Website Privacy Policy

Privacy Principles 

Effective 11.22.2013. Healthcare Finance Direct, LLC (“HFD”) is committed to protecting any personal information that you may provide to us. In particular, we believe it is important for you to know how we treat information about you that we may receive from this site. We ask that you read this Website Privacy Policy completely before using our site. Our Website Privacy Policy is applicable to HFD’s customers and visitors when they access and use our site and may not be applicable to transactions performed and information collected in channels other than this site. This site is not directed to or intended for individuals under 18 years of age. This Website Privacy Policy describes the types of information HFD collects from visitors to this site, what we do with this information and how visitors can update and control the use of information they provide on the site. This statement applies solely to information that visitors provide through our site. This Website Privacy Policy does not apply to other data we collect, including data collected on other sites, such as separate sites operated by our Affiliates or business partners, or other information visitors may provide to us through other means. 

Visitors to our Website 

There are portions of this site where we may need to collect personally identifiable information about you (such as your address, phone number and other information) for identification purposes or to fulfill your online requests. We may obtain information about you directly from you, through your use of our products and services and from third parties (such as credit bureaus and demographic firms). Any use by us of your personal information will be pursuant to the privacy policy provided to you in connection with your account with us. In addition, when you visit our site, our web servers may collect the name of the domain you used to access the Internet (such as google.com), which pages on our site you visited and when they were visited, your Internet browser type and platform, the link that brought you to our site and any links clicked within our site. This information may be used by us, our service providers, affiliates and business partners to measure the number of visits, average time spent, page views and other statistics about visitors to our site. We also use this data to monitor site performance and make the site easier and more convenient to use.  

Cookies 

Our web servers may (as many Web sites do) place a “cookie” (a small data file) on your computer’s hard drive which allows the server to recognize your computer when it visits again and track statistical information about your visit to our site and to promotions on other sites. This cookie is not used to obtain your name or any personal data, and the information that is tracked is used only for internal purposes, such as to improve site navigation and to measure the effectiveness of our site and is not shared with anyone other than HFD affiliates and contractors who assist HFD in these efforts and who are bound to confidentiality. However, if you prefer not to accept cookies, you can set your browser to reject them or to alert you before one is placed. We may use a third-party technology to place our advertisements on other Web sites. This technology will install a small “cookie” file on your computer when you view our ad. These cookies will not contain any information that personally identifies you (such as your name or e-mail address) but they will contain a randomly generated number that is unique to your browser and can be recognized by a “Web beacon” (transparent GIF file) on our site if you click through to our site from one of our ads. This allows us to keep track of how many unique visitors we have to our site and from what ads they entered, so that we can measure the effectiveness of our ads and ad placements. The privacy policies of the Websites on which we advertise, and through which the cookies are installed should inform you about the cookie, and you may of course set your browser to reject cookies. When you connect to us using a mobile application, we may use cookies or Web beacons and other methods to customize your browsing experience. If you use any location-enabled products, you may be sending us location information. HFD does not store or use this information other than to provide the service you requested. 

Information Collected from Customers 

HFD may also collect and use information about our customers in order to provide products and services, administer our account relationships, and better serve our customers’ needs. Customers may provide us with information in connection with an application for a product or service, to update information after an account is opened, or when our customers communicate with us electronically, by mail or over the telephone. 

Protecting Children’s Privacy Online 

This Website is not intended for persons under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from or about children under 18 years of age and we do not knowingly market our products or services to children less than 18 years of age.  

Controls & Protecting your Information 

We may use information you provide us through this site to respond to your questions and requests; provide customer support or to provide specified services to you.
