Information Collection and Use
Parkinson's Disease Information is the sole owner of the information collected on this
site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways
different from what is disclosed in this statement. Parkinson's Disease Information collects
information from our users at several different points on our website.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing
information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any
personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes
their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting
a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a password more
than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the
cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that
the user will be limited in some areas of our site. For example, the user
will not be able to participate in any of our Sweepstakes, Contests or
monthly Drawings that take place. Cookies can also enable us to track
and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our
site.
Some of our business partners use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers).
However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.

We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track
user's movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate
use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing

any individual person.

are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for
the purpose of providing these services.

requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account
via email.
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as your
zip code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor
to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user's personal data
provided to us. This can usually be done at the member information page
or by emailing our Customer Support.
Choice/Opt-out
Users of our site are always notified when their information is being
collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an
informed choice as to whether they should proceed with services that require
an outside party, or not.
Notification of Changes
If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in
a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will
notify users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether
or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use
information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information
was collected.
Business Transfers
As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy web sites

of the transferred business assets. Also, if Parkinson's Disease Information
or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information
will be one of the transferred assets.
