COOKIES
A cookie is a file that is stored on the visitor’s computer or Web server that is used to help navigate Web pages. Each time the Today’s Hospitalist Web server receives a request from a visitor to view a page, it checks to see if a cookie is present. This allows Today’s Hospitalist to track traffic to the site, such as determining how much traffic is from repeat visitors.

Today’s Hospitalist uses cookies to make its Web site easier and faster to use, not to monitor the use of the site by individual users. Non-identifiable data of visitors to the site may be collected and used to help shape the creation and maintenance of content, and to determine the type of advertising that visitors to the Today’s Hospitalist Web site view while using the site.

You may use the Today’s Hospitalist Web site without accepting cookies. (Refer to the “help” option in your browser software.) Some services offered on the Today’s Hospitalist site, however, may not function properly if the cookies feature has been turned off.

E-MAIL
E-mail messages sent to or from a Web site may not be secure. Confidential information should not be sent by e-mail. Site visitors sending e-mail accept the risk that a third party may intercept e-mail messages.

DISCLOSURE
The Today’s Hospitalist Web site may disclose information about visitors if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary for a number of reasons, including but not limited to the following: conforming to legal requirements or legal processes served on the company; to protect and defend the rights and/or property of the company; to protect the safety of employees or site visitors.

REVISIONS TO THIS POLICY
As the Today’s Hospitalist Web site changes, this privacy statement will change. Today’s Hospitalist and Roman Press Inc. reserve the right to amend this policy at any time and for any reason. Today’s Hospitalist will notify visitors that the policy has been amended by revising the last updated date that appears at the top of this policy.
