Veritas Health is committed to maintaining the privacy of your online information; it is our priority to build your trust and confidence. Internet privacy is an issue that we take very seriously.

It is important for you to know what information is collected about you, what options you have concerning your information, how that information is used, with whom the information is shared, how we protect your information, and finally, how to contact us if you have additional questions or concerns.

We encourage you to take some time and read our entire Privacy Policy.

Information Veritas Health Collects about Our Visitors

Veritas Health and its Web sites may collect information that can be categorized as non-personal information or personal information.

Non-Personal Information

Non-personal information is information that cannot be traced back to you or any specific individual. For example, Veritas Health knows how many searches are queried each day on its Web sites, but does not know the names, email addresses, or gender of the people searching.

Each time a visitor comes to a Veritas Health Web site, we collect some information to improve the overall quality of the online experience, including product monitoring, product improvement, and targeted advertising. At the Veritas Health Web sites, basic anonymous information is collected by our Web servers, such as the visitor’s Internet service provider (ISP) (e.g., whether the user is logged on from AOL or Comcast), referral data (e.g., which search engine a user visited and used prior to clicking through to Veritas Health), and technical data (e.g., browser, platform, connection speed). We may use this information in the administration of our sites, diagnosing problems with our servers, improving site usability, and analyzing trends.

In addition to collecting these types of information, Veritas Health collects aggregate queries for internal reporting and targeted advertising. We also count, track, and aggregate the visitors’ activity into our analysis of general traffic flows at our sites (e.g., tracking where traffic comes from, how traffic flows within Veritas Health, etc.). To these ends, we may merge information about you into group data, which may then be shared on an aggregated basis with our advertisers; but Veritas Health will not disclose your individual identity or personal data without your permission. When Veritas Health does present aggregated information to outside companies, no one will be able to identify or contact you. In addition, Veritas Health does not provide third-party access to your personal information except in the aggregate and only after the information has been anonymized. The information will be in the form of grouped statistics compiled from our users’ answers to survey questions and on-site behavior.

    • Cookies
      Veritas Health uses cookies (small text files stored by a Web site on your computer to track information and recognize you) to monitor traffic flow, patterns of travel within and through the site, and to target advertising. Cookies are a standard Internet technology that allows us to both store and retrieve login information on a user’s system. Our Web server automatically asks a new user whether his or her browser will agree to accept a Veritas Health cookie file. If a visitor accepts, our Web server will identify the user’s cookie for Veritas Health’s use in internal reporting. If a user accepts a Veritas Health cookie, but would later like to remove it from his or her computer, he or she can just remove it from the browser. The cookie does not track any personal information about you, or extract information for us to contact you.Some ad servers allow you to opt out of anonymous data collection through the use of cookies. To do so, you must opt out of such data collection with each individual site. You can opt out of cookies for several ad servers by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative gateway opt-out site:

Similarly, Veritas Health Web sites provide links to other Web resources and content partners, and users that click on these links will be taken off our Web sites. These other sites may use their own cookies, collect data, or solicit personal information. You should read the privacy policies of each site you visit to determine what information that site may be collecting about you and if you agree to how it will be used.

  • Web Beacons
    Some Veritas Health Web pages may use Web beacons in conjunction with cookies to compile aggregate statistics about Web site usage. A Web beacon is an electronic image, also called an action tag, single pixel (1×1), clear GIF, or Web bug. Web beacons can recognize certain types of anonymous information on a visitor’s computer, such as a visitor’s IP address, time and date of a page view, type of browser, and the existence of cookies previously set by that server. This is information that is available to any Web server you visit. Web beacons do not give any “extra” information away; they are simply a convenient way to gather the simplest of statistics and manage cookies.Web beacons are typically used by a third-party to monitor the activity of a site. You have the option to render some Web beacons unusable by rejecting their associated cookies. The Web beacon may still record an anonymous visit from your IP address, but unique information will not be recorded and we do not tie the information gathered in a Web beacon to personally identifiable information.
  • Web Analytics
    Veritas Health uses Google Analytics to analyze the audience of the website and improve our content. No personal information is collected from Google Analytics. For further information on the privacy policy concerning Google Analytics, please go here.
