Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy is designed to tell you about our practices regarding collection, use, and disclosure of information that you may provide via the reliantrx.com website (the “Site”). Please be sure to read this entire Privacy Policy before using or submitting information to the Site.

1. ACCESS TO THE SITE.

The Site is designed for United States residents. This site is not intended for children under the age of 18, and we will not knowingly collect information from site visitors in this age group.

2. YOUR CONSENT.

By using the Site, you agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy. Whenever you submit information via the Site, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

3. ACTIVE INFORMATION COLLECTION.

Some areas of the Site may require you to submit information in order for you to benefit from the specified features or to participate in a particular activity, such as the retrieval of product literature and other documents. You will be informed at each information collection point what information is required and what information is optional. Some of the information that you submit may be personally identifiable information (that is, information that can be uniquely identified with you, such as your full name, address, e-mail address, phone number, and so on).

4. PASSIVE INFORMATION COLLECTION.

On this site, Reliant does not collect any information that can be traced to a specific individual unless he or she voluntarily and knowingly provides it. Reliant does not require site visitors to register or provide any personal information in order to view this site. Reliant also does not employ "cookie" technology or "single-pixel GIFs" for the purpose of collecting personal information about visitors to this site.
Reliant routinely analyzes the navigational data in its server log files. These log files may contain "clickstream" data and/or IP addresses that are not generally traceable to a specific individual user. Reliant uses these data solely in order to monitor aggregate site traffic patterns for the purpose of system administration, management and improvement.

(a) An IP Address is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider, so you can access the Internet and is generally considered to be non-personally identifiable information, because in most cases, an IP address is dynamic (changing each time you connect to the Internet), rather than static (unique to a particular user's computer). We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our server, report aggregate information, determine the fastest route for your computer to use in connecting to our site, and administer and improve the Site.

(b) A "cookie" is a bit of information that a Web site sends to your Web browser that helps the site remember information about you and your preferences.

(c) "Single-pixel GIFs) (also known as clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies and tell the Web site server information, such as the IP address and browser type related to the visitor's computer.

(d) "Navigational data" ("log files," "server logs," and "clickstream" data) are used for system management, to improve the content of the site, market research purposes, and to communicate information to visitors. This site uses navigational data.

5. USE AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION.

Except as otherwise stated, we may use your information to improve the content of our site, to customize the site to your preferences, to communicate information to you (if you have requested it), for our marketing and research purposes, and for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy. If you provide personally identifiable information to the Site, we may combine such information with other passively or actively collected information, unless we specify otherwise at the point of collection. We may disclose your personally identifiable information to other Reliant affiliates worldwide that agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. In addition, we may disclose your personally identifiable information to third parties, located in the United States and/or any other country but only (i) to contractors who we use to support our business (e.g., fulfillment services, technical support, delivery services, and financial institutions), in which case we will require such third parties to agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy, (ii) in connection with the sale, assignment, or other transfer of the business of the Site to which the information relates, in which case we will require any such buyer to agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy, or (iii) where required by applicable laws, court orders, or government regulations. In addition, we will make full use of all information acquired through the Site that is not in personally identifiable form.

6. ACCESS AND CORRECTION.

To keep any personally identifiable information accurate, current, and complete, please contact us as specified below. We will take reasonable steps to update or correct any personally identifiable information in our possession that you have previously submitted via the Site.

7. SECURITY.

We take reasonable steps to protect your personally identifiable information as you transmit your information from your computer to our site and to protect such information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. You should keep in mind that no Internet transmission is ever 100% secure or error-free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from the Site may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail. Moreover, where you use passwords, ID numbers, or other special access features on the Site, it is your responsibility to safeguard them.

8. LINKS TO OTHER WEB SITES.

This site may contain links or references to other Web sites. Please be aware we do not control other Web sites and, in any case, this Privacy Policy does not apply to those Web sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every Web site you visit.

9. OTHER TERMS.

Your use of the Site is subject to our Terms of Use.
