Wellsource Privacy Statement
Wellsource, Inc., is committed to protecting the privacy and security of individuals who visit the Wellsource website and e-Store (the "Site"). The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to inform you as to what information may be collected from you when visiting the Site, how such information will be used by Wellsource and/or other persons or entities, and the security procedures that we have implemented to protect your privacy.
Collection Of Information
In general, you can visit the Wellsource website without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. There are a few areas on our Site, however, where we ask you to provide information that will enable us to enhance your Site visit or to follow up with you after your visit. It is completely optional for you to participate.
For example, we request information from you when you:- Register on our website
- Place an order
- Provide feedback in an online survey
- Subscribe to a newsletter or a mailing list
In each of these instances, we may ask for your name, email address, phone number, address, type of business, and customer preference information, as well as other similar personal information that is needed to register or subscribe you to services or offers. In the case of newsletters or mailing lists, you will have the option to "unsubscribe" to these mailings at any time.
When visiting the Wellsource e-Store, you will be asked for certain types of personal information: name, shipping or billing addresses, telephone number, fax number, email address, and, if provided (by you), credit card and other financial information. You may be asked to participate in a survey or register with the Site. Collection of this information allows us to fulfill your order and track customer satisfaction. All our employees who may need access to your information to fulfill your order and service your account are bound by written confidentiality agreements and are (a) only authorized to use the personal information for these limited purposes and (b) are not permitted to use personal information in any other way or for any other reason.
We may also collect non-personally identifiable information from you when you visit the Site (e.g., your IP address, browser type, domain name, etc.). This information is collected and analyzed in the aggregate in order to improve the function and content of the Site and to allow us to know which pages consumers access or visit the most.
Cookies
Our website and email may use "cookies" and similar means to gather information. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server if permitted by your browser settings. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you. Cookies are also used to recognize consumers' preferences, store session information (such as items that consumers add to their shopping cart), and past activity at our Site in order to provide better service, easier access when you return to our Site, and to enable the delivery of offers that may be of interest to you. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Site or other websites you visit.
Use Of Information
The information you provide on this Site will be kept confidential and used to support your customer relationship with Wellsource. Among other things, we want to help you quickly find information on our Site and alert you to product upgrades, special offers, updated information, and other new products and services from Wellsource. We may also need to communicate with you about your order or account. Agents or contractors of Wellsource who have access to your personal information and prospect information are required to keep the information confidential and not use it for any other purpose than to carry out the services they are performing for us.
You may opt out of receiving further marketing communications from Wellsource at any time. If you prefer not to receive such mailings, simply tell us when you give us your personal information, or write to: Wellsource, Inc., PO Box 659, Clackamas, OR 97015-0569. You may also send an email to well@wellsource.com or respond to such emails with the word "Unsubscribe" in the subject line.
We do not sell, share or otherwise allow access to information that is collected about you with third parties interested in marketing their products and services to you, except affiliated entities, which may include other companies or websites operated under common control (collectively "Affiliates"). In the case of a merger, sale or reorganization of some or all of our business, we reserve the right to transfer your personal information and other information to the surviving entity.
Wellsource may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary, as required by or permitted by law, to protect and defend the rights or property of Wellsource, or to act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Wellsource website and products, or the public. For example, Wellsource may share personal information with companies or governmental entities assisting in fraud protection or investigation to protect against fraud. We do not provide information to these agencies or companies for marketing or commercial purposes. We may report information about your account to credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your account may be reflected in your credit report.

This policy and all of our legal obligations are subject to the laws of the State of Oregon and the United States of America, regardless of the location of any user. Any claims or complaints regarding this Site must be filed and adjudicated in Clackamas County, Oregon, USA.

Protection Of Children
The Site is a general audience web site that is not specifically designed or targeted at children. We do not knowingly collect, use or disseminate any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If, however, we become aware that personally identifiable information regarding a child under the age of 13 has been collected at the Site, without a parent's or guardian's permission, we will use such information for the sole purpose of contacting a parent or guardian of the child to obtain verifiable parental consent. If we cannot obtain consent after a reasonable period of time, or if when contacted a parent or guardian requests that we do not use or maintain such information, we will make reasonable efforts to delete it from our records.
Security
We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that meet or exceed industry standards to guard your nonpublic personal information. We protect your account information by placing it on the secure portion of our Site, using firewalls and other security technology to protect our network and systems from external attacks, and requiring you to enter a unique user name and password to access your account information online. Also, our servers have been enabled with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to prevent unauthorized parties from viewing the nonpublic personal information that you provide or access during a secure session (look for the padlock icon on your browser). In addition, we employ Authorize.Net's digital certificate services to authenticate that you are transacting with our Web site.
