About the Gendron Privacy Policy
At Gendron, Inc. ("Gendroninc.com"), we recognize the importance of your privacy. That said, it's understandable that you may be concerned with the information you provide to us or that is collected by us and how we use and disclose it. With these concerns in mind, we've developed the Gendroninc.com Privacy Policy, outlined below. This Privacy Policy explains Gendron's privacy practices for visitors to our Web site at www.Gendroninc.com (the "Web site"). By using our Web site, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make any material changes to our Privacy Policy, we will post a new policy on the Web site and update the "last updated" date set forth above. Therefore, we encourage you to check our Privacy Policy whenever you visit the Web site to see if it has been updated since your last visit.

Types of Information We Collect
Personal Information: Personal information is information to specifically identify an individual, such as a user's name, address, telephone number, e-mail address and information about that individual's activities when directly linked to that person such as information about his or her page views. Personal information also includes demographic information, such as date of birth, gender, geographic area, and preferences, when such information is linked to other personal information that identifies the individual.

Aggregate Information:
Personal information does not include "aggregate" information. Aggregate information is data we collect about a group or category of products, services or customers, from which individual customer identities have been removed. In other words, information about how you use a service might be collected and combined with information about how others use the same service, but no personal information will be included in the resulting data. We might share aggregate information about our users with third parties for various purposes, such as helping us better understand and improve our services, and for advertising and marketing purposes.

Patient Information: Patient information provided for the purposes of discussion, exchange of views or consultation; or like matters is not used for any other purposes except those reasonably related to the topic(s) at hand. Gendron reasonably assumes that all users of this site will abide by the Office of Civil Rights Privacy Rule, which protects "individually identifiable health information". For more information on the HIPAA Privacy Rule, visit http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacysummary.pdf.

Additionally, anonymous information is collected via Web site analytic data. This information does not personally identify you but may be helpful for improving the services we offer. It is shared with third parties only as applies it to broad demographics, such as Web site traffic.
