No personal information is obtained through an IP address, but the patterns of usage may be tracked and monitored. We may share statistical or aggregated non-personal information about our users with advertisers, business partners, sponsors and other third parties. This data is used to customize our website content and advertising to deliver a better experience to our users. Please see the section below on cookies for more information.

While some of the information collected is required for membership or business engagement purposes, other information is voluntarily given by the individual. The type of personal information that Medix may collect directly from you could include, but is not limited to, the following:

Sensitive Information

Some U.S. jurisdictions and other countries consider some personal information particularly sensitive. Medix only collects this data when voluntarily given by the individual for statistical purposes and internal use only, such as users who also seek employment with or through Medix.

  • Date of birth
  • Social Security Number
  • Ethnicity, nationality, gender, and other demographic information
  • State ID or Driver's License Number

How Medix May Use Your Personal Information

Medix collects personal information for the following purposes:

  • To provide you with products or services that you have requested;

  • To forward you information of our products and services in which you might be interested;
  • To prevent and detect fraud; and
  • To protect and enforce our legal rights.

Medix reserves the right to disclose and/or transfer personal information to a third party if Medix has reason to believe that disclosing personal information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property, other website users, or anyone else who could be harmed by such activities. Additionally, Medix may disclose personal information in response to a subpoena, warrant or other court order, or when we believe in good faith that a law, regulation, subpoena, warrant, or other court order requires it - or authorizes us to do so - or to respond to an emergency situation.

Medix reserves the right to disclose or transfer personal information to a third party in the event of a proposed or actual purchase, sale (including a liquidation, realization, foreclosure or repossession), lease, merger, amalgamation, or any other type of acquisition, disposal, transfer, conveyance, or financing of all or any portion of Medix, or of any of the businesses of Medix or a chapter/division thereof, in order for you to continue to receive the same products and services from the third party.

If you purchase a product or service at our site, including an In-Sight product through Aha!, we may also ask for your credit card number or other account number you wish to be charged. We do not give out your credit card or other account information to third parties unless you authorize us to do so or if it is necessary to fulfill our responsibilities, including, but not limited to, delivering a product or service you order. We currently use a third party vendor to process online payments. In addition to a credit card number or account information, they may also request your name, cardholder's name, billing address, phone number, and email address. While making these purchases for products or services, this Privacy Policy will not apply and the transaction and collection will be governed by the third party's privacy policy and/or terms of use.
