number of days you set in your preferences as a registered member. Your preferences may be edited at any time. If you no longer want to be a registered member, just e-mail us and we will delete your user name. The site administrator only has access to your password and registration information in order to send this information to you if you forget it.


2. We also use cookies for other purposes. Cookies are also used so quiz and survey respondents cannot complete a given survey more than once and thereby skew the results of the survey. This kind of cookie does not give information on you personally, your computer, your e-mail, or name. It is stored on your computer's hard drive. We do not know the contents of this cookie. The fact that you may have already participated in a survey is only discovered by a script which in turn then tells you that you have already participated. You may view results of surveys without taking part in them and no cookie will be generated.


3. Most browsers allow three options for handling cookies:

• Accept all cookies
• Warn before accepting a cookie
• Reject all cookies

1. We sometimes use an outside ad company to display ads on our site. There also may be special links hidden in some text and product links by third parties. These ads or links may generate cookies that give the advertiser only general information, usually about which of Medword's pages was accessed. While we may use cookies in other parts of our web site, cookies received with banner ads are collected by an ad company, and we do not have access to that information. The banners Medword might display are part of a cooperative venture with reputable companies such as Google.com or Amazon.com.
   

1. This web site does not request any personal information or collect any information that personally identifies you or allows you to be personally contacted unless you explicitly agree.
   

1. Personal information required for payment and shipping of product is collected when someone pays for a product in our Medword Store. Payment information is processed via secure order page submission through a secure server. The information submitted is only viewed by one person at Medword and then is processed by the company whose product you purchased. These companies may retain that information for a period equal to the time required by their local jurisdiction for business tax and accounting purposes. This is similar to how information is eventually stored when paying for goods in person with a check or credit card. These companies do not share the information but use it only for shipping purposes and payment. Personal information on orders canceled and not yet delivered is shredded by Medword. Any personal or financial information you provide on a secure order form is never used again once the order has been filled and shipped, unless it concerns that order directly.

1. The Medword site contains links to many other sites. Medword is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such web sites. Any links reported to Medword as being socially, ethically, or morally unacceptable will be reviewed by Medword and may be left as a link or removed as a link at the sole discretion of Medword. It is Medword's intention to only link to sites with generally socially acceptable content, understanding that "socially acceptable content" is a very general term open to many interpretations. In each case, Medword will be the sole and exclusive arbiter or interpreter of what is acceptable unless limited by applicable law.
   

1. Medword receives commissions, finder's fees, and other revenue by reselling books, software, videos, and other products sold for companies and other partners found on our site who pay Medword for referrals to their site. If you click on one of these links and buy products or services from them, you are bound by that seller's privacy policy, return policy, guarantees, and other warranties. These companies may have their own privacy policies and statements, separate and apart from Medword's, and you may want to review them before giving any personal or sensitive information to them.


2. Medword has been a member of various reliability programs. These programs allow buyers a means of verifying Medword's reliability as a seller of goods on the Internet. Both of the aforementioned monitoring parties allow you to report on Medword indirectly. Please be aware that Medword's participation in these programs does not constitute an endorsement of products we may sell.
